sion in the maintenance of rights
of the States, and in it's assertion
of the necessity of continuing the
general government to the exer-
else of the powers granted by
the Constitution of the United
States.
The constitution of the United
States guarantees to every citizen
the right of civil and religious lib.

always been the exponent of polit.
ical liberty and religious freedom,
and it renews its obligation and
reaffirms its devotion to those fun
damental principles of the con-
ventiOn.
Recognizing that the money
question is paramount to all others
at this time, we invite the atten-
tion to the fact that tie federal
constitution names silver and gold
together as the money metals of
the United States, and that the
first coinage law passed by con-
gress under>the, constitution made
the silver dollar the monetary unit
and admitted gold to free coinage
at the rate based upon the silver
dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1878,
demonetizing silver without the
knowledge or approval of the
American people, has resulted in
the appreciation of gold and cor.
