the United States would be forced TO discharge by specie

theory that the monster sub-treasury' would drain
the life. blood from them and destroy them. Facts are
stubborn things and we recommend those furnished by
our correspondent to the serious attention OF any of
readers who are not yet convinced that the policy OF the
democratic party is sound in practice well theory
The independent treasury, the bill of 1916, and
