The men who tell the people
through the public press and from
the speakers platform that gold will
drop out of circulation when silver is
admitted to the right of free coinage
in the mints just as gold IS admitted:
don't seem TO understand that gold
has value Of its own aEd will al

from the misty past as their own
hackers, carrying all the paper obi.

there was not gold and silver enough
to redeem the promises TO pay, and
then the paper obligations depreciat
ed, became worthless and were re.
pudiated. The paper indebtedness
of the world 20 day is larger by many
times than ever, and more than any
other time needs solid coin basis TO
make its payment secure beyond Il
doubt, and yet III the face of that
fact certain class of men are strIv-
ing to secure legislation against 81!

promises, but that the obligations or
paper promises shall be paid or re

may be bat1led and delayed-gold
