next session OF Congress and he had no
doubt the Republican party would adopt
tho bill and pass It through Congress.
MIR. Burrows did not say what the
terms and conditions OF this bill are to
be. but from other and perfectly trust
worthy sources we learn that IT will
place the government fatty and uncon-
dtionally upon the gold dollar as our
standard Of value but will do nothing OF
any moment in tho direction OF dealing
with paper currency conditions. THIS is
well az FAR as Il goes. though 1t OF course.
does not 20 far enough to accomplish
anything practical.
10 IS Of but small present moment for
Congress 20 pass an act declaring that
the gold dollar IS and shall remain our
standard OF value because We are, and
for many years have BEEN upon the gold
standard basis and this will be nothing
but legislative declaration OF what has
long been an open notorious fact known
OF an men.
such q law might have its uses In
future emergency, but st would not reach
fne seat OF our currency disease. That
lies in the fact that our present none
,tary system confines paper currency to
the commercial centres and leaves the
country people bare Of any media OF ex-
change a law must be framed that will
secure currency 10 the country people
before the prevailing discomfort is al
layed. Such law can easily be framed
without any danger Of having our State
