MED being ali infationist in any sense OF
the word, but said, ON the other hand, he
was not a bullionist, and would agree will
nobody who describes and derides GU
present currency as rag money currency
He ascribed the apparent unpopularity o

! to its purposes and effects, but he predicted
a time when their reasons and their falls,
promises would be thoroughly understood
and the people would take the matte

whereby to achieve a stable, equitable anC
permanent financial oasis for the govern
