paramount to all other political
considerations The legislation
which robbed silver Of it's money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage ofgold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re.
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable in
money TO monopoize the coin Of
the commercial world.

Nevada are in favor Of the coin
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions v, ich apply to .he coinage
