Pa—— SILVER MEN BREAKING AWAY Tssue a Manifesto Calling for the Formation of a New Party, NO OTHER ROAD TO PERMANENT SUCCESS Unless Tts Friends Can Unite in a New Party with Free Colnnge as fts Corner Stone They Can See No Hope for the American People, WASHINGTON, March 5.-~The following was today fssued by the American Bimetalitc league: “A statement of the lssues on which the new party will organize: The money question 1s now tadisputably the dominant lssue In the United States, and will remaln so until set- tled, and settled rightly. Other questions, however important, must watt for this, which, 10 & greater or less extent, Involves all others, The issue Is between the gold standard, gold bonds and bank currency on the one side, and the bimetallic standard, no bonds and gov- ernmest currency on the other. “First, On this issue we declare ourselves 10 b unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, and demand the immediate return to the coustitutional standard of gold and silver by the restoration by this government, independent of any forcign power, of the unrestricted coinage of hoth silver and gold into standard money, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact cquality; the silv coln to be a full legal tender, equal with Bold in payment of all debts and dues, public or private, “Second, We hold the power to control and Togulate a paper currency Is inseparable from the power to coin money, and hence that all currency intended to eirculate as money should by issued and its volume controlled by the general government only, and should by leal tender. *“Third, are unalterably opposed to the issue by the United States of interest-bearing bonds in thne of p and demand the pay- ment of all coin obligations of the United States, s provided by existing laws, in either gold cr silver coln, at the option of the gov- ernment and nol at tho option of the cred- {tor. On this issuc we appeal from the dic- tation of the money power to the intelligence and patriotism of the American people. “Address to the People of the- United States—The signers of the declaration of in- dependence held that a decent respect for the opinicns of mankind required that reasons should be given for dissolving the bonds that bad bound the colonies to Great Britain, So We, who find it necessary to sever our re- lations with the parties with which we have heretofore acted and form a new alliance in @ common cause, deem it proper that some of the reasons therefor should be submitted to a candid public. GOLD MEN ARE UNITED. “The monetary reform, for which we con- tend as above set forth, 1s, in our judgment, 80 vital to the common welfare and so neces- sary to a return to conditions of prosperity in this countiy as to prelude longer delay In the inauguration of a movement the pur- pose of which is to bring together all who believe in the necessity of the proposed re- form for this object and this alone. Those in favor of the gold standard are, and have been united in purpose and action. Party lines do not divide them when this issue is raised. Differences on other questions are then laid aside and together they ‘In weil ‘beseeming ranks march along the way.’ “‘On the other hand, those who are in favor of a return to the constitutional standard of 8old and silver are split into as many di- visions as there are parties. Silver repub- licans from the west and south, to the great delight of the leaders of the republican party, insist on contending for their cause only ‘within the lines of that party; and southern and western democrats, earnest silver men, equally to the delight of the leaders of the democratic party, continue the contest on their part only within the lines of the democratic party. In other words, the advocates of the bimetallic standard, through the unrestricted coinage of silver as well as £0ld, now contend for their cause in organi- zations which are controlled by the gold party. Hence, however zealous in the cause one may be, no results are possible because his party refuses to carry out his views or to permit them to be carried out. “It s believed there are now, and have been for twenty years, a large majority of the voters in the United States in favor of restoring the free coinage of both gold and silver, but the opportunity to vote their con- victions has never been given them and their will has been continually thwarted by party chicanery. There has not been a congress for twenty years which, except for the in- fluence of executive patronage or the fear of an executive veto, would not have voted to open the mints again to silver on the same terms as to gold. Indeed, each house of congress bas at different times separately passed free coinage bills, but this action has as often been frustrated by party manipula- tlon. It is as necessary, therefore, to have a president in sympathy with the cause as to have a congress In favor of it. But enough has been said to show the impossi- bility of gaining our cause as long as we re- main divided or fight only in the ranks of the gold parties or In organizations con ~trolled by the advocates of the gold standard. As well might our fathers have expected to Win the independence of the colonies if, while contending for the cause of liberty, they had refused to separate from the tories. Independence could never have been won by fighting for liberty In British regiments. SILVER FRIENDS MUST ITE. “And, fellow citizens, this great cause will mever be won without united action. It will never be won unless those who believe in it come together and elect a congress and a president on this issue. There is no hope Whatever that the republican party, as a party, will change its policy, give up the gold ‘standard, and restore the bimetallic standard. There are no grounds for such hope and we belleve they are deluded who look for such a change of policy by this party. The republican party is committed Dy its leaders, by its record, and by the press behind it, to the gold standard, sup- ported by gold bonds, and to the retirement of greenbacks and the surrender of the fssue and control of paper currency to the banks No less persistent and effective is the con- trol of the money power over the organiza- tion of tho democratic party. While un- doubtedly a large majority of the members of that parly are opposed to the gold stand- ard they have been powerless to control the party organization against it and much less to secure through it the restoration of the bimotallic standard. “While this is the case it cannot be expected that republicans will abandon convictions of a lifetime on other questions and go Into the democratic party in a body or into a wing of that party; nor will democrats glve up con- victions they believe to be essential in gov- ernment and go over to the republican party or to a divislon of that party; nor is it pos- sible to induce republicans and democrats to- gether to go into the populist party, for the Teason, If for no other, that the platform of that party contalns declarations and the party advocates theorles to which they can- not give thelr assent. But we must in some way come together on this lssue or the cause s lost and with it the independence of the people. No old party ever carried through a great reform. “‘New bottles for new wine.' Therefore 0o course seems possible than that to subordi- nate for the time being other questions and come (o the front in a new organization 1o fight the battle of 1596 on the one great issue on which the prosperity and happiness of the people so largely depend. It is be- Heved that this cause can be won in no other way and that to continue to contend for it only within the lnes of the existing parties 18 to cowrt defeat at the outset and to lose the battle ln the election. The purpose of ection 18 not to array section against | this elec y galnat | Dennoylvania section, class against class, nor o require anybody to glve up his convictions on other questions or to sever his party relations for any other purpose than to unite in a common cause—the cause of justice against injusti of prosperity instead of adversity; of con- tinued employment of labor Instead of forced fdleness; of abundance and happiness. in- stead of want and misery. ROAD TO PEACE AND PLENTY. “There can be no doubt, moreover, that a veturn to the standard of gold and silver will promote In the highest degree the busi- interests of the entire country, while | where, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1895. the continuance of the present political policy must necoesarily be atfended by a furthor fall of prices, imperiling business enterpriss still more and prolonging Indefinitely the present stagnant condition of trade and in- dustry. Better prices under existing condi- tions cannot be expected. A debtor nation cannot maintain an even list of prices with ereditor natlons. The single gold standard ¢an be maintained in the United States only by forcing down the price level of com- modities emough below the priee level of other countries to turn gold this way, or at any rate to Induce our creditors to take commodities of us for what we owe them in- stead of demanding gold. Any policy, ther. fore, that temds to raise prices necessarily operates to expel gold. This condition of things cannot be overcome by tariffs, much less by free trads. In tho payment of an- nual dues to other conntries we must com- pote with other debtor countries; with Ar- gentine, with Fgypt, with India, with all the colonles of Great Britain, and worst of all, with Asiatic races, with industries stimu- lated as nevor before by the low price of silver. These conditions, from which there 1s no escapo as long as the gold standard poliey is pursued, increases the gravity of the situation in this country to such an ex- tent as to compel the serlous attention of all patriotic citizens. How idle, In the presence of such conditions, to expect to maintaln the gold standard by an Indefinite issue of bonds; and how unwise, If not reckless, such a polley must seem to thoughtfol men every- It is estimated already the rise of gold, by increasing debts, has absorbed from $10,000,000,000 to $50,000,000,000 of the world's wealth. The Inauguration of a moverent for relief from these enthralling conditions must spring from the people. Politicians never institute great reform: Idle to wait for thom. This cause ls the cause of the people, and it is believed that it more profoundly concerns the welfare of the great body of the people than any ques- tion since the civil war, if not, indeed, since our independence was gained; for In its ul- timate outcome the question of a sufficiency or searcity of money is a question of freedom or serfdom for the mass of the people. DEWARE OF ENTANGLING ALLIANCES. “While not nnmindful of the interests of the poople of other countries In this question, it f5 not an fssue that can be safely submitted to the decision of foreign countries. Our system was established over 100 years ago, with a population of lcss than 4,000,000, Our fathers did not wait for or Invite the concurrence of other powers; nor did the framers of the constitution contemplate any such action. They legisluted for the United States, and we now, as Americans, must legislate for ourselves. “Beware of entangling alliances In this and other matters, and especlally of allurements of international conferences to detain action in our behalf in the delusive hope that other countries will care for our interests better than we can ourselves. No other country has over asked our approval of its financial poli “It is believed the United States has power enough in the commercial world to alone restore the link between gold and silver broken in 1873, but should gold for any rea- son temporarily g0 to a premium it will none the less operate on prices generally, and certainly a premium on gold here would, like a fall in the price of silver in silver coun- tries, accrue on every sido to the advantage of the United States. Fellow citizens, the power Is still in your hands to right by the bullot the great wrong of 1873 and to save yourselves and your children from the calam- itles which the gold standard policy, if per- sisted in, will surely bring upon you and them. We pray you, therefore, not to let the settlement of this question go beyond the election of 1896, but, subordinating all ques- tions for the time being to this, the supreme issue, settle this now, and settle it forever. And ‘we especially urge upon you the Im- portance of immediate organization In town- ships and counties throughout the entire country for the purpose of carrying on this great movement for the common good of all.

WASHINGTON, March 5.—The representa- | tives of the Cherokee Indian naticn who have been here several mouths attending to interests of their tribe left today homes in the Indian territory. The del:gation consisted of Messrs. Duncan, Thompson, Gray and Principal Chief Harris. They bave been in Washington throughout the session of congress urging favorable legislation for the Cherokees ~ and seeking to pre- the for their and it were | vent proposed measures Injurfous to the tribal interests, The delegates claim to have accomplished practically all that was hoped for and are fn the main satisfied with the re- sults of thelr misslon. PREFERENCES TO SAVINGS BANK Clash Botween State and Federal Law to Be Settled by the Sapreme Conrt. WASHINGTON, March 5.—The supreme court of the United States today heard argo- ments in the case of Charles Davis, plaintift In error, versus the Elmira Savings bank. The case involves the question as to whether the claims of savings banks shall have | preference over the other elaims on national barks which have failed and involve large | Interests. It appears that at the time this | case was In the court of appeals in May last there were more than $18,000,000 of savings bank deposits in national banks in | New York alone, Nearly all the states have laws giving various preferences in the ad- ministration of the assets of Insolvent banks. There arc in charge of the comptroller of t treasury the assets of more than 100 national in process of administration. Suits ve been brought in other states upon such preferential statutes and more are threat- ened, The moneys realized from the assets of these falled national banks are In the treasury awaiting distribution by the comp- troller to the creditors of the different banks and the United States is a creditor, The decision will, when made, determine what shall be done In all similar cases with such moneys and will not only affect the savings barks, but the depositors of the failed national banks as well. There is apparently a conflict between tho state law of New York and the congresional statute Learing on the question, as there is between the national law and laws of various states, The supreme court of New York and the court of appeals of that state have both held in the case now before the supreme court of the United States that the state law was valld and that the savings bank was entitled to a preference in the sottle- ment of the affairs of the Elmira National bank, in which the funds of the Elmira Savings bank were deposited and of which Davls, the plaintift in error, is receiver. The case of Sam Downing, alias Sam Hickory, was revived to the extent that the hearing on it was postponed for three weeks on the suggestion of ex-Attorney General Garland, who said it was a very “‘tough case,” though he did not particularize, The case comes to the supreme court from the circuit court for the western district of Arkansas, where it was tried by Judge Parker, who in this case as in others ap- pears to have clashed somewhat with the supreme court. This is the second time the case has been before the supreme court. Hickory is an Indian and was t:led and con- victed originally of murder committed in the Indian territory. The arguments in the cases Involving the constitutionality of the income tax law will be heard tomorrow. There are three such cases on the court docket, viz: Those of J. G. Moore, for an injunction against the collector of internal revenue; of uarles Pollock against the Farmers Toan and Trust company et al., and of Lewis Hyde against the trust company, all of which have been advanced and will be passed upon together. Attorney General Olney has announced his intention to represent the government per- sonally. RUSSIA REACHING OUT FOR MARKETS Seeking to Send Her Flour to Compote with American Production. WASHINGTON, March 5.—Russia is about to0 make a determined effort to reach out for and capture some of the great markets for flour, such as Eugland, the borders of the Mediterrancan sea and Asia, which are at present largely supplicd by the United States. The government is backing the project, and promising to afford special transportation rates and facilities for the export trade in flour and to advance loans to the Russian millers to enable them to extend their operations. These facts appear in a report to the State department by United States Consul General Kard at St. Peters- burg. He describes at length the proceed- ings of the Russian millers’ convention held in St. Petersburg last January, which, he says, may interest the millers of the United States as affecting their future trade. The convention was held under the auspices of the Russian government with the purpose of fostering the exportation of Russian flour. Many subjects were discussed, such as the cost of production of flour, the possibility of lowering port expenses, the prospect of find- ing foreign markets for bran, the best form of government loans and the establishment of technical schools as in other European countries, The government representatives promised that if a national association of millers were formed, reductions and immu- nities in the transportation charges would be granted. A representative of .the govern- ment bank promised that the millers' sug- gestion concerning loans would be examined and presented to the minister of finance for confirmation. A committee was apointed to draw up a project and the meeting adjourned to May 4 next. SCHEME WILL NOT WOKK LONGE Publishers Quoting Bogus Law May Get Into Trouble. WASHINGTON, March 5.—Assistant At- torney General Thomas of the Postofice de- partment has made an important ruling in regard to the so-called ‘“‘newspaper laws.” Mr. Thomas decides that a publisher who makes a demand for payment of subscription to his paper through the mails, accompany- ing the demand with,a threat of enforcing payment by the use of these pretended laws, may be prosecuted for attempting to obtain money under false pretense, provided he knows that thcse laws have no existence as Iaws or judicial decisions. The so-called laws referred to are those often promulgated by some newspapers to the effect that sub- scriptions to a paper cannot be stopped until full payment of arreardge has been made and that a publisher may prosccute in crim- inal action a subscriber who refuses to take his paper from the office, not having pald for arrearage, or a subscriber who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. These rulcs, the assistant attorney general says, have no ex- istence under the law. SATOLLI'S PRESENCE DEMANDED, Chieago Catholics Think His Interference Nocessary to Provent Bloodshed. WASHINGTON, March 5.—Mgr. Satolli has received an unanimous petition urging him to go to Chicago and suppress the operations of a soclety said to be terrorizing the Cath- olic community and threatening bloodshed, The reason for the inflammatory document was not understood until press reports an- nounced that the friends of the murdered Dr. Cronin were petitioning Mgr. Satolli to go to Chicago and tako steps against the Clan-na- Gael. The paper recelved here made no refer- ence to Dr. Cronin beyond saying that the secret soclety had alréady murdered a man and threatened to murder others. There was no written communication to the delegate, except a line on tho margin of the petition saying his presence In Chicago was impera- tive at once. Mgr. Satolli pald no attention to the anonymous appeal, and it 1s not his in- tention to take any part in the revival of the Cronin agitation or (o investigate the Clan- na-Gael. The subject is said to be entirely out of his jurizdiction, FALK TRIAL DEMANDED, Americans Accused of Insurrsction in Cuba 10 Bo Protected, WASHINGTON, March 5.—While it may be that United States Consul General Willlams at Havana has acted upon his responsibility in other cases, it is learned that but in one instance was he instructed by the State de- partment to intervens with the Cuban author- itles in behalf of an American citizen under arrest for complicity in the revolution in Chill. This was the case of Jose Maria Agulerre, to which attention was directed by the senate resolution, offered in the closing hours of congress. The consul general was in- structed to examine and report upon (this case. He found that Agulerre had been ar- rested in Havana, and removed to another jurisdiction. The Cuban authorities, not- withstanding the fact that the island was un- der martial law, have arranged to try the priscner before a tribunal, and the consul gen- eral will kesp an eye cn the proceedings to see that he has a fair trial. Examinations for Federal Ofcers, WASHINGTON, March 6.—The civil sery- ice commissioners have announced several Candidates for the 'offce of Iibrary cata- logner at $1,200 pet' abhum in the Agricul- tural department will dindergo examinations on March 22 and 33, for library clerks at $840 on March 22, and for the office of as- sistant in the offic# bl experiment stations, at $1,000, on the (28th. Applications for the position of carpenter in the sixth audi- tor's office, at $1,000, will be examined on the 16th Inst. NEBRASKANS AT WASHINGTON, When tho Congressionnl Members Will Re. torn Home and Ahelr Plans, WASHINGTON, March 5.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Congressman McKeighan has par- tially recovered his Vislon, but his eyes are still in a serious condition, Congressman Hafnor will leave for hom on Friday. He has business with the De- partment of Agricultare which will detain him here until that date, Congressman MeikleJohn will be engaged for a week or more in attending to his cor- respondence which has been interfered with of late on account of legislative work. Mr. Mercer will go to Florida next week for a brief outing and Mefklejohn will return to Nebraska. Senator Manderson was at the capitol to- day for a few minutes. He will reach Omaha about March 26. Senator Allen was very busy today in his committee room. He ha scores of letters which can only be answered after he has visited the executive ment for Information desired by spondents.

He has turned over all his pension matters to his successor, Judge Strode. By a decision of the supreme court just handed down, Mr. Bryan has been successful in the first case before that tribunal, his corre of the Ne- Washington, ENGLAND'S EAP TELEGRAPMS, Enormous Growth of [fasiness Since the Government Took Control. WASHINGTON, March 5.—A sketch show- ing the great development of the telegraph in Great Britain since it passed under gov- crnment control in 1870, as a result of Gladstone's efforts, is given in a report to the State department from United States Con- sular Clerk Martin at Southampton. He shows that all the separate companies lines were taken by the government in 1870 for £11,000,000, and that in the year succeeding the government built 15,000 miles of wire to connect the various systems. As an il- lustration of the results of their policy, the reports show that while in 1870 the total number of telegrams handled weekly by all offices was estimated at from 128,000 to 2 000, in 1893 the total exceeded 1,100,000, the number sent annually exceeded 70,000,- 000. In 1869 the English press service was 22,000,000 words; now it amounts to 600,000, 000 words, thirly-six times more than for- merly. The present press rate is absurdly small as compared with the tariff prior to 1870, and in place of sending seventy-five words per minute ohe way, the wires now carry 500 words a milnute, and six messages are sent simultaneously on one wire. The service is performed with perfect punctu- ality, the average time of transmission of a message being about seven or nine minutes as agnins. two or three hours in 1870. The rate s 12 cents for twelve words, pald by stamps. It Is not possible to calculate the cost to the treasury .of the telegraph service because of its combination with the postal service, but the English government does not consider it as a_means of revenue, but rather as a means of helping trade and in- forming the public. COLD INJURED GRAIN CROPS. rance, England and Rassla Folt Severity of the Winter. WASHINGTON, March 5.—An Agricultural department bulletin reports extreme cold and heavy snows in all parts of France and heavy trosts und snow storms of exceptional severity in Great Britain throughout Janu- ary. The usual complaints of lack of suffi- cient snow in the southern districts of Russia to protect the winter seedings from the severe cold have reached the department. The area devoted to wheat in India has been reduced $ per cent. The majority of ocean liners report a_further decline in transpor- tation rates, thirteen indicating materially lessened rates and five advances, The forthcoming seventh session of the French popular credit congress, organized chiefly by co-operative societies, will be held at Numes between April 15 and May 15. The organization committee has appealed to agricultural and trade societies, banks and syndicates, and to French and foreign econo- mists to co-operate in the study of popular credit questions. the Congressman Deserting Washington. WASHINGTON, March 5.—The exodus of members and ex-members of congress from Washington, which began Immediately after the adjournment, was kept up today. Ix-Speaker Crisp, who was among those who came to the capitol, said he expected to remain n the city until Friday, when he would leave for home for a season of rest and recreation. A majority of the senators will probably remain in Washington for a week or ten days, but al left imme- diately for their homes. The senators have business to close up which will require some time, while not a few from the north, who are comfortably situated in Washington, will remain here during the spring. Raiking the Smauil Pensioners, ASHINGTON, March 5.—The officials of the pension bureau will soon take active measures to put into operation the recent legislation raising all pensioners receiving less than $6 a month to that rating. Tt is estimated 4,000 cases will be affected by the legislation and will involve an increase of about $1,700,000. The bureau has glven no- tice that the pushing of individual cases will be unnecessary. Application for Parion Denled.

Warnings and Suggestions to Amoerican Merchants from Consul Stera. WASHINGTON, March 5.—The German government is rapidly extending the functions of its consuls, and improving the entire con- sular eystem, with the purpose of enlarging its foreign trade. Strenuous efforts are being | made to capture the lucrative markets of the | United States, in particular, for German man- | ufactures and great success is attending the work. United States Consul Stern at Bam- berg, Germany, who has been closely watch- ing the development of the German system, and has already made one report upon the subject to the State department, calling at- tention (o eome features that might well be adopted in our own consular service, has just submitted another report, as a sequel, direct- ing notice to a further experiment undertaken by the German government in the interest of German export trade to the United States. He says that in many leading German news- papers the following notice has been pub- lished: “The director of the German consulate at Chicago will pay an official visit to his native country (Germany) in March or April of this year, for the purpose of delivering a number of addresses on_the subject of commercial re- Iations in the United States and in particular the great opportunities offcred for affecting an increase in the export of German merchandise to that country. Business branches and firms in search of new markets for disposing of their ware, and who desire to receive informa- tion regarding business affairs in America should address themselves to the commercial department of the consulate at Chicago.” Mr. Stern says the German consuls are all trained men. The practice which resembled our own of making honorary consuls, is on the decline, and in Germany, these officers are men who make a profession of their offices, Mr. Stern points out, however, that these consuls are aided in their efforts by various industrial branches, whereas Amer- fcan consuls have no such support. As an instance of opportunities our mer- chants overlook, he shows how, as a result of the recent severe winter, it would be per- fectly practical for our rubber makers to cap- ture the market in Germany for overshoes, Tubber coats, etc., if they sent capable agents to secure the territory. RUMORS ABOUT SENATOR ALLISON, He 18 Credited with a Disposition to Favor McKinley for President. WASHINGTON, March 5.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The following statement was pub- lished in a local paper this morning: “Sen- ator Allison may have occasion within a month to fire a sunrise gun in the republican presidential campaign. The Kansas Repub- lican State league has invited him to attend its meeting, permitting him to make chof of any date in April most suiting his con- venience, and he has accapted the invitation. Recently the republicans of Kansas in the state legislature expressed through a poll vote an overwhelming preference for Mr, Mec- Kinley's candidacy, and Mr. Allison’s visit to the state next month will be observed with interest by politicians." Senator Allison says: *“There is no truth in that statement that I am going to Kansas. I have declined the invitation. I am going to Towa. I have partly promised to address a meeting in Des Moines in April on the occa- sion of the anniversary of the birthday of General Grant. Even that engagement s not a positive one, as other matters may inter- vene," Preaident Will Try Them Aga'n.
