RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were adop-
ted:
THE Democrats of Juab county again
declare their allegiance to the party of
Jefferson and Jackson, and their I'M
qualified and hearty endorsement of the
platform adopted at Chicago by the
Democratic national convention. None
need be in doubt about what the Demo-
cratic party stands for. 1t has declared
an unceasing warfare against the gold
standard and the great monopolieS by
which Mark Hanna would buy a presi-
dency. The Democratic party has de-
clared for the Independent free coinage
OF silver. 1t demands that congress
shall use its powers to levy suitable
income tax so that the rich may not
escape taxation while fattening upon
the taxes paid by labor.
I'VE denounce the subterfuge of in
ternational bimetallism presented by
the Republican national platform of
1896 as a deception and q lie. A COM
parison of the Republican platforms of
1896 and 1884 will prove it. In 1896 at
St. Louis the Republican platform
says: We are una4terably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase our
currency or impair the credit of our
country. We are, therefore, opposed to
the free coinage of silver, except by in
ternational agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote; and
until such agreement can be obtained,
the existing gold standard must be
preserved
'In 1884 the Republican national plat
form declared:
w OGllCNS III lIOLCSl IlIOnCy, IIIC
gold and silver coinage of the constitu-
ton, and a circulating medium convert
ible into such money without loss
Therefore, none need be in doubt as
to what the Republican party stands
for. The action of the past convention
at st. Louis has dispelled all doubt, and
voters can no longer be deluded with
the cry of Wait for international BIZ
metallism.' In 1878 the opponents of
the Bland bill were waiting for 'interna-
tional bimetallism,' and that cry has
been urged again and again, and we are
still waiting, and those who are most
anxious to wait are those in favor of
the gold standard.
THE Republican party, for twenty
years, has been a party Of broken
promises on the silver question. 1t
stands now for what benefits the bond
gamblers of Wall street; it stands for
scarce money and low prices of labor S
products; it stands for financial poll
! icy which, after a trial of years, has
| brought the country ruin and disaster;
it stands today for everything the
American people do not want; the sub
stance of the erstwhile grand old
party has departed and but the shadow
is left.
I'VE now appeal to all voters of Juab
county, regardless of past affiliations,
that on the great issues presented they
place themselves in line with William
u. Bryan and the Democratic party,
and that they vote for and give them
their hearty support to the state Dem
ocratlc and local ticket: that the policy
of Bryan may be carried out and the
prosperity of the people assured. Dc
this, and there win be no possible
chance that any United States senator
4, 49,
will betray the great cause entrusted to
| him by the people"
