GENTLY learned, il not by study, at least
by experience, that the system OF a
double standard is not only fallacy'
but an impossibiIity, in assuming a
fixed relation between the values OF two
different products, gold and silver
A careful consideration of the facts
will convince any candid man that what
has been denounced as "horrible crime
was simply the discontinuance OF the
useless coinage of a dollar, when
was coined at government expense ano
was used, not as circulating medium
but for manufacturing purposes De-
cause manufacturers found them to be
cheaper than silver bullion. The COINS
were not demonetized by that la"
because they have the same legal tende'
qualities that they had for the preyiou'
twenty years. The horrible crime oil -
found its birth and existence in the
brains OF men who over twenty years
after the enactment of the law, learned
that silver had been demonetized.
