Well. then. i. is in order for the rEMocRAT

follows:
First, repeal The Sherman silver purchas-
ing act. Second, pass a law providing for
the free coinage of silver bullion. the pro-
duct of the mines of the United States,
Third, pass stringent law against ths
importation or coinage Of foreign ballior
or foreign coin. Pass graduated income

over 5000. s5eo0 or $4,000. Pass tariff
law in harmony with the Chicago platform
and The problem is solved. We believ'
that The United States can float at par al
silver produced in the miEes of the Unitet
States provided foreign silver bullion and
silver is excluded from American coinage
No silver should be coined that will no
pass as current as gold dollar, We be
lieve that the legis alton suggested abos,
