were cast in Nevada for the Mckinley

QUESTIONS ABOUT MONEY.
Three Queries and Their Answers
silver Demonetixed In 1873
on the SLY.
A. Mullarly, Illinois. asks: 1. Did

n. Mu4itTkN, iliHoiN- H"nss - 49,
Jefferson demonetize silver?
Answcr-No. jefferson and the 9TH
-er founders of the repuvnc were BIZ
metallists and established the broad
err monetary base in the two metals.
Silver was not dcmonetized until 1873,
when il was done on the sly. The
congressman who voted for the meas
urc. which was incorporated in
lengthy bill regulating the mint, did
not know that they were demonetizing
silver.
.. WHY is IL our national banks fail
and our grecnbacks never did. both
being a government institution?
Answer-The national bank itself is
not backed by the government. Inc
government only stands responsible
for its note issues. 1t expects the
banks, however. to keep it posted on
their financial condition. The differ
.ence between a greenback and ma
t.onal bank note is that the former
ia legal tender and issued by the gov
eminent directly to the people, while
the latter is nonlcgal tender and u
issued by the banks and guaranteed
hv the government, the banks beini
required to deposit an equal amour
OF bonds in the treasury TO Safeguard
the government for guaranteeing TN
notes. The banks make proht Oh
these note issues.

suits are the most important.

These mills are owned by English
French and German capitalists and
