The government. authorities have dis
covered evidence going to prove hat a
gang of counterfritcrs has been oper-
ating in Texas. with agencies in vari-
Gus parts of the country. \ counter
~feiters' camp was found in the Lone
Star state at which judging from the
moulds. cruCibles and rollers that were

have been a free coinage mint of great
capacity. 1t is said that Il consignment
of 1000 Mexican dollars was received
at Waco. a few months ago. and an
other consignment of lO.n0O Mexican
dollars more recently. Tn" theory is.
of course. that these Mexican dollars
were re-coincd into spurious but per-
haps fulI-woight United States dollars.
But If the cOunterfeiters had any means
OF getting possession of silver bullion
they would have been in no need Of
gathering up Mexican dollars to con-
vert into American money.

these cOuntcrfeitors have been turning
out spurious silver dollars of full

When the silver agitation began in
1877 with the silver dollar worth 92
cents, strong arguments could be made
for the reconciliation of silver. and
they impressed many people.
In eighteen years these arguments
have all been answered by experience.
For fifteen years the United States
coined an average of sec, 600, 900 of sill
yer a year, and the silver dollar sank
to so cents in 1890. Then it was pro-
posed that the United States take up
all its silver product. AS this, with the
coinage of india, Mexico and other sill
,er-using countries. disposed of the en-
tire annual product, Senator Stewart
predicted that silver would go to par
In 1893. at its highest, the silver dollar
was worth 65 cents, and at its lowest
81.
The experiment had failed. Expert
ence had ended argument. Today.
the silver dollar is forth SO cents. The
day of argument for the silver dollar is
over. Mr.. Bryan makes none. He
simply asserts hat with free silver
coinage the silver dollar will go to par.
He gives no reasons. lie simply repeats
the assertion. All over the country. it
S the same. No silver paper is printing
any arguments. Their articles declare
that a great wrong was done in demon
citing silver. propose to remonetize it,
and assert that the farmer will gain.
This is all. No one has any facts or
figures. The n plea is: Times are
bad. This will mend them"
