Demonetize It.

When Europe gets all our gold, the best thing to be done will be to demonetize it, just as Franco did some years ago. Let it go along with silver. What condition would that place England in? Their gold would not pay for our wheat, corn, beef or cotton. Greenbacks, the money despised by old plutocracy, would command a premium at once for the purchase of our products and the old world would have to buy them with a depreciated gold dollar in order to get the farm products they must have. Let us try giving the British lion’s tail a twist the other way. —Oberlin (Kan.) Herald.
