Discussion of hequestions which
arise concerning the circulating

to silver that only few are left

by an advocate of the white metal
is: You're acrank or lunatic. .

Guile we're considered quite the
proper thing by goldite editors and
spell-binders, but that time has
very nearly passed. There are,
however, few narrow minded men
in this country who cling to the
old method or procedure. but in
their unreasoning abuse they harm
no one except themselves and their
cause.
Facts are more convincing than
fustain, and bimetalists, having the
facts ON their side are spreading
conviction broadcast among the
people. When the fact is stated
that all the gold in the world would
furnish but $3.50 per capita, the
reply discourteous that the man
who states the fact is a ''crank or a
lunatic loses force. It is good
economy to conduct the business
of the world on limited capital.
What would be thought of a mer-
chant who would endeavor TO make
a success of his enterprise on one
tenth of the amount of capital it
required? The oddities would be
fully justified in characterizing
such a man as "crank or luna
