CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTIONS.

The peoples party of the Sixth congressional
district in convention assembled renew our de-
votiOn to the fundamental principals of the
Omaha platform,
Money being prime necessity of exchange he
who contracts its value entails more ruin than
all wars, petilence and famines in the history of
the world We therefore believe with Thomas
Jefferson that the power to issue and control
the value of money should be taken from the
banks and restored to the people to whom it
belongs and demand the abolition of the ma
iOnal banking system and basing the currency
on all the wealth OF the nation.
As free and sovereign people we demand the
free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of sixteen to one, and that all money
be made full legal tender for all debts, both
public and private, We oppose the issue of
bonds except by express authority of congress
and we condemn the extravaganza of the na-
tiOnal administration.
We have no use for any system of taxation
which tends to build up large fortunes for one
class at the expense of others.
In William Baker, congressman of the Sixth
district, we have found and honest advocate of
these principles we commend him for his manly
stand against the steal of nearly half million
dollars for extra clerk hire for congressman,
We are in favor of submitting all important
questions to the direct vote of the people. To
the support Of these principles to which we
pledge the nominee of this convention we invite
the cooperation of all Hberty-lOving people to
assist us in overthrowing the present system of
corporate power and establish a government for
and by the people,

lsma1ds Gold nd Silver m 1891.

The American people, from tradition and in
terest, favor bimetailism, and the republican
party demands the use of both gold and silver
as standard money, with such restrictions and
under such provisions TO be determined by legis-
lation as will secure the maintenance OF the
two metals, SO that the purchasing and debt
paying value of the dollar, whether Of silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The
interests of the producers of this country, its
farmers and its workingmen, demand that every
dollar, paper OF coin, issued by the government
shall be as good as any other. We commend the
wise and patriotic steps already taken by our
government to secure an International confer
ence to adopt such measures as will insure a
parity of value between gold and silver for use
as money.

And Throws Silver Overheard in 1896.

The republican party is unreseryedly for sound
money. It caused the enactment of the law pro-
Yiding for the resumption of specie payments in
1879; since then every dollar has been as good as
gold, We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debsss our currency or
impair the credit of our country. We are, there
fore, opposed to the free coinage of silver except
by international agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which We
pledge ourselves to promote, and until such an
agreement can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved. All our silver and
paper currency must be maintained at a parity
with gold, and we favor all measures designed
to maintain inyiOlably the obligations of the
United States and all our money, either coin OF
paper, at the present standaTd-the standard OF
the most enlightened nations of the earth.

The bankers and gold brokers have
howlsd so much about panic that at
last it has aroused the people and
brought down upon them the very
thing they should have commended
against. Demands for gold for hoard
ing purposes have become SO great that
the banks have been forced to suspend
payment in the yellow metal and fall
back upon despised silver. This has
put the drain upon the national treas
uEy which is losing half million a day
with prospects Of an increase as the
scare spreads. The country is virtu-
ally on a silver basis to-day without
the advantage Of unrestricted mintage
and handicapped by the gold milestone
about it's neck. The contraction is also
q source Of great danger and one which
can in no wise be guarded against. The
beauties of the gold standard become
daily more apparent-nit.

PRESIDENT STICKNEY of the Chicago
Il Great Western railroad was given a
deserved castigation by the interstate
commerce commission at Chicago the
other day. The commission said that
the habit of the railroads charging IS
cents to haul a bushel of grain for the
farmer 100 miles, and charging the
commission men and grain buyers 6
cents for hauling twice the distance,
made more anarchists than all other
evils combined. Such discrimination
in the end cannot but work the destruc-
ton of every railroad corporation in
the country. They are not greater
than the people, and if they continue
as they have in the past, such a wave
of sntagonism will result that govern
ment ownership at terms disastrous to
the monopoly will certainly eusue.

TIE republicans are seeking to whip

we're deprecated nearly 200 per cent,
the argument of republican integrity
in regard to money matters should fall
somewhat fiat.

The suddenly VirtuOus and high
minded DIRECTORS to criticism Of the
supreme court are very loudly insisting
that al who dare to lisp criticism of
that august tribunal are anarchists and
Jewelers. who eat red pepper, wear red
shirts and battle in warm, red blood.
Let US look at the dissenting opinions
on the income tax decision delivered
by members Of the court itself.
Justice Brown said:
"The decision involves nothing less
than the surrender of the taxing power
to the moneyed classes. While have
no doubt that congress will find some
means of surmounting the present
crisis, my fear is that in some moment
of national peril this decision will rise
up to Illustrate its will and paralyze its
arm. hope it may not prove the first
step toward the submeFgence of the
liberties of the people in a despotism
Of wealth"
Justice Harlan SAID:
SIN my judgment this decision strikes
at the very foundation of national
authority, in that it denies to the gen.
eraI government a power which is, or
may be at some time. imperatively
needed, in a great emergency, say in
case of war. The practical if
not the direct effect of the decision to-
day is to give to certain kinds of prop
erty a position of favoritism and advan-
tage that is inconsistent with the
fundamental principles of our social
organization, and to invest them with
power and influence that is perilous to
that portion of the people upon which
rests the larger part of the burdens Of
the government, and who ought not to
be subjected to the domination of ag-
gregsted wealth any more than the
property of the country should be at
the mercy of the lawless."
Justice White said:
"The injustice of the conclusion
points to The error of adopting it. It
takes the invested wealth and reads it
into the constitution as favored and
protected class of property, whilst it
leaves the occupation of the minister,
the doctor, the professor, the lawyer,
the inventor, the author, the merchant
and all the various forms of human
activity upon which the prosperity of
people must depend, subject to tax
alton without appOrtiOnment."
Justice Jackson said that he concur
red fully in the opinion expressed by
Justice White, and declared that:
"The decision reverses the common
rule of taxation by exempting those
who are best able to pay and forcing
the burden upon the shoulders of those
who are least able to pay"
In concluding Justice Jackson said
that in his opinion the dicision was
"the most disastrous blow ever struck
at the constitutional power of congress.
1t struck down an important, vital and
essential power of the government. It
left the government, in case of neces-
sity, without power to reach by taxation
in any form the vast incomes derived
from the real and personal property of
the oOuntry."-ROcky Mountain News.
