will be passed. The West is almost
unit in favor of keeping silver jus
where it is. do not think the stand
ard will be raised, either. 1t is i'm
possible to fix the actual value in golt
of the silver dollor The value varie
with the price Of gold. One week 387
"a grains of silver would make tn,
dollar worth 100 cents, and the mex
week it would only be worth 90 cents
later it would go up again. If We tr,
to keep silver up to the gold standard
then we will have to change the siz,
of our silver dollars with every huctua
tion in the market. The South an,
West are for silver, while the East i
opposed to it. The people Of the Eas
are money-lenders and wish to make
scarce The Western people are Dor
overs and wish to see plenty of fmone
in the market. That's all there is to it.
