England did not demonetize gold.
Then England joined with Roths-
child & Co. to enslave the world.

"In 1877, they called Q congress
to unity the weights and measures.
We owed three thousand millions
of debt at that time, outside of pri-
vate corporations. That conference
before it broke up recommended
the
DEMoNETIzATIoN OF SILVER.
Mr.. Sherman recommended a bill
to destroy silver. A minority re-
port predicted unforeseen evils. Mr..
Sherman did not dare to call up
that bill with that minority report.
Mr.. Sherman presented a bill to
codify the mint law. l did not
discover that the silver dollar had
been left out, as we were not look
ing for it as it was a bill to define
salaries. When it came to the SEN
ate in 1872, it had history. On
the 18th of January it was called
up for action. These amendments
were taken up and discussed. The
sixteenth amendment, the one de-
monetizing silver, was skipped
wasn't read That is the reason
that Holeman, Blaine, VOORHEES,
and the others said they didn't
know of it. I have told Sherman
of it but there has been no expla-
nation. Ifany one doubts my word /,
I am ready to demonstrate it.
"That was the great crime. One
half of our money supply was cut
off. Prices fell so per cent.
"Now, do you call gold an honest
measure, that is honest money,
that keeps prices stable? 1t is a
changing standard. 1t changes ev-
cry hour, every minute in favor OF

| denounce gold as robber. We
have been robbed of this heritage
given us by the pioneers of the
West. They have by fraud de-
stroyed the value of our mines.
They have sent many of you to pre-
mature graves. They now call you
silver barons trying to rob the
Rothschilds.
1.-The indications are that the
dark ages are upon us. Europe
has 100000 soldiers to subju-
gate the people. Manufacturers Of
England
SAY THEY ARE RUINED.
The farms in England have shrunk'
en- so per cent. We find the strug
Cling employer calling on the army
to put down labor. Look at the
failures. There will be fewer gold
bugs next year than this.

They say there's plenty of gold te

City Yesterday. There is four
thousand millions of silver, and
they say it is not good money
They propose now to repeal the act
:. of 1S9O-the Sherman act. The
delegates to the Brussels conference
said that if that was done silver
coinage would have to be given uE
in India. This money must go out
of existence if you knock the bot
tom out of it entirely.
"Max Muller found that the ratio
between gold and silver had only
deviated three points in 5000 years
The relative value is the coinage
value. Now they say change tn
ratio. There was never such
fraud proposed in the world. Their
