warranted in charging that the de-

cry about sound money and maintain-
Ing the honor and credit OF the United

object, first, the utter destruction OF
silver az n money metal; second. the In
crease os the public debt, the issue OF
bonds payable in gold, and third, the
surrender TO corporations OF the power
to isrue all paper money and give them
monopoly OF that function"

nection said:
