THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in conven-

ing declaration Of principles:
/. The paramount issue at this time
in the United States is indisputably the
money question. 1t is between the gold
standard, the gold bonds and bank cur

standard, NO bonds and government u
rsncy on the other. On this issue we de-
clare ourselves 10 be in favor OF a dis
tinctively American system. We are
unalterably opposed to the single gold
standard and demand immediate return

paper currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that al
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and it's volume con.
trolled by the general government only,
and it should be legal tender. We are
unalterably opposed to the issue by the
United States Of interest bearing bonds
in time Of peace, and We denounce as a
blunder worse than a crime the present
treasury policy, c%oncurred in by the re.
publican house, Of plunglng the country
in debt by hundreds of millions in a vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and We demand the
payment Of all coin obligations Of the
United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option Of the government and not at the
option Of the creditors.
2. That over aud above all other ques-
tons of policy, We are in favor Of restor-
ing to the people OF the United States
the time honored money Of the constitu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money OF Washington, Hamilton,
Jefferson, Monroe. Jackson and Lin
coin, to the end that the American peo-
pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations in an honest
standard and not in a standard that has
appreciated 100 per cent above all the
great staples OF the country, and to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived Of the unjust
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla-
ton alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people OF the United States to leave 10
allegiance for the moment all other ques-
tions, however important and even mo
mentous they msy appear-to sunder il
need be all former party ties and affiilia-
tions, and unite in . supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination Of the money power-a
power more destructive than any which
has ever been fastened upon civilized
man OF any race Of in any age. And
upon the corsummation Of our desires
and efforts We invoke the gracious favor
of Divine Providence.

In India had not fallen.
Sir, there is ample reason why prices
began falling about theyear 1878 and have
kept failing with more or less regularity
ever since. Down 10 that period gold and
silver shared together the functions of Ill
Innate money among the great commercial
nations Of the world. Together they
formed one vast money reservoir, whose
Aggregated contenhs measured all exchange
values and constituted the ultimate solu-
tlon Of all representative and credit money.
EnglAnd's action In going upon the gold
standard In 1916 had not impaired this re-
lation. but the sudden and nearly cOntem-
pUraneous adoption Of that standard about
1878 By several heading governments, fol-
lowed at frequent intervals by Others,
made sudden and tremendous lessenine
Of the mint demand for silver and threw
upon the volume Of gold the double bur
