The Double Standard.
In the arena Of financial discus
sion the great voice of Blaine never
sounded in advocacy OF single
standard. His maseriul influence
was ever asserted for bimetallism.
10 his day and under his influence
R publican platforms said what
they meant and meant what they
said. In 1892 the Republican plat
form declared: "The American
people, from tradition and interest,
favor bimetallism and the Republic
an party demands the use OF both
gold and silver as standard money,
eto." After the mighty Blaine was
laid to rest and 10 less than eight
years after that declaration, tho Re-
publican party enacted the single
gold standard bill and relegated
silver from standard to token
money, This reduced the standard
redemption money to per capita
circulation of about SO. The same
act increased the governments in
terest- bearing debt to an amount
equal to the sum of all our coined
silver, plus the whole volume OF
greenbacks, plus The whole volume
OF treasury notee, or to the extent
OF near one billion dollars. The
same act surrendered government
function and government duty to
the mercy or tyranny, as the case
may be, OF gigantic banking trust
whose power will exceed that OF the
government itself and whose infu-
ence will be used to corrupt or
coerce any national administration.
All this the Republican party has
done in face of the fact that in over
half OF the states four years ago it
made its campaign on the pretense
OF allegiance to bimetallism. Bryan
has stood and stands to-day the
foremost champion OF bimetallsm.
This is another reason why we look
to him and to the forces allied with
him to undo the monstrous wrong.
Blaine's active Influence in favor OF
the fifteenth amendment to the con-
stitution is guarantee to us that,
were he alive, he would not coun-
tenance colonial system. For
Blaine was consistent. Enfrauchise-
ment and full freedom to an eman.
cipated race on our own continent
would not be consistent with sub
jects at home or abroad denied full
citizenship. On the other hand we
do not believe he would faint our
civilization and citizenship with
such base alloy as would be implied
by any attempt to amalgamate into
our government ten millions of
semi heather orientals having evory
right vouchsafed TO us.
