"BELIEvE that it is absolutely
necessary to reverse this iniquit-
GUS and ruinous policy, we, there
fore resolve:"
"THAT we favor the immediate
restoration of silver to its former
place as a full legal tender stand
ard money, equal with gold, and
the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the ratio of
l6 to ] and upon terms of exact
!equality.y
Graham guardian., 1895-07-05

"THE logic of facts establishes
beyond intelligent question that
the destruction of silver as primary
money by conspiracy of selfish
interests is the cause of the wide
spread depression and suffering
that began with the gold standaed.
There can be no restoration of pros
pefity, no permanent relief from
prevailing conditions until the
great cause has been removed by q
complete restoration of silver to It's
proper place as money metal,
equal with gold"

"SILvER and gold coin have in

Of history and of the Constitution.
The universal experience of man

joint use of both silver and gold
coin as one money constitutes the
most stable standard of value and
that the full amount of both metals
is necessary as a medium of ex-
change"
