The act was a compromise measure, and was passed to save the country from free coinage bill that had been passed by the senate by an overwhelming majority. The democrats helped to pass it, and now they abuse it and blame it for all the financial woes of the nation. If the Sher- man bill had not been. passed free coin- age bill would, and the result would have been infinitely more damaging to the country"
