Is the State only to meddle with the question in the interests of gold, and then stand magnifi- cently aloof, saying : Let me mind my own business : let things manage themselves ? Fancy the howl that would go up to heaven if some one proposed to demonetise gold, 72 The Corner in Gold. and substitute diamonds ! We should not hear much more of the natural value of silver and gold. Yet what greater right had the statesmen who demonetised silver ? And yet the Bimetallists are called hard names ; an...d it is much, if people do not wink and significantly tap their foreheads when a Bi- metallist comes in to the room. But the gold holders ah ! they are on the right side of the door. Possession is nine points of the law. Bimetallists, it is true, have per- mission to speak : at least, speech is silver : but silence, Meg, silence is gold. They talk a good deal nowadays, Meg, about methods of discovering truth.
