lo (he |>eop|o of tli.. lii|ii.<l States. l it,,
following is ilu* statement:
The money iju'stion Is now indisputa
t?ly the dominant issue in tin; I'nited
States, ii lid w i 1 1 remain si't until set
lied mill, settled rightly. Other ques
lions, however Important, must waitv'foi
this, which (o a greater or hss extent,
involve* all others. Tin* issue is be
lie.ved to lie gold standard, gold lionds,
and bank currency on the .side and the
bi-metallle standard, no bonds a no
Government currency on the other.
i'irst. On (his issue we de 'hire our
^ Helves I . ? l>c una I tern My opposed to the
single gold standard and demand lie
immediate return to tin- constitutional
(standard of k<>I<1 ami silver by the iv
Kloriition liy this Ooverntiicu1, imle
peuduntly of any foreign power, of the
-mivf-st lic.tcil coinage nf liotb silver ami
(v g??ld into standard money, at the ratio
f?l*vlG lo l. and upon terms of exact
quality, the silver coin full Ick&I tell er
equally with gold. for all debts and
ilues public a 11(1 private.
Second. We hold that tin- power tu
< ou( ml and regulate a prn,|H>r currency
is inseparable to the issue of money an ?
hen o that all currency Ini. nded to ell
culate as money should bo issued and
its volume controlled by the Govern
ment only, and should be legal tender, '
Third. We are unaltornajbly opposed
to the issue by the I'nited States ot
interest bearing bonds in time of peace,
ami deimiiid that of all obligations ot
? he fluted <-ftates. as provided by ex
isting laws be paid in either gold oi
silver coin, ai the option of the Govern- |
"lent and not at the option of the credi
tor .
On this i.ssuv we appeal from tin- dic
tation of t he money power to the In
telligence and patriotism of the Ameri
can people.
? lie I'll i-|ii?mcm ,
J he address lo the people of -Uic
United States, aecompanying the s(irte
ment is an argument upon the issue of
set forth in tho statement. In it ap
pears these paragraph*;; the purpose of
this movement is not lo array section
against section, nor class against class,
not to require any body to give up his
convictions on other questions, or to
sever his party relations for any oilier
purpose than to unite in a common cause,
the cause of justice against injustice,
and prosperity instead of adversity.
The employment of labor instead of
to recti idleness; abundance of happiness,
i instead of want and misery. There tan
'be no doubt, moreover, that a return
to the standard ?>f gold and silver will
- 'promote in the highest degree the busi
ness in this entire country, while the
continuance of the present policy must
necessarily be attended by a further fall
of prices, imperilling business still more,
and prolonging indefinitely the present
stagnant condition of trade and iiidus
I ry.
