Issuance of bonds to be sold by them at an enor-
nous profit for the purpose Of supplying the
Federal treasury with gold TO ma. n,ain the
policy OF gold monometall sm.
Resolved, That we condemn in the severest
terms the practice OF the national treasury de-
p'rtment in permitting the creditor to demand
mt tha Obligations of ths government be paid
III gold and to insist that all OF the obligations
OF The government be liquidate1 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 Union affords the only
security for the maintenance OF white suprem-
acy In the State aud that all political move
menls which tend to divide or weaken our party
are In direct conflict with the true interests OF
the state and dangerous.to the welfare and hap
piness 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, which is and
has ever been the true friend of the people and
the only peoples party--the. party whose prin-
| ciples cmbody all that Is good and desirable In
free government, ant 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 tariI law
since 1876 that transfers the burden of the taxe
| from the weak to the strong, and supplies the
Iuhlic treasury without depressing one class
| for the benefit of the other.
We demand national legislation 10 suppress
dealing in futures, n pcrnicious and immoral
business which rnI no nri iaa nf prn :
uct of the farm to the detriment OF the farmer
and subjects the rewards Of his toll to the yicis-
situdes of gambling transactions. We oppose
all trusts and combines and favor lc ,islaton 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 change In
| our organic law as 10 permit the national gov
ernment to levy and collect an income tax.
The following resolution was pre-
sented by Dr. S. ID. Robbins Of Warren:
Resolved, That the Democratic party, in con-
vention assembled, do hereby instruct AMI re-
quest the Democratic members OF congress from
