Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place It 9 'enpied
previous TO the passage o. the
Mint Act of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislation

of silver bullion the righJ to have

the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage OF gold.

money and obligations payable In
money to monopolize tho coin OF
the commercial world.

age of silver upon tie same con.
ditions which apply to the coinage
