Nemands of Silyerites as Voiced) at the Chicago Convention Chicago, Ill., August 2. Delegates | to the Silver Convention were late in | this morning When Chairman Thurman called the meet- ing to order ex United States Sena tor N. P. Hill, of Colorado, addr ed the Convention the question for nearly an hour, chiefly on statistics tending to show that the adoption of a gold or standard in any country had invari- ably been followed by depression. Ex Senator Doolittle, of As con- sin, then introduced a series ot reso lutions demanding the free coinage of silver, which were referred to the Committee on Resolutions discussion. assembling on silver single poverty and without G. New- lands, of Nevada, and C. S. Thomas, of Colorado, the Convention. Mr. Thomas said the adversaries of the white metal objected tc free coinage because the silver mined Congressman Francis then addressed in other countries would flow into the United States. But he added, it but shows if free coinage is adopted it will make silver worth ¥1.29, and it will stay at that. Hethen quoted several well-known authorities on financial questions, among them Baron Rothschild and John Sherman. The latter was quoted frota the Con gressional Record of March 6, 1876, as follows: It should be received as a funda mental fact, so as to guide the states- men of this country, that the reverse of what suits England always suits us, and as the exclusive gold stand- ard undoubtedly suits her, the double standard suits us. THE PLATFORM. The following is the platform |- adopted by the cunvention: 1 There must be no compromise of this All legislation demonetizing silver and restraining question. coinage thereof must be immediate ly and completely repealed by an act restoring the coinage to the con ditions established by the founders of the nation and which continued for over eighty years without com- plaint from any part of our people Every hour’s delay in undoing the corrupt work of Ernest Seyd our foreign enemies is an insult to the dignity of the American peopie 2 crushing burden on their prosper ity, and an attempt to again under the and place us which com- protest made yoke from George Washington and _ his patriots rescued us We against the policy being pendent upon the opinions or de poli- cies of any foreign Government, and assert the power of this nation to stand on its own feet and legislate for itself upon all subjects. 2. We assert that the only remedy for our metallic financial troubles to open the mints of the nation to gold and silver on the is of the old ratio 16 of silyer to 1 of gold. Whenever silver bullion can | be exchanged at the mints for legal tender siver dollars worth 100c¢ each, | that moment 4124 grains of standard | silver will be worth 100c. and as "| pansion of ou equal terms | side with silver. | 3.

We are convinced that bad as is the state of offairs here it would have been still worse but for the Sherman act, by which the nation has obtained to some extent an expanding circulation to meet the demands of a continent in process of colonization and the business needs of the most energetic dwelt on the earth And we insist on the execution of the laws without evasion solong as it is upon statute books, and on the purchase | of the full amount of silver each month that it provides for,to the end | that the menetary addition to the circulating medium shall be tained.
