If Gov. Foster really favors gold mon
ometallism, why don't he come out in a
manly way and say sof He is entitled ia
his opinions on this question.-Shreve-
port progress.
Gov. Foster we suppose, is bi-metal-
list, and decidedly opposed to moncmet-
alism. For this reason he should, by all
the rules OF logic, favor the ''gold stan
dard," which is the only system Of finance
under which this country has ever had,
or ever viii have, gold and silver circu-
lating concurrently. He knows full well
that "free silver" will never give US BIZ
metalism, but viii ruin our currency
and while we do not approve Of every
public man rushing into print just to
satisfy the morbid curiosity Of every
scribe that desires 10 pump him, still we
should like very much to see the Cover
nor express himself on this important
issue.
