as it Is useless, he says, "to expect either ei
the old parties to espouse this new Issue "
Uea. Weaver takes it ft granted, taai
the people whom he addresses are intensely
ignorant upon this question wbea be talis
la this style. Ia the first place it is? net a
new issue," for the Democratic party has
not anlyvocatedjjit buy securad a very
large iacrease ia the volume of eurreacy

He conceals the fact that the platform

If yen. Weaver had aaid it is ueelese to
look to tbe Bepublieaa party to espouse
thi issue he would have spoken tke truth,
for that party Is tisd to the Kauonni naaae,
