Camp Silver, Ausuo, o. 1896.
Messrs. Phil. Armour 81 Co., Chicago, Ill.
Friend Phil:-Your offer of so cents
worth of meat and Mexican dollar in
exchange for an American dollar received,
put can do better with our home
butcher. he offers so cents worth of
meat and 81 worth of Portuguese per
cent. gold bonds in exchange for a silver
dollar.
Our butcher says the bonds must be
good, as Portugal has been on a gold
standard since 1853 (twenty years before
the other enlightened nations of Europe)
and its national debt has only Increased
lOO per cent. since that date. Average
wages paid all artisans in Portugal is II
cents per day.
In your former letter you told me that
all I've needed was little gold, improved
banking facilities, and Condolences
Portugal has 'littie goldn the world
has had its improved banking facilit:es,'
since 1858, and can supply the ''confi-
dence," SO the bonds are certainly good
Our home butcher says that he will
continue to give so cents worth of meat
and So worth Of Portuguese gold bonds af.
ter Bryan is elected. Will you guarantee
rive % cents worth of meat and a
dollar in exchange for an Amer
,ta Var after Bryan is electedf
Yours truly,
