If any advocate of the free coinage of
„,lver dollars or copper dollars or iron
dollars at any ratio, 16 to 1, more of
less, will agree to stop there and ask
nothing more, I for one am prepared to
meet him, and in that way to stoi the
present contest. Who would want them?
Not one of these men will consent to
free coinage on those terms. Not one of
them would be satisfied. Not one of
i them would then get what lie is after
under the pretext that free coinage and
i "equal rights of gold and silver" are all
i that he wants. I challenge any one to
find an advocate of free coinage at 10 to
1 on these simple terms—that both gold
and silver should be treated alike; that

I challenge any advocate of free coinage
to deny that free coinage, pure and sim-
ple, is not what he demands, and not
one of them will dare to meet this chal-
lenge.
This demand for free coinage is a
cotton cover intended to conceal the true pur-
pose of those who ask it. "Most of those
who support this measure have been de-
