AS rule Mr.. organs speeches make excellent sound
seldom fail to convince readers of the falacy of the
free silver scheme dollar that advances in value and
buys more and all the time, is certainly worth
keeping and prices that continually falling benefit
the public because people generally live much better
than under cheap money regime. With sound money
and low prices the demand would naturally increase
not for the fear business have of free silver
agitation. A money that buys more than it did when
debased by inhaton and prices that are lower than
when governed by wartime conditions will not fail to
prosper this country period of financial rest Nor
will the ability of debtors to pay their obligations be
impaired because increased volume of trade would
insure profitable returns from employment in

to the sopstry that cheap money is better than that
which is undepreciabe. Especially this true when
the sverites attempt to prove by comparing the fall
of silver with the decline in the prices of farm products
