supposable case does not illustrate
what the venerable multi-millionaire
would have you believe 1t does, because
every dollar of bonds outstanding
against the United States coday was
issued in exchange for gold coin or
gold bullion. 1t is true that by their
terms they IRE payable IN coin" 1t
Is true, too, that our government has
promised that 1t will maintain the pari-
ty Of the two kinds Of money-to keep
n dollar just as good as any other
dollar. Now let us see II we would be
keeping our pledge as expressed in our
statute book II we refused to surrender
to the holder of coin obligations his
option as to receiving gold or silver.
Remember what we have promised.
Here comes a man holding coin obliga-
lions (greenbacks or treasury notes)
and says, "Mr. Uncle Sam, will you
kindly give me gold coin for these?"
Uncle Sam y You cannot have gold
you win have to take silver" That
answer says just as distinctly as words
can that Uncle Sam considers gold
more valuable than silver and that very
minute gold goes to a premium and we
are on a silver basis. Uncle Sam has
violated his pledge to you and to me
and to every other person. He has not
protected his honor.
Uncle Sam is now veering aroung
into the class of Ananiases and is
thereby becoming a fit associate for the
venerable prevaricator. the senator
from Nevada. If the senator wants
god associates why does he not break
loose from Ananias and go to Uncle
Sam instead Of demanding that Uncle
Sam shall come across to him?
II the senator had illustrated this
matter by %supposing that his father
had borrowed a sack OF flour from his
neighbor and then left his o to salts
fy this obligation it would have been
thus: my father gets out OF flour and
borrows a sack from our neighbor. In
the course Of time we stock up with
flour and l take upon my shoulder a
