that it was not.

Transmississippi Commercial Congress
to-day declared for the free and unlim-

and adjourned at o'clock. The vote
was so for gold, 127 for silver. Hon. w.
j. Bryan led the friends OF the white
metal and Hon. J. L. Webster of Ona-
ha, the opposition. The debate was
spirited and participated in by most OF
the delegates. This resolution was fin

Whereas, An approaching money
standard impairs all contracts, bank
rupts enterprises, makes idle money
profitable by increasing its purchasing
power and susperds the productive
forces OF our people; and
Whereas, The spoilation consequent
upon the outlawry OF silver in the inter
est Of the creditor class by constantly
increasing the value OF gold is un-
dermining all industrial society; there

Resolved. That we demand the imme-
diate restoration OF the free and unlim-
tied coinage OF gold and silver at the pres
ent ratio OF 16 to l, without waiting for
the aid or consent OF any other nation,
such gold and silver coin to be alike a
full legal tender of all debts, public and
