There is no class OF people that work

The money sharks are loud in their
wall in defense of an honest dollar.
What Is AN honest dollar any ,way?
During the past twenty-five years these
same fellows have given tho country al
least five different weights of silver
dollars in their frantic efforts to get on
AN honcsty basis. Among them was
the trade dollar, the heaviest Of all. but
" hen they got il Into general circula-
iiou and il was held by the people in
stead Of the bankers, it was accidently
discovered that II was not legal ten
der, because il lacked the authority OF
the government in it's irsuauce. conse-
luently the people were compelled TO
dispose Of them at one-tifth OF their face
value. Was that an honest dollar:-
