"Heads I Win, Tails You Lose."

Chicago Sentinel: That is about the status of the currency question at the present time. 'I he people demand currency reform, the administration says “let's throw up for it;" the banker says, “i'll flip the copper (through congress, which 1 control)—heads I win, tails you lose. If we have any change in the currency It shall be u substitution of bank paper for greenbacks. If we have no change we will go on forcing bond issues until the basis for natiouiil banking is more firmly established than ever. Either wav suits me." The b nicer always manages to be suited. He was satisfied with Cleveland’s wleciion, hut Harrison would have suited him just as well. It don't matter to him whether the democrat or republican party is in power. jus’- so he ■•flips the copper*'— that is. controls the party which controls legislation. It is about time Uncle Sam flips the copper and turns Hie tables on ti e banker, saying to him: “Ilea Is, I win; tails, you lose.”
