PLEADING FOR SILVER. White Metal Democrats Make an Appeal to the People. But Disclaim Speaking With Any Par. ty Authority.—The Address Was Read by Gov. Stone, of Mo, Washington, D. C,, Aug. 15.— The silver democrats continued sheir conferecne at the Metropolitan hotel at 10 o'clock to-day. The com- mittee on resolutions and program being unable to report when the meeting was first called to order, it was suggested that the conference should listen to speeches by those present, C. F. Cochrane, editor of the St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette, ad- dressed the conference. He said it seemed anomalous that a meeting such as the present should be called for he knew of no doctrine of the party which was not in consonance with the purposes of this conference. Representative Neill of Arkansas ex-representative Fithian of Illinois, representive Livingston, of Georgia, Colonel Casey Young, of Memphis and ex-representative Turner, of N. Y., Senator Call, A. A. Lipscombe, Jones of Virginia, Mr. Bodine and J. M. Hill of Missouri also made ad dresses. It was almost 12 o'clock when the committee on resolutions filed into the conference room, and Senator Daniel was recognized to make the report of the committee's proceed- ings. This was divided into two sections, one consisting of an ad- dress to the democrats and the oth- erofa plan of organization. He said the address in most respects was the same as that adopted by the democrats of Texas, Missouri and Mississippi. The address issued disclaims speaking with party authority, the assemblage being a voluntary one, but strongly repze- sents the party should declare for free coinage of silver. The address was read by Gover- nor Stone of Missouri, and is as fol- lows: Ataconference between a num- ber of democrats from different states who attended the non parti- san convention recently assembled at Memphis, Tenn., for the purpose of promoting the cause of free silver coinage, which conference was held after the adjournment ef the con- vention, a committee, consisting of Senators Jones of Arkansas, Tur- pie of Indiana, and Harris of Ten- lessee, was appointed and author- ized to invite representative demo- crats from the several states to meet them at Washington for consultation with the view of securing co-opera- tion and concert of action among those democrats throughout the Union who believe in adhering to the cardinal democratic policy of actual bimetallism, and whe are op- posed to committing the party to the plutocratic doctrine of gold monometallism. The present conference is the re- sult of the action then taken. ‘This is purely a voluntary assemblage and therefore does not assume to speak with party authority. Dis- claiming all right to bind any per- son by our utterances, but profound- ly conscious that the democratic party to-day confronts a crisis the most momentous in its history and fraught with far reaching perils to the people and the country, we are assembled as individual democrats to take counsel together and for the undisguised purpose of inaugurating and promoting a thorough and sys-/ cratic masses, so that they may go forward as one man with a resolute purpose to rescue the old party founded by Thomas Jefferson from plutocratic domination.

The act of 1873 demonetizing without the approval or knowledge in fastening upon this country the the democratic party has consistent- ly urged that the grievous wrong this objected has resulted in the steady appreciation of gold and cor- responding fall in the price of com- modities produced by the people. richment of the money lending class —parasites of industry; and the im- poverishment of the people and un- explained distress in all gold stand- ard countries. Experience has shown that while under the single gold standard there may be an oc- casional revival of business activity, accompanied by enhanced prices of alimited number of commodities, such revival is due to artificial and temporary causes and cannot perma- nently alleviate the sufferings due to the falling of prices brought about by the appreciation of gold and the inadequate supply of primary or redemption money. The rights of the American people the interests of the American labor and the prosperity of American in- dustry have a higher claim to the consideration of the people and law makers than the greed of foreign creditors, or the avaricious demands made by ‘idle holders of the capi- tal.’ The right to regulate its own people is a right which no free gov ernment can barter,sell or surrender. This reserved right is a part of every bond, of eyery contract and of every obligation. No creditor or claimant can set up a right that ean take pre- | cedence over a obligations to promote the welfare of the masses of its own people. This is a debt higher snd more ‘binding than all other debts, and one that itis not only dishonest but treasonable to| ignore. ‘Lhe land and its products are the basis of all deyelopment and pros perity. a country must be the basis of its credit.

PLAN OF RGANIZATION. The part of the report dealing with the plan of organization above jreferred to was read by ex-Senator Jarvis of North Carolina and is as follows: “Believing that a large majority of the Democratic voters of the Unit- ed States are in harmony with the sentiments expressed in the forego jing address, and knowing that a full} can only be ascertained and made effective through proper organized efforts, we recommend the following and free expression of their views) lrerence to and readoption of the; was thought best to defer action | i cys abo ee suggestions could be received 2 not repre reconvene “OUR VEST Unbuttons Himself to a London Inter- viewer Carlsbad, . of Missouri, says that silver will never down in America untila free coinage law is passed. “The people in the eas “believe it will be dropped as busi- ness revives, but the overwhelming sentiment in all the west and south is in favor of free coinage. I believe that the law will surely be passed in time. Senator Vest was then asked to explain the action of Kentucky and Towa if the feeling was so universal. In reply, he said: “T cannot express an opinion re- Aug t,” he said, | garding Iowa until I know how the convention was constituted. was similar to that of Kentucky, composed of state officials and office-holders, it is no criterion of as a plan for such organization: First—There shall be a national committee of Democrats who are in favor of both silver and gold as the money of the constitution, which shall be composed of one Democrat from each State and Territory, and the District of Columbia and the executive committee hereinafter pro- vided for. | Second—That until otherwise or- dered by the national committee see, James R.

H. |Henrichsen of Illinois and Casey Young of Tennessee be, and they are hereby constituted the executive committee, and shall haye full power and authority, aud it shall be their | duty at as early a day as possible to public sentiment. They would naturally coincide with Cleveland and Carlisle.” In regard to the prospects of an international monetary cenferences, Senator Vest remarked: “It is generally conceded that the other Powers are awaiting the action of England and, from all accounts, England will not alter the gold standard.” Referring to the outleok at home, the senator stated that “the gold re- serve is steadily decreasing, and the treasury is likely to be obliged to make another bargain with the syn- dicate. Iregardit as an outrage that we should be obliged to paya bonus of $11,000,000jto a syndicate, represented by Belmont and Morgan in order to prevent gold shipments.

Cleveland a Strong Man. Senator Chandler in the Granite Magazine. In view of Mr. Cleveland’s phe- nomenal political successes, it is im- possible not to attribute to him in- tellectual greatness. During his first term as President his message of 1887, demanding tariff reduction, undoubtedly caused his own and his party’s defeat in the canvass of 1588. Yet he retained his political supremacy during four years ia private life, was renominat- ed 1892 and again entered the Presi jential renewed his demand for tariff legislation and secured the passage of the dubious act of Au- gust, 1594. Although his party is overwhelmingly in fayor of the free coinage of silver, he has persistently and undauntedly opposed its policy. Whatever else may be said of him, he will never be called weak. Wheth- er dealing with the tariff, with finan- cial problems, with foreign relations or with appointments to effice, be has always formed and expressed his own opinions and enforced his views and decisions in the conduct of the executive branch of the government. Industrious, self confident, persis- tent and ceurageous, whatever judg- ment history may pass upon the principal acts of the eight years of his iron rule, he will certainly stand as the President of greater power of will than any of his predecessors, except one.
