SILVER MEN S VIEWS.
EMBODIED IN A BILL BY MR.
BLAND.
Repeal of the Sherman Purchasing Act
and a Substitute for Free Coinage—
The Ground Upon Which the Fight
Will be Made—The Plan of Represent
ative Henderson of North Carolina—
The Fopnllsts' Address to the People—
As to Resumption of the Issue of Hold
Certiorates.
Bland and Other Con great men Give Their
View* on the Silver Question.
Washington, Aug. 5.—Just as soon
after congress meets as it becomes
practicable, Mr. Bland, the leader of
the silver forces in the house, will in
troduce a bill embodying the views of
the silver men. It will provide for the
repeal of the Sherman purchasing act
and substitute therefor the free coinage
of silver at the present ratio of 1(1 to 1.
“That,” said Mr. Bland, “will be the
ground upon which we will make the
fight, although there has been no defin
ite plan agreed upon.”
He recognized that men could hon
estly differ as to the ratio, but that was
a mutter that should be settled in the
party itself. By the use of both gold
and silver as money at a parity the
democratic party could not differ. If a
compromise measure increasing the ra
tio was reached, he said, he saw no rea
son why the present dollar should not !
be kept in circulation as it was now.
He proposed, however, with all his
power to resist any increase in the ratio.
The attitude of the treasury depart
ment in refusing to buy silver was ar
bitrary and uncalled for, Mr. Bland
said, but there was no ground for the
talk that the secretary could be im
peached. The law gave him the dis
cretion and he was exercising it, and
that was one of the mistakes of the
law, as he looked at it, which wbb full
of mistakes. He warned friends of sil
ver on this very ' point when the bill
came up for consideration in the house.
The llland-Allison act was superior
in that respect, in that it did not give
the secretary the power, but required
him to purchase a specific amount. If
the United States, Mexico and the
South American countries, together
with the countries of Asia on our west,
were to agree upon a common ratio,
Mr. Bland thought, we would have all
the trade we wanted and would thereby
force Europe to come to the use of sil
ver as a money.
Mr. Bland said that he had not seen
the speaker, and when it was suggest
ed to him that some of his friends in
the east would be glad to see him off
the committee on coinage he only
smiled and said they could not at any
rate, run him off the floor of congress.
The champion of silver declared that
there would be a bitter fight against
any attempt to efiange the rules so
that a eloture provision might be incor
porated.
Representative Henderson of North
Carolina has a plan for the readjust
ment of the silver question that he,
holds out to be satisfactory to the per
sons who wish to see the democratic
p’atform declarations carried into effect
without creating divisions in the party.
As the platform'calls for the equal
treatment of gold and silver, and as
some democrats do not deem it safe to
provide for the free coinage of silver,
lie would withdraw that privilege from
gold and provide for the coinage of both
metals on account of the government
exclusively. This might be accom
plished, he thinks, by passing a bill re
quiring the absolute purchase of a cer
tain proportion of each metal each
month and the coinage of all purchas
ed. Congress, might from time to time,
change this proportion as the needs of
the country seemed to require, and thus
adjust the circulation to the demands.
Representative Outhwaite of Ohio is
one of the few western men who de
clares himself in favor of an immediate
and unconditional repeal of the silver
purchase section of the Sherman law,
but after that is done he says he would
immediately turn his attention to some
legislation intended to secure the more
extended use of silver as a money metal.
One point upon which Mr. Outhwaite
takes strong ground is that the silver
bullion now in the treasury should be
coined at once and put into circulation
and thus relieve the money stringency.
He says that, as the secretary of the
treasury has taken the position that
coin notes issued in payment for silver
bullion purchased are redeemable in
gold alone, it does not appear there is
any reason to retain this bullion in the
treasury for redemption purposes.
A Populist Call for the Friends of Silver
to Stand Firm.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 7.—The executive ■
committee of the populist party, which
has been in session here since the ad
journment of the silver convention, have
issued the following address:
To the Feople of the United States,
the friends of more money and less
taxes, devoted to the silver dollar of 1
the constitution and of our fathers as
valuable aids in educating and organ- '
mug our people: stand by your col- I
ors, brethren; events are battling for
us; “the stars in their course are fight
ing in behalf of Sisera;” every day con
firms our predictions. There is no
safety for the people of the I nited
States except in the triumph of our
principles, and victory is not tar off.
The overwhelming spirit of this con
vention indicates that the whole nation
is alive to the dangers which threaten
us. The convention not only repudi
ated the idea of a gold standard and a
gold basis, but unanimously committed
itself to the principles that we. as pop
ulists, have long held and cherished,
viz.: That law makes money, and that !
the stamp of the government converts j
60 cents worth of silver into a dollar. .
equal to any gold dollar. And they j
unanimously accepted our doctrine_
that the money of the country should
be adequate for the demands of busi- !
ness and should expand with the growth
of population and commerce.
1'opulists, this convention has been a !
{treat victory for the principles embod
ied in the Omaha platform. The rep
resentatives of old parties stand united
with us to fight for the money of the
people as against the money of the
bondholders. It is the same old con
test for the doctrines of Jefferson, Jack
ion, Thaddeus Stevens and Lincoln and
fcr our constitutional rights, which
have been assailed by a foreign coali
tion.
l he convention manifested an intense
conviction that the bondholding and
banking conspiracy which began its
lawful work in 1ST3 in a republican
congress will now be continued if not
consummated in 1893 in a democratic
congress with equal rapacity, pillage
and peculation It is the mission of the
i populists to resist this foreign invasion
[ which through corporate greed assaults
our national liberties by usurping our
lands, monopolizing our highways, ab
sorbing our wealth, dictating onr laws
and enslaving our people.
We believe the present effort to de
monetize silver and issue more bonds,
thereby increasing the aggregate of
our billions of debt, all of which must
then be paid in gold alone, burdening
us and onr posterity with gold con
tracts which we never made, is a crime
equal to that for which kings have
been dethroned and tyrants beheaded,
and for which we believe every officer
engaged themfn should be impeached
and punished as provided by law.
If silver is stricken down it will take
more merchandise from the business
men, more labor from the wage earner
and more wheat, corn and cotton from
the farmer than ever before to purchase
the gold dollars of the bankers. There
fore, these classes should unite to resist
the encroachments of this un-American
and destructive conspiracy.
The logic of events forces the imme
eiate solution of the money question.
This we recognize without yielding any
of the great principles of our platform,
which must follow and be settled in
rapid succession in order that our gov
ernment may be wrested from its ene
mies and prosperity restored to the
people.
W ® do not consider the money ques
tion as settled until the authority to
issue money and con trol its volume are.
in the words of Jefferson, “Restored to
the government and the people, to
whom they properly belong.”
This struggle will obliterate old party
lines; tens of thousandsof new converts
are coming to our ranks; they should
be welcomed and orgafiized into a
mighty campaign force for 1894 and
1890.

Gold Certificate***
Washington, Aug. 5.—It Is stated at
the treasury department that there is
no likelihood of resumption of the issue
of gold certificates until the free gold
stands from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000
above the reserve. This increase can
only be authorized by the secretary of
the treasury, who has not yet given
any instructions in that direction. The
free gold is now nearly $900,000.
Board of Health’s Favorable Report.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 7th.—
The Hoard of Health reports to The
Times of this city, through City Physi
cian Holland, that each of the eleven
third stage consumptives, placed under
the treament obtained from Dr. Amick
of Cincinnati, by the city authorities
several weeks ago, have improved to a
degree almost miraculous. The results
as given to the press by Ward's Island
Hospital, New York, while equally sen
sational, were not so comprehensive,
and local medical men claim that this
is the most complete demonstration
that consumption is curable, thus far
made. The Times says the eleven pa
tients to whom were administered Ur.
Amick’s medicines are so far improved
that their appetites have returned.
They sleep well at night, have no night
sweats, the irritating cough has disap
peared, and they feel much stronger in
every way. Local physicians report
similar results in private practice from
medicines furnished them by the Cin
cinnati doctor and all apparently agree
that it is the most important discovery
medi'.ul science has yet brought to
light
Future Plane In the Dark.
Washington, August 3.—Representa
tive Catchings, leading member of the
house committee on rules, was an early
caller on Mr. Crisp today and remained
in the speaker's rooms during the after
noon. He says the rules will probably
be adopted very soon after the house is
called to order and that there is no po
litical reason for any radical revision.
. Members of the house now in Wash
ington are still in the dark as to the
date of the democratic house caucus.
There are as yet very few representa
tives in the city. It is impossible that
there will be a caucus of the majority
of the senate this week. Senator Gor
man, the chairman of the democratic
caucus in the senate, is here, but has
not yet issued a call. It will be neces
sary for the democratic senators to get
together and decide upon a line of pol
icy respecting the question which will
probably be the first to engage' serious
attention in the senate—namely, the
right of admission of three senators
from the northwest whose titles have
been challenged—but Senator Gorman
feels that there is no need for haste in
the matter, and the caucus will proba
bly not be held before the middle of
next week.
Loa* Owr Sl.500.000.
May's Landing, N. Y., Aug. j—The
fire which has burned for a week in
Burlington county, along the Mullica
river, has exhausted itself. A careful
estimate places the damages to build
ings at 5150,00.); to timber, $1,300,000.
and to the crop of cranberries, $75,000.
World's Fair Finances.
Chicago, Aug. 3.— In regard to the
financial condition of the exposition
company President Higginbotham gave
out the statement today that it was im
possible to give exact figures concern
ing the indebtedness of the fair at this
time, but a full statement will be
ready this week. The assertion that
51.000.000 would not put the fair out of
debt was entirely false. The amount
of indebtedness was comparatively
trivial. ■
Cincinnati, O., Aug. 7th.—Cr. W. C.
Peasley, of Salt Lake City, who it was
feared would die on his way here to
place himself under the Amick treat
ment for consumption at the Cincinnati
Hospital, reached here almost too weak
to speak, but confident of being cured.

DImdhI>( the Situation.
Washington, August 4.—“If the pres
ident parts company with the Chicago
platform I believe his party will part
company with him,” were the signifi
cant words uttered by Representative
Oates this afternoon as he discussed the
situation. The Chicago platform, upon
which he was nominated and which the
people endorsed in such thundering
tones last November, calls for the re
peal of the Sherman law and the main
tenance of gold and silver as money
upon a parity. Any scheme which con
templates the abandonment of silver is
antagonistic to that declaration of
principles, and will not be supported by
the ■ congress that is to convene next
week. There can, in my opinion, be
no unconditional repeal of the Sher
man law. If the president has set out
to repeal the Sherman act without
offering anything in its place, he has
Bet up a platform not in accordandance
with that upon which he went before
the people.”
Mr. Oates looks for the repeal of the
Sherman law with a condition that will
provide for the free coinage of silver at
an increased ratio.
Senator George came in tbday from
Georgia. So far as the silver question
is concerned the senator plants himself
upon the platform he has upheld in all
his speeches in the senate, and says he
is a friend of silver and he has not
changed his views one whit
Senator Squire of Washington is one
of the few western senators who takes
the ground that the president should
be allowed to deal with the silver ques
tion in his own discretion. He believes
that it would be good policy for con
gress to pass a joint resolution permit
ting the president to suspend the oper
ation of the silver purchase section of
the Sherman law at his own discretion.
■ Mr. Bland, the champion of free coin
age, arrived today and was seen in con
sultation with members of his faith
who are in the city. He said the friends
of silver had agreed upon no plan of
campaign, other than that they were
opposed to the repeal of the Sherman
law unless they were first given free
coinage of silver. Mr. Bland, in speak
ing of the ratio, said he saw no reason
to change that now in force. So far as
the possibility of repeal was concerned
Mr. Bland was emphatic in his declara
tion that the unconditional repeal of
the' purchasing clause could not be ac
complished in either house.
Boston, Aug. 4.—Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge will leave for Washing
ton Saturday. Said he in an interview:
“I think congress will repeal the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman act,
although it may not be done quite so
promptly as is hoped here. I do not
underrate the necessity for some affirm
ative measures in regard to the cur
rency. Something ought to be done
looking to the sale of the silver bullion
in the treasury, under proper limita
tion, for gold. Some amendments ought
also to be made to the national bank
act. But these measures can wait and
can be much better handled after the
repeal is disposed of.” _
' Will Make Short Work of It.
Washington, Aug. 4.—Representa
tive Springer of Illinois, chairman of
the ways and means committee of the
last congress, was at the capital today'
In brief his opinion is that congress
will not be in session more than a week
or ten days in August In that time
hopeful Mr. Springer thought the silver
purchase clause of the Sherman act
would be repealed and the ways and
means committee empowered to draft a
tariff bill for submission to congress
when it reconvenes, which should be
some time in October. As to the tariff,
it would be impossible for the ways and
means committee to do justice to the
subject while the house is in constant
session. There were too many disturb
ing elements and the surroundings are
not favorable for wise and safe legisla
tion. But if the committee was em
powered to prepare a bill and allowed
to go to some quiet place on the sea
shore or elsewhere and pursue its labors
unmolested, the result would be a sat
isfactory bill. Touching the course of
the ways and means committee in deal
ing with the tariff Springer said it
would doubtless report one general
tariff bill instead of a series of specific
bills
Boles Declines to Ran.
Deb Moines, 1%., August 4.—Governor
Boies yesterday gave to the press a let
ter in which he declines to be a candi
date for renomination for governor.
As his reasons he assigns the follow
ing: "I am conscientiously opposed to
third terms in an oflice so important as
that of governor of a great state and
in this view the unbroken precedents
of political interest in our state teach
that my views are in substantial accord
with those of the masses of all our peo
ple.”
The governor, continuing, says he
wants the party to stand squarely by
its position in favor of the election of
United States senator by the people,
but thinks that this year would be un
necessarily forcing a national issue into
the campaign and so he advises the
party to make no nominations for the
United States senate. He indicates
prohibition and nonpartisan manage
ment of state institutions as the two
issues which his party ought to make
prominent this year. The letter is so
definite that his party will be com
pelled to accept it. He does not say
whether or not ho will refuse to be a‘
candidate for the senate before the next
legislature.
