enact laws providing for the free and
unrestricted coinage Of that metal.
Resolved, That the rest oration of

gious to the passage of the Mint Act
of 1873 is essential to the prosperity
of the country and paramount to all
other political considerations.
Resolved, That the people of Ne

silver upon the same conditions that
apply to the coinage of gold, and
they are opposed to eleyating any
