The Honest Dollar.

The only way to settle tho silver question is to put 100 cents worth of silver in the dollar.—Kansas City (Kan.) Gazette. A better way would be to put sufficient gold with the silver to make 100 cents’ worth of the combined metals in a dollar. The coin would then be much more portable than if composed exclusively of silver, and would be an honest dollar.—Lawrence Record. A better way still would be to stop this senseless gold-bug twaddle about the “dishonest dollar,” the maintenance of the parity of the metals by continued gold payments, and simply atone, so far as is now possible, for the crime pf 1878 by placing the two metals on an equality before the law. This done, the dollars will take care of themselves.—Advocate.
