4giI4 ADDRESS.
I've deem it fitting that we who
have heretofore affiliated with the ma
tional Republican party, and who have
rejected the financial plank Of the
platform adopted at st. Louis and re-
fused TO support the nominees OF the
convention should STATE our position in
the presidential campaign and give
briefly. our reasons in support thereof.
when certain delegates 10 the ma
tional Republican convention repudIat-
ed The financial plank of the platform
and Withdrew from the convention, we
determined that we would give our sup
mort TO such candidates as saou4d ap-
pear most willing and capable of aid
ing in the restoration OF silver 10 us
righfful place as standard money
'.The Democratic party in its Chi
caeo. convention has taken a position
IN it's niatfOru1 so
PRONOUNCEDLY FAVORABLE TO
SILVER
and has nominated candidates of such
unuuesgionable convictions in favor OF
the bimetallic policy and of such hlSn
personal character that We have deter
mined to give them our support. we
support such candidates, because they
represent the great principle of BIZ
metallisn which we believe so be the
cause of humanity and civilization and
fine paramount question now before the
American people.
eve. therefore, announce that we
shall by voice and vote support Messrs.
BRYAN and Sewal for president anu
vice-president, and we appeal 10 all
oiSizens. and especially to Republicans
VINO feed as we do, that gold mono
rnetallis7n would be of lasting injury
to the country, to act with US in secur-
ing their election.
THE Democrats who believe in the
old standard are announcing their in
tention TO support Mr.. Mckinley or
proposing to put a third candidate in
The field for the avowed purpose of
aiding Mr.. McKinley's election. A
great number Of leading and influential
Democratic journals have declared they
will
SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINEES.
1t is evident there is to be a union OF
forces on the part Of the advocates and
sllpporters of the gold standard to
favorable TO him which will support
the financial policy outlined in the Re
publican platform.
80 those who believe in bimetal-
ism. which means the equal treat
ment Of both gold and silver at the
minis of the nation, there is but one
course to pursue, and that is to unite
the silver forces and to oppose with all
our might the candidate representing
the policy which we believe is fraught
with disaster to the nStion and ruin
to the people.
cold monometallism means the
shifting TO gold alone as primary
money all the burdens of commerce
and credit formerly borne by gold and
silver, and as the worlds stock of
these metals has always been about
equal in amount, it means the doub-
ling of the burden upon gold. Doubling
the burden upon gold means
DOUBLING THE DEMAND FOR
THE SAME,
and doubling the demand of necessity
,1,,e, Nj
ual shifting to gold of all the burdens
of both gold and silver has caused a
gradual and steady increase in the
value Of every dollar redeemable in
