The Money QucStion.
Mr.. Hart then entered Into discussion
OF the silver question and referred
the fact that to-day we have gold. sill
yer and paper rs circulating mediums.
Uncle Sam for the first time drives
yellow and white horse In the same
harness. Under Thomas JeGSrS0n's
administration the coinage Of the silver
dollar was stopped for thirty years.
And still no person ever accused that
patron saint OF the Democratic party
as being Unconstitutional" Under
Jackson the double standard would
not work although It was tried. So
they had 60 resort TO the use Of paper
money. But eighteen years ago Con-
Errss passed the resumption act, and
since then We have had gold. silver
and paper In circulation. and all Of
them worth their face value and that's
Just what We intend shall continue.
