Must Never Be Surrendered.

Hamilton and Jefferson concurred in the wisdom and necessity of having a double’ standard, the purpose being to confer the option on the debtor to pay in either metal at his pleasure. Those great statesmen clearly foresaw the trouble and disaster that- a single standard would bring upon the- country. The retention of the option by the debtor to pay in either silver or gold is vitally important to the welfare of the whole American people, and’ must never be surrendered.: —Chicago Tribune, Jan. 14, 1878.

Senator Allison writes a friend .’n Washington that he fears Bryan will carry lowa. And well he may.
