The American BimetallC League
Issues an Address
Calling ON the People to Form
a White Metal Party
And Sweep the Country i'm the
Next Presidential Election.

Washington, March 5.-The fol
lowing was to-day issued by the
American Bimetallic League:
A statement of the issues on
which the new party will organize {:
The money question is now i'll
disputably the dominant issue in
the United States, and will remain
so until settled and settled rightly.
Other questions, however impOr-
tant, must wait for this, which, to
greater or less extent, involves
all others. The issue is between
the gold standard bonds and bank
currency OH the one side, and the
bimetalllc standard, no bonds and
government currency On the other.
/. On this issue we declare our
selves to be unalterably opposed to
the single gold standard, and lie
mand the immediate return to the
constitutional standard of gold and
silver, by the restoration by this
government, independently of any
foreign power, and unrestricted
coinage of both gold and silver
into standard money at the ratio OF
10 To |, and upon terms of exact
equality; the silver coinage to be
a full legal tender, equal with gold,
for all debts and dues, public and
private.
2. We hold that the power to
control and regulate paper cur
rency is inseparable from the pow
or to coin money; and hence that
all currency intended to circulate
as money should be issued, and its
Volume controlled, by the general
government only, and should be
legal tender:
+ 3. We are unalterably opposed
to the issue by the United States
of erest-bearing bonds in time
of peace, and demand tho pay
ment of all coin obligations of the
United States, as provided by ex-
listing laws, in either gold or silver
coin, at the option of the govern
ment, and not at the option Of the
creditor.
On this issue we appeal from the
dictatiOn of the money power to
the intelligence and patriotism of
the American peOple.-Daily Plea

Colbert was tho French states

To claim that duties upon for

is the merest bosh.

There always appeared tome an
inconsistency in this +; and l have
never been able to get the idea
that money is measure of value,
at all, to stick in my mind. And
l have endeavOred in recent ar
ticle published in the COnrade to
give a definition of a measure of
value that strikes me as being more
nearly correct than any thing /
have yet seen in print.
1 here give it, ''The measure of
value of money itself, and OF all
other things, is the time and labor
and skill required to produce the
(mOney orr thing, taken together
with the quantity Of product and
demand for it i'm use.
Now, after you shall have ascer-
tanned the value of any given
thing by this rule you may express
this value in figures representing
dollars and cents and "a medium OF
exchange may represent this value,
but not measure it.
The rule measures, the figures
express, and the money represents
the value of the thing; and the
value of the money, the represen-
tative of value, would, itself, have
been measured by this rule.
Mr.. GrOh is mistaken in saying
that gold is so very valuable be-
cause so much labor IS required to
mine and smelt it. 1t requires
some labor to do this; but that
alone does not fix the value-there
is the time, the quantity of pro-
duct and demand for 1t in use all
to be taken into the calculation in
ascertaining its value; and of mOn-
ey, the medium of exchange which
would represent value so ascer-
tanned, McCullOch says, Kit is pos
sible, by sufficiently limiting its
quantity to raise its value in ex-
change to any conceivable extent"
Judge Tiffany says the only
necessary to assure value to mon
ey made of leather, and not re-
deemable in precious metals, is to
properly regulate its quality and
guard against cOunterfeiting. The
demand for it in use will then
regulate its value.
Then, if this be true, and it is,
to what extent may gold not ap-
preciate as population and produc-
ton increase / will not say as
trade increases, because the in
crease of trade will not be an item
to consider ON even a relatively
diminishing money supply, can you
fix the limit
Mr.. Groh argues against the res
tOration of silver, that it would
again disturb values. The bene-
fits to accrue to the great debtor
class, now so oppressed, are not
then worth considering; the rob-
Der is to be allowed to walk off
with his booty, and invited to re-
peat his depredations at will, by a
guarantee Of perfect immunity
from all responsibility for his acts;
and this, because to demand res
toration would disturb the equi-
namity of the robber..
