II. W. Ve~iJury-Let us confine

should be aud ii would be unwise, in
my opnloh, to antagonizc convictions
on other subjects by advocating any
other Free coinage at the existing
ratios will gather support from protec-
.ionists and free traders, but free coin
age and free trade will not secure the
support of protectionists, nor will free
coinage and protection be likely to Sc
enre the support of free traders.
