That the present financial system Of the
United states, which increases or diminishes

the revenue of the Government to specu-
late with In bonds and loan to the national
banks without interest, Ia subversive Of the
rights OF the people, oppressive. unjust and
should be repudiated.
That financial policy whereby both gold and
silver shall form the basis of circulation
whether the money used by the people be coin.

Tnat the attempt to substitute national bank
notes. costing tbs Government millions of dol.

Is an outrage upon the people; that the money
ring or trust, which has usurped the sovereign
power Of the Government to issue money aud
which hiss fraudulently demcnetized silver and
seized the revenues Of the Government for
private speculation, shocks the moral sense Of
the people and destroys respect for the govern.
nient aud law. We demand that th.s ring or
trust b. destroyed, and equal rights be restored

OF labor aud property.
That we favor the nomination Of no man for
