gold and silver on equal termss and a
different banking system than that pro-

retire the greenbacks, issue bonds to

bearing debt into an Interest bearing
debt and turn over to the national banks
the right to issue the only paper money.

very dangerous and one that win be
hotly contested in the next congress. II
they do this, 1t viii serve as one Of the
issues o. the coming campaign and
don't believe that on that score they can
win."
