People differ and differ honestly IN
reference to the free coinage Of silver.
We oppose it because we believe that
il would injure cur people.
The first effect would be a wonderful
contraction of the currency. As soon
q. there is certainty Of free coinage,
GOLD would be driven out Of circulation.
The free silver men tell you that gold IL
NOT i'm circulation now. This is not true.
We have hundreds OF millions OF gold
which in part forms tho reserve OF banks
and the treasury reserve and which has
IT, representative in the form OF paper
currency circulating every day. Drive
if ont of circulation and other forms oil
money must take its place and there
would be such fearful contraction
that business ofall kinds would be III
terrupted. the effects of which none OF
rs can foretell. We want increased
business, rapid exchanges, and new ell
terprises. Until we have these the
demands for the products OF the farms
and the factories will be limited and low
prices for these products will prevail.

History teaches us that the r"'lo Oh

Silver is called the poor mans money
II Wa should have free coinage, 1t would
certainly be the poor mans moneys lie
would have no other and its purchasing
power would be greatly decreased. The
poor man wants the very best money
that ne can get. He wants the dollar
that will buy as many of the necessaries
of life for his family as possible. lie
wants to exchange an honest day g work
for an honest dollar. He does not want
TO give a dollars worth Of labor for a %
cent dollar. It would be the poor mans
dollar because he would be compelled to
take that or nothing.
II is rather the merchants dollar who
with lead pencils can increase the
price Of his goods as fast as the free
silver dollar depreciates. The poor man
and the farmer can not do this.
