Alleged Decentralization of siIve-.

Now, what is the battle cry OF the
silver fanatic who will not listen to
the voice OF reason or experience?
They saw that they dsmonetlzed sill
yer in 1873 and they want to restore
the money of the fathers and of the
constitution. What silly twaddle
this is. In 1873 there was no silver
to demonetizs At that time silver
was at u premium. IL was worth,
that is, the bullion in silver dol
lar was worth 1913, and no one took
1t to the minis 10 Gin it. Then
the mine owners did not want free
coinage. When silver commenced
tn fall after the great discovery of
silver deposits in the West then the
clamor for free CO mage commences,
and the lower the price the greater
the clamor. This shows what a
fraudulent subterfugc it is to claim
that demonct'z on in 1873, when
silver WAS AT "a premium and out OF
oircula ion. justlfies remonetiz .tion
in 1896, when silver, 10y reason Of
Its enormous production, has de
clined 10 one-half of its value in
1878. repeat the assertion which
have made in Congress before,
without contradiction. that there ia
no one in existence who in the year
1873 saw silver dollar in circula-
ton except, perhaps. as Il memento
or souvenr. The United States
coined more silver dollars in three
months after 1873 than it did in
the whole century that preceded it.
So when they talk about the money
OF the constitution. they are deceIv.
ing the people, because there never
would have been constitution If
the trainers of that instrument had
ever been engaged in the counter
feiting scheme Of putting the en-
blem of the republic uron dollar
repudiated by all the civilized mar.
