dispensable to the general reader who
wishes to keep abreast Of the rapidly
developing international questions of the

Gunlon's magazine for April contains a
number of very valuable articles. Under
the head of "A Full Weight Silver Dollar"
it says: 1T is safe to say that no solution
of the silver question is feasible in this
country on the basis of silver monometal-
lism. If the fight is forced on monometal-
list lines, the single metal will not be sill
YER The only solution Of the question ia
vorable to silver is in the direction of BIZ
metallism-the use of silver with gold.
The silver people profess to be favorable
to this; ana if they are, any feasible plan
for dealing with the subject on a bimetallic
basis should receive their hearty support.
In our last issue we suggested a plan by
which bimetallsm could be secured with
the unlimited coinage of silver by adopt
ing a flexible ratio thus adapting the guam
tfty of silver in the dollar to the value, so
that the silver dollar in actual circulation
will always be worth as much as the gold
dollar, either as bullion or as money. On
der such conditions there could be no ten
dency of silver to drive out gold, or vice
versa, and, consequently, no reason for
restricting the coinage of either" Politi-
