THE FREE SILVER PROPOSITION
Let US now examine the free silver proposition.
i is simply this: 0pen the mints to everybody.
Permit the owners OF SILVER 10 Drlag IN ~; grains
them Clothe that dollar with legal tender quality
| so that it may be lawfully used to pay debts. That
| is all II is simple enough, isn't it? But know
! that one dollar of present kind of money-the
| money I'm which you paid your salaries and
| your wages-is worth not S7114 grains. but
| than 500 grains. Would you not rather have the
| equivalent Of 500 grains for your pay than the
| equivalent of 3714 grains?
| gramme, If BRYAN and his Democratic Populistic-
| Silveristic supporters come into power that pro-
gramme will be adopted and you will inevitably get
| your pay the dollars, containing 37iA grains
| of fine silver Before you vote for this sort OF
| business be wise enough 10 get stipulation from
| your employers that you shall then be paid as
| you are now paid in something equivalent to 500
| grains of silver. If you do not do you will get
the equivalent of only S7lA grains for every dollar
paid you. Can you afford It?

WOULD MAKE PARITY IMPOSSIBLE.
There is another point yet noticed of the
weightiest considera ton. When the silver bullion
now owned by the Government shall be fully coined
there will be outstanding in the form Of silver
