RESOLUTIONS,
whereas, The atrocous policy of class legisla-
ton, uniformly pursued by the Republican party
curing its long control Of the affairs of this nation,
and eliminating in those two monsters of niquity,
the denomination Of silver and the Mckinley tariff,
whereby the natural laws of business, of supply
and demand, and of the acquisition and distripu-
ton of property have been grossly violated, and
the laborng and producing classes OF our people,
our farmers and wage earners compelled to pay
tribute to the mill ionares syndicates trusts and
monopolies thereby created, fostered and protect
ed, is mainly due the press MT terrible derangemens
and paralysis OF business, the lack OF employment,
low wages, want and suffering to which honest
labor has been reduced as well as the impoverish-
ed condition of our farmers.
Whereas, The Mckinley bill, which was passed
by the Republican party under the false and
fraudulent pretense Of protecting American labor,
but which in fact intended to and does protect
no one but the capitalists by and for whose bene-
ht 1t was devised and passed, and which has
brought ruin and disaster upon our industrial
classes is still in full force and effect.
Whereas, No part of this infamous measure has
been repealed but it ia still working today, as it
has worked for the past four years, to cut down
the prices the product Of the farm and the wages
of labor, while at the same time 1t destroys the
market for both. For its runous effects the Re-
publican party, by which it was originated and
passed, Is alone responsible, 1t is responsible for
the demonetization OF silver, by which the people
have been deprived Of the benefits of having in
circulation an adequate amount ofsactual money
with which TO do business, and have been placed
in the power OF the National banks, by being
compelled to obtain their bills as circulating
medium, instead Of the lawful money to which they
are rightiuly entitled
Therefore, Be It Resolved, BY the Democratic
party Of the Fifth Congressional District OF Ohio,
through its duly selected delegates in Convention
assembled.
FIRST. We denounce the stupendous efrontery
and impudence OF the Republican party its lead
ers, healers and prostituted press, which, by the
hue and cry Of sthese are good democratic times"
seek to evade the lust indi nation of an outraged
people, and cast the burden of its crimes upon the
Democratic party, which had part lot Ia their
perpetration, as monstrous insult to the intelli-
gence OF the American people, too contemplate to
deceive any but willing tools, and only equalled BY
the pickpockets cry Of "Stop Thief"
SECOND. We renew our fidelity to the demo
