The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-08-27

"Our opponents do not dare to say
that the gold standard is a good thing,
because no party in the history of this
country has ever declared in favor of
n gold standard, and they do not dare
to say that the gold standard is a bad
thing, and then tell 70,OOO,OO0 of liberty
loving people that they have got to
suffer until some foreign nation brings
them relief. What is the principle that
underlies it all! 1t is that the law OF
supply and demand applies to money as
TO everything else. In case the amount
Of money increases more rapidly thah
the demand Ior money Increases anu
