Yer question:
Inc convention believes that the expert
ment OF coming sllver dollars IN the hope ci
maintaining liked ratio with gold has
gone 1ar enough and cannot be continued
farther without great danger to the business
interests of the country. The loss

than sl5j, OOU, OOO, with every pro pect ui t

VIII welcome any practical measure @,
agreement with other nations by which the
ratio o, value between gold AMI silver may
