We demand the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at the present lega! ratio
OF 10 to without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar shall be q legal tender
equally with gold for all debts, public and pri-
Vate and we favor such legislation as will pre-
vent for the future the decentralization of any
kind OF legal tender money by private contract
