ways and when YOU tell me that men will
! hoard money under free coinage | tell YOU
that | know that they will not hoard
money, because people never hoard money
when money is falling in value. They do
not hoard wheat when wheat is going
down. You will find that when the price
begins to fall they begin to get rid of the
thing falling in price and under free coin
money brought into circulation, and peo-
pie understand that this means that the
purchasing power of the dollars will fall,
and when that commences the man who
OWNS the dollar will be trying to get rid
of the dollar and get hold of something
which IS rising in its purchasing power
