sixteen cents per pound less under free
trade than it was under the protection
given to the wool growers in Gov. Nc
Kinley's tariff period:

will show the sincerity of their conven-

their efforts to elect it. Of course they
are all honest men but they cannot think
Of deserting their party in order to prove
It, Should this free silver party elect their
ticket and have a majority Of tho mem
bers of Congress silver men, then the own
er of every hundred dollars worth of bull
ion could take it to the mint and have coin
ed out of it nearly $500 This would prove
an easy way to get rich No other indus
try could possibly pay such profit. The
government could not long guarantee it
to be exchangeable for gold. 1t would
bankrupt the treasury to do SO The SO
called dollars would therefore soon sink
to their bullion value and pass only for 50
cents. We should then be on silver basis
and irretreivable confusion would be the
result.
