the purchase Of four and half million dol
lars worth of silver to four and a half mill
lion ounces. Senator Jones Of Nevada is
quoted as saying:
when the bill was before the Senate
committee on finance, I favored the pur-
chase Of q definite quantity measured by
weight to avoid any chicanery over a dol
lars worth. The bill came over from the
House in the other form. and / was one of
several in the committee to suggest the
change"
But 1t seems that this change did not
accomplish the desired result" was sug-

said: 81 prefer this result.
1t is a fitting climax that both father

enormity of the sentences will better
protect our honor thar a less thor

striking at such man they waited
