LANSING, Mich, Sept. Monday
night Mr.. Fitch said he had advocated
free coinage for years, that he pfoposs d
to remain both republican and q BIZ
metalllst, and that be refused to permit
the proportions OF his republicanism
and his bimetallism to be ordered by
democratic authority or be measured
with Bryan tape line. All parties fav-
ored free coinage and differed only as TO
the best method of accomplishing it.
John Stuart Mill compscted the argu-
ment in favor of bimstallism into SEN
tence which he said that an increase in
the quantity OF money raises prices.
The market value of the products of
labor had been affected though not 40
solutely controlled by the action IN 1873
Of Europe and the United States in
abolishing the free coinage of silver
No man could feel msre bitterly than be
toward those who engineered the de
of silver, but two foolish
acts never made q wise one. and we
could not now repair the mischief OF 1878
BY flying to the opposite extreme and |
pulling down the single gold standard |
merely to erect single silver standard |
u its place.
In 1873 ali the great commercial ma

Since then they had seated gold as |

1t ia not a question of the power of
he United States to establish its own
ystem of coinage. OF course, we could

orce Europe to follow us. IL the ques-
ion were to be settled by the shock OF

Twenty three years ago Germany led
be world into the mistake Of demoneti-
alton of silver. France, Italy, Spain,

ollowed, and Uncle Sam walked after
