of silver to the place Ii ''chpled
previous 20 the passage Oh the
Mint Act OF 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations The legislation
which robbed silver Of its Eooney
functions and denied to the owner
of silver bullion the right to have
the game coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions

reduced the money of ultimate re-
