only been coined 5000, 900 of silver i
dollars. Since that time, there has
been coined, including the fractional
currency of the country. SAT, 600. 900, 900
60 times as much as had been COIN
ed in nearly a hundred years before.
Now. If silver was demonetized in 1873,
and there has been coined nearly GO
times as much under the Legislation of
1873 as there was in a hundred years
before, it seems to me that those who
favor the increased coinage OF the
metal ought to be the very mes to sup
port the characterization policy. But it
is positively false-the statement that
silver was deronetized in 1873. That
is positively an untruth; and l say that
as a free silver man under certain re-
st%rictions. Here are 10 proofs of 10
liars, when 10 men stand up n say
that silver was knocked out as a
ey metal in 1878.
Referring to the reciprocity law and
free silver, Mr.. Schoonmaker said: 1T
