cost at which similar products can be
produced or manufactured in this coun-
try by American labor, without reducing
our farmers, miners, mechanics, manu-
faCturerS and other industrial workers
to the level of Chinese Coolies, therefore,
Resolved, That over and above all the
questions of policy. we are In favor of
restoring to the people of the United
States the time honored money, gold and
silver, not one, but both. the money Of
Washington and Hamilton and Jefferson
and Monroe and Lincoln, to the end that
the American people may receive honest
pay for an honest product; that the Amer
lean debtor may pay his just obligations
in an honest standard and not in a
standard that is appreciated 100 per cent
above the great staples of our country
and to the end, further, that the silver
standard coins may be deprived Of the
unnatural advantage they now enjoy in
the difference in exchange between gold
and silver, an advantage which the tar
iff legislation alone cannot overcome.
I'VE therefore confidently appeal to the
people Of the United States that leaving
in allegiance for the moment all other
questions however important, even mo-
mentous. they appear, and sundering IL
need be, former party affiliations, they
unite in the supreme effort to free them
selves and their children from the dom
ination Of the money power, power more
destructive than any which has ever
been fastened upon civilized man in any
race in any age.
And upon the contamination Of their
desirese and efforts we invoke gracious
favor of Divine Providence.
