MCKINLEY is STILL BlUFFiNG

Senator Chandler declares that
President Mckinley is as earnestly
in favor of bimetallism as he hin1st If
is. How earnestly that is the people
can Judge from the following stale
ment by Chandler:
The President stands firmly in
promised by the ST. Louis platform.
He considers the negotiations with
the European Powers only temporar-
lily suspended or account OF the
peculiar conditions of affairs in India.
and it is the President intention to
again send ENJOYS to Europe as 500
as the conditions are favorable for
continuing negotiations.
International bimetallism by con-
cert of the Nations is an ~utopian
dream. So long as English and
German gold bugs are the creditor. of
other countries, Sc long will England
and Germany refuse to accord Silver
her rights, and thus break the IN
famous chains which keep other Ma
tons and other people l Il slavery to
the English and German Shylocks.
No man knows this better than
President VIM. Mckinley No man
is more kneely alive to the fact that
the only way to force bi1netallism IS
for the United States to adopt It.
Then other Nations would have to
follow in financial self d~eteuse.
To send another batch of envoys to
Europe to negotiate for international
bimetallism is folly. and Mckinley
thoroughly appreciates that TACT.
More thar that: If Mckinley en-
tertalned the slightest suspicion that
a Commission sent for that purpose
could accomplish anything, that
Commission would never be APP
pointed. For the powers which con-
troll Mckinley are bitterly opposed
to bimetallisIn. The gold standard
is the International shell game at
which they grow immensely wealthy,
while the plucked fools are yearly
getting more and more in debt
