WAbihxGtox, Aug. 5. Just as sdon
after congress meets as it becomes
practicable, Mr. iUarid) the leader ol
tlic Silver forces iii the hduse, tvill id'
trcduct a bill einbbdyihjs Ihe views Gl
tho ilvb liicn., it will provide for the
repeal of the Sherman purchasing act
and substitute therefor tlic tree coinage
of silver at the present ratio of 10 to 1.
"That,'' said Mr. Pland, "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 matter that should be settled in the
party itself. By the Use of both gold
and silver as money at a parity the
democratic pnrt3 could hot differ If a
ebhi promise measure increasing th'e 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 trc&urr depart
ment in rcf;sirijr Id ay SUitr" wH3 ar
bitrary and uncalled for, Mr. Pland
said, but there was no ground for the
talk that the secretary could, be im
peached. TKe law nr, 'i'Hi l!lc ois
Meli" j. and tie was exercising it, and
That was one of the mistakes of the
law, as he looked at it, which was full
of mistakes. He warned friends of Bit'
vcr on this Very point when the bill
came up for consideration in the house.
The Bland-Allison act was superior
in that fespgjti in that it did Hot give
the secretary ilie power, but required
him to nun-hash a SnccHie amount. If
thh P-nitca .Stales, Mcb and tUb
, frcuth American countries, together
witn tne countries of Asia on our west,
i were to agree upon a common ratio,
Mr. Bland thought, we would have all
I the trade we wanted and would thereby
"ce Europe to come to the use of sil-
urope
ver as a money.
Mr. Bland said that lie hal
lot seen
the speaker. atd when il V-as uggest

The champion of silver declared that
there would be a bitter fight against
anj' attempt to change the rules so
that a cloture provision might be incor

Carolina has a plan for th 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 treating divisions in the party.
As the platform calls for the equal
ticatmentof 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
go'd and provide for the coinage of both

Chicago, Aug. 5. The executive
committee of thc populist party, wlreh
has been in session here since the ad-
1 journment of the silver convention, to
night issued an address to the people of
the Pnitcd States. It says in part:
' The overwhelming spirit of this con
vention indicates that the whole nation
is alive to the danger which threatens
us. The convention not only repudi
ated the idea of a gold standard and (
a gold basis, but unanimously com-
hiiucu usc.i lo me principle mat we.
as populists, have long held and clier-
lsnea, namely: mat law alone makes
money, and that thc stamp of thc gov
' eminent converts 00 cents worth of
silver into a dollar, equal to any gold
dollar. And thc3v unanimously accepted
our doctrine that the money of the
country should be adequate for the de
mands of business and should expand
with thc growth of population and com
merce." Thcaddress holds out the idea that
the silver convention was a great vic
tory for thc populi-.t principles as cm
bodied in the Omaha platform and
states that the struggle will obliterate
old party lines; that tens of thousands
of new converts are coming to their
ranks, and recommending industrial
unions and all similar organizations :is

Whereas, The present secretary at
Ihe
j treasury, on the floor of congress, Feb 21, 197a,
said: I know that the worlds stoik or prec-
1 lous metals is none too larwe, and I see no rea-
1 son to apprehend that it will oer become so
Mankind will be fortunate, indeed. If the an
nual production of Rold and sliver coin shall
keep pace with the annual Increise of popula
tion, commerce and industry. According
to my Iew of the subject, the conspiracy
' which seems to hivo been formed here and in
Europe to destroy by legislation and other
wise from tbree-scvenths to one-half of the
metallic money of the world Is the most
pi antic crime of this or any other a;e The
consummation of such a scheme would
ultimately entail more misery upon the
human raie than all the wars, pestilences
and eents that have ever occurred.
The Instantaneous destruction of one-halt
the entire movable property of the world, la
eluding houses, s'lops. railways nnd all other
appliances for carrying on commerce, while it
would be felt more sensibly at the moment.
' would not produce nnjth mc like the prolonged
distress and disorganization of society that
must resu t from the permanent annihilation
of one half of the metallic mone : of thc world:
and.
Whereas. Senator Sherman of Ohio, who
more than any man i3 re-ponsible for the de

evil consequences of shrinking the currency

Therefore, in view ell these tacts, m de
clare:
First That then must be no compromise of

banks, most of them well managed and
showing assets which under ordinary" '
circumstances would place them1
above suspicion, are driven to sus- '
pend. There has been a shrinking of
hundreds of millions in the value
of stocks and other property, and in
agricultural products. To attribute all
this tiohditibn to the present silver pur
chasing law of the United States is ab- !
surd. Under this law since 1890, SISO,
000,000 have been added to our cur
rency. Does anybody believe that the ,
presence of this 8150,000,000 makes
money scarce and dear? Would we (
be better off if we were out of it?
The real nbieCt leson of the situation
Is very different from that which the
gold conspirators intended.
"It enables us to see tho beginning
of tho shrinkage in prices that must
I

cold basis. The trniihln is in tha

the other. The establishment of understood that the president's mes

equivalent to putting the value of two situation and it is expected that the

unit and putting property down one

do this and still require the same
number of dollars in payment of
debts and taxes is to sanction tho
spoliation of one class by the other
and the talk of such a standard as
honest or such a policy as sound
fintnee is the rankest hypocrisy."
Referring to the act of 1873, "General
Warner said: "The members of con
gress, the speaker of the house who
signed that bill, the president who
approved it never knew that it de
monetized silver. There was but ono
man in the senate who knew that tho '
act demonetized silver; and yct ho
was never hung or shot for treason.

by those of Llliuokalani and James II.

New York exchange rn yesterday
nominally quoted at ST on the ?,0" 1
discount, although under normal condr-
tions it could not fall below 70 cents
discount, which is the shipping rate.
1 This unusual situation in New York
exchange has led to a new departure in
I local banking. Chicago is to import
t gold direct from London. Two banks
yesterday completed arangements for
shipments of American eagles from
London and al last S7."i,000 will start
' from there tomorrow. The First Na
tional bank ordered front Its London
correspondent 5i00,000 and the Bank of ,
Nova Scotia ordered 5250,000. This

It Pelns probable that Chicago will
now play an important part in the gold
imports that are expected to be made.
The forwarding of produce and grain
has been seriously hampered by the in
ability of shippers to dispose of their
New York exchange. If the Chieago
bailk? now buy thc drafts on foreign
purchases of gmin and ship the gold di
rectly to this city the difficulty on that
score will be avoided.
