the following report, which was adopt,
ed:
WHEREAS, We, the citizens OF Delta
county, in mass meeting assembled to
consider the political questions OF the
day, firmly believe that the financial
issues tower far above all others, and
that they demand the most earnest con-
sideratlon of every citizen, no matter
what his party affiliations heretofore
have been; and
WHEREAS, we insist that the great and
sweeping business and industrial de-
preston all over the nation owes its ex-
istence to the vicious financial policy OF
the government,
RESOLVED, That until silver is once
moro restored to its time honored posi-
tion with gold, at the ratio of 16 to l, we
believe that there can be no permanent
financial relief for this country, and
however important other great political
questions are estimated by US, we are
ready and willing, without surrendering
our convictions on such other questions,
to unite in one grand effort with all the
true friends Of silver to place in the pres
idency of our nation in 1886 person
whose life will fully assure all of his de-
votion to the restoration OF silver and
to this end we pledge ourselves to sup
port no one for office unless fully assur-
ed OF his earnest advocacy of bi-metal-
ism as it existed before the monetery
crime Of 1873 was insidiously perpetrat-
ed upon the American people.
RESOLVED. That for the purpose OF
spreading among the people everywhere
the true and logical reasons for return
to the metallic money of our faith
ers. we regard it as duty for good
citizens to aid in the circulation of lit
erature where it may accomplish the
greatest good, and to this end we each
agree to do what we we can to distribute
among our eastern friends and ac-
quaintances such publications as may
be useful in furthering this great cause.
RESOLVED, That we urge the import
ance of each neighborhood or school
district in the county forming society
or organization for the purpose of dis
guessing and investigating these great
financial questions and keeping up such
work until free silver banners shall float
in the breeze all over our land.
