He called them idiots they knew him
Ito be fossil, either unable 20 compre'
hend what II takes 10 constitute money
or knowing, he lacks the moral noness,
and courage 10 declare his convictions.
| If money consists Of gold alone: from
an innate principle inherent within i
Why does II f]ucluate 30 that st one time
lit requires more weight to . certain
amount than At another timer Ihs'
gold IL money BY its innate principle, o.
Il is money by virtue OF the law Of con-
lgress. WA.
Now, II Il IL money by It's inherent
nature, why docs Il require more weigh
,at one time than at anOtherv Or II y
money by act Of congress, wherein doei
liz differ from any other thing that con-
gressdeclares to be money?
| II the law makes even gold OF . cer'
tain weight to be called so:much, money
by the same authority so much silver, o.
80 much copper. or so much nickle, or
certain marked piece Of paper, can be de-
lclared 10 be so much money. for money
lonly consists OF the substance which the
law declares shall be called money, and
he a legal tender from one man 10 an
other.

grain aud other products Of our farms Ia
transport them to the seaboard; with a
steady contraction Of the circulation oI
money while interest and taxes threaten
foreclosure, vhv. I would ask, in the
name OF conscience, should the farmers
and laborers of this state be asked TO USE
extra exertions 10 return Ben Harrison
to the senate?
\ He certainly has not one sentiment
lone interest In common with The agri
lcultural aud laboring classes Of this state
and when these glasses 60 10 the poll
land vote for the Legislators TO return hin
Ito the senate. they are tightening the fct
tiers about their limbs that your part,
has been forging for them for the las
twenty five years.
