stand where he is than jump without
knowing where he is to fall, upon solid

the circulation of both gold and silver at

when dollar stood for SO much and called
for 50 little as at present.
Mr.. Mcmillan followed. lie said there
was an insufficient currency and that we
should not wait for the cooperation of any
foreign country before taking steps to inn
prove our financial affairs. He was not

he desired the Use of both. metals. The
theory that the amount of currency in Cir

Mr.. Brosius (Gepubican of Pennsyl-

Mr. Bailey (Democ-at OF Tsxas) sought
to prove that gold had appreciated within

have nothing to stand on, as thu basis of
their contention was that gold was stable.
