Hon. w. L. Peek, and published at
that time in the Atlanta Journal. The
Journal was then openly opposing the
sub-treasury scheme and my personal
opposition to 1t was well understood.

the free coinage Of silver would carry

purchasing power. Since that time
have given to the subject much more
study. and being thoroughly satisfied
that the free. unlimited and indepen-
