The Democratic platform # Ohio de-
ciares for tn freo and unlimited COINAGE
OF tho silver of tho world. The Kepubh-
can piGtUrm stands IN opposition To any,
thing snort Of iull and complete dollar.
and approves If the legislation of the last

Tie projection Of silver. Tho free coinage

pASGrR or TDFg COINAGE
We have not been able 10 secure an in
ternat;oual ratio which all tho nations OF
the world would adopt, and Nth free coin
axe the United Stslcs would be stu
further removed from any international
aCreemout. Nations which are on a silver
tas,s alone arc tie poorest nations of the
world nld are in constant financial DIS
tUIOauce snd monetary disorder. The
danger II free coinage has been pointed
cut over and over aca!n by the leading
Statesmen # 10th political parties and no
orc has spoken 9th GREATER ability on the
Democratic si7e than ex-Pre,ldent

Cared Tat while he lad lis doubts

chance free coinage. Under the present
condition the country cannot afford to
chance IT, Ii there Is to he any profit IL
the tree cottage - silver 1t should go 10
the Government. as IT has ever since the
Biand-Alllson oci. This new declaration
would take II from the, Government and
give Il % the silvcr-pro1uccr. No class If
people would suher 90 much from the

a.rlcuituust. / I'm In favor OF the double
standard. but an not in favor of free and
unlimited coinage until the nations OF the
world JOIN u IN guaranteeing to silver a
status which thor laws now accord TO gold.
