70 overthrow the present gold standard
Of value, and adds, IN part:
I'VE further believe that our full
measure of national prosperity VIII not
be gained until the whole world under
stands that the dollar of the United
| States is one hundred cents worth OF
gold, and that intends TO keep it at tina
value.
I'VE believe that an opportunity Is pre-
scented by the issue Of this political cam
paign TO give a lasting definition of the
dollar as a money, and to remove the
menace of an overturn Of value and
far-reaching ruin and distress which a
descent 10 silver basis would in
volve."
