Show XO COMPROMISE From remarks made by Secretary Carlisle in New York the other day the goldite Democrats of that city have concluded that there is danger that the silver forces will capture the Chicago convention This seems to be Mr Whitneys view and he would gladly bring about a compromise if It were practicable upon the basis of trying to secure an international agreement in favor of bimetallism But it is said that he doubts if such a compromise can be effected It would seem that New Yorkers expect the silver forces to capture the Chicago convention and thereby drive out the goldites whereas exactly the opposite result will in their opinion be reached in the Republican Re-publican convention This may cause the goldstandard Democrats to sup pont the Republican ticket But about it all there is a good deal of guesswork guess-work It merely serves to show what New York Democrats are thinking about We quote the above from the Denver Den-ver Republican In order that we may call attention to the constantly growing grow-ing opinion that the prosilver men in the Democratic party can carry the national convention for a straight declaration de-claration in favor of the free coinage of both silver and gold and also to point out the dangers that stand in the way of the achievement of that result Those dangers are In compromises that will be proposed There will be in 1I 1 I that convention men who will profess firm conviction in bimetalllsm but who at the same time will insist that they cannot consent to the opening of the mints to free and unlimited coinage coin-age of silver as that would result in silver monometallism that the only way to have real bimetalllsm is > to have gold the standard with the Privilege privi-lege of free and unlimited coinage of it but only limited coinage of silver from time to time limited legal tender quality assigned to it and kept in such subordinate relations and quantity coined coin-ed to gold as will enable both metals to circulate side by sidesuch will be one view of bimetallism and one ground of compromise offered And there will be the compromise of international agreement ithe Whitney compromise Recently in a letter now going the rounds of the press Mr Whitney hH rlln1nl + 1 1H > = 11 = 1 < 1 f < 1U1UUI > LV for the presidency took occasion to say that he was a believer in gold and silver as the metallic basis of values and of the worlds currency I am confident said he that within with-in a time not far distant there will be a concurrence of the nations upon that subjeot by which the ratios of value of the two metals for coinage and currency cur-rency purposes will be fixed and the stability of such values maintained by an international agreement This hope of speedy international agreement will be held out to the pro silver Democrats as the ground of compromise and every effort made to force it upon the convention bust the earnest friends of silver will best show their wisdom by rejecting not only this but all other propositions of compromise Blmetalllsts who would subordinate silver to gold in limiting its coinage and legal tender quality are simply not bImetallists bimetallists bimetal-lists who insist that we shall wait for cooperation of European nations are simply doomsday bimetallists The way to secure the cooperation of the oldworld nations is to proceed upon our own responsibility to the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and sLIver with unlimited legal tender quality conferred on each and when the nations of Europe wake up to the fact that the United States have solved the money problem for themselves they will quickly enough fall Into line and international agreement can be trusted to take care of itself Democrats Demo-crats want to fix it in their minds that the time for solving the money problem prob-lem has come Nothing can be gained by postponement or compromise The time is ripe for straight out and outwork out-work that knows no compromise that will consent to no dodging that will wait for the action of no other nation on earth and the time and place for i i the inarguration of that struggle the I beginning of the endwhich shall result re-sult in restoring to the people the I money of the constitution is In the month of July < in ithe year of grace 1S96 at the Democratic national convention con-vention in the city of Chicago |
