The Drift Toward Gold.

While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict of last
| November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
battle for silver" at the next congress
sional elections; while a bimetallic
commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest of International bimetallism,
! there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistakable drift toward the
single standard of gold Since the ap-
pointment of the United States COM
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit
less, and that there is no more probabil-
ity of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re-
turning to flintlock muskets for their
armies. The latest announcement is
from Russia, which is to the effect that
she is irrevocably committed to the gold
standard.
But it is not in Europe alone that
this tendency is observable. The wis
dom and apparent ease with which the
japanese government has planned the
adoption of the gold standard is one of
the marvels of modern craftsmanship
and marks that people as among the
most sagacious nations of the earth
Laggard China also seems to be awak-
ing from her silver dream of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
lies at the treaty ports placed ON the
gold basis, as they substantially were
when the treaties were made. The de-
probation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is COM
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed that her
finances will be conformed to the gold
standard.
If we turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive
stirring in the Central and South Amer
lean states to reform their monetary sys-
tenn and escape the losses entailed by
an inferior and deprecated currency. A
dispatch a few days since from Lima
informed us that Peru had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed a
law against the importation of silver
Columbia has adopted the gold stand

silver i'll but limited sums. I<1Hondu-
ras, San Salvador, Costa Kica and Santo
Domingo the gold standard has been es-
tablished by law, though deprecated
paper currency prevents the circulation
OF gold at present These movements 20
to show that those nations who are in
touch with European trade and COM
merce feel the necessity of having the
same monetary system and that their
people are at disadvantage because Of
their f1uctuating and deprecated home
currencies
And yet while these nations, admit
tedly our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
struggling out Of the bonds that hold
them back there are those among us
| who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by plunging us down to the
| silver standard. What must the nations
Of the world think of such leadership
and statesmanship?-C Times

silverites Should Drop Jefferson.

It is in vain to invoke the authority
Of Jefferson for the coinage of 80 cent
dollars or any other debasement of the
currency. Our ''neo Democratic
friends, if they wish to vindicate their
claim to the title Of "old line Dem
ocrats, who have Jefferson for their
father, will have to abandon their idea
of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to /
or any other arbitrary rate, but if they
will have double standard make it 80
to l., in order to be honest in the pay
ment Of debts and to conform to the ac.
tual ratio in the value of the two met
ais in the markets of the world, it be-
ing, as Jefferson says, "a mercantile
problem altogether. Baltimore Sun.

The expectation of gold under exist.

to reflect that the present shipments

Silver Standard a Drawback.
Much wants more and loses all.

M. Leroy -Bcaulieu, the French econ
omist, writing to the Journal des De-

of the gold standard to be complete
refutation Of the bimetallic theory that
deprecated monetary standard gives
a country an advantage III international

Something should be done to place
