NO More Bonus w dnteO-
WASHINGTON, May 24--The Bimetal-
lie league yesterday considered the re-
port of the committee on resolutions.

further issue of interest bearing bonds,
that before casting their votes for
congressman the members of the
league will require assurances OF
adherence to the free coinage OF
silver and gold and at a 10 to
ratio. and a pledge that IL
bill providing for such coinage is passed
by congress and vetoed by the presi-
dent. they will work for and vote to
pass the bill over the presidents veto;
that IL the election of president Is
thrown into the house they will vote
only for the person in favor of free
coinage; denounce the present system
of national banks as the monumental
monopoly of the nineteenth century.

system of currency that will insure
per capita circulation of $50, to be
made up by the free coinage of silver
AMI gold at 16 to 1, and the issue of
treasury notes: assert the discontinue
ance of the issuance of the silver money
and the repletion of the treasury by
bond issues is burdensome on the
masses; declare that it is the duty of
the secretary of the treasury to coin
the bullion now in the treasury and to
pay interest on the public debt with
silver. and demand the issue of $780,
eo0, 600 of non-interest-bearing notes of
small denominations.

alleged had burdened the people by
benefiting the creditor class at the ex-
pense of the producing class. the issue
of interest-bearing bonds and demone-
tization of silver being especially de-
nounced.
Speech making was the order of the
day. Col. Fiske. of Denver, advocated

means of assisting the people.
