denly discovered; what would be the
attitude of the banks and the "money
power" toward gold? Would they then
consider the relation between products
and gold on important matter? When

OF course it was overwhelmingly defeated
the Baily Democrats voting with the Re-
publicans, but all who had been protest
ing against the inaction OF the house
rallied to the support Of Lewis.
