WHAT TRUE pIMETALLlsM IS.
Defined by Men Of sound Money
Sense.

Ex-senator Edmunds told the COM
mittee on banking and currency a few
days ago what he and other sound
money men mean when they speak OF
bmetallism.
He stated that the monetary commits
sion, OF which he is the chairman. felt
that gold was the best standard that
could be adopted, but the adoption OF
that standard
did not exclude the idea OF bImetanism.
for II did not exclude the use OF silver or
any other metal 20 the largest extent that
they could be maintained on an equality
with the one fixed and invariable standard
OF gold"
This is an accurate description Of the
''international bimetallism" which the
,ational republican platform Of 1896
pledged that party TO promote 'bi-
metallism" which Is not inconsistent
with the maintenance Of "all our money,
whether coin or. paper, al the present
(gold) standard. the standard Of the
most enlightened nations OF the earth"
II is true that that was not the obi
metallism" Senator Wolcott and his col
leagues asked for. They spoiled what
ever chances OF success they had when
they went abroad last year by talking
sixteen 10 one" 10 men who compre-
bend fully the impossibility Of that ra-
ito. II was an insult 10 the intelligence
OF the statesmen and business men Of
Europe 20 speak 10 them of an increased
use OF silver on those terms.
What foreign nations may be willing
-. Il. r 81 4 4 .
OF its commercial ratio nobody knows,
for nobody has ever asked them. SEN
ntor Wolcott should have put the ques-
tion. but he did not If he goes abroad
again he should not be as forgetful MS
he was the first time.
Genuine bimetallism, MS defined by
ex-senator Edmunds. differs from the
sham 'blmetallism" Of Bryan in that
the former contemplates the largest
possible use Of silver consistent with
maintenance Of the worlds gold stand
ard OF money, and the latter contem-
plates the abandonment OF the gold
standard and the exclusive use Of silver
as hard money.
The United States has the geld stand
ard. II has In use $500. 600, COO OF silver,
which Is maintained on IN equality with
gold, though worth commercially only
40 per cent. OF It's face value. Thus this
country uses both gold and silver. But
Bryan's free coinage scheme would
drive all the gold out of circulation,
would reduce the purchasing power OF
the silver In use 60 per cent. and make
this monometallic silver standard
country instead Of gold standard biz
metallic country.-Chicaoo Tribune.

MEANING OF rHEoHlo CONTEST.
Must nc Regarded rs n victory for
sound Money.

SOund money.
The success Of the efforts OF those re-
publicans in Ohio who have been work
ing TO compass the defeat OF Mark
Hanna for the senatorship would have
produced a lamcntable effect upon tie
republican party everywhere and
would have excited the deepest enthu-
siasm in the free silver party through
out the country.
The extent TO which this question en-
tered into the contest appears TO be
little understood in the east. but If the
plans of the opposition had prevailed,
the country would not have remained
long In doubt ms TO what il meant.
As it Is. the struggle has signifl-
canoe which should not be overlooked.
IL should impress anti-silver voters
throughout the country with the fact
that the followers OF Mr.. Bryan are
widc-awake and more resolved on vic
tory than ever before. They have en-
deayored 10 capture the United States
senatorship in the state OF the prcsi-
dent of the United States, who carried
II less than two years ago by over
10000 plurality. II may be taken for
granted that they will go into every
congressional district in the north and
east where they have chance TO win
and will wage desperate battle.
They are very confident. Already
they arc boasting that the next house
Of representatives will contain ma
iority in favor Of the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver. short time ago IL
was said that the leaders OF the party
would endeavor 10 disguise their de-
signs MS far MS silver Is concerned, con-
tenting themselves with preaching the
doctrine contained In the rest OF the
Chicago platform.
But the Ohio senatorship has forced
their hnnds-possibly they make tho
exposure willingly. At all events, IL
must be obvious even 80 those who have
been trying 20 convince themselves TINT
the silver question Is dead, that il Is
very much alive, and Is going TO play
a prominent part in the congressional
elections this year.
This, then, is the meaning Of the
strenuous effort which has been made
10 defeat Mark Hanna. The cry that
he was nm "intolcrant boss" was mere
~ n blind. lie may have excited the
ire OF many men. but the main objec-
tion 60 him was that he represented
the sound money cnusc. and his defeat
would be n pronounced and brilliant
victory for free silver.-Albany Jour

Uncle Jake lives in Florida, weighs

The other day he went down to the

after batting his hook and dropping

his back against the railing and went

Two ladies in n Nebraska town were
talking recently about the character
istics Of Mr.. Bryan. One was Baptist
and the other Presbyterian. The lady
who was n Baptist remarked that Mr..
Bryan. who was a Presbyterian, had
serious thoughts OF joining the Baptist
church. The other lady looked at her
incredulously. and after awhile re-
markcd:
"Oh. no, he won't"
"Why not?"

he's afraid 10 get out OF sight Of the
people that long."-Nebraska State
