Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs of Every Day
Professors informed us that when silver wandered Away from our shores and was strange to the mint, That metal alone was of prices the standard, And boosted the laborer's wage without stint. But when it came back and the government bought it In hundreds of tons, - oh, the woe and the shame The government's help into disrepute brought it, That old silver dollar of Popocrat fame.
