The bold front assumed by tho 16 to
1 advocates forced the issue of gold
versus a silver standard upon every citi
zen. The result lias been that the ad
vantages of gold and the disadvantages
of silver are now known everywhere.
To refute tho silverite arguments for
cheap dollars it was necessary to show
the superiority of gold. Tins was done
so thoroughly that there is no longer
any attempt to show that silver is (lie
bettor standard, and the only plea now
put forward by the free coinage leaders
is tbeir appeal to the men who want 50
cent dollars with which to pay off their
debts.
Every attack on the gold standard,
whether drawn from the experience of
this or of other countries, has complete
ly failed. The great, majority of the
people who previously held no decided
opinions on tho question have become
convinced that gold is better tliuu sil
ver, and they will vote down next year
any party or candidates who favor de
basing the currency. The boasted free
silver propaganda, which was started a
few years ago to convert the country,
has proved a great success. But it is a
success exactly the opposite of what tho
silver mine owners expected, for it has
made all those who were formerly iu
doubt or indifferent stanch defenders
of a sound currency bawd on gold.
