pared December 18th before the Ranking
and Currency Committee Of the House Of

remarks:
"Imaaine all the minis of Europe ana

then would not accept les than this

lawful money could be had for it, at this
price, at the mint; and the artisan would
not pay more for silver because he could

"Next, imagine all thu minis Of Europe

Hence. for 50 long as there continued 10

price would be one for silver Which
would mean that the one mint price for

II IL evident that Thorpe cannot unseat

have no case otherwise is TO show that In

more blacks than whites; that the blacks

have the seat In dispute.
But even this ingenious way of arguing
