wanted that, and all Of them, as a rule,
had plenty Of advice and criticism to

receive them with respectful courtesy,
but sometimes it was not easy for him
to retain his good temper.
"How many men have the Confeder-

"Yes, sir, reiterated Lincoln. "there

The voters Of this country are putting
on their thinking caps and there Is reason
to believe that their conclusions will be in
accordance with sound economic prinoi
pies and that their votes will Us cast for
that policy which will lead to prosperity.
Some may be temporarily deceived by the
cry OF free silver, but the greater number
after viewing the matter In all Its bearings
will see the injustice Of the proposition to
permit the owners Of So cents worth Of
bullion to exchange it at the mint for 81.
This exchange might do well enough for
the owners Of silver mines, but II kept up
any great length Of time, the gold In tie
Treasury would become exhausted, and
the silver dollar would eventually fall to
the price Of bullion, say to So cents.
This fall would DO attended with great
Inconvenience, II 1t did not produce fl.
nanoial panic that would bankrupt thous.
Ands Of the debtor class Through the
foreclosure Of mortgages, property would
be sacrificed and the sheriff would be the
busiest man in the community
Many men who have their property half
paid for, would find themselves penuiless,
II compelled TO make immediate payment.
That policy should therefore, be adopted
that promises to promote confidence that
puts the wheels of industry In motion.
and leads to the constant employment Of
the laboring classes at fair wages. All
honest gain must come through labor and
men who expect to get rich through free
coinage, except they own silver mine.
