1885. You had been elected president
for your first term, and on that day
you signed your first nominal utter
ance'on the money question. It was
in form Of letter addressed to Hon.
! A. j. Warner and nearly a hundred
other members Of the Forty-eighth
congress. They were Democrats who
had sent you a request not to commit
the party In your inaugural address
to the purposes of gold contractionists
until the whole subject could be care
fully considered. You were known to
be the most ignorant man that ever
reached so high an Office as our pres
idency and it was rumored that your
crude financial impressions were such
as had been suddenly pumped into you
by the New York banks, the stock ex-
change and their various adjuncts.

most portentous problem of the age,

prevented "by the suspension OF the

But when he made you state that silver
coins in tne treasury were worth less
to the dollar than gold coins, he must
have had complete confidence in your
mental emptiness or else in your reck-
less lack OF all veracity. No silver
coin of this country, II full legal-ten-
der, was then below the par Of gold, or
is so to-day. In 1872, before demoneti-
zation, the American silver dollar was
worth little more than the gold dol
