Whereas, the demonetization of silver in 1873, enormously increased the demand for gold, enhancing its purchasing power and lowering all prices measured by that stand- ard; and Whereas, since that unjust and indefens- ible act, the prices of American products have fallen upon an average nearly fifty per cent, carrying down with them propor- tionately the money value of all other forms of property, except in- peculiarly favored localities; and Whereas, such fall of prices has destroy- ed the profits of legitimate industry, in- juring the producer for the benefit of the ron-producer, increasing the burden of the debtor and swelling the gains of the credi- tor, paralyzing the productive energies of the American people, relegating to idleness Yast numbers of willing workers, sending the shadows of despair into the home of the honest toiler, filling the land with tramps and paupers, and building up co- lcssal fortunes at the money centers; and Whereas, in the effort to maintain the gold standard the country has, within the last eighteen months in a time of profound Feace and plenty, been loaded down with $162,000,000 of additional interest-bearing debt, under such circumstances as to allow a syndicate of native and foreign bankers to realize a net profit of $10,000,000 on a single deal; and Whereas, another call is now pending for a further gold loan of $100,000,000, which, tut fer an outburst of popular indigna- tion, would also have been negotiated in the same secret manner and through the same syndicates; and Wher it stands confessed that the gold standard can only be upheld by £0 depleting our paper currency as to force the prices of our products below the Eu- ropean and even below the Asiatic level, in order that we may sgl in foreign mar- kets, thus aggravating the very evils of which our people so bitterly complain, de- &rading American labor and striking at the very foundations ef our civilization itself; and Whereas, the advocates of the gold standard persistently claim that the real cause of our distress is overproduction— that we have produced so much that it has ™made us poor—which implies that the true remedy is to close the factory, abandon the farm and throw a multitude of people out of employment—a doctrine that leaves us ahaclatery, without hope for the future; anc Whereas, the diiference of exchange be- tween silver standard countries and gold standard countries is -equivalent to a bounty equal to the difference between the value of gold and silver, in favor of the products of silver standard countries ex- ported in geld standard countries, 2nd a corresponding tariff against the products of gold standard countries exported to sil- yer-using countries; and Whereas, the cost of production other- wise in the old world, and particularly in China and Japan, is far less than the cost at which similar products can be produced or manufactured in this conniry by Amer- ican labor ithout reducing our farmers, miners, mechanics, manufacturers i other industrial workers to the level of Chinese coolies; * Therefore, be it resolved, that over and above all other questions of policy, we are in favor of restoring to the people of the United States the time-honored money of the Constitution—gold and silver, not one, but both—the money of Washington and Hamilton and Jefferson and Monroe and Jackson and Lincoln, to the end that the American people may receive honest pay for an honest product; the American debtor pay his just obligations in an honest stand- ard and not in a standard that is appre- ciated 100 per cent above all the great staples of our country; and to the end fur- ther that silver standard countries may be deprived of the unnatural advantage they now enjoy in the difference in exchange between gold and silver—an advanta; which tariff legislation alone cannot over- come. We therefore confidently appeal to the people of the United States that, leaving in abeyance for the moment all other ques- tions, however important, even momentous, they may appear, and sundering if need be all former party ties and affiliations, that they unite in one supreme effort to free themselves and their children from the domination of the money power—a power more destructive than any which has ever been fastened upon the civilized men of any race or in any age. And upon the cen- summation of their desires and efforts we invoke -the gracious favor of Divine Provi- dence. Great Enthusiasm. The report was wildly and loudly ap- plauded as it was read, and the conference seemed to be filled to the fullest extent with enthusiasm. It was read by Senator Jones, chairman. At the conclusion there was a big demonstration. The delegates arose to their feet and cheered loudly, and called for Senator Jones. He spuke for about ten minutes, and his remarks were vociferously applauded. Plans of Campaign. The following is the report of the com- mittee on organization. The plan of cam- paign outlined by it is the same as pub- lished in The Star some time ago.

The mode of selecting delegates to said national convention shall be as prescribed by the national committee subject, to the following regulations: All delegates shall be elected at public conventions, or at’ public meetings, to be held either in the several states at large or in the several counties or districts of such slates as the national committee may pre- scribe.

Speech-makirg characterized the after- noon and night sessions of the silver con- ference yesterday. Pending the repo-ts of committees, which had been appointed at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the pent-up oratory of the delegates had to be given vent. The committees appointed by Gen, War- ner, chairman, were as follows: Resolutions and address—Senator John P. Jons, Nevada; Josepa Sheldon, Connecti- cut; H. F. Bartine, Chicago; J. H. Torimer, Philadelphia, and Congressman J. L. Mc- Laurin. Organization—Senator W. M. Stewart, Nevada; I. L. Johnson, Virginia; R. Mc- Intosh, Utah, I. N. Stevens, Colorado, and C. J. Hillyer of this ci The commitices expected to have had their reports ready at the night session, but were not prepared, and the conference ad- jJourned until this morning, at 11 o'clock. Chairman Warner was requested to act with the committee on resolutions, and did so, and the afternoon session was presided over by Judge Henry G. Miller of Chicago, who is mentioned as a presidential candi- date. There was not thorough unanimity at the outset of the speaking. Editor Holden of the Cleveland (Ohio) Plain-Dealer and Fred. T. Lofton of Indiana objected to leaving the democratic party at present, and disclaimed any connection with the ropulists. They were informed that they would not have to leave the party now, but were expected to do so when the Chicago convention failed to stand by silver. They agreed to this. The disagreements were smoothed over by speeches by Monn Page of Virginia and Harry Skinner of North Carolina, dele- gates. Speeches were made by Niles of Qhio, Bradshaw of Montana, Porter ef Virginia and others. Gen. Jos. Sibley of Pen: most prominent speak: He expressed his willingn to join with any party, no matter what the name, which will stand for silver this year. Hatch is Independent. At night the prominent speakers were Gen. J. B. Weaver of Iowa, Senator Butler of North Carolina, ex-Congressman Har- tine of Nevada, T. M. Patterson of Colo- rado and ex-Congressman W. H. Hatch of Missouri. The speech of the latter was the sensation of the evening. He declared him- self a democrat, but safd he would never vote that ticket if it was not for the restoration of silver. He is going to stand by the party until the Chicago convention If it does not act for silver he will be foun with the party that is for the white metal. He was vociferou: pplauded, and the new perty people cordially embraced him as a valuable recruit. —_—_ Rescue Mass Meeting. ‘lvania was the the afterncon. The rescue mass meeting which is to be held under the united board of the Hope and Help Mission, this city, Mrs. S. D.
