VERMONT REPUBLICANS
"We favor the continued and ex-
tended use of silver in our circulation,
within the extent ofthe ability OF the

mercial nations to secure the free

Is 10 /, without waiting for the aid
or consent OF any other nation on
earth.e
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
We believe iu sound money and thu
use of both gold aud silver as stand
ard money and that the purchasing
aud debt-paying power Of the dollar
whether OF gold, silver or paper, shal
at all times be equal as pledged In th,
national Republican platform at Min
neapolis.

We declare that the consistent
courageous and inhexible determine
ton of Democratic President to re
tain the credit of the government lei
minated 9 financial panic, restores
confidence and composed disturbc'
values. We are opposed 10 the reck
less imitation Of the currency to VA
per capita demanded by the Republ
can State Convention of 1891 all
1894 and while we favor the circt
lation Of constitutional money, gol
and silver at a parity of value, We ar
unallcrably opposed to any debas'
ment of the currency or to the depr'
citation of any dollar issued by th
government to the people.

Cleveland, the. public services OF

stations, in all things that they ha,
done to give force and effect to u

We again declare our loyalty to th'
time-honored principle of the Dem
cratic party which favors honest mont
the gold and silver coinage provide
By tho constitution of the Unite
States, and currency convertible
such coinage without loss TO the holde
We insist that justice TO all citizens r
quires a strict adherence to this Dem
cratic principle, and demand that q
: government shall spare no effort
bring about q proper ratio betwe'
tho values of gold and silver, so tn
: parity may be maintained between u
two metals, and all mints thrown OPP
to free coinage.
ARKANSAS DEMOCRATS.
We still consider the act of 1S1
whereby silver was demonetized,
, the greatest legislative crime OF t
century, aud demand the free aud II
limited coinage Of both gold and silv
, at q ratio of 16 TO l, as i. then exlstt
