 The delegates of the democratic party of the Seventh Congressional district of Ala bama, iu convention assem bed at Gull man, Septem Der 1, 1894, do affirm our alle- glance to the principles laid down in the Chicago platform of 1892, accepting and adhering to that interpretation that the voters understood and placed upon it at the election in November, 1892.
 Believing the money question to be the most essential and paramount issue to be settled by the people of the United States, we adopt the following resolutions as our views on this question:
 money, the gold and silver coinage of the constitution. We believe it to be abso- luely necessary for the common good, the prosperity and happiness of the whole people that we should have the immediate free coinage of all tbe gold and silver bull lion that may be brought to our hints at the ratio of 16 to 1, and that we should have the immediate use of both gold aud silver as standard money, and that such free coin age and use be had without any discrimina- ton for or against either metal, and with out waiting for the consent of any nation on earth.
 Resolved (2), We believe that to the dis crimination against silver is directly trace
  among the wage eRrners, industrial and producing classes of this country; that the policy pursued by this government by the demonstration of silver in 1873 is an in- justice to the creditor and debtor classes alike by destroying the confidence of the first named in the ability of the latter to meet their obligations.
 Resolved (3), The effort to restore silver 10 lts constitutional right as money metal having failed by international agreement, irri hat of TJnitnd States, immediately upon it's assembling, enact such laws AS will insure to our peo. pie the free coinage of all gold and silver bullion that may be brought to our hints, and that the same be coined and used as herein declared, believing such to be the only means 10 relieve the distress now pre- vailing among our people and restore that Nnfidence so essential to all business pros- YNgity.
 Resolved t4), We believe in the demo- cratic doctrine of Jefferson, Jackson, Ben- ton and other illustrious statesmen, that all money issued by authority of congress shall be issued and it's value maintained by the general government. The creation and Issue of money IS the function alone of sovereignty, and we oppose the grant of such power by the general government to any bank, individual or association of in- dividualS whatsoever. The precious metals not furnishing sufficient amount of money for the business and needs of the country, we favor the issue by the general govern ment of full legal tender paper money, that the volume of money. consisting of gold, silver and paper together, will be so ad- justed that the debt-paying and purchasing power of every dollar will be stable, and will thus defraud neither creditor, debtor or anyone else, and the volume of such money shall always be sufficient in amount to meet tEe needs of he people and the demands of business.
 Resolved (5) We believe in the same money-the same currency for all--the laborer and the bondbolder, the farmer and the banker, the merchant and the mechanic. We oppose the increase of the interest," bearing debt of the government and the issue of bonds by the government in time of peace.
 Resolved (6), We believe in American in dependence aud American freedom from all British and foreign systems and methods.
 Resolved CD, We believe in a strict con- struction of the constitution of the United States to ascertain what powers have been granted to the federal government, as it has none except those expressly delegated by the states, and those necessarily and properly implied. All powers not thus delegated are reserved to the states and the people, and make up the most essential and valuable mass of powers, as they constitute the safeguards of states rights and powers and the blessings of home rule.
 Resolved (8), Our system of national and
