that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t 'cLpied
previous to the passage o. the
/ Mint Act or 1878, is e1.ial to
the prosperity Of the , ~ and
paramount to all 9th routical
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of it., n10ney
functions and denied to the owner
! Of silver bullion the right to nave
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage OF gold,
reduced the money OF ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable In
money to monopollze the com OF
the commercial world.

ditions which apply to the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed tc
elevating any person 10 office VINO
