autive committee shows the attitude of these money reformers si long 0 n as a considerable minority ot of our citizens are not certain that our present standard of value I 1 is superior to that of mexico and other silver ilver standard countries while they believe that we can by free coil coinage lage L I 1 legislation double the price 0 of I 1 s silver ilver 1 while they think that atiat money or more money of iny adv kind will bring about prosper ty tv ur or hile they are unable to see that by noting N doting ea to repudiate honestly debts they are cursing thema anc their state and their counti there is 0 great need of edu cati r r it i the fundamental principle ait money and currency this committee proposes to continue the flip fi fight n ht for honest money until the ranks of the free silver and fiat money forces are so thin that chev will not be a barrier to industry and prosperity hy are these autocrats exercising min themselves so much over the ig ignorance of the silver advocates chev ahey won the light fight za in the late elect election ion and the silver people submitted graciously in the result N never ever mind you vou demi gods of the east there is as much intelligence in the heads of the silver advocate with reference to the fundamental da principles of money and curr nev bicy as there is within your cramins cra crai muns nuns the fact which troubles you i t that fiat truth crushed to earth will rie ne a again ain while error wounded writhes writhe in pain and dies amid his worshipers th thel the e sound money people are am dead right Z in in stating that there is a conid considerable conn krable erable minority of the citizens citizen who are not certain that our present standard of value is superior to that ali at of mexico and other silver niver standard conn countries tries and their anxiety is is due to the fact that unless they can blind and hoodwink the people that in four years hence this considerable minority will have hare n grown rown into a large majority it iq i true is it not that re straits can be thrown about any commodity by means of legislation so as a to d deprive such commodity of its real or full value that very thin lias las been done to silver by cutting t 0 off ff the demand silver was just a good as your gald before a legislative embargo was placed on it all that we ask is that the legislative body remove the barrier and then and not till then V will ill virtue vii tue and prosperity coar into our ar factories farms c commerce om merce and industries legislation hm has dried UP the fertilizing tide and now we are sitting n amid the ruins thee the e apostles of sound money pro propose poe to wage the fight they say it imail the ranks of the saver forces are no u thiu that they will not be a barrier to ti ind industry and prosperity we e w want aut to ask has kept industry and 1 prosperity hora from our doors for so M lasian I 1 yC years 1 prior to the co commencement af ty Ks silver fight h ta 0 0 yo you g of f facts you von wolves in a ing ati gt it is impossible for 3 Z ceide us you are mhd ene ma es of the masses eject is in in their enslavement you are am the special friends of those kid gloved gentlemen of wall and Isom lombard bard streets who are parasites upon industry and trade the sheet which these reformers sent us among other things contains a picture of a hammer and anvil and under the iame same the following if you lay a gold dollar on the anvil and hammer it out of shape it is still worth 1 if you do a silver dollar the same way you hammer 46 cents out of it and it is worth its bullion value only or 54 cents if that be true then every time the government stamps an ounce of silver it puts 46 cents into it the most that it could cost to coin a dollar is one cent therefore there is 45 cents to be accounted for somewhere perhaps the following f from rom the same instructive sheet can account for it 1 I no country can prosper that habitually tells a lie if the united states stamps the lie this is 1 on pieces of silver worth 58 53 cents it will have taken the first step away from the straight path of national truth and honor putting these two statements together you would be teachers tell us where the government of the united states is today we may need Il education on the fundamental principles of money and currency but lord deliver us from such teachers so in conclusion we will wih advise those eastern gold bugs to keep their cloudy and bungling literature at hl acme me for the silver people know from whence they receive their light there is not a silver paper even in the backwoods which could not teach those sound money people monetary truths teacher the next lesson |
