1t will cease t. be worth hnt sixty

the effect Of legislation, leap 70 its
mint valuation. No one having silver
bullion will be silly enough to part
with it for less than what it would
bring at the Mat.
If it was right to coin silver free Ut
charge prior to 1878, why would it be
II crime to give it the privilege Of free
coinage in this year Of grace. 1896 I II
it was wrong from 1892 to 1873 TO
com both gold and silver free, then,
it would be wrong now to give them
equal privileges At the mint, but who
is SO bold among the gold monnmetal-
lists now to claim, thar all the Fathers
Of tile Republic we're guilty Of debas-
ing the currency and of r~epndiating

The law would in this case create q
demand for the silver product and
under we'll known economic princi-

article, the greater the price. Thus,
silver being in great demand for COL
mage purposes. its commercial price
would at once enhance to its mint

who discuss this great question that

enhancement Of the value If silver

Bland Allison Bill Of 1878 was passed,
by which provision was made for the
coiuage Of two million dollars per
month of silver its price was increased
