What Bimetallists Demand.

Upon April 2, 1792, George Washington, president of the United States, sigped the bill for the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 15 to 1. This law continued in force, unchanged (except • that in 1883 with the signature of Andrew Jackson, president, the ratio was altered to 10 to 1) until 1873, when it was stealthily repealed. It is the law of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Adams and Madison, with the ratio of Jackson, that bimetallists now demand. They ask no change. They have never desired more, and will accept nothing less. —Denver News.
