Concessions That Do Not Concede.

It is a pure hallucination to suppose that a gold-bug concession of a few millions of silver bullion purchased, whether coined or not, is a bimetallist, victory. It is another hallucination to suppose that a particular ratio is a thing to stand by at an imminent risk of defeat If any ratio can be carried through it will be free coinage and a bimetallic standard. If a measure looking toward free coinage at a fair ratio cannot be carried, a fight for “concessions” is a fight for a special interest and not for the money of the people. The Republic holds to the bimetallic principle, and cannot discover either finance or fun in killing time in the senate to force “concessions” which do not concede.—St Louis Republic.
