is an abandonment OF principle for selfish
ends. Mr.. Washburn said:

Twenty to one would benefit the silver pro-
ducers alone. and would not help the farme ers
or wage earners by increasing the price of
products. which ratio OF III to would do.
Hence we must part company with the silver
men who favor the change;
