Congressman Bryan's Argument In Favor Of
the Double Standard

Congressman Brysn's Argument In Favor Of
the Double Standard
LEXINGTON, KY. July 5.-Congress-
man Bryan commanded the closest at
tsntion of large audience here tonight
in arguing for bimetallism. He said
monometallists discuss the difficulty in
maintaining the parity between the two
metals, while bimetallsts are more anx-
ious to maintain the parity between the
dollar and all other property.
He quoted from Sherman, Blaine and
Carlisle showing that the destruction
of silver meney and the adoption OF the
universal gold standard would increase
the purchasing power OF the dollar and
bring great en- barrassment to society in
general, while il would greatly benefit the
capitalists. He asserted that the masses
favor bimetallism. Capitalists favor a
gold standard as the most profitable to
owners of money and credit. He showed
change in the ratio would lessen the
volume of money and make money
dearer. He quoted William G. Cornwall,
president OF the New York State Bank
ers' association, saying international
bimetallism is delusion and fraud,
and no insisted that the United States
should at ohce restore the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at 16 to l. be-
cause 1T was possible TO- the United
states TO do so and because there was no
possibility OF international aid.
