most conservative light the incident is
regarded as being an act of studied dis
courtesy of the Germans toward the
British and can hardly fail to call forth
serious diplomatic representations.

The fight is to restore TO its old place
the wrongfully-ejected silver unit,

fuctuated and went higher. and then
II would call In all the outstanding
pieces. and bite on larger chunks Of
silver. But this would not be the
American dollar at all. and that Is Just
the point in the case. The old Spanish
milled dollar of 371A grains was a
standard dollar and unit of value In
parts Of this country from 1880 to 177J,
when the Continental congress adopted
II as the standard dollar, on which TO
borrow money to carry on the revolu-
tionary war. That war debt was in

The revolutionary debt was paid in
silver dollars OF exactly that weight.
The debt OF tEte second war with Great
Britain was incurred and afterwards
paid in silver dollars Of that exact
standard. IL anybody had called the
money "a 91-cent dollar" he would
probably have been rotten-egged for

To undertake to do the business of
tie world on single gold basis Of
measurement and equivalents means
loss. bankruptcy, poverty. suffering
and despair. Debts will grow larger,
and taxes become more onerous. The

his crops; labor will be forced down,

series Of strikes. lock-outs. and a sus-
pension Of production. Those who

Il am In favor OF bImetalllsm as the

keep that issue 70. the front We should
not strive for temporary success or
compromise. We should be for free
coinage under an international agree
ment. II It be possible to procure one.
and. II not possible. then for Independ-
ent bimetallism. This is the great goal
for which We should strive. Il cannot
be done at once. Our friends must not
be impatient. The people must be
educated. The unexpected action OF In
dia and the general sentiment o, the
monied classes conspire against Us al
this time. do not believe In the Bland
bill or any other measure which
guarantees anything less than
the unrestricted coinage for gold
and silver alike. as pledged in
the democratic national platform.
Let us prepare not for the present vic
tory, but for victory upon that issue in
1896. The repeal Of the Sherman law
will not give the relief which is antiei-
pated. II will aid business temporarily.
but In year times will be hard, and the
