Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t o'cnpied
previous to the passage On the
Mint Act OF 1873, is essential TO
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
consid erations. The legislation
which robbed silver of It's money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage Of gold.
