tween silver standard countries and gold stand.
ard countries is equivalent to a bounty equal
TO the difference between the value OF gold and
silver, in favor Of the products Of silver stand
ard countries exported in gold standard coun-
tries, and a corresponding tariff against the
products Of gold standard countries exported
TO silver using countries: and
WHEREAS, The cost OF production otherwise
in the Old World, and particularly in China
and Japan, IS far less than the cost at which
similar products can be produced or manufac-
tured in this country by American labor, with
out reducing our farmers, miners, mechanics,
manufacturers and other Industrial workers to
the level OF Chinese coolies; therefore, be 1t
ResOired, That, over and above all other queS-
lions Of policy, we are in favor of restoring to
the people Of the United States the time-hon-
ored money Of the constitution. gold and silver,
not one, but both-the money OF Washington.
and Hamilton, and Jefferson, and Monroe, and
JackSon- and Lincoln-to the end that the
American people may receive honest pay for
an honest product: the American debtor pay
his just obligations in an honest standard. and
not in a standard that is appreciated 100 per
cent. above all the great staples of Our cOun-
try; and to the end further that silver stand
ard countries may be deprived Of the Innatu-
raj advantage they now enjoy in the difference
in exchange between gOIt and silver-an adj
vintage which tariff legislation alone can not
overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the poo
pie OF the United States that. leaving in abey-
ance for the moment all other questions, how
ever important, even momentoUS they may ap-
pear, and sundering L need be all former party
ties and Affiliations, that they unite in one SUI
preme effort TO free themselves and their chill
dren from the domination of the money power
"a power more destructive than any which has
ever been fastened upon the civilized men Of
any race or in any age. And upon the consum-
nation of their desires and efforts we invoke
the gracious favor OF Divine Providence.
