been characterized by repeated and disas-
trous financial panics. The farmers have
found their prosperity and independence
constantly waning under its blighting ia
f1uence. Manufacturers are interested to
oppose it. for they find the prices Of sale
falling below the cost of production. Mer-
chants should oppose 1T, for with falling
prices they are often compelled to sell
for less than they paid for manufactured
goods. Neither the manufacturer nor
merchant can prosper unless the mass
of consumers realize such prices for their
selves literally with the necessities ard

there Is less and less competition for his
labor.
The democratic party is the traditional
friend and champion of bimetallism. Its
strength and power and popularity has
been largely built upon its steadfast oppo-
sition to the decentralization of silver, and its
record of unwearied effort to restore 1t to
it's historic place as a full money metal
equal with gold. The effort at this late day
to make it par excellence the champion OF
gold monometallism, the enemy of the
policy it has upheld and the defender Of
the crime 1t has denounced. is an effort to
dishonor its record. its promises and its
principles. The moment the democratic
obliquy on its own past and crowns It's
great adversary with glory and honor.
The Resolutions.
Duty to the people requires that the party
of the people continue the battle for BIZ
metallism until it's efforts are crowned with
success. Therefore, be it

nation.
Resolved, second, That 1t should declare
it's irrevocable opposition to the substitG-
ton for metallic money of a panic-breed-
ing corporation-credit currency, based on a
single metal, the supply of which Is so
limited that it can be cornered at any time
by few banking institutions in Europe
and America.
Resolved, third. That it should declare its
opposition to the policy and practice of
surrendering to the holders OF the obhea-
tioas of the United States the option re-
deserved blythe law to the government of re-
deeming such obligations In either silver

Resolved, fourth That 1t should declare
its opposition to the Issuing of interest
bearing bonds of the United States in time
of peace, and especially to placing the
treasury of the government under the con-
troll of any syndicate of tankers, and the
issuance of bonds to be sold by them at an
enormous profit for the purpose of supply
ing the federal treasury with gold to main
tain the policy of gold mononetallisn1
