RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, The republican party Is
making q supreme effort to make the
tariff the dominant Issue in the coming
campaign by uniting on the greatest
apostle of high tariff, and the greatest
benefactor OF the large corporations Of
the east; and,
Whereas, We believe the time has
come when the intelligent voter can no
longer be fooled by tho contention Of
the old parties over the tariff bone; and,
Whereas, The people are aroused to
the fact that the paramount issue in the
coming campaign is the money question
What shall be our standard OF value
and who shall control the issue OF our
supplementary or paper money! There
fore,
Resolved, That while we believe in
the cardinal principles OF reform as laid
down in the Omaha platform, yet we be-
lieve the financial question the first and
most important and, knowing that a
great many voters in both old parties
believe with US in monetary reform,
therefore we hereby invite any such to
cooperate with us in endeavOring to
bring about such financial reforms as
will give relief to the people.
Resolved, That we favor the free coin
age of both and gold silver at the ratio
OF 16 to without the consent of any
foreign nation.
Resolved, That we favor the issuance
OF all paper money by the general gov
ernment.
Resolved, That We favor an amend.
ment TO the federal constitution, allow
ing a tax on excessive incomes.
Resolved, That recognizing labor as
the basis of al! wealth and prosperity,
we favor such protection as will prevent
the absorption OF all the earnings OF the
laborer except mere living by the in
satiate greed of the corporation or trust
for whom he works, while the members
OF such corporation live in luxury.
