Who got the Commis? sions ? ' Tillman's Address to Silver men at Cooper Union. NEW YORK, June '26,-The ?silver mass meeting at Cooper Union to? night filled the large auditorium and all the available standing room was occupied The audience '.vas entho sistic and applauded loudly every time an opportunity offered itself Senator B. R Tillman of South Caro lina occupied a prominent place on the platform and was cheered lustily when he entered the auditorium a few minutes before 8 o'clock. George F Keeney, general organi? zer o? the American silver organiza? tion, presided He said that the object of the meeting was to get resolutions adopted declaring for the free coinage of silver and urging the adoption of free coinage by the Chica? go convention After Senator Bixby had made a few remarks in which he said that the country needed free silver and was going to get it, Hon Alexander Delmar was introduced as a recog? nized authority the world over on the money question. He made a lenthy speech in which he said that the capitalists were not content with the .high rates of interest, but they want? ed to bind the peple to pay in gold, of which they had a monopoly The country needed a medium of ex? change. Gold would not do because it would flow out of the country. Silver and greenbacks would do be? cause they would stay here. Fifty per cent, of the business of the coun? try, the speaker said,is done by noties, proving that there is not sufficient money in both gold and silver for the business of the country. "This na? tion, if it is to remain in politics, must devise and maintain its own system of money," said Mr. Delmar, "and I say with the monetary com missions of 18T6 and 1878 that ali at tempts to render money international are doomed to destructive failure." It took several minutes for the vast crown in the auditorium to get through cheering when Senator Till? man was introduced. Sen-ator Tillman begau by paying his respects to the newspapers He I said'that the night would give an j opportunity to show the members of the audience what newspapers were unconscionable liars The owners of the newspapers, he said, were prostitutes pf journalism and, uot a ' paper in New York would dare print his speech in full. The speaker said that although he had been much talked about about and lied about, he bad written his name on a page of South Carolina histoiy in such a way that it would remain there always. I Coming to the money question, the senator said: "If the Chicago conven? tion does not give us Democracy and return to the faith of Washington and Jefferson I wil? have nothing to do with it afterwards. "The money question is np and has got to be settled It is as im? portant as was the slavery question, and if enough of you can get to? gether to reverse the verdict of tiie two millionire conventions you will desever the thanks of the whole country." Senator Tillman referred to the money of the east and thimble rig gers and repeated his assertion that Cleveland was a tool of Wall street. The Senator called on all those who had handled gold within a year to hold up their hands Half a dozen hands were raised Then he called on those who had not handled gold j coin to raise their hands Possibly j 1,000 hands went up "Then wheie has the gold zauc?" | asked Senator Tillman. ?*You have not bandied it although ? $450,000 000 of the ?550,000,000 in j government bonds were sold on Man- j Matten island. The Senator said that if he were j on the senate committee investi- ? gating the recent bond sale he would ? ask President Cleveland why he made | the private contracts to sell bonds at j 104J per cent, when they were sell-1 ing on the public market at 117. The Senator then talked about un? employed labor, which, he said, ^was a lever by which those employed i were ground down to low wages. | "You see on your own street carl Ines." he continued, "cars labelled United States mail. Those cars don't ! carry auy mail. They are labelled this ! so the car lines can claim the protec- j tion of the United States troops in case | of a strike." Senator Tillman characterized John j Sherman, of Ohio, as the high priest i of mammon and tho joint owner with Hanna of Wm. McKinley. "Ail of you who are going to vote for gold kold up your hand," con eluded the Senator. Five hands were held up. "All who are going to vote for silver regardless of party hold up your hand." Over half the audience raised their hands. The speaker said as he sat down : "America for Americans, and to hell with England and all other coun? tries.7' Clarence Ladd-Davis read resolu? tions which were adopted by ac- j clamation. They demand the incor- ' poration in the platform of the j "national Democracy the following : j i First, That the mints of the United j States shall be reopened to equally ; unrestricted coinage for gold and ? silver into unlimited legal tender .' money of the United States. j The gold to issue in the present \ standard gold coins and the silver to ! issue in the present standard silver j dollars. The depositors of the gold ? or silver at the mint to re I ceive, if tiley prefer, in lieu j j of coin at the coining value, coin j I certificates which shall be redeemed j j on demand of gold or at the coinage . i option and according lu the conven j ' ience of the United States And as against a panic and money, strin \ gency the secretary of the treasury shall be empowered to issue such coin certificates additionally against deposits of interest-bearing bon ils of the United States, the interest ac- j cruing on the bonds to inure to the | United States pending their re-exchange for the tcoin certi? ficates, which coin certificates when returned shall be cancelled; provided that such additional issues of coin certigcates shall not reduce the per? centage of coin and bullion leserved j for coin certificates and silver certifi? cates below 60 per cent of the aggre? gate sum of coin certificates and sil ver certificates outstanding. The now outstanding silver eertifi cates, gold certificates and treasury notes of 1890 to be retired as they come into the treasury. This (A) is free coinage at 16 lo 1; the convenient gold certificates (B) to take the place of gold certificates, silver certificates and treasury notes oflS90. The safeguard (0) would provide for a temporar}' increase of $327,000,000 of paper money against the silver reported in the treasury June 1st. Second, we demand provision for direct legislation by means of the optional initiative and referendum. It was resolved that a committee attend the Populist convention in St Louis to urge the adopting of the above demands as a means to harmon? ize all elements of reform, in order to unite all reform forces for the pend? ing campaigu* The Cadets and Their Homes.
