almost all young vegetation. and break
knndreds Of windows In all parts Of

RESOLUTIONS:
We congratulate the democratic
party upon the success oe the tariff
revision brought about through the
Wilson bill, and feel assured that its
benefits are being appreciated by the
American people, and that it will be
upheld at the polls by the masses.
We admire and endorse the courage
and honesty Of President Cleveland,
and we welcome the threat of the re-
publican party to again make the tariff
question the issue Of their campaign.
Whereas-the present depressed
condition of the country and the
shEinkage Of values are largely due TO
the financial system, which has con-
troiled the nation for over twenty
years, We hereby declare ourselves op-
posed to the single gold standard and
favor return to the constitutional
standard OF gold and silver BY the
restoration, by the general govern
ment, independent OF any foreign
powers, of unrestricted coinage Of both
gold and silver into standard monAy,
&C the ratio Of 1e 70 I. and upon teerns
n they existed prior to 1873. The 81
yer coin to be full legal tender eQuaiIS

private; and we believe that in no
other way may this much coyoeed re-
suit be brought about, exceps ehxouxh

GENERAL ORDER NO. 2.
Again the returning spring. with it's
budding flowers reminds us of those
comrades who fell that the nation may
live, also reminding US Of the approach
of another Memorial Day. Though
our ranks are thinning out, we feel it
our duty to once more assemble around
the graves of onr dead comrades. and
there strew the choicest of flowers.
Let us do it faithfully while we can,
and may the memory Of their deeds
baptize us afresh with loyalty and de-
votion to our common country.
There is no teaching 80 powerful as
example, and no incentive to patriotic
deeds and noble living so great. as that
which springs from holding in remem
brance and undying honor. those who
have nobly lived and gloriously died.
So long as the country honors the MEM
ory of its heroes it will not lack for
defenders.
We should close our places of busi-
ness, lay aside our usual ayocations,
and devote the day to exercises COM
memorative OF the virtnes OF our dead
comrades. =
