the Introduction of devastating
plague among the Republicans. The

calamity supposed to be possible under

never conceived of, nor Is 1T yet a
thinkable proposition. The secretary
may think his prominence would give
him an entree into high-up circles, and
that there are open arms to receive
him, but not SO. The whole Republi-
can field would scamper. if not actually

WIEN ALI. THE GOLD GOES.

The series of pamphlets being issued
by the Reform club, on sound currency.
are filed with unreasonable contec-
| lures, intended TO brighten the timid,
and with assumptions founded upon
neither reason or experience. But
what the most persistently and unani-
mously harp upon is the necessity for
unit of value" in gold. Some Of these
| hired writers presume SO far upon the
intelligence Of the people as to assert
| that unit or standard is impossible
in anything save gold, ignoring the
| historical fact that within the brief
| history of this country recognized
unit of value for international pur-
poses was tobacco. and for domestic
| commerce coonskins. ginseng. and the
like. The constitution expressly pro-
vides that congress shall name STAN
darois and fix values. There can be
no question touching the power OF
congress TO enact a law fixing the
amount of gold which shall constitute
dollar, and the amount of silver
which shall constitute the same thing.
and that both of these dollars shall be
good for all debts, therefore both units
of value
Like unto the unit" declaration, and
as false, is the one that gold being the
value-standard OF all Europe therefore
the necessity which arises for America
TO adhere TO recommendation in the in
terest of trade and for the settling Of
international balances. All Europe
does not maintain the single gold
standard nor single standard of any
kind. France. Russia, Greece, Bel
GUM, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Tri-
poll and the Netherlands do not have
the gold standard but the double stan
dard, except in two instances where
they have, if we remember correctly,
the single silver standard
All this goldite buster of falsehOods
is on 4 par with their ever reiterated
declaration that if silver should be
rehabilitated by free, unlimited and
Independent coinage, SO that 3I11a
grains of bullion would be worth Il
dollar, that all the gold would leave
this country. Ii all the gold should
leave the country it is presumable that
something would be returned in its
stead. Europe cannot take away the
gold of America without leaving some
thing for it. When all our gold goes
we will be left by them something to
show for it. We are not going to give
it away, even though our coinage of
silver should result in supplying us
with all the money that we want. The |
five or six hundred millions of yellow |
boys, piled up In the treasury, in bank |
vaults, and stuffed away in old stock |
ing legs might possibly, it strikes us, |
be utilized for something besides fill |
ing up the holes in old decayed teeth. |
Europe has fast horses, fine ships, |
bright diamonds, silks, wines and the |
like, which would be better than moth |
ing, or than to just give them the gold |
for the sake of getting rid OF it. If we
could do no better we might get up a |
deal with Mr.. Cleveland's Wall street |
friends, the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
gan syndicate, who seem to have a
after gold. But silver once
remonetized We would have no more
bonds to sell to that syndicate and they
might have no other use for our gold.

not turned over at last accounts. This
sweet scented reformer whom Cover

expense and salary for a period of only
five months So, 33S.96 and at time

Every appointive Pop officer has to be

latively rotten gang that ever attained

Notwithstanding all this, no Republi-

Morrill, by defending or eXcusing any

have to be jerked out the positions
which they are untitled to fill, and
yanked loose from the public teat, by

of the double standard for consent TO
remonetize silver in this country. In
other words. they favor bimetalism
on terms which cannot. and never
will be complied with. Such advocacy
of silver bears close analogy to the
worlds conference of religions two
years ago. Jews and Gcntiles were
brought face to face. To harmonic diff
ferences which were fundamental. and
which forever constituted one Jew
and another a Gentle. No wonder
the Jewish rabbi ridicuied the senti-
mental conception of the conferences.
So 1t has been. ana so 1t will be in
these sO-called international money
conferences. The double standard Will
be opposed by the leading governments
would repel our efforts to urge upon
them republican form of government.
If we are unable, within ourselves. TO
establish a ratio, and maintain parity
between the two metals we might as
well abandon the contest. This is so
apparent on its face that 1t suggests
grave doubts as TO the sincerity of
those who pretend to believe ii will
ever be done through international
agreement. The rich may enter heaven
as 4 camel goes through the eye Of
needle; but we are told that all things
are possible under OmnipOtent rule.
This international ratio device is Ia,
of that order. Let us cease to daily
with the arch enemy of our most abun-
dant precious metal, and let us pro-
coed in business way to provide for
Its legitimate use in our domestic trade
Ii will save us the insults of the last
international conference, and greatly
relieve the pressure in every line of
business. Besides 1t would be no pri-
walton to give up the diminutive frac-
ton OF trade which comes from Eu-
rope. There is no greater humbug
than this continual prating about an
international currency to be used in
exchanges with foreign
countries, and 1t would certainly be
the better policy on our part to pro-
vide currency suited to our own use.

MIGHT BE A WESTERN NAN.

1t being apparently conceded, on all

administration of the affairs of this
country there being but single issue,

In this connection the estimate or

both significant and interesting. The
estimate is on the side of 4 gold Repub-

standing of all the delegates from the

The logic of the situation. If the
above guess be anywhere near the
truth. would indicate a possible tenn
porary abandonment OF old party lines.
II both old parties should name gold

thus divide the soldite vote between

With such Il candidate on such a plat

doubtful. The monied east. with its

it was founded. save the one which
abolished human slavery. would lose
its balance of political power. which
