Secretary of Agriculture Morton
offers an explanation of thepresident's
sound money letter. He says: "The
presidents critics ask what is sound
money! Any ordinary man of busi-
ness may answer that question. Sound
money is that sort of currency which
has the most universal and least fuc-
tusting purchasing power in the mar
ket of all countries. That money is the
'soundest' for which, throughout the
commerce of the civilized world, there
is the most universal demand. And
that universal demand is always based
upon the universal and unfuctuating
purchasing power of that money. The
present epidemic of the silver fever
will, in due time, abate."
