,uic, 56l; in favor Of committees plank 3i2.
Mr.. Patterson of Colorado then secured the
floor and offered an amendment to the COM
mttcc's silver plank, which Is rs follows;
We dcnouncc the Republican legislation
known as the Sherman act OF 1890 as a cow
nrdly makeshift, fraught with possibilities Of
danger IN the future which should make all
its supporters, rs well As its author, anxious
for It's speedy repeal. We hold to the use of
both gold and silver rs the standard money Of
this country, and to the coinage Of both gold
and silver without discrimination against
either metal or charge for mintagc, but lie
dollar unit Of both metals I.usi be OF equal In
irinSir -,-..nadecable value, or TO be nd,
justcd by international agreement or by such
safeguards Of legislation as shall insure the
maintenance Of the parity OF Che two metals
and the equal power Of any dollar nj all times
In the market and IN the payment Of debts:
and We demand that all paper currency shall
be kept at par with and rcdccmablc In such
coin. We insist upon this policy rs especially
necessary for the protection Of the farmers
and laborlng classes, the first and most de-
fcnscless victims OF unstable money and
huetuatlng currency.
