The ONLY Dollar.

"Why. why" roar the free silver
freaks, "whN did YOU strike down the
silver dollar in 1873 when it was
worth apremium of three cents over
gold"
Why? Ave vi, why?
Well, in the first place the silver
dollar was not struck down in 1878.
There was no silver dollar in 1873.
There never will be silver dollar in
circulation when it Is worth three
cents more than II gold dollar. No
people would bc such fools To- use as
money II dollar which is worth three
cents more as bullion.
In the second place, if there had
been II silver dollar in 1873 which
VAS worth thrcc cents more than gold
ii would have been. according to the
latter day silvcriles, good thing tu
strike it down; for it there had been
any crCditnrs shrcwd enough Ia stIpu-
late it in their contracts that their
dents should be paid in silver dollars
the debtors would have had to pay in
dollars worth 1903 cents instead of in
dollars worth only 100 cents.
The people of this country do not
want dollar that is worth one thing
to-day and another thing to morrow;
they do not want II dollar worth l03
cents any more than they want one
worth 81 cents. The lO0-ccmts dollar
is the only honest dollar, and it is the
only dollar that creditors are going
to be allowed To- demand or that debt
ors are going to he allowed to pay. -
