added to our currea cy, with purchss-
ing pewer of20 per snt. added to the
whole of our outstan ding currency.
So long as there is pre-, MUM on gold,
and the country refuses IT, buy and sell
on the sCalifornia PLAN OF making
gold the standard for all prices. and
qaosing greenbscks at disco, mt then
the greater our stock of gold in this
