Resolved, That tho Democratic par
ty, in national convention assembled.
should demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver and gold into pri-
mary or redemption money at the ratio
Of 10 to I, without waiting for the ac-
tion or resolution Of any other country.
"That 1t shall declare its irrevocable
opposition to the substitution for
metallic money Of panic-breeding,
corporation.crcdit currency, based OH
q single metal, the supply Of which is
SO limited that 1t can be cornered ut
any time by few banking institu-
tions In Europe end America.
''That 1t should declare its opposition
to the policy and practice OF surren-
dering to the holders Of the obliga-
tions Of the United States the option
reserved by the law Of the-Yovernment
Of redeeeminR such obligations In
either silver coin or gold coin.
"That 1t should declare its opposi-
tion to the issuing Of interest bearing
bonds Of the United States In a time
Of peace, especially to placing the
treasury Of the government under the
control Of any syndicate Of bankers.
and the issuance Of bonds 10 be sold
by them at an enormous prctit for the
purpose Of supplying the federal treas
ury with gold to maintain the policy
Of gold mon0metallism.
with q view to seeking the adher-
ence to and readoption of the Demo
cratic financial policy set forth above
by the Democratic national convention
to he assembled In 1886. and of the
nomination Of candidate for the
presidency well known to be In hearty
sympathy Herewith. we hereby pledge
our mutual cooperation and urgently
recommend to our Democratic bretb-
rem In all the states to at once begin
and vigorously and systematically
prosecute the work of a thorough or
ganization, and to this end the ndop-
ton of the plan OF organization here
with submitted is recommended
The address then disclaims speak
ing with party authority. the assem-
blage being voluntary one. but very
strongly represents the opinion of the
conference that the marty should de.
clare for free coinage Of silver.
