the loss of half the value of labor and of

suicide, millions of willing hands forced
to be idle, and these millions degraded

vision at the hands of charity, the sub
serviency OF this great nation to money
changers of Europe, and the multitude
OF evils yet to follow in its wake if the
gold standard is to be perpetuated; we
