1T il not merely as the exponent OF
monetary reform hat we present this
man TO the people. 1t is true that he has
waged a mighty war for the restoration
of the money of the constitution, and
his name has been identified as thai

In kindness Of deeds for his fellows
and in the study and the doings of a
mighty career-he has been one of the
most opulent American citizens of any
age.
