As near as possible we wlll inform him oí tlie difierence as we view it. Fr.?c silrer, at a ratio of 16 to 1, would débase the currency oif the eountry, gold would immediately go to a premium and disappear, and we would have silver monometa]im, for si'.vrr alone would be the circulatiiij; medium. P.knetalism means the use of both gold ana silver, mot only aS money metáis, but as maney in actual circulatlon amooig the people. The Courier íjs a believer in bimetalisra and stands fairly and squarely upon this plank in theSt. Xouis platform : "We are therefore opposed to the free coinaige of silver, exceptby international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, whicn we pledge ourselves to promotie." The Courier will go a step further, and eay that it is'not oppoeed to the free coinaige oí sidver at lts actual ratio, though such a law might be t.roublctome from the fact that silver is fluctuating in value, and the' coin of to-day might go toa premium tomorrow. or vice versa. By international agreement, no matter what the value o? silver bullion would be, silver coin ■would pass for its face value. A stable eurreincy is what the commercial tiations of thO world need, and the sooner they get together and agree upon it, the better for all. A currency that can be made use of by boards of trade or gamblers or stook brokers is not safe for any nation. Is it clear ? The old story of Prometheus is a parable. Prometheus was on terms of intimacy with the gods. From r them he stole ftre and gave it to man. For this sin. h was bound to the rocks of Movnt Caucassus, and vultures were set upon htm. They onily ate liver. This grew again as fast as it was peoked away. Are his sufferings to be imagined ? Take a modern interpretation of the parable. There is no cooking without fire. In cooking and eating the mischief lies. The stomach ia overtasked, the bowelis become clogged, they cannot dfepoee of the food that is given them. The impurities bark up on the liver. Then come the vultures - the torments of a dteeased liver. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is more tham equal to the vultures of dyspepsta and its kindres diseases. Thëre is no more need oí sufferin); from dyspepsia than there is of hanfrinij onc's scV. K'Old by all . medicine dealers the world over.
