Do you deny that the purchasing

Do you deny that it therefore ne.
cessarily follows that as gold buys
more and more silver every gold
dollar and every dollar of any gold
standard currency buys more and
more Of all of the products of silver
currency countries?
Do you deny that for the last %
years more and more of wheat and
cotton has been and Is being raised

therefore as a given weight of gold
buys more silver it likewise must
