The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1898-02-10

The Birmingham News heartily COM
mends a recent editorial in The Times,
in which we belabored the political
dodgers. The dodgers on the one hand
who fear 70 say that the gold standard
prevails in this country; the dodgers on
the other hand who will not say that they
are in favor of silver monometallism, the
inevitable result Of free coinage, but pirate
always of bimetallism, which everybody
knows is an impossibility under free
coinage says our Birmingham contem-
porary:
To practical, honest business men, who
desire TO see the money question settled
once and forever, this sort of trimming
and lodging is disgusting. The matter
must be met face to face and the sooner
the better. The Times sums up the sit
uation when it says: "The question Is
whether our financial system shall rest
upon q gold basis or a. single silver basis.
Whether we shall have the gold standard
or the silver standard. There can be no
such thing as double standard and every
contention to that effect is absurd"
When one looks over the field of poll
ties and Witnesses the movements OF the
life. his admiration for the sublime cohr-
age and rugged honesty Of Grover Cleve-
land Increases. He was no trimmer.
There was never any doubt as 10 where
ne stood. He disguised nothing. Never
can it be charged that he made an effort
20 humbug the people by tie use Of diplo-
matte language or the practice of du-
bious methods. And it is becoming more
evident day by day that for sound judg-
4 .aHaNaaa D. 10
integrity he has had few equals in
American public liie
But we have lately discovered an hon
orable exception among the advocates of
free silver Editor Knowles Of the Rome
(Ga.) Tribune. has recently returned from
a trip TO Mexico, and in writing Of his
observations he says: 1.-THE silver stand
ard has done much for Mexico" and
again. "The silver standard has added to
the interest Of industrial development
in Mexico"
That is truly refreshing. Here is one
man. at least, who does not dodge who is
not afraid to can things by their right
name. The silver standard does prevail in
Mexico as result of free coinage. There
IS no such thing as bimetallism In that
country. 1t is silver monometallism, and
It would be the same thing in this coun-
try under the free coinage OF silver. Why
dodge the fact? Some of the dodgers talk
OF international bimetallism." which
The Times has ever proclaimed TO be
humbug, and many Of the free coincrs
are now thoroughly in accord with The
Times on that point, at least. But they
continue to talk of bimetallism for the
United States. independently Of all other
nations. We tell them that that also
is a delusion and a humcug. 1t iss an
impossibility under free coinage at 16 to
!. j must be the gold standard or the
silver standard. Mexico has free coinage
and it has the silver standard. as the
Georgia editor frankly confesses.
