! Senator Hill also offered a number OF
amendments to the platform to bring it
into conformity with the views of the mi
nority.
The amendments offered by Hill: "But
it should be carefully provided by law at
the same time that any change in the
monetary standard should not apply to
existing contracts.
"Our advocacy of the independent free
coinage of silver being based on the be-
lief that such coinage will effect and
maintain parity between gold and sill
yer at a ratio of l6 to l, we declare, as a
pledge of our sincerity, that, if such free
coinage shall fail to effect such parity
within one year from its enactment by
law, such coinage shall thereupon be sus-
pended"
