HOucSt Money.


The Dispatch has always been in favor
Of honest money" but has not deemed it
proper to take to task good Democrats
who do not agree with it on the various
questions involved In the silver problem.
Up to the time Of the closing of the
mints Of India to free coinage. We held
that the free coinage of silver was the only
10 restore silver to the place 1t occupied
In our currency system up to 1873.
Since that closing we have consistently
shown a friendly disposition towards ST.
ver and have always advocated the hold
ing of an international bimetalllc confer
ence, In the hope that such conference
would devise some method of restoring to
us the admirable gold-andsilver cur
Iency which We had in this country up
to the time above specified.
We have never demanded a coinage
ratio of 16 to 1. but have always desired
to leave the question OF the ratio between
the white and the yellow metals to be
determined by the international bimetal-
lie conference.
AS we said the other day. the coinage
ratio is a most important question. in
volving as It does almost every feature
Of bimetallism.
More: We have never pretended to be-
lieve that this country could maintain
silver currency or the coinage OF silver
at a ratio Of l6 to 1, without the cooper
alton Of say England and Germany.
France. Austria, Italy, Spain. and other
countries ought to Join in the movement.
Let cavillers and "men who know 1t alr'
say what they may, there is no good
reason why an international coinage ratio
should not be established by the assist
ance Of three or more Of the great COM
mercial Powers Of Europe.
We know, or certainly suppose, that
contrary to our own views large ma
tority Of the Democrats OF Virginia are
In favor Of the free coinage OF silver at
a ratio Of 16 to 1, and without interna-
tional cooperation. We see. however, no
reason for denouncing them and speak
ing of them az simpletons because they
do not concur in our opinions. AS Mr..
Cleveland Is to continue In tho preslden-
tial office till March 4, 1887. we see no
necessity for calling State convention
this year to formulate a creed which
ought to be formulated. II anywhere, In
q Democratic National Convention. Nor
shall we denounce any good Democrat
for his position on the silver question.
Those who know least on this question
are those who think they know most.
whilst those who know most on 1t are
those who think they know least

theory concerning national banks was
that the government should be wholly
divorced from relations with them. ex-

throw safeguards around them In order
to insure their stability and liability. His
belief in this connection was, he said,
based on both constitutional and practi-
