During the Extraordinary session Of con-
gress of 1888, called by President Clsve-

declared that
While the government can say that n

depend upon the law Of supply and de-
mand.

rapidly than the need of dollars-as IL did
after the gold discoveries Of lsig-the eN-
chanBeablc value of each dollar Will fan

There was Il time. therefore, when BRYAN
knew that the eN~ohangable value Of a dol
