Congress passed the following resolution,
which is to be sent to tho United States
Congress:
We declare the responsibility for the bullion
IN the silver dollars now coined being Of less
intrinsic value than The bullion in gold DOL
laIS rests solely with those who remonetiZed
sl!EeE and forced the people to accept the laws
ol 1873 and 1890, by which the free coinage
OF SILVER has been denied and the purchase Of
puuIlH py the ,G0Nernnent IN the lowest
markets OF the world substituted instead, and
declare our unalterable convictions based
upon sound econmy principles and the actual
experience Of the world between 1880 and
1850, that the renonctiZation OF silver by the
Ghlteu states 81 the existing ratio viii speed.
liy restore the intrinsic value of the silver
dollar 10 that OF the gOId dollar.
While we demand that the intrinsic value
OF the gold and silver dollar shall be eluaI we
protest against test OF the value as to silver
being made while silver money is debased and
the Government engaged under the existing
laws III depressing the value of bullion by
purchasing ii in the lowest markets.
we declare the free biInetalIic coinage of
gold and silver at an existing ratio to be the
most important public question now unset
tea IN the United states, and as long us there
Is q iacN OF sound metal money upon which
10 DO Tie business OF the country, and upon
which TO base full ana fair volume of Gov

That II IS only by clearly discerning the rI2ht

stead of waiting Till next year it was de-
cided to hold a session at Salt Lake on
December Sd, before the meeting of the
electoral college.
Before adjournment Francis G.. New
lands Of Nevada, President of the Min
ing Congress, addressed tho convention
on the subject Of Independence of Presi-
dental elections. He said that he was
a Republican, but that his loyalty was
due not to the Republican party of
Massachusetts or New York, but to the
Republican party of Nevada; that the
latter party had never yet hesitated 20
instruct its Representatives TO act inde-
Gependcntly of party if necessary in the
interest Of silver, upon which as an in
dustry the prosperity OF the State de-
pended; that silver was on the decline,
and would continue to decline if full
monetary use was nOt restored, which
could only be done by free coinage: that
the Republican party had a bimetaIlic
plank in its platform intended to have
one meaning in the East and another in
the West.
In the East it was intended to mean
free coinage of gold and limited coinage
Of silver. In the West, free coinage for
both. All the West demanded was in
case that after twenty years OF agitation
and discussion the free coinage bill should
hereafter be passed, the popular viii
should not be defeated by Presidential
veto. The platform of both parties was
equivocal on this subject, and before the
West cast its vote for a Presidential can
diGate it had right TO require from him
an explicit avowal on the subject. If be-
fore the next election the question could
be settled by an international conference
or otherwise, the successful Electors
from these States would cast their votes
for their party candidate.
