silver in 1873 by the party then in power
as an iniquitous alteration of the money
standard in favor of creditors and against
debtors, tax x-payels and producers, and
which by shutting off one source of sup
ply of primary money continually in
increase the value of gold, depressed
prices, hampers industry and disparages

of both gold and silver with equal right,
each to free anu unlimited coinage"

tdollar congress which by it's extrayagant
expenditures has exhausted the surplus
linthe National treasury left there by a
democratic administration and created q
ldeficit.''

with our Canadian neighbors. y
L. I'VE favor a liberal and just pension
to deserving and disabled soldiers and
sailors and their widows and orphans. >
