BINiETALLISM.
Lot me call your attention briefly TO
/ the advantages Of blmetallisn. IL Is not
I claimed that by the use Of two metals at
I fixed ratio absolute stability can be
secIrcd We only contend that thus the
monetary unit will become more stable in
relation TO other property than under
| arl were really more desirable
THAI a double standard, we are
| not free 10 choose gold and would
[ DO c5i!rsued 10 select silver, Gold and
/ silver must remain the component parts
4 OF the metallic money Of the word
! that must be accepted rs an indispuinble
| fact. Our abandonment Of silver would
| In all probability drive Il out Of use as
primary money, aud silver as o promise
/ 10 pay gold b. little, II any. better than
| q paper promise TO pay, II blmetallism
I is impossible then we must make up

abandonment Of both gold and silver.
{ tApplauscJ
| Let us suppose the worst that has been
/ prophested by our opponents, namely,
1 that We would be upon silver standard
/ u we attempted the free coinage Of both
| gold and silver az any ratio. Let Us sup.
| pose that all our gold goes TO Europe and
| we have only silver. Silver would not be
| inconyeuicnt to use, becitusc silver
| certificate is Just as convenient to han
| de as a gold certificate, and the silver
! itself need not BE- handled except where
| " IS necessary for change. Gold Is not
! handled among the people No one de-
! sires to ACCEPT any large amount 10 gold.
! The fact that the treasury has always
| on hn1d a large amount of gold coin
| deposited IN exchange for gold cOrtih-
! Gates shows that the paper representa-
! live is more desirable than the metal
! Itself. ", following ont he sun0oitiuu,
| our gold goes abroad Europe will have
more money with which % buy orr OK.
] porls-cotton, whrnt, cattle and hogs.
H. ON the other hand, We adopt gold.
| we must draw 10 ftom Europe, and thus
| lessen their money and reduce the price
| OF our exports In eoreign murkets. This
| TOO would decrease The total value Of our
! exports and increase the amount Of pro-
ducts which it would be necessary to
send abroad TO pay The principal aud in
| ierest which we owe to hnudhnldcrs and
! stockholders residing ia Europe. Some
! nave suggested the ndyisahility OF issuing
! gold bonds In order To maintain gold
| standard, Let them remember that those
! bonds sold In this country will draw
money from circulation and increase the
| strlngency, mud sold abroad will affect
| injnriously the price Of our products
abroad, thus making q double tax upon
the toilers of the United States, who
must ultimately pay them.
