rnE GOLD cnAnpEns AGAIN.

Remarks the San Francisco Bulle-
tin:
I'VE doubt very much il Mr.. w. j.
Bryan, should he become Secretary
OF the Treasury, would exercise his
legal right to pay bonds in silver. He
would wait for Congress TO legislate
to restore TO silver the value it has
lost. But the enactment Of a law de-
claring gold the money in which all
obligations should be paid would re-
move the possibility that a future
Secretary OF the Treasury might ex.
ercisc the debtors option and pay
debts with silver
There is absolutely no just reason
why United States bonds should not
be paid III silver, provided there Le
plenty Of silver in the United States
Treasury with which to pay them.
And there is absolutely no reason
why those bonds should be be paid
in gold, il the United States has to
borrow gold on the outside at interest
in order to pay, while there is plenty
OF silver i'll the Treasury with which
to meet the demand.
Such tinancicring has eve been
done solely with the object IN view
of fastening the clutch OF the Gold
Ring tighter around the necks Of the
Nation and the people. There never
has been a declaration by Congress
that those bonds shall be paid in gold
coin. although nm attempt has IRE
quently been made 10 force such Il
law. And yet, Notwithstanding that
fact, tho Secretaries OF the Treasury
have ever given the pound OF flesh
and tie blood rs we'll to the Shylocks
in place Of looking ont for the rights
and the benefit of the people. OGly
once, we believe-and that WIS done
by Daniel Manning in the first term
of Grover Cleveland-was Wall Street
thwarted. When that power present
Ell a lot Of bonds, Manning tod the
syndicate that ii would have Ia take
silver or nothing. But neither Cieve-
land nor Manning lasted long on that
lay-thc Gold Ring soon had them
both.
\ declaration by Congress to the
effec; tlat the bonds shall be paid in
gold alone, would be a complete sur
render to the Gold Ring--a surrend-
er so shameless that Congress has
never yet dared to put it in cold type.

the sane surrender has been accom-
plished. in a roundabout way by var.
