This is precisely the same in our civ.

"0oly . few years ago our money vas
sold and silvsr-m ,ney that had been
he money OF man for thousands OF wears.
Our silver vas demonetized and gold
made the standard.

the demonstration OF silver In 1873
There is not one. We need altogether
moro money than We have. Hos much
have We got? Four or FIVE hundred
nillions. maybe, altogether.
Last year the farmers OF America
faised. OF corn, wheat and oats, over
u 800. 900 900 worth. and got the money.
sixteen hundred millions just In corn.
sheAt and osts-over $500, 900 900 in
corn over $500, 900 900 in wheat. Just
ihink Of IL Sixteen hundred million
dollars, not counting beef or pork or pc
soleum or cotton or any OF the manufsc-
ared articles Of this country. sixty.6ve

We need twice a much monev per

= 10 needed TO do the business OF any
sher country. There is always some
'ody that is crazy for fear there will be
bore currency. want just all the
money we can get. Silver is good enough
Or me. All want Of the money 10 to
ny my debts. Yes, sir, and I want the
sw to compel the other fellows to take
shat take That is good enough for
Ne.
Il believe that every ounce Of silver
hat 10 dug under the American flag
lbould be coined free under the Ameri-
Tan fsg. In my country they are mostly
90 the other side. They are with the
bsnkers, the rich fellows. They yet to-
fsther and say We want gold. A man
makes = contract to paw certain moneys
10 I've years. want Law 40 that he
zn pay the money when the contract
nnes due with the money that was
sooey when he made the contract.
u do not think the few should have
ne right to combine TO increase The value
