silver as money. and restored to the people
the silver dollar of our fathers, which the
Republican Congress demonetized in 1873, y
denouncing the Sherman act of 1899 as false
IN principle, as dangerous IN practice, and

circulate as money with parity maintained
and with equal rights and equal value We
submit to the wisdom of the Democratic
party about to assemble in national conven-
ton TO declare the method by which that
end may be reached" The platform de-
clares that the last Republican national
