170. Silver demonetized by Fraud!

For my part I do not ask any interference on the part of the government

except to undo the wrong it has done. I do not ask that money be made

out of nothing. I do not ask for the prosperity born of paper. But I do

ask for the remonetization of silver. Silver was demonetized by fraud.

It was an imposition upon every solvent man; a fraud upon every honest

debtor in the United States. It assassinated labor. It was done in the

interest of avarice and greed, and should be undone by honest men.
