of its history passing through crises, and
after each crisis was better off than before
it entered it, and now We arc at another
crisis. We arc told on one hand that If
gold is kept as standard and silver is not

this nation will rise triumphant from all

affecting us On the other hand, we are
told that if the free coinage Of silver is al

chance and all our Industries will begin to
hum and roar. During the last six pres
