The Egg Argument.
The 10 10 people tell that the coinage of sill.
YER will create unlimited demand for IL. They
decline to give us the howness OF the wherefore
ness OF this new born demand but with child
like faith they expect IL TO rise in all its beau
~ ~ the tabled Venus rose from the froth of
the sea. They say the demand will come:

they will not need silver the demand will be
for free and unlimited water. They contend
II this government takes all the silver that
comes at 10 TO l, silver will be worth par all
over the world, and they use an egg arpu
ment 70 prove IL. They say, II a merchant
advsrtises that he will pay % cents per dozen
for eggs. 20 long As he has the ability to take
all that come, eggs will be worth 25 cents In
all that country. But suppose the merchant
did not take themi Suppose when farmer
drove up to his store the merchant said unto
him: my friend. you have misunderstood
ne. am not buying eggs. am simply count
ing them. certifying that they are good and
handing them back to YOU" What would eggs
hen be WORTH The same old 10 or Is cents
per dozen.
Under unlimited coinage the government
would not buy silver OF guarantee the value
II the coins II would stamp 1t without re-
,ourse." Silver would come from every coun-
Try in the world and the government would
DO fool TO undertake to guarantee the value
II the coins by trying to preserve the parity
oetweon the metals. II a herder drove lot
II cow ponies through the mint and they were
branded "ti00 horse" and delivered TO the
,wner at the othor end of the building A
would not improve the breed of the ponies
,or create y wild demand for them at the
brand price.
Our government has lost s2O0, O0O, 900 trying

eparate use, behoof and benefit of the silver

want it and had no need Of IL. and the silver
