pied by their former idol: "I believe
the struggle now going on in this
country and in other countries for

successful, produce widespread dis,
astcr in and throughout the com

gold as the sole unit OF value, must
have Il ruinous effect on all forms

in money. Those would be enor.

would gain a disproportionate and
unfair advantage over every other

most reliable statistics affirm, there
are nearly $1,000, 100000 of coin or
bullion iii the world, very equally
divided between gold and silver,

NO power was conferred on congcss
to declare either metal should not

the change which has worked wonders
