of the .Subject.
NEW YOHK , July (5. ( The business men of
the metropolis mot today and looking Into
each pthcrs faces considered the flnanclal
situation with which they are surrounded.
The occasion \yas a gathering of the cham
ber of commerce , in response to n call Issued
by Us leading members , \vlio tncreln de
clared that "tho present disturbed condi
tion of the llnanccs of the country , brought
about primarily by the enforced purchases
of useless silver bullion and the consequent
distrust in the ability of the government to
preserve the go' J standard , calls for a pub
lic expression of opinion by business men as
to the remedies to bo applied for the restor
ation of confidence. "
Vice President Orr presided , and imme
diately the overflowing chamber had brcn
called to order. John Clallln arose In
response to the chairman's question , "What
is your pleasure ? " and snld that they did
not need to be told that the strain the busi
ness men were suffering from was a severe
ono. Ho said that ho had been told that the
strain was greater than that of any panic m
former years. Ho did not bellevo they wcro
on the verge of a commercial panic , they
were passing through ono. There had heen
many causes , ho said , which had contributed
to the present trouble. Most of them would
right themselves In the natural course of
business , but there was ono chief cause
which was not included in that category and
that was the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman law. [ Applause. ] It had caused
distrust abroad and weakened us while it
strengthened Europe. He did not , see how
any sensible man could oppose the repeal of
that law and the wiping of it off our statute
book. Any law that should take its place
should only bo enacted after careful de
liberation.
Air. Clnflln'A Resolutions.
Whereas , This country has oftcni'd suffered
greatly by reason of hasty and Ill-advised
legislation ;
Whereas , His now suffering from the effects
of the silver purchasing clause of the i-henimn
net which , by creating distrust as to the liiti-r-
chaiiKoablllty of our currency , bawd on Ml-
vor , with our currency based on gold , has
caused widespread alarm and hits almost
created a commercial panic , and
Wliorcas , In consequence of this alarm ,
money Is withdrawn from circulation , busl-
ueas is crcatly depressed , many mills and
manufactories are closed or preparing to close
and thousands of laboring mim are about to be
thrown out of employment , ilnd
Whereas lluslness enterprises will not bo
resumed r.ur labor steadily employed until
money can ic obtained by manufacturers and
by merchants at moderate rates ; and
Whereas , Ordinary Interest rates cannot ho
expected until conlldonco In the stability of all
tbo money ot the country shall bo thoroughly
re-established so that the louder may not fear
repayment In dollars less valuable than those
ho lends , now bo It
' Itesol veil , That the repeal of the silver pur
chasing clause of the Sherman act , which
month hy month renders lncrciiHlnily d Illicit It
the maintenance ot the parity of ciich dollar
with every other dollar , Is essential to the
prompt restoration of national prosperity.
This chamber , therefore , urcns the speedy nnd
unconditional repeal of such silver purohas-
1m : clause.
ItcMilved , That In the judgment of this
chamber a representative commission should
bo appointed by congress at the special session
about to convene , which commission should
diligently study the whole body of coinage and
currency laws of the United States and of
other countries and report at the regular ses
sion of congress , to the end that a comprehen
sive. plan for a safe nnd elastic currency may
bo carefully matured In the light ot the world s
experience.
Mr. Wlmlimillcr'fl Amendment.
Louis Windmuller seconded the resolu
tions and offered an amendment providing
for a committee of seven which should , with
other like bodies , go to Washington and
work for the repeal of the Sherman silver
law. In support of his amendment , Mr.
Windinullcr said : ' 'Congress must respect
our wishes ; Now York merchants pay a
largo part of the revenue of this country ,
while its financiers are controlled by cm-
bankers. But let us not rely on our prestige
nor on that of other commercial bodies. If
wo want help wo will help ourselves. Wo
have hcai'd of the activity of the silver men.
They are making every effort for a continu
ance of the present law or for free silver
coinage. Wo are informed that they have
closed their mines on the grounds that they
cannot work them at the present price
of the while metal. They ore raising
funds to influence legislation , nnd have
culled n national reinvention to their as
sistance.Vo must not bo idle while
they nro so busy. The Issuance of Clear
ing House certificates 1ms demonstrated that
a flexible currency , controlled by bankers , Is
desirable. But we have an accumulation of
? 7 per capita more than they have in Eng-
I hind , where interest is 13 per cunt , while It is
10 per cent here. Wo need only confidence
in the currency which wo have already , and
that can only bo re-established by the un
conditional repeal of the Sherman silver
purchase act. "
Mr. Wlndmuller's amendment was ac
cepted as an addition to the original resolu
tions.
J. 13. Colcgato said ho thought the resolu
tions wcro completed and that they should
bo printed and studied for a week before thu
members were required to vote upon them.
Any way , ho did not think the adoption of
the resolutions would huvo the slightest
effect.
Says tlio .Majority Is Wrong- .
There cries of " " from
were "Question , var
ious parts of the chamber , but A. Foster
Higgins obtained the floor. Ho said ho dis
agreed with Mr. Clallln as to the cause of
ttio financial disturbance , but nt the same
time ho personally had no objection to the
repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law.
Ho admitted there seemed to bo a very gen
eral opinion that the Sherman law was re
sponsible for all oilr troubles , but ho assorted
substantially that the majority was wrong.
In support of that statement Mr. Hlgglns
quoted from u rejiort of a royal commission
on the silver question , contained in nu ICng-
llsh parliamentary blue book. That com
mission , Mr. Hteglns said , hud studied the
subject thoroughly and nod obtained all the
information possible. Mr. Hlpglns then
plunged into a mass of statistics of the
money world in the timn when money was
first used and urged that thcso figures
proved the conclusion of the British com
mission , viz ; That ovcry stop that has been
taken In the direction of a monometallic
basis hail retarded the progress nnd pros
perity of the world. There was not enough
gold in the \\orld. Mr , Higglou EulJ , to
supply the money of the world.
Mr. UlBBliu Itriillod To.
Mr. Clallln replied to Mr. Higgins. Ho
said ho was perfectly familiar with the re
port of ttio royal commission quoted by that
gentleman , and reminded him that one-half
of the commission favored the demonetiza
tion of silver and the other half did not. Ho
regretted as much as Mr. Hlgglus that
silver should bt demonetized. Hut it would
bo an extremely dangerous and foolish
thing for this country to attempt to main
tain silver as money against the whohi world.
Wo should Join with the rest of the world
in the struggle for gold. [ Applause. I
Unfortunately , however , the course ol
this country had made U much easier
for other countries to get gold ,
while wo were losing it. The thing for this
country to do , if Mr. Higgins and Mr. CoV
gate wcro right , was to bring all thu cold
wo could Into this country and show Kuropc
that the could not do without silver. That
It would bo the best way to remonctlzo sll
' ver throughout the world was uuquestiou.
I able , but just so long as thu tiheruiua law
remained on the stAtute boplcn so long would
this want of confidence nnd this disturbed
condition in financial nnd commercial circles
continue. Mr. Clnfln ) reminded Mr. Higgins
that when this country rraumcxl specie pay-
tncnts It was not In the depths of financial
distress , but that the country was in nn ex
ceptionally good condition ; "In faet , " ho
added , amid loud applause , "I should bo glad
to see two such years again in business as
wo had in 18TU and 1880. "
Itomnrk * by .Mr. St. .John.
William P. St. John , president of the Com
mercial National bank , undertook to discuss
the first paragraph of the resolution. Ho
snld this chamber had never had a dobata
on this subject which reached the facts , nnd
m the nature of things they never could ,
but ho was willing to meet a company of
gentlemen and discuss the facts and nbldo
by the result. Ho was itlad for once to bo In
unison with the Chamber ol Commerce. Ho
agreed with it that the thins to do was to
repeal the Sherman silver law and stop buy
ing silver. [ Applause. ] In consideration of
that fact he begged them to give him kindly
attention. The trouble with the Sherman
silver law , Mr. St. John said , was that It
htrd not been prolierly administered , but
that invoked a political discussion nnd ho
did not care to go Into that.
There were cries of "Question , " when
Mr. St. John sat down , ana a viva voce vote
was taken. The resolutions wcro declared
adopted , the result ns announced by the
chairman being : "Throo , nays against the
whole chamber. " Tho' nays wcro William
P. St. John. A. Poster Higgins and J. U.
Colgate.
Tlio chairman , at the close of the meeting ,
appointed the following as the committee
called for by Mr. Wlndnluller's addition to
the resolution : John CUfhn , Henry Hertz ,
Gustav H. Schwab , W. 7J. Tronholm , Cor
nelius N. Bliss , J. Edward Simmons and
John Sloanc.
The chamber then adjourned.
WHAT THE S1I.VICU MEN I2XPKCT.
Ucncnil Warner ClUTd'j Itctportcr an In-
tcrpntlnc Interview.
WASIH.SOTOX , July 'OT "What of the
night ? " said a reporter to General A. J.
Warner , president of the American Bimet
allic league.
General Warner said : "I see that the legis
lative council of India has decided to receive
sovereigns at the treasury of India without
the limit In exchange for rupees , but not
Bank of England notes , nor will they
pay out gold for rupees. Tno coun
cil has also carefully abstained from making
gold a legal tender. If it should do so
"iuropo would rapidly bo drained of its gold
o settle balances duo to India. The policy ,
.herefore . , Is simply to sell council bills ,
which are drafts on the Indian treasury for
upees , for gold and then ; to buy silver on
government account' nt ttha ratio fixed in
louncll and from this.silvercoiu rupees with
ivhich to meet any excess of drafts over the
ax collections of the Indian.treasury. .
"We may look for purchases of silver on
ccount of the Indian government at any
lino. In fact , that government has adopted
: i sort of a Bland law , excepting that it has
lixed the ratio at 21Jf for converting rupees
into silver.
'If ' the mints of the west remain closed
'or any length of time silvpr will rise ns the
osult of purchascsiby our government and
) n accoi'st of India. "
Questioned as to the ialleged purpose of
io silver convention , whieh.is to meet in
Chicago August 1 , , to-pass o resolution favor-
'mr the demonetization of ( gold , Mr. Warner
laid : "I know nothhr-fof a purpose to iu-
reduce such a bill. If Xho monomctallists
Insist on a subversion .of bimetallism by de
monetizing 11m only me'tQwhich , can be- pro

metal and transfer the control of money
"rom the mints to legislation. "
It is now stilted that silver men play a
part in the selection of a speaker. The an
nouncement that there Is u possibility that
Mr. Bland , the champion of silver , may be
displaced as chairman of the committee on
coinage , weights and measures , has stirred
them to renewed efforts. Stories of an at
tempted combine between the free silver
advocates and the populists to place n candi
date for the spcakcrshlp m the field , unless
they have the assurance of Mr. Crisp that
Mr. Bland will bo retained at the head of
the committee , are floating about , but nro
not generally credited , for though It is
openly said by some that Mr. Blani will not
again bo chairman of the committee there
are no facts that would warrant such an
assertion. Mr. Crisp Has not even intimated
such a thing. r
Among the more conservative the imprcs
slou is that Mr. Dland will head the commit
tee. This would not , however , indicate that
the entire committee wi.ll remain. If Mr.
Bland is chairman it is to be expected that
the makeup of the committee will be so
changed that n majority , at least , will be for
the repeal of the purchase clause in the
Sherman law. It is known that Mr. Crisp
has made no pledges one way or tlio other
that this ono would bo 'retained or another
bo given a chairmanship.
Senator Harris , president pro tern of the.
senate , says there will bo no filibustering in
the senate against the bill to repeal tlio
Sherman law.
