The Times-Herald evidently IL not for

they are not for Reed either, and no IN
ternational conference palaver can
bring them to his supporter the sup

The question Of the complete restora-
ton Of silver to its former position IN the
monetary system OF the United states
will be the great issue in the campaign
of 1896. and the silver men are perfectly
Indifferent as to what any other nation
may or may not do.
There never was an international
agreement on the money question I'M
til 1866. Every country on the face OF
the earth has always adopted a none
tary system to suit itself except the
United States, which had the gola
standard sneaked in on IT in 1873. with
out the people being consulted at all.
Silver was not demonetiZed by Inter-
national agreement unless 1t was Sc
cret one). and no such agreement Is
necessary for its restoration.

International BimstalIIsm Idea eo,,, m
Up to Deceive American Patriots.
The Times-Herald of the 2ad davo,.s
a good deal Of space in its usual styIe
to the matter Of international agree
ments. One article begins as foIIowa.
The dwindling free-coinage faction
OF the two political parties will find n
difficult hereafter to keep ND any pre-
tense Of expected succor from an inter
national conference"
Then 1t proceeds to argue that no
international agreement can he
reached. and hence that the cause of
silver is doomed. II there is a pro-
nounced and uncompromising friend of
silver restoration in the United States
who has any hope Of substantial results
from an international conference he
has not been heard from very much Of
late. But. as usual, the Times-HeraId
Is badly OF in its conclusions. Instead
OF booming the cause Of silver, II will
strengthen IL, and rouse its friends 10
renewed effort. Some timid bimetal-
lists have hesitated about voting Fur
free coinage because their truthful
goldite friends-such as the Times-Her-
aid representative been constantly
proclaiming that an international
agreement was Just at hand. But now
all disguise Is thrown OF. Leading
gold standard papers not only proclaim
that no international agreement
can be obtained. but that none
is desired. They want the eo.d
standard, pure and simple. Nothing
less. And the Times-HeraId Il right
In one respect: There IL no probabil-
ity Of an international agreement Al
any time until the United States takes
the initiative.
In England and Germany there ara
many able bimetalllsts. The Kreat
