THE INTERNATIONAL AGREE
MENT MYTH.
THE

There are honest men who favor the
gold standard. 1t is true that they
usually have money or fixed incomes
which a gold standard appreciates, but
they are not always aware that their
condition influences them. The hon
est advocates of the gold standard are
entitled to respectful consideration,
but the men who go about advocating
Mckinley as the best method of secur-
ing international agreement are moth
ing but imposters. Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon, one of McKinley's staunch-
est supporters, voiced the sentiment of
those who are posing as bimetallists
when he stated in speech in Janna-
ny, 1896 that sit would be just as inn
possible to secure an international
agreement, either now or hereafter, as
to secure railroad connection between
here and the planet Mars"
Tt will never be secured until the
United States takes the lead and forces
England to come to it or lose it's trade
in silver countries.
