pie of this country are in favor of the
full remonetization of silver and op-
posed to the present single gold stand
ard; and
Whereas, silver was stricken down
by fraud, through the gold power in
the two leading political parties, not
withstanding the direct pledges of
both their national platforms to the
contrary; therefore
Resolved, that we recommend that
the nominations for Congress in the
several districts should be made by the
friends of free silver, of men who are
unequivocally in favor of the unre-
stricted coinage of gold and silver on
the basis of sixteen to one, and whose
past acts are the best guarantee of
their good faith and who will stand on
the resolutions adopted by this con-
vention, and that the said nominees
be made either by political organiza-
tions which are known to be positively
in favor of free silver, or by independ-
ent assemblages of men of all parties;
the candidates being pledged, if elect
ed, in case the election of President
of the United States is thrown into
the House of Representatives, that
they will vote only for such candidate
as is known to be earnestly in favor of
the free coinage of silver.
Resolved, that we call upon men of
all parties who believe in the free
coinage of silver, to bury all past diff
ferences and unite in conventions,
and at the ballot box to rescue the
country from the foreign and domestic
enemies who have brought our indus
tries to ruin, and who, if unchecked,
will destroy the republic and the lib
critics of mankind.
In accordance with these Resolu-
tions and Recommendations, the same
being in furtherance of the Resolu-
tions adopted at the Bimetallic Con-
ference held at Washington, Decem-
Der 15 and 16, 1898,
THE AMERICAN BIMETALLIC LEAGUE.
Urges npon all voters everywhere to
organize to carry out the
plan of action here recommended.
This is the Peoples cause and the
people must rescue themselves from
the financial thraldom which is fast
swallowing up their earnings, taking
away their homes and threatening
their very liberties and the institutions
upon which our civilization rests.
Under the proposed plan of action
the restoration of Free Bimetalic Coin
age in the United States is made The
Paramount Issue.
The first battle is for the next Con-
gress. To secure safe and reliable
majority of silver men in the 54th
Congress.
IT is RECOMMENDED:
First: That as the doctrine herein
set forth has been made a cardinal
principle in all the platforms of the
Peoples Party, that wherever this
party is strong enough independently
to elect members of Congress, it should
put forth every effort to do so.
Second: In all Republican and
Democratic districts the people are
urged to nominate, and vote for, only
free coinage candidates for Congress,
or for members of the legislatures of
their respective States, and to require
all candidates, both in nominating
conventions and in their canvass be-
fore the people, to pledge answering
devotion to the cause of free coinage
of both gold and silver as herein re-
commenced, and to vote for no other
candidates.
Third: In all Districts where such
candidates are not put up, it is recon-
mended that an Independent Conven-
ton be called of all voters, regardless,
of party, who favor the restoration of
free bimetallic coinage, and, if possi-
BILE, to elect such candidates and to
vote for no others.
