Show LET THEM MAKE A CURRENCY LAW. There isn't any benefit in Republican senators senat-ors and congressmen lighting the Democratic currency plan. The host plan possible may not rosult from tho work of the present session, but there is little doubt it will be an improvement On present conditions. And because wo Republicans Republi-cans hao not done our duty in the matter we will have to take whatever medicine tho doctor may happen to prescribe. No good excuse can be given for the jumble of laws under which Ihe American peoplo have been managing their money mailers m tho past. And the half century under Republican control is far loo long a time for imy fair apology to bo mado now. Very likely the Democratic plan now under discussion is not perfect. It may have somo vory serious dofocts. But wo refused lo adopt a belter when we had the chance. And this proposed plan is a vast improvement on oxisting conditions. Lot it go lo enactment with the least possible pos-sible loss of limo. Prosont opposition will do tho country more harm than any suggested amendment will do good. Pass tho law, and then amend il where experience proves it weak. But pass tho lawl That is good statesmanship, and it isn't bad politics. |
