money; it will make better prices
fol farm products; it will make the
farmer buyer in our markets.
Times can be no worse than
they are at present. Our currency
is not expansive enough for the de-
mands Of the people. France has
$40 per capita Of money in circula-
ton, and its people are prosperous
and happy. We have $40 per
capita. We need more money, and
free coinage will put an end to busl-
ness stagnation. Our factories are
closed and our artisans and me.
chanics are out OF work. More
money will make higher prices,
better demand for goods, and a re-
vival Of prosperity.
Goods and produce are too cheap
because people have no money u
