of the moneyed interests of Eurbpe want
us to make u huge gold loan and borrow
the gold from them at a good American
rate of interest. They are sure we could
get out of our present linunciul'dimcub

England would be quite happy if we
should call for this grout government

The London Standard culls attention
to the fact that it required six months
to exhaust our first gold loan. Then it
