and points out tlm dingers of a inaction!
sllvel mouo-inctallisui through the tin ow

It calls attention to the dlllleultbs and de
lays which would ntlilid Ihe negotl itlon of
an liiteruatlouil compact and tiuestlous tho
succvsslul maintenance of a parity ot gold

cially In tlow of tho threatened illttnlegra

puses: "That ull existing coinage laws be

"The coin would be absolute stable value

As to the imcstlon whether tho proposed

Tribune icplles: "It would not be neces

could be piocured, which would bo Just as
available. If, at any time, It became neces
saty to separate, the gold from the sliver,
It could be done at the United States mint
at a cost of less than I per cent. This very
