Let England Follow. Not y..a

A few years ago Great Britain was
vastly richer than the United States.
and her business was incomparablv
greater, but that did not prove that
her form of government or her fnan-
cial system was better than ours. The
reason was that Greae Britain had the
start Of us. But we have overhauled
and passed her, and now we arc the
richest nation in the world, although
by no means 80 rich as we would have
been II we had not gone deliberately
at work to cripple our own resources
and increase the burden of our debt
by destroying one of the money metals
with which that debt might have been
paid, and of which metals we were the
greatest producers So, we are a long
way in the lead of Mexico for various
reasons with which the students of
history are familiar, but our adoption
of the gold standard in 1878 is not one
of those reasons. National Bimetal-
list
The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1896-07-16

Fortunately, the people of the coun.
try are beginning to discover that the
gold standard means the constant con.
traction of the currency. Those who
know that the volume of retail busi-
ness depends entirely on the amount
Of money in circulation are able to ex.
plain the deep depression that has fall
en- on the business interests of this
country. II the volume Of currency
amounted to S22 per capita, business
would be only shade less active than
1t was five years ago. AS matter of
fact, the business of the country is in
such depressed condition that it is
impossible to make any estimate of
the tremendous losses that the gold
standard has involved. The actual
contraction Of the currency is even
greater than any figures show, and it
is bound to continue as long as the
people choose to tolerate the British
system of finance in this country.-At.
lants Constitution.
The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1896-07-16
"suppllcants Long EnouRh." !"

There are frequently to be found
men who say they are in favor of the
use Of silver-of bimetallism, in fact
but that 1t must come about though
international agreement In the pres
ent situation that can be regarded as
no better than pretext for being
against silver. There is no prospect
for international conference. The
hope Of solution by that method has
grown less every year for three or four
years The United States must take
the initiative. This country must take
the steps that will bring the nations
of Europe to US asking for a conference.
We have been the supplicants long
enough. h.--Cincinnat Inquirer
