The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1895-03-09

The cheek of the average silver
man is something superlative. As
soon as the question of delegates to
an International Monetary Conven-
ton was sprung in Congress, i'm
mediatly the silver men claimed the
bulk of representation! We should
not be at all surprised to see the
claim advanced that the silver men
brought about international consid-
Grafton of this subject; that they
have been standing behind Cleve-
land all this time, urging him to
this very end, and all their villifi-
cation was only to spur him on in
his endeayors.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1895-03-09

the chief commercial countries of
the world, there is no bimettallic
standard, but only gold, or one
metal standard. And q correspond
ing state of things would exist if a
silver standard were adopted. Our
importers purchasing goods abroad
and American tourists travelling in
foreign countries, would be COM
PEELED to purchase gold with which
to pay their foreign debts. All the
interest on Government, State and
corporation bonds due abroad would
have to be paid in gold, and the
gold would have to be purchased
wherever it could be got, no matter
what might be the price. In any
case there would be two metals, but
only one standard, and this would
not be bimetalism in any sense of
two fixed standards.
The paper referred to in the be-
ginning of these observations en-
deavors to erect two standards b.
having the Secretary of the Treas
ury, or the Director of the Mint,
proclaim as ratio once a month,
or at some other fixed interval of
time, the value of the gold and sill
yer coins of the Union, regulating
their values by the market prices
of gold and silver bullion. Really
some such rule is tho only one in
sight that would seem to create two
money standards with two metals.
But what sort of standards would
they be? Once a month, or once
in three months, the values Of all
the dollars would have to be chang
ed. The word dollar" as applied
to money, would then mean nothing
but the varying values of SO many
grains of gold or silver as the cnse
might be. Such are some of tho
chief difficulties in the way ns
adopting at the same moment two
standards of money. Only ono
standard is praticable. It must be-
either silver or gold. The people
are surely entitled to have either
they prefer; but, before taking the
step, they ought to consider we'll
what they really wish.

The undersigned, believing that
