WHAT is THE OBJECT7
IN y, a y,niia Cantipa1


Men and brethren. when we indulge in
the popular recreation of discussing tho
silver question let MS try TO be rational.
There are numbers OF gold bugs circu-
lattng about the coui try and assaulijng
unprotected people with the question; III
you melt down silver dollar what will
II be worth?'
What difference does II make?
Did you ever melt down u silver dol
lar?
DO you know any person who ever did
melt down a dollar. except a 1eweler or
q burglar?
DO You expect at any time IN the fu-
ture TO melt down a silver dollar?
is there any law, or any prospect of a
law compelling anybody TO melt down IA
silver doiiar?
Why should anybody want to melt down
A silver dollar that Ia not melted down
is much handler ito carry, especially In
warm weather.
II a ieweler wants silver he can buy
100 cents worth for a silver dollar with
out doing any melting.
So can any one else who has any use
fof silver bullion.
A patent once said to a physician:
Doctor. II ] twist my neck this way
1t gives ME. an awful pain"
Does II hurt you if you don't twist
h?' asked the doctor
Then don twist II and lou viii h,'c
