Hont bimetallism has a real standing Protectionists generally have always e'rain Jo be bimetallism, and if tha sixteen United Btates senators and their lonowers nonestly stand for bimetallism, they are justified In making this demand upon the protectionist party. But the "man should be for a bimetallism that suaranteea me permanent use of both metals, not a scheme falsely named bl- metalllsm, which leads straight and m- I mediately to ths use of nn. metal nniv " ,n nKixt ' t0 between silver mono metallism and gold monometallism, the gold will surely win. If It is to b an honest light for bimetallism against monometallism of either metal, its suc cess Is assured. But to use the name of bimetallism to obtain the unconditional coinage of sllvir at W to 1 by the United States alone, la a fraud, and puts the whole movement beyond the pale: of serious consideration by honest states men or carful publicists. Honest bimetallism Is a feasible propo- f"uuu ronnuence or sny class, much less to be entrusted with the affairs of a great nation. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.
