''Tne democratic party adopted at

principles. No question brought to the

buttons declaring that the contest for
independent bimetallism at the ratio of
16 to l must be continued. I am 10
hearty sympathy with this determina-
ton.
"The demand for the restoration OF
bimetallism does not mean that there
are no other issues before the people,
but it means that this issue cannot be
laid aside or surrendered until the
financial policy of the American people
is determined by the American people
themselves, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation"
In reference to the gold democrats Mr..
Bryan said:
II want to talk to those who are espousing
that halfway cause known as the gold demo.
cratic party. wish to say that the men who
withdrew from the party in 1896 are mis-.
taken, in large measure, and, if can help
them to see the light and regain them as
supporters of the party, feel that the time
will como when they will thank me for it."
After other speeches the convention unan.
imously adopted the following reso ution

policy of the national administration toward

The law was intended 70 catch concerns
which have agents in Kansas City. Mo.

and write insurance without paying the
taxes due the state for doing business in
Kansas. It was to play even with this
class of insurance that the thinner law
was passed.

milling companies. and he will resist the
payment of the 10 per cent tax on the
ground that the law is unconstitutional
