Editor Leader The Capital OF July
. undertakes to combat our position
on what is "true bimetallism, and
tue awkward predicament in which it
finds itself on the money question, by
a play fui righteousness rather than
sober argument, and suggests the cal
ling TO our aid certain monetary ex-
perts. but singular enough leaves out
OF the list the name of its editor.
This is hardly justice toward itself,
especially when the subject of elastic
ity is considered in connection with
the money issue.
The Capital also does its intelligence
violence when IL says "bimetallism is
the coequal circulation of silver and
gold, each with unlimited power "
That may be a sort Of bimetallism--a
tail to the gold kite, so Is speak; but
it is not the bimetallism advocated by
the people of this country, nor is it
the bimetallism so forcefully advo-
Gated by the Capital previous to the
pronouncement OF the gold standard
by the ST. Louis Republican national
convention
The bimetallism Of tue Democratic
party, and for that matter the great
masses Of the Republican party, in
contradistinetion TO its goldbug lead
ers, is the free and unlimited coinage
OF gold and silver without discrimina-
tion against either OF these metals at
the ratio Of 10 to j,
The unlimited financial power Of the
two metals thus coined and stamped
will take care Of themselves in the
commercial marts of this country and
Of the world. The stamp Of the gov
ernment declaring the coinage value
of the two metals gives il its power,
just as II does to the paper dollar. No
body, at least no one that the writer
ever heard OF, contends that the mere
act OF mintage in itself gives the
power to the dollar, whether of gold
or silver, and we search in vain our
previous article to find reason or any
grounds for the Capitals charge that
we SO held. Mintage and coinage are,
however, synominous, and the lexico-
graphers tell us they mean 70 coin,
