We must not be misle1 by phrases nor de-
luded by false theories. Free silver would not
mean that silver dollars were TO be freely had
without cost labor. II would mean the free

few who are owners Of silver bullion. but would
make silver coin no freer 20 the many who are
engaged I'm other enterprises II would not
make labor easier the hours of labor shorter. or

WHAT 1T MEANS

Chicago is that any one may take n quantity q

The owner OF the silver bullion would get the
silver dollar 1t would belong 70 him and 10
nobody else. other people would get IL only
by their labor the products Of their land or
something OF value. The bullion owner on the
basis OF present values would receive the silver
dollar for 53 cents worth Of silver. and other
people would be required 10 receive IL "a a fun
dollar in the payment OF debts The Govern
ment would get nothing from the transaction.
II would bear the expense OF coming the silver,
and the community would suffer loss by it's uso.
TIE DOLLARS COMPARED
We have coined since 1878 more than fO0.-
