1.-THE question which THIS eonvertion Is
TO decide Is which Is the best position 10
take at this time upon the financial ques-
ton. In word. the question presented Is
between International bl-mesaliism and
local a-metaillsrn. IL there be gold mono
metaIiists. they are not represented either
IN the majority or minority report. 7
therefore start out with this proposition.
that the Democratic party stands today In
favor Of gold and silver as the moneyof the
country. We stand IN favor Of the propo-
sltlon of single standard either of geld or
silver. but we differ az TO the means 10
bring about the result. Those whom rep
resent and for whom ] speak--the sixteen
members Of the minority committss-in-
sist that we should not attempt the expert
ment OF the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver without the cooperation OF other
great nations. IL IS not question OF
patriotism: II Ia not question OF courage.
II Is not question Of loyalty: II Is not a
question of valor The majority platform
speaks Of the subject az though II was

brave people enough 10 enter upon this eS-
fserlynent IL IS q question OF finance: 70
is a question OF economics. Il Is not a uues-
ton which men ever so brave can solve.
