THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 8. 1893-STXTEEN PAGES. Kadical Free Coinage Men Advocating the Liberal Purchase of Gold. INTERESTING FEATURE OF THE FIGHT Halt of Iho ropiillntii In Concrcm In rnvor of Inventing to nn Unlimited Kxtont In tlin Vellotr , MeUI. WASHINGTON IltmnAU or TUB DEB , 1 013 Fot'iiTr.nxtH STIIEET . , V WASHINGTON. Sept . 2. I A feature of the silver question which Is paramount .o all others seems to have lain dormant until the last sccno In the house of roprcsantntlvps , when the repeal bill was passed. The strongest nrcumcnt made upon the stump in fa\or of uontlmnng the present silver purchaxo or the unlimited colnago of silver has been that it would continue the constant Increase of the currency volume , nnd an incrcaso winch would bo affected by no other process. These who urcuod in favor of n larger purchase of gold bullion nnd the frca tmd unlimited coinage of that metal were mot with the cry of "gold bug , " It was constantly held by intelligent men on the hustings , that by no hook or crook could the circulating medium bo Increased through gold as It could through silver. Just Ixtforo the last silver scene In the house n statement was received from thu Treasury department which showed that the volume of currency could bo Increased ns rapidly , upon Judicious grounds , through pola purchases ns through silver. It was thb general belief , and the belief generally obtains ut present , that when the govern- -iiunt bought $1 worth of silver bullion it immediately proceeded to coin a silver del lar out of about thrco-llfths of the bullion and to nut Into circulation the profits , which amount to about ! C > per cunt of the pur chase. It was stated by the treasury olll- clals that umlrr the present law the govern ment only Issues frl In money lo represent $1 Invested In silver bullion and the selgnor- ncn or profit was stoicd a ay in the mints of the country as profit nnd ilid not circulate at all. fntnreitlnc : Dctulln. ' The sclcuorngu under the operation of the prcscn1/ law now aggregates about foO- OOO.WXI This profit is no\v stored away In bullion , and there is in circulation only the fa co amount of certificates or silver dollars representing the amount Invested iu bullion under the present law , which compels the government to purchase $01,000,000 worth of bullion every year. If the law provided for the coinage of the sclgnorago it would have put STiU.OOO.OOO more money Into circulation since July 12,1800 , u The process under which silver bullion Is purchased ana paid for Is very simple. The bureau of engraving ana printing is , under the present law , constantly printing silver curtllloUcs. There nro n great many of these printed In advance of the tlmo when they in o to bo used or paid out. All of the work upon them Is done , with the exception of the seal nnd signature of Uio treasurer of thu United States. When the director of the mint makes a monthly purchase of stiver ho makes an order on the treasurer of the United States for the money with which to pay for the bullion. The treasurer simply issues an order upon the chief of the bureau of engraving and printing for enough silver certificates to meet the obligation Incurred. The silver is paid for , dollar for dollar , In fiilvnr certificates , and no recognition is taken of the largo profit which would accrue to the cfovurnmcnt if the bullion was to bo coined. In the first place , the bullion is not coined but stored iiway , and just enough money is issued to pay for It. If it , were all coined under the law now existing , the nelgnorcgo or prollt would not bo coined , but stored away aa a reserve. Would llo the Snmo with Onlil. _ It can thus bo scon that just ns much money could bo put into circulation by the purchase of geM bullion and Its coinage , or the Issue of gold certificates to represent the gold bullion , as is circulated under the pres ent law by the purchase of silver , The ad vantage In purchasing gold is apparent to every one. Gold has never fluctuated down ward , especially in the coin , because it Is the standard of money the world over. So much moro silver is used in the arts aim is sold us a commercial commodity In bulk , that it is looked upon moro us u commercial article than a money motal. There are a great many f roe coinage silver men In congress who hnvo looked into this phase of the question and have come to the conclusion that it would bo better for the goveinmcnt to enter into a career of the un limited purchase of gold , utttil our supply of gold wns Increased about a billion dollars. Then wo would have such a great volume of both gold and silver thut it would bo impos sible lor any unfuvorublo turn in Interna tional commercial affairs to drain all of our gold away , and wo would have such a strong backing of thu yellow metal that the silver wo now own would always bo preserved at its full face value in money. Them are some radical free silver colnago > men w ho go so far as to advocate the issu- nnco of say $ f > 00,000 worth of ty $ per cent bonds for the purpose of entering upon the cold purchases , Never has sentiment changed so rapidly or so strongly against utT. money as recently in opposition to silver. Half of the populists In congress nro Iu favor of the unlimited purchase of gold as a moans of maintaining the parity between our silver and gold money. Important Measure I'rcpurcd. Senator Mnnderson will offer n bill In the senate to allow the transcripts of liehi ments in the United States courts filed hi ono district or circuit to bo fllod In any other district or circuit , the object being to reach the property of principals and ( teX haust all romcdy acalnst such principals whenever they may have anything within the United States before any action can belie taken against bondsmen or sureties. As the law now stands all remedy apalnst the principal must bo lirst exhausted within the district where the Judgment was secured , but it often happens that a principal has nmplo property beyond that district , which the rrrdltor Is not bound to pursue , as the law now-stands. The bill proposes , In other wonls , to makotho la win the case of federal judgments comply with the laws of the various states in this regard. Will I'uriutt Nu Dilatory Tiiatlrn. It is evident that if the silver men attempt to prevent a vote on the silver repeal bill in the Foimto by resorting- filibustering or dilatory tactics Air , Voorhees will favor cloture - turo In that body. The democratic leaders nro udversio to limiting in any wa'y thu freedom - dom of debate iu the upper house , as it has ulua.vs been ono of the unwritten traditions ' of the senate that every senator hhould bo permitted to say all ho wanted to on ny given subject. It has always been the boast of the senate that It was a deliberative body. The adoption of the cloture rule , by which the majority has it in its iKiwcr nt titmt any ( HO to close debate ) and force a vote , would bo sui'h nn Innovation In the senuto that natur- nlly some of Its leading members would oppose the now order of things. U this was done it would , to some extent , stultify tnoso democrats who , four yours ago , made such a Heron light to prevent the passage ot thu "foico bill. " The only thing then which prevented that bill from becoming n law was the fact that there was no means for secur ing n voto. ad n although thu democrats were iu a minority they -uro ublo , by filibustering ami long speeches , to prevent the republicans from voting. Miiy Jlorunio Nor ry , The silver men have calculated on employ ing much the same tactics and thev tiavo always belloved that the domocratlo blduof the chamber would oppose anything looking like a cloture rulo. While the rules of the setuiato may not bo actually changed , cloture may bo adopted in an Indirect way. It would bo within tlio power of the vlco president to refuse to rt-coguizo OHO of thu silver senators when ho got up to make a speech simply to kill mo and to accord the lloor to Mr. Voorhees or omo other repealer , who got on his feet to make a motion that the senate should ut once proceed to take a vote on the repeal bill. Of couiso thu silver men would oppose this and declare the action of the vlco presi dent revolutionary , but In an emergency of this kind if the presiding onlcer had fully dclortulnea to cut the GordUu kuot by tbo exercise of a firm and determined pollcj the clamor nnd threats of the silver liltbustcrcrs would hnvo no effect upon him.

DELEGATES TO THE STATE CONVENTION Mnn Mho IVIll Numlnnte tlio Ticket Selected In Various Count Ion Yoiterdny DouRim Still Dominated by Kilcor. ton Thn Flnnl Itciults. The populists of Douglns county mot In convention ycsterdny nftornoon nt Knights of Labor hall to select forty-six delegates to attend the state convention nt Lincoln on Tucsdny next. Omaha nnd South Omaha were fully represented nnd nlno of the thir teen country precincts sent In properly no- credited delegates. The free coinage idea wns rampant and the convention adopted n resolution demandIng - Ing of congress the immediate passage of n law providing for the free nnd unlimited colnago of the wlilto metal at the ratio of 1C to 1 , nud declaring liatly ngalnst anything looking to n compromise that would full short of their expressed choice. ' J. 'W. Kdgerton , who was the populist choice for supreme Judge two years ago , and who put in the entire legislative session of two years ngo , nnd ngnln last winter , lobbying ngnlr.st the passage of n stock yards regula tion bill , seemingly forgot the ungenerous refusal of the B. ft M. to glvo him a job as attorney In n certain town in the central westein portion oC the state in return for services rendered by him while standing guard iu the state house corridors , nnd was there in nil his glory to protest against the nomination of Maxwell by the independents. In this undertaking ho was vigorously assisted by V. O. Strlcklor.who introduced nn ingnoniously worded resolution binding tbo delegates to support nojio but those who hnd been openly identified with the popu lists. Tickled Kncli Other Vrrlmlly. The convention was called to order by the chairman of the county central committee , nnd n season of political spncchmaking was Inaugurated before a motion could bo made . or temporary organization effected. Councilman Hascall made a red hot free silver speech , in which ho quoted Goonjo Francis Train ns authority. / Kov. Mr. Wheeler of South Omaha , who was the independent nominee for congress last fall , was called for , but said ho did not come prepared to make a speech. IIo rejoiced over the growth of the "calamity howling party , " and said that although not as sun- giiino of victory as ho once was , ho trusted that all woula come out right In the end. Kcv. Mr. Uell was next In demand , and ho admitted a feeling of uneasiness because sc.itcd in a populist convention for the rirst time. IIo thought tlio tinio had como when the people of Nebraska must stand UD ns a whole for their own interests and cast their votes for the populist ticket. Clark Potter said ho felt too serious to muko n very enthusiastic speech. Ho Imped to see delegates elected who would "make n legislature thut would start fr o coinage of silver In the legislature. " He was sure that all the western states would have to do tins very thing sooner or later , ns congress was not going to grant the desired relief. Things had come to such a pass that it wasn't safe fora broad wagon to try to got along the streets of New York today , and ho didn't blame men for thkitig food when they were starving , as there was a higher law than that of Wall street to meet a crisis like this. IIo wanted everybody to attend the meeting at MCIZ hall next Thursday night , when a scheme would bo concocted to keep unem ployed 5 men and women from freezing to auath this winter. Ho know that the coal men would not spread their coal around for nothing , and that the bankers would not open their vaults and distri bute i the $ ! > .000,000 hoarded there to t relieve the suffering they had caused. IIo said it was not time to shoulder guns , but ho wanted the south and west to moveon in solla phalanx to Washington and remove the capital to St. Louis. Getting Down to The chairman rapped for order anu sug gested f that further specchmnklng be post poned I until after the work of the conven tion I was accomplished. Silas llobbms , a colored attorney , was elected temporary chairman.Heexpressed his appreciation of the honor , and then proceeded to I spe.ik of the urgency of hard work at this time. I IIo did not take kindly to the sugges tion 1 of a combination between the south d west , but thought producers In all parts if the 1 country should combine. Ho wanted the law 1 of love to govern men ana thought that wus the position for men to take. Ho re joiced to see a division in the old parties and foresaw great accessions to the ranks of the pcoplo's party arrayea against the snobs and others , "thq coiitciiiptlalcness of which could not bo expressed because of the poverty of tno English language. " Ho said it was folly to think of settling this question in any other than by the bal lot , and proper voting could only bo secured after proper education. 13. 1C. Leavenworth was elected secretary. A committee of five was appointed on cre dentials , the chair naming H. Cohen , John Joffcout , 11. L. Wheeler , Gus Williams and J. W. Logan. While the committee was out , J. W. Edgor- toti of South Omaha was Induced to uulcaso n few ideas. Ho foicsaw great Impending disaster , Just us had been foreseen by several other political prophets of his faith. Ho thought the people had passed the period of education , and that 73 per cent of the people wore in favor of the demands of the populist party. The trouble was that the populists were not shrewd enough and had been pluycd for suckers. Whore "Our Joo" The populists must become politicians. The opposition was already trying a.to get the populists to nominate tea republican for the supreme bench. The republicans had postponed their con vention until after the populists , In orJer that they might nominate this same man and then elect htm. Then where would the populist party bo , with the wind all taken uut of its sails } Kdgcrton made n fervent plea against sanding a delegation from Douglas county that would favor the nomi nation uf Maxwell. The committee on credentials reported 1,15 ! delegates present with proper credentials. The report was adopted , Is.lo Tlio temporary organization was made permanent , and the convention proceeded to the election of delegates , A wrangle ensued us to the apportionment , but the city was llnally given t .vonty-sevpn delegates , South Omaha suven ' , country pro- clncts ten , and two at largo , Hdgorton Introduced a resolution endorsing the Western Laborer , and 411 amendment wus offered to Include Gcorgo Washington liranstar's Populist.

Joe Edgorton scented trouble , and Allen Hoot feared n coalition of sonio kind. Ho Insisted that every tlmo the populists had cohabited . with another political party the populists had boon the victims , ana this resolution meant n bargain and n trade that would bring trouble. Edgerton again bobbed up to ask that the delegation bo instructed for Prof. A. A. Munro of South Omaha , for regent of the university. Ho insisted that for six years ho had been an "unswaverine" populist. Allen Hoot argued that the "convont'on ' put their heads together and select an agri culturist , " ns It was of much more Impor tance than the candidacy of n htghcocko- lorum Hko Mr. Munro.
