It is often the forerunner Of serious ILL

troubles. 1t is a positive proof of thin,

rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it inn
parts life and energy to every nerve,

ADMITS THE WRONG.
If a great wrong had been done in
1873, IL had been righted in 1878 un-
der the Bland-Allison act. There had
been coined prior to the year 1873
only 5000, % standard dollars and
only s15O.OOO, 900 silver coined in all.
$500, ,0aO,nO0 had been put in circu-
latiOn OF silver since then. This had
all been done under the gold standard.
HOW TO GET MONEY OUT.
A man on the street who had COM
plained a great deal about shutting
silver out OF the mints, but had never
had an ounce OF silver bullion to sell
IN his life. The money was all right.
Just put II in sight. 1t was in the
banks. Where else should it be. We
could not compel men to put money
In circulation. We must in some way
induce them to do It,.
If they would let up on these
threats against capital, times would
get better much faster.
You could not force anyone to put
up woolen mill or an iron foundry
by law. This threatening had to stop
or prosperity could never be restored.
Here Sam Clark interjected a speech
Of his own for the gold standard.
10. Fones said a man had asked why
the trade dollar circulated at only So
cents, when it was bigger than the
silver dollar?
Geer: Because it was kind of
orphan. [Laughter.l
DOES UP MEXICO.
Mr.. Geer here gave the usual gold
standard argument against the Mexi-
can silver dollar. The Mexican gold
dollar was as good as the dollar Of the

did not need to be redeemed. He was
not ashamed to be called goldbug

lenged anyone to show where the
fathers Of our country had ever de-
parted from the commercial ratio be-
tween the two metals. Eight to one,
or one to one was as logical as 16 TO l. |
MORE QUESTIONS.

Q. Why Is not the silver dollar

trying to show that the farmers had
no good reason to complain of low
prices OF products.

Men, who believe in 4 sound and stable
