CONCERNING BIMETALLlSM.
An Able Defense of Silver Coinage
by an Eastern Capitalist.

editor Christian Advocate: In
your issue of JAN. 30 | find the fol-
lowing:
occasionally one or more of the
three questions asked and answered
in the following extract from the
Evening Post, (Washington,) come
to this office. Those who are curious
on the subject will be pleased to read
what it says:
To the Editor Evening Post: Sir:
Would you kindly answer the following
three questions? (D What is bimetal-
lism? (2) Whether bimetallism can ex-
list without free coinage? 81 Whether
France maintains a bimetallic standard
today? BY so doing you will settle a We
ry heated argument and greatly oblige,
New York, Jan. 6. A. r. s.
'IThese questions have been answered
five hundred or q Thousand times in our
columns. Bimetallism is the use of two
metals as money of full legal tender,
with unlimited coinage of both for
private individuals. France does not
maintain the bimetallic standard today.
-EDIroR EVENING POST.
1t will be observed that the Editor
of the Evening Post states positively
that "France does not maintain the
bimetallic standard today" If that
statement Is true, it is a good argu-
ment against the use of silver as a
legal tender money of this country;
but if it is false, it ought not to go
unchallenged. The director of the
Mint some time ago gave the legal
tender silver of France as 500, 600
600, which is about ST per capita
of her population. One of the mem
bers of the Monetary Conference
Informed me, on his return here from
Europe, that in addition to this $780,
100000 France also carries as her
money of commerce and account
several millions of silver that is a
legal tender to II limited extent. 1

Her Little q

Sage physicians who make profound
study Of pathological symptoms ought
always to make due allowance for femi-
nine tricks and manners. In the progress
of a prolonged typhoid fever case in
which the patient was a clever young
woman a local doctor expressed himself
as satisfied with the gradual improve
ment Of the patient with the exception
that her tongue did not resume the clear
pink hue of healthy youth. The other
morning, however, the daily inspection
of that member as gracefully protruded
by the maiden pleased the medical man
very much.
"Ah," said he, rubbing his hands to-
gether in a gratified manner, ''your
tongue is looking much better. Miss
Biddy. You will soon be all right"
After the doctor had gone the mother
remarked "Well, Biddy, you certainly
are better. Your tongue looks so i'm
proved"
"Yes'm," said the fair hoax, with a
weary sigh. II got tired hearing the
doctor talk about it, so just before be
came I scrubbed it we'll with my tooth
brush. louisville Courier journal.

SATAN GETS HIS OWN.

To convey some idea to the pub
lie as to what methods are adopted
by the Sound Currency commit
tee to resist the movement for free
coinage we will state that the NEL-
HART HERALD receives almost week
ly an offer to supply this office with
stereotyped plates as many as it can
use, free of charge, such matter as
advocates the gold standard of
value. Along with this generous
offer, the same committee will send
cartoon cuts ridiculing the free sill
yer men, all of which comes free.
The value of plate matter to a coun-
try paper is considerable, as all Of
fees use plates, to a greater or less
extent: and in fields where hired
help is necessarily limited, the bill
of expense for such articles is some
times quite high.
The ''Sound Currency" committee
of the New York Reform Club offers
to furnish this service FREE OF
CHARGE. In many agricultural To-
callties, where papers are struggling
for a bare existence, this kind offer
is snapped up with avidity, the edi-
tor never thinking he is running a
free advertisement for 4 Wall street
baron. When election time arrives
the public is amazed to see those
same agricultural communities vote
solidly for gold standard men, and
wonders why the people will not
stand by their own best interests.
But the scheme is working fine for
the gold bugs, and precious liberties
of the people are II by one de-
throned.
The Reform club is putting annu-
ally hun lreds of thousands of dollars
into this system. And for what?
10 dull the public sense. To per-
petuate a fraud. To build up colos-
sal fortunes at the expense of the
country's producers.
And what are silver men doing to
Offset this movement? Practically
nothing. We sit idly by, and in
dulge in the vain hope that at some
time in the distant future, salvation
will come to us. Men sit on store
boxes, cursing the country, and the
men in authority, but they would
not cross the street to attend a pub
lie meeting duly advertised where
are to be discussed the greatest
questions that ever confronted a
popular government. Everywhere
we hear the question, "Why will not
somebody do something's" But
when it becomes a CASE Of enlisting
the individual citizen in a good
movement, he invariably aims to
throw the responsibility upon an
innocent neighbor. And when the
result of deliberations is announced
and the end of the movement made
known, he denounces the action of
what he terms short-sighted men,
and declares he will have no part in
such movement.
The primary election, ward eau
Gus, in fact every meeting of a po-
litical nature is subject to the above
conditions. The children of a~varice
and vanity, the office seeker, and the
politician are shrewd enough to pro-
tit by the situation: but the devil gets
the rest.
