Senator Gray is reported as say
ing that President Cleveland is now
and constantly has been a sincere
b%imetallist, From this some. care
less persons infer that the President
is ready to consent to free silver
coinage. It would be rash to at
tempt to define Mr.. Cleveland's po-
sitien for him, but if he has used
words correctly, the declaration
that be is a bimetallist necessarily
implies that he will not consent to
free coinage Of silver by the United
States alone, whether on the present
ratio or On any other.
The bimetallist is one who strives
to secure the use of both metals to-
gether as money, at some established
ratio of value. For the United States
alone to do this is utterly impossible,
and the attempt could only result in
driving one metal or the other out
OF circulation as money. # silver
were freely coined one Of two things
would happen: either silver would
remain below par in gold, or it would
rise to Or above par in gold. IF ii
should remain below the coming rate,
so that dollars cheaper than gold
dollars could be obtained without
limit by holders of silver, the supply
of such cheaper dollars would inev-
itably drive gold out ofuse as mon.
ey. But if silver should rise to or
above the coming rate, there would
be no inducement to coin it, since the
bullion could be sold at once for
gold or paper dollars vastly more
convenient in use than the silver
coined, and that metal would cease
to be used as money.
This is inevitable while the disuse
of silver by other nations, or its use
at a ratio different II ON that OF the
United States, continues to- rule the
worlds market for bullion. This
country can no more prevent by leg
islation the foreign silver markets
from being controlled by the pro-
duction and the demand than il can

by legislation fix the, worlds price~
for wheat or cotton. DO one nation
can make money odt Of meta, for 10
the best and broadest sense money 10,
Ionly that which is accepted in the
worlds commerce 30 the standard
fof value.
It ought to be plain to everybody,
and is plain to President Cleveland,
as his latest message shows, that nee
coinage by the United States would
only binder, and that. most power
fully, any agreement ofnations about
the coinage and uee of silver. AS
long as this country undertakes to-
bear all the load of difficulty and
peril BY keeping open an artificial
market for q large part of the worlds
production of silver, 80 long other
nations will wait to profit by our
blunder. When this couatrv stops
that performance, and thus forces
other nations to- bear their part in
settling the silver question, there
will at once come into operation
most powerful motives for agree
ment by mutual concessions.
The man who urges or consents to-
free coinage of silver by the United
States alone cannot be ia truth o.
bimetallist. His whole effort is hos~.
tile to the use of the two metals as
money, and is calculated to prolong
the monetary warfare between MAJ
tons, in which the enormous advan-
tage rests with those who compel
the settlement Of all accounts in gold
or its accepted representative
