word "coin" meant money was soon ar
rived at. This Interpretation was soon
followed with enactments OF congress
authorizing the issue OF $50, 900, 900 treas
ury notes, not bearing interest, and pay
able for all debts public and private.
Notwithstanding that subsequent issues
OF treasury notes were deprecated 10y the

the government refused to take them for
duties on imports or use them in the pay

WAS those same treasury notes, known n

owned and paid the men, PIT nearly t

THE REFERENDUM.

Notwithstanding the fact that a large
majority of the nations OF the world have
demonetized silver and adopted the gold
standard, yet not one has done 80 by the
consent of maj )rity OF it's people. 1t is
extremely doubtful whether it ever would
have been done By any nation if left to
the whole people, freed from all undue
influence and partisan prejudices. In
the United States it is fact beyond con-
troversy.
II nothing intervenes to prevent the
current of events, in 1900 the popular
will of the people of the United States
will be expressed on that question at the
ballot box. Not as it should be, shorn of
all partisanship under the true system of
the referendum, by being placed upon
every ticket, thus: "For Bmetallism !;
Against Bimetallism ;" 80 that each voter
might express his individual preference,
but by being made the leading issue in
choosing president and congress.
While it is true that in such contest the
real issue will be clouded by partisan
prejudice and other questions of national
policy, yet even in that unsatisfactory
shape the bimetallists, after waiting more
than quarter OF century, gladly well
come the contest.
