rIRsT-The "silver question" is by far the most
important issue before the people of this country
to-day. We believe that the destruction OF the
true s andsrd of value by the decentralization of
silver in 1873 was grave wrong tn every silver

increased the bnrden of all deb and enriched the
creditor classes ut the expense everybody else;
that it paralyzed the produ'hive eLe-gi;s OF the
entire country depressed busntss OF every KIND
except that of money lending, and that there can
be no permanent turn of prosperity 10 our
country until silver shall have been restored o Its
full use and highest post ion as money metal
and as the only perfect mode Of 81 restoring IL We
demand the free al d unluui ed coinage OF both

States acting independently ard wholly regardicss
of what anv other nation may or mag not DO. we

matt Of at importance to the great BODY OF the

some Of the most important industries In the state

This condition exists generally throu2hont th'
United States at the present time, and Is larSel!
