believe that no party can hope for en-
during success 10 TIE United States 80
long us IL ID gocates a single gold stand
ard, and that the advocacy Of such a
fnancial policy would be especially dan
cerous to a parry which, like the demo
cratic party, derives its voting strength
from those who may without rURoach
be called the commou people, and We
point to the Overwhelming defeat Of the
party an 1894, 10 the opposition aroused
~ the veto OF the seiRniorage bill and 10
the still more unanimous protest against
the issue OF gold bonds as proof that the
dsmocratic party can not be brought to
the support Of the gold standard pol
icy.
We believe that The money question
will DO the paramount issue In 1896, and
viii 90 remain until it ~ settled by the
intelligence aud patriotism Of the Amer
lean voters.
We believe that a majority Of the
Democrats Of the United States favor
bimetailism and realize that It can be
secured only by the restoration OF the
free aud unlimited coinage OF gold and
silver at the present ratio, and we assert
that the majority has aud should ex-
ercise the right to control the policy Of
she party and retain the party name.
We believe it is the duty Of the ma
Jorty and within their power to take
charge Of the party organization and
make the democratic party m effective
instrument in the accomplishment Of
needed rofotms.
II ~ not necessary that democrats
should surrender their convictions on
other questions in order to take an ac-
tive part in the settlement Of the ques-
tior which at this time SURPRISES all
Others in Importance We believe that
the AMI and file Of the party should at
once assert themselves IN the democrat
ic party md place it on record in favor
OF the immediate restoration Of the free
and unlimited coinage Of gold and silver
at the present legal ratio Of 10 to 1, as
such coinage existed prior 10 1873, with
out waiting for the and or consent Of any
other nation, such gold and silver to DO a
full legal tender for all debts, public and
private.
We urge all democrats who favor the
financial policy above set forth 10 associ-
ate themselves together and Impress
their Vows upon tho party organization
We urge all newspapers in harmony
with the above financial policy TO place
II at the head Of the editorial column
and assist on the immediate restoration
If b~lmetallism.
