The option, known aa the bimetallic option, is with the goeeraaaaat and the people to list either of the two inetals in the discharge of their obligations. If the government i paying its foltiiers, its employes, its numerou officials or other obligations, under bimetallism, it has the ripl.t to pay in money made from either metal. If th! people are pay ing their taxes to city, state or nation, purchasing postage stamps, or discharging their obligations to i ach other, under bimetallism they bae the right to pay in money mod" fro.n either of the two inetals. It Ikua places the two metala in com

The na! reason for postponement ' however, that public sentiment is deidedlj aga i -t the pN.ns of tke president and the seeretarv Of tbe treasury, ami indorse the view, of the comptroller, in -o far . -is ,( opposes the enlarging of Ihe t iir'vts ai d priv ::.gt-s of the Mtional banks. Tin n. again, the administration is driven to admit that the election of I UM not only ..! not settle th'- stiver iti'st:ot.. in. 1 made it more determiaed thnn i vi r to keepon battling. The people realize that the eoloales will have to adopi oar monetary system, which will necessitate considerable expansion of the co;.r try's circulating money medium. It fs estimated that nearly, if not fpiite. 90 per
cent, oi tin- buss n ess of thi country is on the credit sy stein. , It is concluded by all except tliegoid
standard toiloariag that a larger per aapita circulation la needed in our do
mestic commerce, and public sentiment
does not favor conferring tin- right to
regulate the volume of money on the banks. Nordoes the public favor a national greenback currency with re
demptlon metals. The eeasearacaee atf
the dmaauid of the colonies for our money is that a great many who have hith Ho doubted the propriety of opening the mints to silver now admit that there is no oth r way to prov ide redemption money to meet the enlarged requirement s. Hence it is that the acquisition of outside territory has materially strengthened the cause of Iver. so much so. indeed, that the free arid unlimited coinage of silver is likely to le more prominent In I WO than it was in ls'.tf,. Doubtless all this ban much, if not rll. to do with the plan of the administration ta N-t all kinds of monetary legislation go by default un

After our ucces.fu! war against Chics. Japan was very prosperous, and 1 fear that these two causes made onr piople get what you call the "big head." or "swell head" We were too anxious for vves-tern etrtümtiOB, ji.d imitated whatever we heard of. without stopping to inquire whether it was good or bad. Thus we tcoK the gold standard, with some other things that are equally bad for a people like ours. Tbc Japan-s? arc a people accustomed to the use of silver and BOBpte as a circulating medium. Very few of the comp on people bave ever seen . piece of gold money, tiold does not circulate, not even since it has btcom our stand a d, and now our people are forced to use their dcpreciatd silver in all tieir business transactions. You in America can hard y appreciate w hat a hardship thia is. for in your country the peopV fire not vt rv ioor. as thev are here.

much as it did formerly or. if you please, it takes twice ns much labor
With little knowl ; ot produce to bring the same value

We have no very accurate statements tf the money in circulation, because until recently tfce government paid but little attention to such matters. Hut the latest repert stimates that ae have in circulation gold coins to the stent of .'..tsdOiXi yen and of silver Oniaa Bf. 610.006 J en.

Witii the option with the people to
use money made from . ither of the two metals they controlled the demand and placed that demand on the ore that was the most accessibh IfatTci rgrew cheaper they akifted Lbs demand to it iiul took the denial i iivvav from gold; in i.ee. silver rose in Commercial value and gold declined. If gold came to be the cheaper they, the people, used Tt thus shifting tbe demand lo gold and takil .: ;t away from silver. And. it whs the deasBnd thus controlled by the people, as SUCk and as a government, tbat , practically n alntained till IOBIIBIIuIbI parity of the two metals for all time trior to 1873. Following the act of 1;:; the option was given to tbe creditor to demand dtker of the two inetals just the re- i reraC'of bimetallism, and ihe result is that the creditor dimamls the dearer ot , the two metals and the dearer it gets the more apt he is todemnnd it. Under bimetallism, the use of two metals, t lie people could be depended upon, natur
ally, to shift the demand automatically to the cheaper of the two metals when cither was cheaper than the other. Taking the -Jemand away from the dearer brought it down in value, and placing it on the cheaper brought the latter up in value thus the commercial value of the two was maintained at a parity. The fleet w as to give practically the volume of the two metals to our t rick of metallic currency; and furnished the basis for tin equally enlarged volume of juiper money under a redemption monetary system. The theory of ibeopen mints to coin all that came of either metal nan to let the snpply reach the people. Close the
mints to eitlier and yon shut off the supply tod force the use of the other.
The open mints to the two metab gave
thesnpply andthe people controlled the demand. If silver rose in value it
shununi the mints and was shipped
abroad lo pay debts as it was for a time prior to 1ST.T or in exchange for gold, and the latter was added to the domestic supply that went to the mint6. and vice versa. Neither could rise in value and extort tribute from the people so long as the other was in competition with it open mints and option with the people. The cvemment bought neither metal. The mints were open to coin all that came of either metal, and to give back the coins to those who hsd brought the bullion. It wascoinetl free because it was statesmanship for the
government la facilitate and provide
I way for money, one of the principal functions of society. Himetallisin. therefore, consists of open mints and
option with the people to use either.
Cnder bimetallism there is no auch thing a gold contracts, it is "coin"
oan tracts.
The nason why the demand, shifted
from o it metal to the other as exerted
bf S nation like the Cnited States, will
maintain tke commercial parity of the two Metala, is liecause of the world's limited supply of the two metals. All
the gold in ihe world, at the present tesne. av i aid. for money, vv 111 go in the
cube of 22 feet; all the silver in the
cube of MJ feet. All the cold in the
Cnited State will go in an average size
bedroom; nil the silver in almost any
farmer barn. W It MA It VKY.
