of This and Other Nations with
Free Coinage.

Mr.. Bryan states that he believes the
free coinage Of silver, by our govern
mcnt alone, at the ratio OF rs TO /.
would raise the price Of silver TO ST. 20
per ounce: and he never tires OF alleg-
ing that our government Is strong, and
rich, and powerful enough 10 accomplish
this result without waiting or asking for
the cooperation Of any other country.
In making this prediction Mr.. Bryan
ignores the experience Of this and other
nations Of the world in regard 10 the
coinage Of silver during the past 100
years: but waving that let us see what
his proposition involves.
| presume IL will be conceded by Mr..
Bryan and his adhercnts that the price
Of silver bullion I'm this country cannot
be affected without at the same time
affecting IL everywhere, and that the
rise in the price will apply TO all silver.
