International Bimetallism idea Cotton
Up to Deceive American Patriots.
The TimeszHerald Of the 22d devotes
good deal of space IN its usual stvlo
to the matter of international agree
ments. One article begins as follows:
THE dwindling free-coinage faction
OF the two political parties will find II
difficult hereafter to keep I'D any pre-
tense of expected succor from an inter-
national conference"
Then it proceeds to argue that no
international agreement can be
reached, and hence that the cause of
silver is doomed. If there is a pro-
nounced and uncompromising friend of
silver restoration in the United States
who has any hope of substantial results
from an international conference. he
has not been heard from very much Of
late. But, as usual, the Times Herald
is badly off in its conclusions. Instead
of booming the cause of silver, it will
strengthen it, and rouse its friends to
renewed effort. Some timid bimetal-
lists have hesitated about voting for
free coinage because their truthful
goldite friends-such as the Times-Her-
aid representative been constantly
proclaiming that an international
agreement was just at hand. But now
all disguise is thrown off. Leading
gold standard papers not only proclaim
that no international agreement
can be obtained. but that none
is desired. They want the gold
standard, pure and simple. Nothing
less. And the Times-H Herald is right
in one respect: There is no probable
ity Of an international agreement at
any time until the United States takes
the initiative.
In England and Germany there are
many able bimetallists. The great
body of the toilers and producers are
on that side, but the money sharks are
all for gold, and they control the action
of the governments.
The recent utterances of Hohenlohe in
Germany and Balfour in England

should convince every bimetallist IN

should convince every bimetallist IN
this country that the only hope OF
Americans is in America. If we wait
for England or Germany to save us, we
will never be saved, and we do not de-
serve TO be.
In another article the same paper at
tacks Speaker Reed because Of the re-
port that he is about to propose some
sort of an international conference as
political maneuver to help him with his
boom
The Times-Herald evidently is not for
Reed, but it need give itself no particu-
lar anxiety about his candidacy so far
as the silver men are concerned, for
they are not for Reed either, and no in
ternational conference palaver can
bring them to his supporter the sup
port of any other candidate.
The question of the complete restora
ton of silver to its formerposition in the
monetary system of the United States
will be the great issue in the campaign
Of 1896, and the silver men are perfectly
Indifferent as to what any other nation
may or may not do.
There never was an international
agreement on the money question UNI
Ill 1865. Every country on the face OF
the earth has always adopted none
tary system to suit itself except the
United States, which had the gold
standard sneakad in on it in 1873, with
out the people being consulted at all.
Silver was not demonetized by inter-
national agreement (unless it was a Sc
cret one), and no such agreement is
necessary for it's restoration.
No international conference or dis
cussion" is going to fool the silver men
of this country in the campaign of 1896.

Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, made
a speech upon the currency question in
the senate, the other day. From the
report in the Congressional Record we
take this extract:
Mr.. Daniel: The senator stated that
as civilization advanced silver went
down. Will the senator please state
how that is consistent with the fact
that from 1847 to 1850 when more gold
was produced, the same people who
are now warning upon silver led the
crusade against gold and actually de-
monetiZed it? How is that consistent
with the idea of the natural law, as
claimed by the senator from Louisiana,
that carried silver down as civilization
advanced?
Mr.. Caffery: think the senator from
Virginia has not correctly stated the
facts. Gold has never been demone-
tized in Europe.
Mr.. Daniel: In one or two countries
it has been.
Mr.. Caffery: There is no country that
/ know C. in Europe-of course the SUI
perior information and knowledge Of
other senators on that point will correct
me if l am wrong-that ever demone-
tized gold. At the period of the dis
covery of the gold mines of California,
when there was a tremendous output
of gold, gold being a commodity like
everything else, noted French writer
of that period, NJ. Chevalier in discuss
ing the finances of France, thought per-
haps it was best to demonetize gold,
but it was never done.
Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon: Germany
demonetized gold, will say to the sem
ator.
Mr.. Teller: And so did Holland in
1S47.
Mr.. Caffery: 1 stand corrected then.
and the question of the senator from
Virginia now needs an answer.
Here is senator of the United States
presuming to instruct the people upon
the subject of currency, who actually
did not know that two European ma
tons demonetized gold when gold was
cheap and silver was dear. If gold
should now become cheap and silver
dear, we would have a repetition of this
performance, and nothing more would
be heard of the superiority of that gold
standard. The whole purpose of men
who uphold the system is to make
money abnormally dear, and they care
little whether they can accomplish the
end by using one metal or the other.

READER.
Prior to the 18th of February, 1873,
any person having silver bullion OF
suitable fineness could take it to the
American mint and have it coined into
dollars at the rate of 371H grains
of pure silver to the dollar, the gov
eminent putting in enough copper as
alloy to make the weight of the dollar
412R grains.
The money thus coined was full legal
tender for all debts, public and private.
On that date the mint law was re-
vised, and in the revision the silver
dollar was omitted from the list of
coins, and trade dollar of 37S grains
of pure silver, or APO grains of stand
ard silver, was substituted. By the
general revision of the statutes, which
took place the same year the legal ten
der of all silver coins. was fixed at So.
So that, instead of coming standard
dollars of full legal tender, we went
to coming trade dollars that were only
available as money up to S.. This con-
stituted the decentralization of silver.
Every dollar OF our enormous debt,
public and private, became at once
payable exclusively in gold, except that
silver could be used for the payment Of
small debts not exceeding SIS.
Silver, in short, was reduced to the
grade of small change, and our stand
ard money, instead of comprising both
gold and silver, consisted of gold alone
Germany began the work of demone-
thing silver in 1871, by stopping the
coinage, and completed IL by taking
away its legal tender in 1873, few
months after our act was passed.-Na-
tionalist Bimetallist.

time drew closer to the rocker. where

ever he was, but now he couldn't say
word if his life had depended on it,
though he tried desperately several
times to start II conversation. And the
widow just sat there, apparently en-
tirely unconscious, with her mind seem
ingly fixed upon some trifie she was
sewing. Did she have an idea of what
was passing in her visitors mind? Of
course not; women are such dear, inno-
cent creatures, especially widows. The
deacon grew very restless as the minutes
passed swiftly by and finally, as if the
heat was too great, he got up and moved
away from the fire. Somehow when he
settled down again his chair was much
nearer the widow, but she didn't seem
to notice the change and kept on sew
ing.

while if the truth must be told he abso-

hands on his knees as if something had
happened with which he was immense
ly delighted. do you recall what the
parson preached about?"
1t must have been the heat from the
burning logs that caused the widows
cheeks to blush so. She couldn't even
look up from her sewing as she replied:
"Well, come to think of it, deacon, l
think it was about weddings and such
things. But I amt quite sure, for I
didn't pay much attention, Pm afraid,
to that part of the discourse"
The chairs were getting very close.
"That's it, that's it," cried the deacon,
bringing his hands down upon his
knees with slap that startled the ca
nary from his perch and set the widows
heart beating furiously. That's it.
And don't you remember where he said

the town board. The deacon was feel
ing cold and out of sorts generally, and
somehow his ideas had been travelling
for weeks past in direction decidedly
singular for such confirmed bachelor
as he. All he appeared to lead up to one
object and that was the Widow Martin.
The deacon was getting on dangerous
ground, but he didn't seem to know it.
He had always said there wasn't wom-
an who could catch him. He had lived
so long without one that he was not 60
ing to be taken in by any of them at this
time of life. Not he; and he grew sew.

this consolation to his breast. But this
particular New Years eve he was I'M
accountably lonely and dispirited.
Everybody who was anybody in Con-
way was full of rest and cheer and just
brimful of happiness. The spirit of
the holidays was everywhere, but the
deacon was alone. There was no one to
welcome him, no one to greet him with
"a Happy New Year," at his home, ex-

cept, perhaps, his old houselleepcr, who
was deaf and ill-tempered enough to
sour the biggest cask of cider in his eel
lar.
1t was no wonder, then, that as he
reached the Widow Martins cottage he
determined to stop just for chat with
her and to warm himself before going
to the meeting. That was all. If he
had been told there was anything else
on his mind he would have thought the
suggestion ridiculous. The widow
heard the deacon's blackboard stop-in
fact she had seen him coming up the
road-and there had been hasty glance
over the room, and just peep in the
looking-glass on the mantel to see if
everything was in order, long before
the deacon's voice was heard on the
frosty air and the wheels had ceased to
revolve in front of the cottage. By the
time he had blanketed and covered his
horse and led him to the shed out of the
cold blasts that swept down the hill

Conway it was Deacon Harding, the pill
lar of the Methodist church and the
strictest selectman the New Hampshire
village had ever known. He had never
married, and some folks said he was too
mean, and that all he thought about
was putting up goodly share of this
worlds goods to his credit in order that
he might make better provision for the
commodities of the next. But, then,
people will talk.
IT was, therefore, matter of consid-
cradle speculation among his neighbors
when the deacon was seen to stop oc-
casionally at the Widow Martins cot
tage, and many and varied were the con-
lectures about the outcome. The widow
was plump, rosy checked, and good ma
tured, and her dear departed having left
ner more than two years before she
was, as she believed herself, fully quail
fed to be considered among the eligibles
of the little world in which she lived.
She had heard (what women does not?)
of her neighbors' talk about her, but
being of that happy disposition which
does not heed the stories Dame Rumor
occasionally circulates, she kept on her
way regardless of all the gossips said.

spot when the snow lay piled up in
the mountain sides and the mercury
was away below zero. A bright light
