Dnxvnn , July 12. The interest In .tlio sil
ver convention had not in the least abated
from yesterday , and when it was called to
ordr this morning , utanding room was not
to be had. After -appointment of dele
gates to the St. Ixmls nnd Chicago silver
conventions nnd to the "goldbug" gathering
nt St. Paul , the cointnlttco on resolutions
presented tbo following report , which was
unanimously adopted :
llrsolutloiiH Committoc'H Ilcport.
"TOTIIKPEoi'i.r.oFTiir.UNiTKiSTATES : The
pcoplo of Colorado , standing in the gloom of
impending disaster , nnd representing in con
dition and sentiment the people of Montana ,
Idaho , Wyoming , Nevada , South Dakota ,
Utah , Arizona and New Mexico , wilh reverence -
enco for the constitution nnd unswerving
loyally to the general government , nsk for
your cnlin and candid consideration of the
following fncts before you give yor approval
to the destruction of silver as money nud to
the final establishment In this country of a
single gold standard of values niid'thus. nt
one stroke , change nil debts to gold debts ,
nnd inaugurate n iiover-ctidltig rise of gold
und a Continued corrcstKmding fall In the
price of every commodity.
"Congress has boon called to meet In extra
session on August 7. Prcceaing that call ,
the classes which have struggled for twenty
years to overthrow the bimetallic money
standard provided by the constitution In-
nugurated n panic which they truthfully
charged to the existing silver law , Ignoring
the facts that there were $300,000,000 of out
standing legal tender nolcs , commonly called
'greenbacks , ' Hint vrern equally available
with the treasury notes , issued In payment
for silver , to draw gold from the treasury ;
that the balance of our foreign trade had
turned against us , rendering settlement
nbroad with American ROld a necessity , and
that the bankers of I3uropo were purchasing
gold with which to change the money stand
ard of Austria nnd to fill the treasury vaults
of other monarchical countries. The evident
purnoso was to create prejudice against what
is known as the silver purchase act and
under pressure secure Its unconditional re
peal.
.Moulin to ( lulu Their Kudi.
"Tlio success of this scheme was only
partial. Venal presidential patronage , sup
plementing facts and incendiary utterances
uy the gold press , aggravated by daily cir
cular assaults upon the law by eastern
money brokers , sent to every commercial
body and banking corporation in the four
quarters of the country , hud possibly won
over the hotiso of representatives to it , but
oven the president admitted that In the
BCimto there waa stnuncn majority against
it. When suddenly , like n lire boll in the
night , the neWB Hashed beneath the oceans
that free coinage In India had been
suspended , and that the market price of
silver 'had' fallen within forty-olght
hours fully 20 cents per ounce.
This startling action. forced upon
the Indian government without a moment's
warning , the step held in secret contempla
tion by the British government for mouths ,
to bo taken at n critical and opportune time ,
when the consternation It must create , It
was hoped , would stampede the hist phalanx
of bimetallism's defenders , must have had ,
ns one of Its chief alms. Iho Intimidation of
the senate to bring it in line with the sub
servient lower house.
"Immediately the wires were burdened
with appeals to the president from banks
nnd banking houses , nnd commercial bodies
dominated by them , for1 an extra session ,
nnd to senators to repeal the Sherman law ,
which , it was claimed , was responsible for
all the disaster.
Ilen.ion for ilio I'urly Cull of Congrem ,
"The call was mado. The tlmo for the
session to commence is early ; so early , in ;
deed , that may It not have been the hope lJ lf
thd uresidetit that the panic would not sub
side and tbo measure of repeal bo forced
through before reason resumed Us sway nnd
truth and logic could dominate the congress.
"Tho enemies of bimetallism and they >
now fairly number all those who oppose free :
coinage of silver alike with sold , aa it was
before the demonetization of silver in 18711
openly declare that they will bo content
with nothing less than the unconditional re
peal for the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman law. It IH for that they struggle :
it was to secure Unit the ranio was created
nnd free coinage in India suspended. 3k
Unconditional repeal. That means striking
ka
ing from the laws the last remnant of legis
lation that secures colmiKO for silver. aIt
llxes the United Stales firmly in Iho ranks
of Iho single- standard nalions. It Is the
consummation of the conspiracy organized
nt the floso of Iho Franco-Prussian war lo
destroy ns money one-half of the coined
money of the world leaving the other half
to bear alone the vast mountain of credit
upon which the world's business is conducted
inviting moro frequent panics and render
ing them more destructive and enduring ,
( ireut llrlliiln'n Tower.
"H is Idle to hope that reducing the value
of sliver lo Iho lowest stage will force Great
Britain to seek Inuinmtionul seclusion Irom
the dilemma. The hinglo standard power Is
in Its hands. Members of her cabinet have
fully anticipated the low degree to which
silver will descend. They have discounted
its disturbance of her Indian trade and
stoelt'd their hearts against the crime , It
will bo against her Indian subjects. The
power that could plot for seventy-seven
years ; that could force Us yoke upon Ger
many , the I itin union , Austria and Iho
Unltvd States ; that could gain to its aid the
daily press of the country ; that could con
trol for twenty years the national conven
tions of the great American political parties
granting In ihnir platforms professions of
bimetallism , but al ways securing presidential
candidates unalterably opposed to HT Hint
could rhango an overwhelming sentiment
among the people for blmHnlllsiu to a fooling
of enmity or Inditforoiico , can never bo in
duced to relent , for it has counted the cost I
and has learned Its power ,
"Tho Sherman law Is not the work of sil
ver-producing states. It was forced uixm j
the country against their will , Their .con
stant demand has been that of the agri
cultural states of the west nnd south nnd of
thn worKing mass of the whole country.
They have never scrught lo impose upon the
country some now financial nostrum , but
have asked simply for the restoration of the
coinage laws as they were from tbo first year
of the federal constitution until Iho furtive
repeal of 187:1. : The Sherman law was Iho
trick by which Unit restoration was de
feated. It was accepted by blmotullisls its
Jit u pledge that the old laws should , at some
future tlmo , bo restored , nnd they now do-
innnil , not that Iho Sherman law shall bo re
tained , but that the hostage Rlmll bo re
deemed by the ro-cnactmcnt In Us stead of
the coinage lawB under which tbo country
grow and prosu | < rod for more than three-
Hiiurtcrs of a century ,
What the Hilverltrs ncinmiil.
* "The charge that the blmetullisu demand
thai (10 cents shall bo made $1 Is a lie , it
was Iho irlck of the single standard con-
epirators thai lessoned tlio value of silver. j
Hud gold been demonetized Instead of silver j
--retaining for silver its grcaicst USD nnd !
chlefcst function , and depriving gold of I
its ercnii'sl and chiefcst function , i
gold would not today bo worth { 25
per ounce , and silver's value and
purchasing power would bo Increased largely I j
kbovtils former highest figure. YYuat bl-
molalllsts do ask , nnd all they nsk , is th.it
the law relating to coinage na it was for
sovcnty-llvo years of the country's
greatest glory , shall bo restored without the
addition or expunging of a syllable. If that
law Is re-enacted and n fair trial of It had ,
nnd silver shall not , without the purchase
of an ounce of metnl by the government , re
sume its former relative value with gold ,
b'lmctalllsts will cheerfully submit to any
legislation that experience suggests ns
ncccssarv to make nny dollar equal ir. In
trinsic value to every other dollar bearing
its stamp. They urge the old law , with
supreme confidence bornoof the unassailable
truths of history , that it will Immediately
plai-o every coined American dollar upon n
par value , both as coin and bullion , restore
the bonds of weakened love and confidence
nnd set In happy motion the wheels of all
the country's magnificent industries.
KfTccU of Itrpritlon the \Ve t.
"Will you listen to us while wo speak In
words of sober earnestness of the local
effects the unconditional repeal of the silver
law will have !
"Tho silver mining states and territories ,
embracing 1,000XX ( ) square miles of the con
tinent , with 2,000.000 Americans inhabiting
them , depend peculiarly upon silver mining
for their prosperity. That Industry Is the
very heart from which nearly every other
Industry receives support. Agriculture will
not thrive without artificial irrigation : its
mines of coal , Iron , stone nnd clay , while
magnificent , uro worked with such dear
labor nnd nro so remote from other local
markets that their movement would bo
feeble and their operation disastrous with
out the stimulus the mining Industry affords.
It supports our foundries , operates
our machine shops , supplies our rail
roads with freights , stimulates travel ,
keeps bright the llrcs of the smelters and
sends customers to the shops of our mcr-
chantB. It has Invoked In the valleys and
u ) > on mountain sides magnificent cities and
thrifty towns nnd villages. Great manufac
tories of paper , cotton , leather , iron , stclil
and clays distribute their finished products
nnd support thousands of prosperous and
happy families. Hut because agriculture is
so limited In area , confined to narrow strips
along our low and scanty streams , our labor
so high and Its handiwork so remote from
other than tlio local markets , the coal Is
mined , the coke i * burned , the rail is rolled ,
the grain Is grown , the fruit Is gathered in
the main for the owners and workers in
silver mines nnd smelters , and the proprie
tors nnd workmen of the industries and call
ings dependent upon tlicm.
"Tho reduction of the price of silver to
about 70 cents has shut down IK ) per cent of
the silver mines of the country and the
smelters must soon follow their cvamiile.
There are In Colorado today 15,000 idle
miners , who know not where to turn If work
is not resumed. There will soon bo added
to this Idle army of labor 40,000 men f.roin
the smelters. The Stone quarries are nearly
all shut down , the railway companies are
laying off train crews by the score , the
foundries nro nearly all out of orders , the
farmers and fruit growers will be tarcly
paid for the cost of having their crops , the
merchants are countermanding their
orders , the traveling men for eastern houses
seek almost In vain for customers. This Is
no cxaRKeratlon. The destruction of the
silver industry will devastate the country ,
as if swept by a cyclone , reaching from the
British possessions to the Mexican border
line. This sorrowful picture of Colorado ,
with Us mining Industry destroyed , but rep
resents the condition of the other mining
states and territories with the same calamity
upon them.
"If the silver mines shall remain closed ,
one-half of the American output of lead must
bo lost. The greatest bulk of the lead pro
duced is taken from silver-bearing ores. It
requires the one me.tal , supplemented by the
other , to remunerate the lead-silver mine
owners.
"Not less than ! > 5 per cent of the gold
product of the country depends upon the
maintenance of the silver Industry. The
placer or creek washings , the earliest and
most prolific sources of our gold supi iy , are
practically exhausted.
Cost of 1'roducliig Silver.
"Those who contend for the gold single
standard willfully mislead you as to the cost
of producing silver. We say to you in the
most solemn and truthful manner that rc-
llaDl'o statistics provo that , including but
legitimate items in the account , the silver of
Colorado costs by the timeit Is on the mar
ket not less than ? 1.2'J per ounce. Like gold iin ii
some silver Is produced for much less than
its market value , but the average cost of
silver is fully the highest price it over
brought in markot.
"All of the mining states and territories
are a debtor class. Stop and consider , men
of the cast , how many millions of your
money are Invested with us. The funds of >
estates of widows and orphans have been
loaned on our lands and have built our
edifices. Colorado has been a favorite field
for such investments. Have the pconlo of
any state over proved more punctilious in
prompt repayment ? The legislature has en
acted laws cruel to Us own people and un
rivaled In liberty to the creditor that i10
man might shine or escape payment of u bor
rowed dollar. ru
"There are held throughout the east hun
dreds of milions in railroad stocks and bonds us ;
in municipal securities ; in trusts and mort
gages , the payment of the greatest body of
which depends upon the prosperity of the
silver mining country. We of Colorado prldo
ourselves on our commercial and financial
integrity. No calamity can Induce us to re
pudiate one dollar of an honest debt. AH oDf
our assets uro at the will of our creditors
for their reimbursement. But , ft
by bad congressional legislation , if
through congress you shall wlpo out the
great industry of the section around which :
all others cluster for vigor and profit , the
values or our proportion will shrink , our
business will bo destroyed , our towns and
cities will bo largely depopulated and the
railroads traversing the western half of the
continent will be scut Into bankruptcy. Cor- ;
talnly In the facvo of such unmerited inllic-
lion you cannot blame us if we are thus
deprived of ull ability to meet our obllga-
tions. You may , it is true , take the country
in payment , but ufter you get it , what will ;

NEW YonK , July 12. Stocks opened with
enormous business nnd weak , with losses of
from one-half of 1 to 2 per cent. Chicago ,
Milwaukee & St. Paul nnd Sugar were the
weakest. Incitement ran high and the
street was Hooded with unfavorable rumors.
The downward movement continued after
the opening. Cotton oil declined 2 to 23 ,

Humors ( were again put n afloat rcRiirdlng
the financial standing of leading capitalists
nnd a prominent Broadway Trust company
was said to have sold n block of securities ,
chiefly Vanderbllt stocks and general elcc-
trie. Other unfavorable reports were
starlcd but could bo Iracod to no authentic
source.
When It was found the rumors could not
be ratified a more hopeful feeling developed
nnd a sharp rally ensued. Northwestern
Jumped to par , General Elcclric to 02 , St.
Paul to ! > ! > ; < , and Sugar to 78Jf. At 11 the
market was quiet and steadier.
At noon money on call was stringent
at 10 ( < i20. After 11 stocks weakened again ,
declining 2 @ 2- Sugar and General..Electric .
were prominent In the declines. Near mid
day the pressure let up some nnd the market
became steadier. At noon the market vras
feverish.
Ono Cntuo of thn Kxcltcmcnt.
One of the chief items contributing to the
excitement and weakness was a rumor that
ono of the Vandcrhllts had been compelled
to market n lot of his securities. Inquiry ,
however , developed Iho fact that a well
known trader , In no way contiocted with
Vanderbllt , was forced to throw over some
40,000 shares of high priced Vnndorbilts nnd
the bears took advantage of the fact to
pound the market. The general opinion is
that thcro is nothing in the situation to
warrant yesterday's and today's breaks. On
the contrary among banks and in financial
circles a better state of affairs is reported.
In the afternoon call money fell to 0@7
and stocks became calmer , assisted by
rumors of the taking of f-1,000,000 in pold
for Import from I/mdon. About 2 , however ,
there was renewed selling on a large scale.
Burlington broke to 81 % ; St Paul to 5"X ;
Hock Island to 01. % at 215. Market was
heavy.
Notwithstanding the flurry In the stock
market today , bank presidents and others
occupying positions familiarizing them with
current conditions , unanimously agree that
the general situation has improved and con
tinues to do so.
At several of the larger banks it was said
today that a considerable amount of cur
rency had been received yesterday and this
morning.
Currency from the Country.
Many of the country banks are remitting
currency hero nnd getting back some of
their bills receivable , which they had redls-
counled here three or four weeUs ago , taking
advantage , of course , of the rebate m the
discount of the unoxplred time. At all the
largo banks today it was said that the de
mands from out of town customers for ac
commodations were lighter than they had
been for weeks. Many of the largo uptown
banks reported today that they had nil the
currency they wanted. The offer of some
buuks to pay the express charges on cur
rency going Into the country had a very
stimulating effect on shipments to this city.
The subtreasury was debtor for several
hundred thousands of dollars to the clearing
house this mornitip for the first time in Iho
last week , which showed that the steps >
taken by the subtreasury oHlclals to compel
the bankers to present their government
checks for payment through the clearing
house , Instead of ever the treasury counter
for cash , had the desired effect.
Two or three cases were reported today of
country banks , mostly In Pennsylvania ,
coming into this market as buyers of com
mercial paper in a small > wuy , tempted
thereto by the high rates and thq fact that
they hao. money"to their credit with their
correspondents hero. The amount of such
purchases In the aggregate Is not largo ,
but it is said indicate
to an easier monetary
condition In certain ' yn
sections' of the coun
try.Note nip
Note brokers today reported some buying
of commercial paper by three or four of the
large banks , but not to any great extent ;

lenders In that class of business , arcTsiill

mostly confining their dealings to their own
customers.
Conditions In I'hlluilelphln ,
The condition of the banks in Philadelphia
was reported to bo pracllcaliy unchanged
and New York exchange Is only obtainable
in that city'at a high premium , averaging
about $2f > 0 per $1,000. Now York merchants
are suffering because of their Inability to
collect drafts on Philadelphia , except after
great delay. Some of tlio largest banks in
this city are only receiving drafts on Phila
delphia for collection and it takes many aays
to cet back the money for them.
