ed the statement that Bishop Keane, for

II at all forecasts as to Bishop keane's

We don't know anything about, because
you certainly would be on either one or

from the course of the price Of silver in
the past twenty-three years that it would
be an uncertain business. Now, who
wants to go on an uncertain basis? II is
the class Of men who take their bonds
payable in gold, and singularly enough,
every patriot who wants the United
States to go on silver basis has taken
the precaution 10 have every bond Of
