Resolved. That we declare our

enunciated in the Omaha platform,
every plank in 1t. Especially. we
are In favor of sound, honest dol

less than 100 cents; dollar that is
as good as the nations credit and as
untarnished a. its honor; a dollar as
good in the hands Of the pooi as in
the tills of the rich; dollar worth
its face value 10 the products Of la
Dor; dollar that spectators cannot
corner; dollar that will pay debts
and taxes; a dollar that will be good
as long as the republic endures. We
favor bimetallism and TO that end
we demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at
the ratio of l6 to / as standard
money with equal legal tender pow
ers independent of the action or ad-
vice of any other nation on earth.
We are the pioneers in the fight
for the free coinage of silver. Free
silver coinage would increase busi-
ness, wages and demand for labor.
Free silver coinage would double the
| volume of money.
The Peoples Party is the only true
silver party in existence, having ad-
vocated the free coinage Of both sill
yer and gold at the ratio of 1G to ]

other nations since its organization
We oppose the endorsement of q
