Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place It o'aupied
previous to the passage ol the
Mint Act OF 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of its 0lsney
functions and denied to the owner

the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage of gold.
