The National silver Convention
held in st. Louis, Missouri, Nov. 2Gtl,
9th and 2Sth, 1892 adopted this
preamble and resolution;
WuGRgAs, 1t is their deliberate
opinion that the decentralization Of
silver has worked practical viola
ton Of every contract then existing
in the United States, entalled I'm
w1nted losses, reduced prices more
than 30 per cent, and lis effect is
practically 60 make debts perpetual,
as il takes from the debtor the ability
TO pay; that it caused contraction
of currency which reduces values un-
Gil there Is no pGotit left 70 the farm
or, planter or men OF small capital
who depend upon the sale Of their
products for returns Of their labor.
that we believe the certificate Of tho
Government, backed, dollar for dol.
lar, by gold and silver coin on ,lepos
il in the Treasury Of the United
States, is safe and sound currency
and has heen approved by tho poo
Pile; that, considering tina contraction
caused by tho surrender of Nationa
bank notes dunng the last thrc,
years and the vast sums that must hl
collected by The cancellation of Coy
ornment bonds DUNG the next three
years, the necessity OF restoring sill
yer is as manifest as Is the Justice al
such policy; that the gold and sill,
yer of the West, pouring in u stead,
stream upon the East for forty years
vtali1ed every form Of business Their,
and steadied and upheld the credit o
the Nation through the great war ant
mado assumption possible, and tina
which we now demand is as mucl
more To tho interest Of the East thar
Of the West, as the productions o
the East exceed in value the proiue
lions Of the West; That we beliey,
in the equal rights of gold aud silye
aud free coinage for both, and that n,
nation over had or will have too mucl
gold aud silver coin; now, therefore
be il
Resolved. That the Ftfty-fr5t Con

ton to provide, at its first session, fo
the opening Of the minis for free
and unlimited coinage of standard
silver dollars OF the present weigh
and fneness, TO be a legal tender lo
all debts, public and private, equa
with gold, aud that until such pro
