New York. August l. - NJ NJ
Mr.. Mckinley was perfectly correct in his
statement but 1t does not follow. because the
United States has been able far to keep the
silver dollars and legal-tender notes now in ex-
istence on a parity with gold. that it can go on
increasing the amount of fiat money indefinitely
and still maintain it's value. on the contrary,
all experence shows that this cannot be done,
AMI the recent experience Of the United states
ia only additional proof Of that fact. A man

v,ithout losing control of himself. but he cannot
safely absorb whskey in unlimited quantities.
