mon class Of men. He would assai no ones mo-
tives neither would he waste time in defending his
own He would endeavor TO answer the prominent
objections made to this bill and give some OF the
reasons why he gave It bis support Hc would speak
plainly, and he feared he would be dull as ppessem,
for be had NO ambition to make grest speech on this
subject He argued that silver and gold had boon the
metallic money OF the world for thousands of
years. They were also the money OF the con-
stitution They were the metallic money Of
tho colonies, ana afterward OF tho United states,
from tho declaration OF independence until silver
was dcmonctized by mistake, and without knowledge
OF tho people Congress- by the enactment Of the Re-
vised Statutes In 1874 Both metals suited to per.
form the functions Of money, and silver does perform
that function among a large majority OF tho human
