speaker then compared the conditions

declared that free coinage must come
to aid such as have suffered reVerseS.
Governments are slow to act in the
matter of reforms, but they eventually
come. In the meantime everyone
knows that the laboring class cannot
advance without work. OF what use
the skilled hand or the strong arm

address with the following lines:
