method OF determining this question
is by weighing the milk and testing

commercial relations with one another

a delusion and it is folly to even think
about 1t, for many good reasons.
The fact is, a great wrong was
perpetrated upon all producers when
silver was struck down and the most
severe blow was struck by the Cleve-
land democratic administration. But
this wrong should and must be
1ghted no matter who opposes it,
there is no other way out of the pres
ent difficulty III our trade relations
with silver standard countries or in
competing against them in the mar
kets Of Europe.
If We coin all the gold and silver
we can produce into money we will
still be far short Of enough money to
meet the increasing demands Of COM
merce and progress. The same fact
and principle applies to the CONNER
cial progress Of all other countries in
the world.
