S''' S''ii -a' - S-y i'V' ""N Turkey, and Liber1a, Ask them also if it K not the standard Of Hanhood, and race, and climate, rath- CT than the standard of rdlae that makes the difference between all these countries and ours2
 B. That when goldites say that il we have free coinage, our gold will leave us, ask them if il is not already doing that under the single gold standard, and ask them also if the government has not paid out more than eight millions of dollars to q syndicate to watch over the treasury for six months and keep the gold from going out?
 3G. That all the goldites talk about "cheap dollars" is simply bosh, as cheap dollar is simply one that you don't have to give up such large amount of labor, or products, to get your hands on it.
 37. That whilst silver dollars may be bulky, very few of us will need wheelbarrows to carry around what we get of them, and that a gold dollar is so little that it gets lost in q poor mans pocket, and ifs legs arc too short to go round the corner to pay an honest debt, and it always runs and hides in time of need.
 38. That when a goldite tells you that, at present, tho silver in a dollar is only worth about 90 cents, ask him to tell you, if gold were demonetized like silver, what would be the worth of the gold in that thin disk of yellow metal now called a dollar? With supply oi nearly four billions on hand and an annual output of near y twice the amount required for use in the arts, where would be the demand to make gold worth even 50 per cent. of what it sells for now?
 39. That when goldtes tell you that the gold standard is already q fixed fact in our financial system, and that a change would be in ur- ious to "onr business interests" " tell them that no legitimate busi- ness should expect to prosper on the sacrifice of the interests of the many to the few, and that the maintenance of the single gold standard has already cost the American people many billions of dollars in reduced prices received for their exports, and increase in their inde btedness, and that 1t has reached a point now whero we can only retain our gold reserve by is- suance of government bonds and hiring a gold syndicate to act as guardian of our national treasury.
 10. That so far as free coinage of silver causing gold to leave us, under the operation of the "Gres- ham law" or "eheap money driv- ing out dear money,' that so-called law simply amounts to this, that gold or silver, either one, like any commodity, will go where it can get the most for itself; and the gold, we have now on hand, we got here by paying more for 1t than anybody else would under the same circumstances Gold always gravitates to tho level of lowest prices, and the last we got into our treasury came there because it got for itself more bonds and better bonds, on better terms, than it could get anywhere else.
 II. That if we had free coinage ot silver, no gold dollar would leave us without silver dollar to take its place, and fl, as Mr. Car. lisle predicts 25,000,O00 in gold should finally cross to Europe, that that amount would increase, by at least one fourth, the volume of real money there, and cause q rise in general prices in the very mark cts where our people sell their, surplus cotton, wheat and other products.
 42. That old. stock -in-trade ar gumeut that the movement in la vor ot free coinage of silver is "in the interest of western mine own CTS" iS the same as if men, inter- ested in the high price of bread, were to denouce a movement to open the mills to corn as simply
