the money lending class paralysis OF Industry
and impovershment of the people, and unex-
amped distress IN all god standtr'! countries.
"ExperIence has shown that while under the
single gold standard there may DE an occasional
revival oi business activity, accompanied By en-
hanced prices of a limited number Of cOmlnodi.
ties, such revival is due to artificial and TEN
porary causes, and cannot permanently alleviate
the suiterings due 10 falling prices. brought
about by the appreciation of gold and an made
quate supply Of primary OF redemption money.
DUTY to the people requires that the party of
the people continue the battle for bimetallism
until its efforts are crowned with success;
therefore, b."
"ReSolvrd, That We the Democrat" party OF
Missouri in cUlIvertiOn aSsenblet. .rmlni the
free and unlimited coinage Of SILVER and gold
into primary or redemption money at the ratio
of 16 to /, without waiting or the action or Ap-
proval of any other natIun and
"ReSOlved, That We are Irrevocahly opposed to
the substitution for metallic money and Of
panic breeding corporation credit currency
based on a single metal, the supply Of whjrh IS
so limited that it can be corncred at any time by
few banking institutions in Europe and
America.
"Resolyed, That we are opposed to the issuing
Of interest bearing bonds Of the United States
in time Of peace, and especially are we opposed
to placing the treasury OF the government under
the control of any syndicate Of bankers, and ths
Issuance of bonds to be sold by them at an enor-
nous profit for the purpose of supplying the
Federal treasury with gold to MAINTAIN the
policy of gold monOmetalism.
"Res"lvcd, That We condemn in the s"v"rest
terms tn practice of the national treasury de-
partment in permitting the creditor to demand
that the obligations of the government be paid
in gold and to insist that all of the obi cations
Of hr government be llluidated in either gold or
silver, AS best suits the convenience OF the
treasury"
We firmly believe that the Democratic party
OF Mississippi and of the Unon affords the only
security for the maintenance Of white Supretn-
acy in The State. and that all political move
mentS which tend to divide or weaken our party
are in direct conflict with the true interests OF
the State and dangerous to the Welfare ana hap
pness of both races; We, therefore, deplore the
movement now afoot for the organization Of a
third party to be known as the Peoples party,
and we conjure all good men and true patriots
to stand by the Democratic party. "htrh is and
has ever been the true frienI of the p"orie and
the only peoples party-the purity whose prin'
ciples embody all that is good and desirable in
free government, and whose power is great
enough to put and keep those principles IN
force. Whatever grievance the people may
have can be righted only in and by the Demo-
cratic party
We congratulate the country on the passage
by a Democratic congress OF the best taritl law
since ls4G that transfers the burden Of the taxes
from the weak to the strong and supplies the
public treasury without expressing one class
for the benefit OF the other
We demand national legislation to suppress
dealing in futures, perncous and immoral
business, which controls the price of the prod
uct of the farm to the detriment of the farmer
and subjects the rewards of his toll to the vlcIs-
situdes Of gambling transactions. We oppose
all trusts and combines and favor legislation for
their suppression.
We pledge our party to rigid economy in the
administration of the affairs Of the State. We
commend the present State administration for
its wise and honest management Of our public
affairs
Resolved, That We demand such 4 change in
our or -anic law as to permit The national gov
ernn"nt to levy and collect an income tax
