tries depends upon higher prices for
silver bullion because our competitors
in foreign markets are silver standard

a higher price and still undersell them
in the markets of the world. But how

bullion? BY kicking it out and dis
couraging its use as money as much as
we can, or by admitting it to free coin
age and helping along it's restoration
as money metal in the commerce OF
the world? The gold bug says that
you can best raise it's price by dis
couraging its use. Which is the gold
bug, statesman, fool or liar-Lahor
