expressed the following views:
"To our mind this money question is of
more Importance than the preservation of'par-
ties or the retention of the services of unruly
leaders. The Democratic party of the nation
will experience no difficulty in finding bold
and able leaders who are in sympathy with
the masses on the money question. But the
people intend to settle this money question at
the polls, and they do not intend to cease in
their efforts until the greenback policy has
triumphed. The Presidential candidate on
the Democratic ticket will be nominated by
the West and South. That Western or South
ern man who fancies he can conciliate the
conflicting views of the Eastern and South
Western people upon the money question must
be beside HIMSELF
A convention of those who favor unlimit-
ed paper currency was held at Detroit, Mich
igau, last week, and the following resolutions
we're adopted as expressing the sentiments Of
the Western inhationists:
l. That the people owe to the government
at all times, and in all emergencies, loan of
money adequate to its needs, at rate of in
terest so low as to be the least possible bur-
den, and to offer the least possible competition
to private enterprise.
2. The government owes to the people all
absolutely safe and uniform currency, adapt
ed to their various needs in amount, and of
value not materially different from that Of
other civilized nations.
3. That the providing of a currency for the
,oor1o - ,n rihnto e cnyoraiuOtv and Wp
demand that the government Of the United
States shall perform this duty in such man
ner as to furnish the public an amount OF
currency adequate to the business require
ments Of the country, and independent of the
action Of banks or other private corporations.
4. That we are neither repudiatonists nor
inHationists, but the friends of safe, sound
and reliable currency that we propose to re-
deem the greenback circulation of the United
States, at the pleasure Of the holders thereof,
in bonds of the United States, bearing a low
rate OF interest, convertible 1T the pleasure Of
the holders into greenbacks, thus redeeming
the original promise of the government when
it first issued grecnbacks, to fund them when
desired, into an interest-paying bond.
5. That we arc in favor of the issue of Uni
ted States certificates or bonds, bearing inter
est not to exceed 3 IS per cent per annum,
to the amount equal to the whole government
debt; said bonds or certificates being change
able and interchangeable with grcenbacks at
par on demand.
6. That the legal money of the country
should be endowed with the power to pay all
debts, public and private, except that portion
of the bonded Indebtedness especially made
payable in coin.
7. That as the enactment of last Congress
providing for resumption of specie payments
in 1879 is mpracticable and impossible of ex-
ecution, and is disastrous in its effects upon
the business of the country, we demand its
immediate and unconditional repeal.
8. That the plan of government currency
proposed by this convention would, in our
opinion, tend to render our government and
people independent financially, of foreign in
huences or complications, and not subject
hereafter, as heretofore, to the disturbing coll
troll of foreign nations.
9. That we recommend the organization of
greenback clubs in every State in the Union
for the purpose of carrying out the principles
and measures set forth in the foregoing reso-
lutions,
