Whj, heasktJ had silver bullion been selected as a losis for that new puiicr moutjT It was becau-e the (Ublic mind rested iu the tielirf Hint soont. or later silver bullion would lie coined and become a part of the metallic curicucA.

It was because President Cleveland wasan Kastcni man, a New York mau, who did not sympathize w Ith the majority of his tarty on that question.
