to eraet laws providing for the
free and Uerestrieted coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That TIE restoration
OF silver To the place it occupied
previous to the passage Of the
Miut Act Of 1915, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount TO all other political
considerations The legislation
which robbed silver Of its money
functions and deni J TO the owner
of silver bullion tie right to have
the same coined into money upon,
the some terms and conditions

The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senators and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free ana unlimited coinage Of sill
Yer at the preseht ratio of Is to /,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
miners, farmers, Ltbo1crs and me-
chanics.

the present ratio OF 16 TO |.

unaltelably opposed to the Nation

coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma

United States. and especially to
those of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, ard
we therefore repu1iate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
