NONSENSE.

Under the above headline the Mime
apolis Times s%ilcnces the cry of gold
bugs that the silver dollar is a 'dishon-
est dollar in the following terse lines: e
One Of the %silliest arguments used by
the mOnomctallists against the free coin
age of silver is that it is dishonest be-
cause "a silver dollar is only worth 50
cents" Admit it. Admit that the sill
yer in a silver dollar, stripped of it's legal
tender quality and reduced to the condi
ton of a mere commodity, is worth only
80 cents. What would d gold dollar be
worth if it was reduced to the same level!
What would the gold IN a gold dollar be
worth in the market, stripped OF it's legal
tender quality as silver was in 1873! The
fact is if gold were d~cmOnctizcd the bull
ion in a gold dollar would not be worth
more than 30 cents. 1t is worth less
than that as a commodity for use in the
arts. 1t is not necessary to be an ardent
free silver advocate in order to see that
the cry of "dishOnesty" raised against
silver coinage is fraudulent nonsense.
The Times could have added that il
silver had not been fraudulcntly demon
etized by the republican party in 1873
the world would not hear today the dis
honest cry of monometallists that the
silver dollar of 412H grains is a "dishon-
est" dollar, a 'short weight" dollar, a
Fraudulent dollar. 1t was through a
