The Counterfeit Less DANGEROUS. !

few years ago men who coined
silver dollars on their own account
We're arrested. Although they put just
as much silver into the dollar as did
the government and then made profit
of over 40 cents per dollar Uncle Sam
interfered. If there was to be any
profit he proposed to make it himself,
as he had a perfect right to do. Now.
however, owners of silver propose to
counterfeiters. only under color of law.
They will take 81 cents worth of silver
and get the government to stamp it
dollar. Their efforts if successful will
be far more disastrous than were those
of the counterfeiter. The latter put
out dollar worth just as much intrin-
sically as the Silver Trust dollar would
be under the proposed free coinage
law. but worth more as money for the
government now stands behind its sill
Yer dollars. counterfeits and ALL unless
the counterfeits are detected and under
free coinage it would not The counter
feited dollars if undetected and not
made in too great numbers would not
begin to work the mischief that is
sure to be wrought if the Silver Trust
dollar is adopted
