Thomas jefferson, the apostle of De-

as early as 1889, deprecated the omission of
provision in our national Constitution
against slavery. Subsequent events. which
called for the shedding of an ocean of pa
triotic blood. the expenditure of millions
of the peoples treasure and the hanging
of Nations life in the balance. have dem
onstrated the accuracy of his prophetic
vision. So. too, his great mind clearly saw
the value of a constitutional provision
against monopoly. and he argued with all
the ardor of his soul against the dangers
likely TO come TO his Nation through the
selfish combinations of capital ard wealth.
But his inspired intellect was never more
luminous with truth than it was when, in
advance of Jackson, he insisted that the
unit of value must stand upon both metals;
that the power TO issue currency was linn
tied TO Congress. and that banks OF issue
