account of his desire that his views
should be made known to the Ameri
can people. The Swedish journalist

Apart from the political aspects Of
the coinage question, all our people,
men and women, should know the fun
damental facts concerning the monetary
systems of the world. They should know
especially the history of our own coin
age. In the writings of Hamilton and
Jefferson and the speeches of Webster
are plain teachings which are as applj-
cable now as when they were written
or spoken. All young Americans should
be familiar with them. Sound Money.
