and Observation-Disclosures silver as money
by falling TO provide for the coinage
of the silver dollar. II was nos as
cussed. as shown by the record ana
neither members Of Congress nor the
people unders. cod the scope OF the legis-
la.ion." (Appendix, page 1877, Congress
ional Record, vol 7, Cart 6, Forty-fourtA
CoGgress)
Senator Hereford discussing the sub
ject in the Senate said: SO then say
beyond the possibility OF doubt land
there is no diaput.ng iO that BILL when
demionetizea silver as it passed, was
never read. never was discussed, and
the chairman Of the committee who re-
ported il. who offered the substitute
said to Mr.. Holman, when inquired Of,
that il did not affect the coinage in any
way whatever" Congressional Rec
ord, vol. I, par; l, second session Forty
fifth Congress, page 9S9)
Is not this indisputaole and unim-
peacha5le testimony ample evidence
that the decentralization Of silver in 1873
was not only a crime, but crime done
in secret. which has brought untold mis-
cry on the American people?
On the testimony of Judge Kelly, CT
Pennsylvania, chairman CT the Commit
tee on Coinage, the bill when it left the
hands Of the committee DID NOT DE-
MONETIZE THE SILVER DOLLAR.
On the contrary it provided for It's con-
tinued coinage. And yet after the bill
was passed il was discovered that the
provision fer the silver dollar was omit
ced-h2d been by some secret means 90
liberated from the document.
If this was rot a crime and a secret
crime. we would like TO know what our
Republican friends, who have endorsed
this villainous outrage on the American
people, would consider as such.
Now to bring The crime OF 10 home
to its perpetrators. Who'benefted by 1t?
The bondholders in Wall Stree; and
Europe, who have since made many mill
ions GU: Of it at the expense Of the peo-
pie. But who did the trick? A writer
quoted by Samuel Leavitt in his book
Our Money Wars" says:

Such is the confession CT one Of the

was dropped from our coinage.

endorses, and which is now beirg upheld
By Republican speakers and organs!
