CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTIONS

The peoples party Of the Sixth congressional
district in convention assembled renew our de-
yOsiOn to tie fundamental principals Of the
Omaha platform.
Money being prime necessity of exchange he
who contracts its value entails more ruin than
all wsFs, petience and famines in the history Of
the world. We therefore believe with Thomas
Jefferson that the power to issue and control
the value CT money should be taken from the
banks and restored to the people to whom it
belongs and demand the abolition Of the ma
tional banking system and basing the currency
on all the wealth of the nation.
As Tree and sovereign people We demand the
iEse and unlimited coinage Of silver and gold at
the ratio Of sixteen 70 one. and that all money
be made suH legal tender for ali debts, both
pablo and private. We oppose the issue Of
bonds except b. express authority Of congress

The republican party is unreserTediy for sound
money, It caused the enactment Of the law pro
viding for the resumption of specie payments in
1875 since then every dollar has been as good as
gold. We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our currency OF
impair the credit of our country, We are, there
fore, opposed to the free coinage of silver except
by International agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which We
pledge ourselves to promote, and until such an
agreement can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved. All our silver and
paper currency must be maintained at a parity
with gold and we favor all measures designed
to maintain inviOiably the obligations Of the
United States and all cur money, either coin or
paper, at the present standard-the standard OF
the most enlightened nations Of the earth.

Demands Gold and Silver in 1899.

The American people. from tradition and in
terest, favor bimetallism, and the republican
party demands the use of both gold and silver
as standard money, with such restrictions and
under such provisions to be determined by legis-
lation as will secure the maintenance of the
two metals, so that the purchasing and debt
paying value of the dollar, whether of silver,
gold OF paper, shall be at all times equal. The
interests of the producers of this country, its
farmers and its workinmen, demand that every
dollar, paper OF coin, issued by the government
shall be as good as any other. We commend the
wise and patriotic steps already taken by our
government to secure an International confer
ence to adopt such measures as will insure a
parity of value between gold and silver for use
as money,
