- - SILVER SENTIMENT CHANGED | Radical Free Ooinage Men Advocating the Liberal Purchase of Gold. INTERESTING FEATURE OF THE FIGHT Halt of the Popullsts in Congress in Favor of nvesting to Unitmited Extent in the Yellow WasnixaTox Buneav or Tie Bre, ) 513 Fovwreestn Streer, Wasnixaroy, Sept, 8. silver question which is paramount ‘o all others secms to have lain dormant until the last scene in the house of representatives, when the repeal bill was passed, The strongest areument made upon the stump in favor of continuing the present silver purctinse or the unlimited coinage of siiver has been that it would continue the constant increaso of the currency volume, and an iucrease which would be affected by noother process, Those who argued in favor of a larger purchase of gold bullion and the free und unlimited coinage of that metal were met with the cry of “gold bug.” 1t was cons tantly held by intelligzent men on the hustings, that by no hook or crook conld the circulating medium be increased through gold ay it could through silver. Just boforo the last silver scene in the house a statement was received from the Treasury department which showed that the volume of currency could be incrensed as rapily, upon judicious grounds, through gold pucchases as through silver. I was the general belief, and the belief generally obtaius et present, that when the gavern- ment bought $1 worth of silver bullion 1t immedintely proceeded to coin a silver dol- lar out of about three-fifths of the bullion and to pt into eirculation the profits, which amount to about 8 per cent of the pur chuse. It was stated by the treasury ofi- cials that under the present law the govern- ment only issues §1 in money to represent §1 invested in silver bullion and the seignor- age or profit was stored away in the mints of the country as profit and did not circulate ot all A feature of the Intoresting Detalls, The scignorage under th the present law now aggregates about $50,- 000,000 This profit is now stored away in bullion, and there is in circulation only the operation of co amount of certificates or silver dollars representing the amount invested iu bullion under the present law, which compels the nment to purchase £54,000,000 worth of bullion every year. If the law provided for the coinage of the seignorage it would have put £0,000.000 more money into circulation since July 1 Th ple ngraving and printing is, un the present law, constantly printing si certificates. There are agreat many of th printed in advance of the time when they aro 1o be used or paid out. All of the work upon them is done, with the exception of the and_signature of the treasurer of tha United States. When the director of the mint wakes a monthly purchase of silver he makes un order on the treastirer of tho Unitea States for the money with which to pay for the bullion. The treasurer simply issues an order upon the chief of the bureau of engraving and. printing for enough sitver certificates to meet the obligatiou ncurred. The silver is paid for, doltar for doliar, in silver cectificates, and no recognition is taken of the largo profit which would accrue $iroat ot to the government if the bullion was to bo coined. Tn the first place, the bullion is not coined but stored away, and just cnough money is issued to pay for it. If it were all coined under the law now existing. the seignorege or profit would not be coined, but stored away s o reserve, Would Be the Same with Gold. It can thus be secn that just as much money could be put mto circulation by the purchase of gold bullion and its coinage, or the issue of gold certificates to represent tho gold bullion, s is circulated under the pres- ent law by the purchuse of silver. The ad- vantage in purchasing gold is apparent to every one. Gold has never fluctuated down- ward, especiaily in the coin, because it s the standard of money the world over. So much more silver is used in the arts ana is sold as a commercial commodity in bulk, that it s looked upon more usu commercial article than a money metal, There are & ereat many free coinage silver men in congress who have looked into this phase of the question and huve come to tho conclusion that it would be better for the fovernment to enter into a carecr of the un- imited purchase of gold, until our supply of old was increased about’ a billion dollars, "en we would have such a great volume of both gold and silver that it would be impos- sible for any unfavorable turn 1 interna- tionnl commercial affairs to drain all of our old away, and we would have such a strong acking of the yellow metal that the silver we now own would always be preserved at its full face value in money. Thero are some radical free silver coinage men who g0 50 far as to advocate the issu- ance of say 00,000 worth of 31 per cent bonds for the purpose of entering upon the gold purchases. Never has sentiment changed so rapidly or so strongly against a money as recently in_opposition’ to silver. Half of tho populists in congress are in favor of the unlimited purchase of gold as a means of malutaiaing the parity between our silver sua gold money. Tmportant Measure Prepared. Senator Manderson will offer a bill in the senate to allow the transcripts of judg. ments i the United States courts filed in ono district or circuit to be filed in any other distriot or cireuit, the object being to reach the property of principals and ex- haust ull romedy ‘acainst such principals Whenever they may have anything within the United Stutes before any action can be taken against boudsmen or sureties, As the law now stands all remedy against the principal must be first exhuusted within the district where the judgment was socured, but it often happens that a principal has amplo property beyond that district, which the creditor is 1ot bound to pursue. as the law now stands. The bill proposes, i other words, to make the law in the case of federal Judgments comply with the laws of the various states in this regard. Will Fermit © Dilatory Tacties, It is ovident that if the silver men attempt to prevent a vote on the silver repeal bill in the senato by resorting to filibustering or dilatory tactics Mr. Voorhees will favor clo- ture in that body. The democratic leaders are adverse to imiting i any way the free: dow of debate in the upper house, us it has always been one of the unwritten traditions of the senate that every senator should be permitted to say all ho wanted to on any given subject, It has always been the hoast of the senato thut itwas a deliberative body. The adoption of the cloture rule, by which the wajority has it dn “its power at any time to close debate and force a vote, would be such an innovation in the senate that natur- ally some of its leading mewbers would oppose the new order of things. If this was done it would, to some extent, stultify those democrats who, four yeurs ago, made such o fierco fight to prevent the passage of the *force BlL" Ihe only thing then which preveuted that bill from becoming a law w the fuct that there was uo means for secu ing a vote, uad although the demcerats w iu & winority thoy ‘sere ablo, by filibustering and long speeches, to prevent the republicans frow votiug.

WILL MEET I 1T BOSTON Last Day's Session of the International Sunday School Conventlon St. Louts, Sept. 2.—Combining with the annual festival of the St. Louis Sunday schools and after reviewing a parade of fully 10,000 peovle and Sunday school chil- dren, the seventh international Sunday school convention held its concluding ses- sion in the grand stand of the St. Louis Jockey club. Not less than 25,000 persons were on the grounds and the necessary re- sult was a confusing babel of sounds. Rey. Dr. Gibson of London made the ovening prayer, following which was an ad- dress by R. S. ‘Armstrong of Massuchusetts und one by Rev. J. L. Hurlburt. The repori of the committee on resolutions came next in order and was read, after which the con- vention took a recess Tor dinner. At the afterncon session, after prayer by Rev. Dr. [I. C. Woodruff, arguments on the platform began, but after a hall hour's talk the report of the resolution committee was adopted with but one changs, viz: In the in- structions to the lesson committee the tem- perance clause was so changed as to remove from that committee all instructions except that in relation to temperance and on that subject it shall be bound throughout the re- mainder of the present septennial series of lessons by the instructions of the convention of 1860, The resolutions adopted, after expressing the fullest thanks to local oficers, press, ete,, endorso training schools for teachers, extended use of the bible urge a more us o text book in Sunday schools, pleads for wider cooperation of the denominations, denounce the liquor traffic and plead for its utter abolition, thanks retiriug officers, otc for their labors, praise and express confi- dence in the international lesson committee, record the blessing to the church and world of those lessons and then eascs the com- mittee from all restrictions upon its work, except that the action of the Pittsburg con- vention of 1890 upon temperance shall re- main in force. Boston was unanimously selected as the place for the convention in 1506, By voluntary contribution £,000 was raised toward the debtedn, overhanging the Model Sunday school building at the World's fair, and then, after singing the doxolo, the convention adjourned sine die, cl the way for a larger body, the World's day school convention, which will hola its first session tomorrow afternoon, Hot Springs Gossip.

The Filual Resolts, to The populists of Douglas county met in convention yesterday afternoon at Knights of Labor hall to select forty-six delegates to attend the state convention at Lincoln on Tuesday next. Omaha and South Omaha were fully represented and nine of the thir- teen country precincts seut in properly ac- credited delegates. The frec comage idea was rampant and the convention adopted a resolution demand- ing of congress the immediate passage of & law providing for the free and unlimited coinage of the white metal at the ratio of 16 to 1, and declaring flatly against anything looking to a compromise that would fall short of their expressed choice. J. W. Edgerton, who was the populist cholce for supreme judge two years ago, and who put in the entire legislative session of two years ago, and again last winter, lobbying agaiast the passage of a stock yards regula- tion bill, seemingly forgot the ungenerous refusal of the B. & M. to give hima job as attorney in a certain town in the central western portion of the state in return for vices rendered by him while standing euard in the state house corridors, and there in all his glory to protest against the nomination of Maxwell by the indevendents. In this undertaking he was vigorously assisted by V. O. Strickler,who introduced an ingneniously worded resolution binding the delegates to support nape but those who had been openly identified with the popu- lists. Tickled Each Other Verbally. The convention was called to order by the chairman of the county central committe and a season of political speechmaking was inaugurated before a motion could be made or temporary organizatien elfected. Councilman Hascall made a red hot free silver speech, in which he quoted George Francis Train authority. Rev. Mr. Wheeler of South Omaha, who was the independent nomiuce for congress last fall, was called for, but said he did not come prepared to make a speech. He rejoiced over the growth of the “calamity howling party,” and said that although not as san- guine of victory as he once was, he trusted that all woula come out right in the end. Rev. Mr. Bell was next in demand, and he admitted a feeling of uneasiness becau seated in a populist convention for the first time. He thought the time had come when the péople of Nebraska must stand up as a whole for their own interests and cast their votes for the populist ticket. Clark Potter said he felt too serious to make a very enthusiastic speech. He hoped to see delegates elected who would “make a legislature thuv would start f coinage of silver in the legislature.” He was suve that all the western states would have to do this very thing sooner or later, as congress was not” going to grant the desired relief. Things had come to such a pass that it wasn't safe for a bread wagon to try to get along the streets of New York today, and he didn't blame men for taking food when they were starving, as there was a higher law than that of Wall street to meet a crisis like this, He wanted everybody to attend the meeting at Mewz hall next Thursday night, when a scheme would be concocted to keep unem- ployed men and women from freezing to death this winter. He knew thac the coal men would not spread their conl around for nothing, and that the bankers would not open their vaults and distri- bute the $2000,000 hoarded there to relieve the suffering they had caused, Ho said it was not time to shoulder guns, but he wanted the south and west to move ou iu solid phalanx to Washington and remove tho capital to St. Louis. Getting Down to Buslnesi, The chairman rapped for order ana sug- gested that further speechmaking be post- poned until after the work of the conven- tion was accomplished. Silas Robbins, a colored attorney, was elected temporary chaivman. He expressed his appreciation of the honor, and then proceeded to speak of the urgency of hard work at this timo. He did not take kindly to the sugges- tion of a combination between the south and but_thought producers in all parts of the country should combine. He wanted the law of love to govern men ana thought that was the position for men to take. He re- Joiced to see a division in the old parties and Toresaw great nccessions to the ranks of the people’s party arrayed against the snobs and others, “the contemptioleness of which could ' mot be expressed because of the poverty of the English lunguage.” g Hosaid it was folly to think of settling this question in any other than by the bal: lot, and prover voting could cnly be secured after proper education. E. I Leavenworth was elected secretary. A committee of five was appointed on cre- dentials, the chair naming H. Cohen, John Joflcont, R. L. Wheeler, Gus Willlams and J. W. Logan. While the committee was out, J. W. Edger- ton of South Omaha was induced to uulease a few ideas. He foresaw greav impending disaster, just us had been forescen by several other political prophets of his faith. He thought tho people had pussed the period of cducation, and that 75 per cent of the people were in favor of the demands of the populist party. The troublo was that the populists wore not shrewd cnough and had been played for suckers, Where “0ur Joe" Stands, The populists must become politicians, The opposition was already trying to the populists to nomiuate a republican for the supreme bench, The republicans had postponed their con- vention until after the populists, in order that they might nominate this sime man and then elect him. Then where would the pobulist party be, with the wind all taken out of its sails! Idgerton made u ferveny plea against sending a delegation from Douglas county that would favor the nomi- nation of Maxwell. "The committec on credentials reported 135 delegates present with proper credentials, “Phe report was adopted. he temporary organization was made permanent, and the convention proceeded to the election of delegates, A wraugle ensucd us to the apportionment, but the city was finally given tyenty-seven delegates, South Omaha soven, country pre cincts ten, and two at large. Eager itroduced a resolution endorsing the W Laborer, and an amendment was offered to include George Washington Brewster's Populist, Brewster objected to beiug included. but both were endorsed. A free silver resolution, introduced by Allen Itoot, was adopted A ten-minute recess was ordered to allow the various wards and precincts to select their delegates, as allowed by the apportion- ment, and on reconvening the following was announced as the result: Delegntes Chosen, First Ward—L 8.

Mr. Wheeler acted as kpbnsor for George Erancis Train and soliohed names of those who would attend the World's fair at Train’s best rat The county wanted some information as to the sentiment relative to an early or late county nominating convention, and moved a declaration in favor of a late convention to see what the other parties did. Joe Edgerton scented trouble, and Allen Root feared a coalition of some kind. He insisted that every time the populists had cohabited with another political party the populists had been the victims, and this resolution meant @ bargain and a trade that would bring trouble. Edgerton again bobbed up to ask that the delegation be instructed for Prof. A. A. Munro of South Omaha, for regent of the university. Ho insisted that for six years he had been an ‘‘unswavering” populist. Allen Root argued that tho “‘convention put their heads together and select an agr culturist,” as it was of much more impor- tance than the candidacy of a highcocko- lorum like Mr. Munro. A South Omasha delegate said that M Munro had always been in favor of the * demption of the wrongs of all parties.” Root insisted thAt the bane and poison that was killing the populist party wes the multiplicity of candidates. This did not discourage J. M. Kinney from presenting tho claims of Mr. D' Allemand for the the endorsement for regent. The resolution was finally withdrawn, and the convention adjourned, after listening patiently for half un hour to T. C.
