stick to the gold Standard.
There & comparatively no gold in cir
culation in this country Notwithstanding
the fact that we have coined almost as
much gold as silver. IF it is in circulation
why IL it that no one ever sees it Why
is it that when the government gets a
little hard up for gold coin an appeal has
to DO made to English bankers, and gold
brought over from England to us
Any standard money that the masses
never get a glimpse of, that is entirely
out of ordinary circulation, that can be
cornered by a few individuals at the ex-
pense Of every trade, every profession,

and dishonest money, and i'll suited for
the purposes for which it is intended.
Such is gold. 1t has proved a treach-
