The foregoing proposition not being
satisfactory to your committee, the fol-
lowing. prpRQsition was submitted by
your committee to said subcommittee
of the Republican party, to wit: '.'.
PEOPLES PARTY PROPOSITION,
Whereas the differences between
many of the cardinal principles of the
National Reople's party and those of
the National Republican party are so
| divergent as tOobe irreconoilable, and
Whereas, it is manifest that in order
for two political parties to. success
| fully and honorablytr cooperate to-
| getheB that such cooperation must
| be based upon at least one cardinal
/ principle which is, common to the both.
Resolved, That the subcommittee OF
| FIVE be- and it is hereby authorized
| to propose to the State committee of
| the Republican party of North Caro-
lima, cooperation upon the basis of
| the preamble and resolutions adopted
| and signed by Hon. Henry M, Teller
and fifteen other Republican United
| States Senators, including Senator
Rritchard, relating to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio Of
| 16 to i: and the tariff; the same being
| inaccord with at least one of the cardi-
nal principles Of the National Peoples
party, o. r vfr1 r -.
| "Whereas, The difference of exchange
between standard silver countries and
gold standard countries is equivalent
to a. bounty of 100 per cent on the pro
ducts of the silver standard countries
and. s.ar.a.j,, ...t 81,
"Whereas, The cost of production in
the old world and particularly in
China and Japan, is less than products
can be produced or manufactured form
this country by American labor, with
out reducing our farmers, miners,
mechanics manufacturers and indus
trial workers to the level of Chinese
coolies, thenefore be it,
't'Resolyed,. That we are in favor of
rescuing the people of the United
States from such impending danger by
removing the difference of exchange
between gold standard countries and
silver standard countries by the only
method possible, which is the free anu
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of Is to ], by the independent action Of
the United States, and we are in favor
of a tariff which shall be sufficient to
equalize the cost. .qf production in the
United Staes and in Europe and Ash
attic countries, and that, the protection
incident to such tariff shall be equally
distributed in every section of the
United Staes, and between the various
| products and industries of each State.

tee on the part, Of the. Republican party
| be requested to communicate in writ
