openly confessed rs IN unnatural monster
and as q menace to commercial prosperity.
The act repeating the silver purchase
clause declared it to be the policy of the
United States to maintain the use of both
gold and silver as standard money and
coin both gold and silver into money of
equal intrinsic and exchangeable value.
That policy received the sanction of both
houses of Copgr and was approved by
the Executive OH Nov. |, 1898. That
doctrine was upheld by all the great
names in American history. No citizen
of the United States could lie benefited
by the Punishment of silver, its degrada-
ton and distraction, unless he was holder
of idle money which he desired to invest
in cheap labor, in property at half its value,
or to loan at usurious rates Of interest.
Gray, Dem, of Delaware, argued against
the free coinage substitute, in favor of the
proposed bond issue Why, he asked,
should not the treasury notes be perma
nently retired? Why not divorce the gov
ernment from the banking business?
Why not provide measure of value, the
most stable that the civilized world could
command? He said that This legislation
meant to make dearer the bread with
which the toilers feed themselves and their
families. He wanted to see the silver dol
lar preserved at its present purchasing
power. He wanted to see when translated
in the hands of worlingmen into clothes,
food ana shelter mean the largest amount
of all these things thar it was possible to
get for it. And that is why, he re
marked, feel constrained to oppose the
proposition that by cheapeniDg money, you
are to raise prices, without any promise
that the wage Of the laborer is to be raised
ut the same time and by the same meas
ure.
Teller ASSERT that the best authorities
agreed that there had been an appreciation
of gold from 80 to 40 per cent.
