and pro rata for every other product OF

same hotel bills, the same taxes or any

The speaker then devoted himself TO
the utter hopelessness of securing In
ternational agreement, and the abso-
lutte ability of the United States to re-
store silver to a parity with gold with
out any assistance whatever He
showed that the trains of the United
States did more than one-half as much

balance of the world; and, measured by
the extent to which this country used
money, we are more than One-third of

tons more than that of the railroads of
all the rest Of the world combined, add

In concluding he appealed to the pa
triOtic sentiment Of all to regard the
fight for silver as a matter of personal
concern and one that OvershadOWed all
other political questions of situations.
