to amendment before presentation to the

I'VE, the Democrats of the United
States, in National Convention assembled
do reariirm our allegiance to these great
upon which our institutions are founded
and which the Democratic party has ad-
yocated from Jefferson's time to our own
freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, freedom of conscience, the preser-
walton of personal rights, the equality OF
all citizens before the law, and the faith
full observance of constitutional limita-
tions.
ssRecognizng that the money question
is paramount to all Others at this time
we invite attention to the fact that the
Federal Constitution names silver and
gold together as the money metals of tile
United States. and that the first coinage
law passed by Congress under the Con-
stitution made the silver dollar the unit
of value and admitted gold 10 free coin
age at a ratio measured by the silver
dollar unit.
I'VE declare that the act Of 1873 de-
mcnetizing silver without the knowledge
or approval OF the American people has
resulted In the appreciation of gold and
a corresponding fall In the prices OF COM
modfties produced by rlle people; a
heavy Increase in the burden Of taxation

Why did he ask Colonel Clay to
stop it, if it was not the work of the
Democrats
He declared the circular was gar
bled in Populist papers. Then why
not publish it just as it was wrltt-n :
The circular published this week
and last week in this paper was OBJ

that goes just before the matter re

just after it, to show how it is ex

Governor Atkinson uses the first
paragraph in mis- letter in the Consti
luton, but he did not dare print over
his own name the mater and the
connection as we give it.
