The possibility OF effective work by

Mr. Bryan's judgment should be at fault? Could the
terrible consequences of such error be properly est

without making it legal tender and compelling people
to accept it, whether they wanted to not the result
might not be disastrous. But Mr. Bryan and his
party do not offer this choice They propose force
