depends wholly upon Its being
mouitizsd or demOnltized, Congress
has IL Ia it's power to convert the
pig iron that now sells at Q very
low price into a valuable meta
worth S1.00 per ounce. Everybody
can get plenty Of it and all that is

The E ltor Of the Union says;
"What this country needs and
what the people are cIamOrlhg for
is to put II circulation silver dol
lars OF equal amber with gold
dollars at a ratio Of 10 to l Which
equals their value, or i'll other

as clear as NAL. Wash every

Union going to make it worth Que

have said that he is IN favor OF
making every leaf on our forest

then everybody could have plenty

In answer to our friends QueS

dollars haye passed through the

quantity of silver, paying one
dollar for every fifty cents worth
to become bankrupt rbe credit of

when you destroy her credit you
ruin her people. Brother, you
don't want any fifty cent dollars.
Thepeople don't want them. Why
do you contend for them! Tht
idea that money could be made OF
nothing was exploded years ago
The idea that you eau make a lol
lar out of fifty cents worth o.
silver will be exploded as soon as
you give it a practical trial.
In the limited amount now In
circulation, a fifty cent dollar
passes for one dollar because
the government stands ready
TO redeem it III gold. Its
value Is not dependent upon the
value OF the silver in 1t any more
than the value of FIVE hundred
dollar note is dependent upon the
value OF the paper upon which it
is printed.
II you favor putting one dollars
worth of silver in every silver

is pat in every gold dollar, you
will have a currency OF which you
can say; 'every dollar is worth a
