G. G. History fails to
record anywhere one single instance of
the money power voluntarily reducing
the amount payable by its debtors.
The only way Of obtaining anything
from the money power is through the
pressure Of votes. In Europe to-day
there arc s., 900, OO0, 900 of gold secur-
tiles of America, and thousands of
millions Of similar securities are held
in this country, yet we are told that if
silver is forced SO low as to cause dis
trcss in India or Lancashire the hold.
ers Of these securities will voluntarily
give up half their legal claim. The

and college professors. 1t is contrary
