The London Papers Think Both Pattie:
Are Making Adrolt straddles.
LONDON, May 31.—The Times com
ments editorially upon the political anc‘
currency outlook in the United States.
saying: “All our information about thl
electoral campaign in America goes tr
show that'bgth parties are doing their besl
to maintaiman attitude of adroit strad'
dllng. ”
Proceeding to deal with the silver ques-
tion in its relation to the political strug-
gle, The Times continues:
"Amid all the juggling of phrases anc‘
apparent exigencies, confusion of term:
and ideas demanded, it is pretty clear tha‘.
the fundamental conception of sounc
money is very firmly grasped—namely, the.
one dollar has to be made and kept as gooc
as every other dollar, no matter whal
theories go to the wall. .
“The real strength of the bimetalllsl
agitation everywhere comes from the peo
ple hoping to pay a dollar of debt with less
than a dollar. Senator Sherman geti
down to the bedrock when he indicates
the wage earner’s interest in the question.
Thefine talk about raising prices will soon
be estimated at its proper value when it
comes to adjusting the bimetalllsts’ de
mum] to get a shilling for Sixpence with
the determination of the wage earners tr
have a shilling for a shilling.
“We can only hope that the Unionist
government, which will replace the present
government, will display. the same firrr
adhesion to sound principles as Sir Wil-
liam Harcourt has displayed. Hon. A. J.
Balfour advocates his views with needless
heat, and although he assures us that he
only speaks for himself he thereby ember
rasses his party.”
The Post also devotes some attention t:
the discussion of the currency question go-
ing on in the United States. In an edi-
torial it says:
“Senator Sherman’s speech before tht
Ohio Republican convention is the mosl
important statement that any Republican
leader has made on the subject of the cure
rancy since the last presidential election.
The significant part of the speech is its
unequivocal declaration against the dou-
ble standard. .
“The growth of the bimetallist agita-
tion in Europe has not escaped notice in
America, but it appears that the American
public has had too long an experience or
the wbject to attach much importance tc
these doubtful victories.”
