bullion, in his letter of March 18TH,
1886. Us purchasing power is rs great
now as it was in 1873. when it com !
manded a premium over gold and
when no n complained of u light
weight dollar" 1t il worth 100 cents
10 silver. 1t will buy 100 cents worth
of any commodity or necessity of life
as Well as a gold dollar. 1t Mill liquid
DIT a coin debt of the value of 100
cent?. II a days labor is worth 100
cents in American morey, n silver
dollar containing 4122 grains OF stand
ard silver will pay it. There is no frac-
ton IF a so cent dellac, but a cent is a
fraction of a dollar worth 100 cents,
There are no two prices on goods such
as d silver and a gold price. Ten silver
dollars are "a valuable AS ten gold
dollars. In all domestic monetary
transactions a 4129 grain slatdard
silver dollar is the peer Of 25.S grain
gold dollar, no matter how hisu the
premium.
A greenback or National Bank note
is as good as a gold dolia.', but no
b-tteC than a silver dollar. The law,
not Mark Hanna, declares the silver
dollar to lie tie equal Of the god dol
lar in value. The Bland act OF 1873
says so. Section 1927 of the Revised
Statutes provides that ">ilver cOibs,
other than the trade dollar, shall be
paid out at the several miLtS i'll tx
change for gold coins at par in sums
not less than one hundred dollars. Now
if a silver dollar be good enough to
pay out at d sub-treaSury of the United
State, ought 1t not to be go q enough
FOR the b~OndhOlder who contracts in
express terms to leceive it in satlsfac-
ton of his debt. The so cent dollar is
an illegal invention to deceive the
people. 1t is not "a coined lie but a COLI
ed truth. The trade dollar VAS worth
only 100 cents containing y grains
more than the present one, but when
it was demOuitiZed it became a cam
modify aud never reached in value
he 80 cent maik Two half-dOllars
have a cents worth Of silver less that
the silver dollar, but tn of them viii
pay d debt OF five dollars as we'll as Il
gold half eagle or any other kind OF
cure! cy. When OlGaI Is not free

Importance than the dimensions

The trusts and syndicates who pro"
,se TO taxi cars of all the poor in the
laud can make so cents on the dollar by
paying their bonds and employees IN
standard dollars. If, as they say they
are only worth so cents, the latter
will be compelled to accept them fol
they are still full legal tender.
The st. Louis Convention has fur
nished US with a new school OF poll
. teal economists, who claim to have q
. thorough knowledge OF arithmetic, bu
q have no respect for geography, They
, declare the STANDARD dollar to be dis
honest, but pledge themselves to max,
: it honest by asking foreign countries
to sanction its use in America.
An inIimation from any consider
able number Of u people that WI d.

is enough to bring the blush Of sham,
to the thinking and independent citi
