Mr.. Harycy-That Is right
WERE CONGR EsSMEN FOOLS?
Mr.. Horr-Wcl then. JUST say Now. the pro-
vision existed that the silver for making such haii-
dollars should be bought by the Government and
that the scigniorage arising from coming such
money. which worth less than 1t was worth
its face should go into the Government Treas
ury. DO you believe they provided for "A CON con
tanning double the amount OF Hi'Ver ~ ,nr M ~,
should come to the mint and coin 1t INTO such DOL
lars ana in the same bill also provided that If 1t
was coined into half-doilars the Government
should get it? Now II men have any sense. how
much would the Government get under the clrclim-
stances? Let us be honest about this. They
couldn't buy a dollar. and you know It, anywhere
In the United States Men wouldn't 10 ana sell
their silver for the market price when the very
bill would permit them to have Il coined and give
them a large price for II. The thing is too rldicu
lous to be discussed by men who have any bust
sense. That Is all there Is about II.
