A SILVER MANS SCHEME.
It Is to Have a Depository for Silver
Bullion and Issue Notes Upon It.

Denver. Dec. Ex-Governor MeIntire
has received the following letter to
which he has not replied:
Broken Bow, Neb., Dec. Is. '96.
Gov. McIntire:
Dear sir:-What do you think Of the
idea of the legislature of Colorado
making an appropriation to construct
a depository for silver bullion in your
state? The bullion could be deposited
and certificates issued upon the same to
the market value of the bullion. which
certificates could be used as money by
the people in this way the demand for
more money could be met.
I have thought the matter over and
if 1 can get any encouragement from
silver producing states, viii introduce
a bin in the Nebraska senate this win
ter to that effect. I am satisfied that
the new use such a scheme would Gre
ate for silver bullion would cause the
price to rise and many of the benefits
sought for by the free silver advocates
would be reached, and no law violated
Please think the matter over careful
~ and let me hear from you. Very truly
