Pi. lidelit Cleveland sought to Lave t-ongie-s authorize a gold loan in l-'U und thus pave ihe way to making all of the government obligations payable in gold, but COngrCM refused. It will be rcinembe-red that the Morgan syndicate nasde a speciae offer let gold bonds, tendering 110000,000. additional for bonds to be made payable in gold iu excess of the amount offered lor the eoin bond.- that were- issued that year. The legislation sought will be worth hundreds of millions to the holders of American securities und will IncrOBM the bardenn of the Anterienn people on the pubUe and private bsdebtcdncM against them to the amount of billions

of dollars. This step is deemed necessary by the gold combination at this time bi eau-e they f. ar the triumph of the democratic party in WOO. The gold combination have down to the present time failed to secure affimative legislation In behalf of the gold standard in the United States. They secured the pusaag of a law in 1S73 omitting the silve r dollar from our list of coins, cunningly substituting a trade dollar so that the te rm dollar would still appear in the list and escape the scrutiny of an unsuspecting congress. Since then they have been able to prevent the complete remouetizntion of nlver in the passage of the Bfct ad act and the M.erman BCt and finally to secure the repeal of ull laws prov ieling for an increase- of money through the coinage ot silve r. Put all tin- silver dollars that arc in existence are lawful money to pay Off the obligations of the goaamnn at in all forms whatever, whether in bunds, greenbacks or treasury BOtCB. i'urtbe r than this many of the most eminent lawyers in tin- Cuited States contend that Ihe

J presielent has the authority under the Blnnd net to open the mints to silver fipiaily with gold, that that law restores the law of l-. T. Therefore- it is that being longer unable to i OUtTOl the national conventions of both political parties, end nomlnnti for tin- presidency candidates pledged to the- gedd standard, that the gold combination is determined to insist upon the re publican party enacting nHirniat ive lcgisiai Baa during the coming congress to e stablish the gold standard. Accompanying such a measure, they propose to I provide for the retiiuuu atoeTthegreeni backs and treasury notes, and turn the

J-sue of all paper money over lo the banks. This measure is revolutionary in its character and its consequences will le far reaching. Many republican politicians fear the result upon t be i r party of the legi-latum that is now Imperatively dene ad ! cd of them. They would much prefer to let matters drift until after another election, 'l in y fear to expose the party to the retribution that is sure to follow such a breach of faith with the people, nnd they are- also desirous of keeping the banks and cre ditor interests in a position where tin y will be obliged to Continue their liberal contributions to future republican campaign funds. The insiste nt demand for aflinnat iv e legislation by the gold trust cannot, howe ver, be longer disregarded and an utti mpt will be made to enact the legislations demanded by them during the next congress. Although the republla ans have a majority in both brancheaof concrcsa.

Put it will be observed that these "gohbte bimetallista" do not object at all to 1he 'unlimited" coinage of gold. No matter how much is produced, no matte r w bat cpuantity is in eight tin "more the merrier" is their doctrine. And it is a good doctrine, too. Put it should lie applied to silver cipially with gold, iu order to secure genuine bimetallism. Tin person who favors the unlimited" coinage of gold and the "United" eUettV age of silver is not a biinetallist. There i an be no true bimetallism with free coinage of one metal and a limited coinage of the other. The word bimetallism as used by monetary writers means exactly the same as the double standard. That is it means ;, iiioiuy standard consisting of two metals, uscel at a certain ratio to each other, both freely coined, and eacb full legal tender after it is coim d. In his testi

Suppose thUt gold should go to a premium in ease of the restoration of silver to free eoiaaga at tbe mints at the existing ratio. While this is not by any means a result that will be eBs eeded. it would simply mean a pnmiiini over silver. Gold coubl be bought with products more easily than now by one who had gold debts to pay . for its command over these would, it is conceded, be greatly lessened if this great nation should shift its money demand from gold to silver. In fact, this is what ails the whole goldbug fj array. They realize the gabJ ring would lc broken when Inele Sam takes a hand iu smashing it. Kemember that gold at a premium would then mean it was really at a discount with its present intlatnl value. It would still form the- bulk of our bank n rvi -, liberating that much other money. But the wisest beads everywhere believe that a country doing one-fourth of the world's bUUhMM eould. by open mints, exercise the same dominating, equalizing, ste ady ingr in-tlue-nce-on tbe relative value of both mi tals that France did for 7) years During all this time she coined them at a ratio of BftCCB and one-half to one. kepi both in c'.re-ulaton within her leorder.-, and at a substantal parity the world over. Somi t imes one. and sometines the other, would dominate in her Currency. I'p to the gold discoveries she absorlsd more silver thaB gold, and c;aviv off more gold. 1-itcr she took in more gold, and gave off more silver to India. Put all the time she coined both and kept both in her eirculatkan. This is admitted by every latelligeat man. What she did casi.y then we can surely elo now. 1'or we can now furnish a much greater relative demand for money ns compared with tbe rest of the world than she did then. Pesktea, the world is only too willing to follow our le-ad in maintaining the party of the metals and stable prices. Illinois State Hcgister. i., .i.iii. BaitetttBSle. If our goldite friends nre so deBO sure that they have got conu'ress 1 ed so that no fru- silve r legiatetkM can possibly be enacted during ÜM life of the next ad te i ni-1 rat ion. what need have they to worry over the certain! v that the ib ir.oor its will adopt a bimetallic plunk in 1 900?

if this blessed assurance is so lively as they claim, why should any democrat tincture-el tvitb golditeism hesitate to help his patty Into power. m matter how ra. lieally bimetallic the nominee of his party may be on the money question? lie or his hime-taltie platform can't do nny harm from the- goldite standpoint.
