A Fact About the silver Dollar.

II is true that the silver dollar now
buys ns much us any other, because the
government is able to maintain " at
par with gold; but under free coinage
policy the power to keep IL at par would
be destroyed and II would sink TO the
level of its intrinsic value, which Is
now about 50 cents. In other words, II
passes to-day for AZ cents more than
its actual value on account OF the gold
standard that the republican party IL
pledged to continue, while the demo-
Gratis propose to drive all OF the gold
out OF the country and establish the
silver standard, which would mean dol
lars that would buy only about half as
much as those now in circulation. Tho
citizen of average intelligence should
have no difficulty in understanding a
matter Of this kind.--St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
