We can offer 50 cent# worth °f mea t and $2 worth erf Portuguese three percent goldbfmds in exchange for a silver dollar. Our patrons say the must a. e good, as Portugal has been on gold standard sine. e 1853—twenty years before the other enlightened nation' s of Europe —aud its national debt has only increased 100 per cent, without- any war since that date. Average tvages paid all citizens in Portugal is 17 cents pt,. * day. In your letter you say all we meed is “a little gold, im ~ proved banking facilities" and “confidence." Portugal has a “little gold," the world has had its “improved banking facilities" since 1853, and we can supply the “confidence," so the bonds are certainly good. We can continue to give you 50 cents tvorth of meat and $2 of Portuguese gold bonds after Bryan is e}ected. Will you continue to give 50 cents worth of meat and a Mexican dollar in exchange for an American silver, dollar after Bryan is elected? Yours Truly, Columbian Meat Market, Peru, Ind. P. S.
