witch robbed silver of ite mo ley
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions

reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or ayment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopoIize the coin Of
the commel cial world.

Nevada are in favor of the COIN
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to The coinage
