frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
Of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as money
Of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court Of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either

gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
