Monometallism and Bimetallism.
It cannot be successfully claimed that
mopometallism or bimetaliism, or any other
system, gives an absolutely just standard of

metaliism the government fixes the weight
and of the dollar, invests it with
lgal-tender qualities apd then opens the

purchesing pSwer of the dollar to be deter.

Demonetization of Silver.
Our opponents sometimes admit that it was
a mistake to demonetize sliver, but ina'st
that we should submit to present conditions
rather than return to the bimetallic system.
They err in supposing that we have reached
the end of the evil results of a gold standard
we have not reached the end. The injury is
a contisuing one, and no person can say
how long the world Is to suffer from the at-
tempt to makes gold the only stundard

operating to destroy silver in the United
States, will, If successful here, be turned

Our party, and, we belisve, 4 greal major
ity of the American people are convinced
that the legislation of "73 demonetizing silver
was a wrong inflicted our country
which should and must be righted.
We believe that the single gold standard
has so parrowad the base of our monetary
girticture that it is unstable and unsafe; and
so dwarfed it, in its development and in ia
power to furnish the necessary financial
blood to the nation, that commercial and in-
dustrial paralysis has followed
We believe that we need, and must have,
the broad and expanding foundation of both
goldfand silver to support a monelary sys-
tem strong and staple, capable of meeting
the demands of a growing country and an
industrious, energetic and enterprising peo-
ple, a system that will not be weakened acd
panicatricken by every foreign draft upon
us; a system that will maintain a parity of
just values and the nation’s money and pro-
tect us from the frequent fluctuations of to-
day, 80 disastrous to every business and in-
dustry of the land
We demand the free colnage of silver, the
opening of our mints to both money metals
without discrimination, the return to the
money of our fathers, the money of the con-
stitution--gold silver,
The demonetization of silver has thrown
the whole primary money function on gold,
appreciating ita value and purchasing pow-
or. Restore the money function to silver
and silver will appreciate and its purchasing
power increase,
We shall then have a broad and uailmited
foundation for a monetary system, rommen-
surate with our country’s needs and future
development, not the unsafe basis of today
