My fad—Bimetallism—along with such?
I seek a dual standard; gold alone
Is a most operant poison! What is here?
Gold? yellow, precious, glittering gold? No, gods,
I am no aureate votarist. Silver seems
To me, and to wise Walsh, a fair twin-standard
Fit to set up, that variable values
May find stability in dual change,
With a fixed ratio, which the world must find,
Or our one standard, like a pirate's flag,
