But what jiarty ' ii .:i oiititrv is . oiiiiu^ io defoMO 1(3 col?/ Th? loes of our gold, the departure of our gold will, as some opponents say, bring about depression. Yet gold staid with xiv from tho beginn'ug in usual quantity ami proportion until 1873, when we ceased coining silver. From 1873 to 1878, whilo silver was not coined, gold touched a iow ebb. When, tu 1878, we began to coin silver again gold returned in larger sums than ever uu.l stayed and increased with us. Since we ceased tho coinage of silver iu 1893..luring 1894 95, gold has left us ngatu. The faith of the advocate of a single gold standard Is compounded of one truth and oue pornioious euor. That coined standard dollars should be of equal legal value is true, but that the metal in them must be of equal bullion value is a fallacy so contrary to our comuion sense and experience that it cannot be much aided by prophecy. Let us. U3 bbuetahibts, remember that we a* e American citiucns of tbe great republic dealing oalmly and deliberately with our own highest interests. Let us take counsel of faith and hope. Let us go forth with tho manly hearts without fear, believing in all confidence thut tho silver and gold dollar of our minis, tho money of tho past, sound, tried and true, shall also be and remain tho money of tho future." The nomination of E. B. Wade,of Tennessee, for secretary, followed, and at tho suggestion of Senator Harris all the newspaper men present were rnndo assistant secretnt!es_ Resolutions wore pnssou ibat each State should name a vice precedent end a member of the committee on resolutions. A roll call of States followed. Amid enthusiastic applause Senator ITurri: was then named delegate at large from the United States. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, presided at the night session. Congressman Joeeph C. Sinley. of Pennsylvania, addressed the eon >0.1t'ou in substance as follows: "I believe that there ore going to be two partiee ft the coming eleotlou. One oT tbcm will be the nionoTuctaUi.-tj and the oilier .'he American people in iheir maje.,ty. The gold .standard lias been elected many times be'"ore.

We silver people have all all the logic and all the law on oi!rsSde. The Secretary o: the Treasury spoke to you in this hall the other day. I do not know what to quote Mr. Carlisle when he said that the demounti: ation of the wliito money would moan misery and unhappiness for haif the people ,>f the world ; then John (1. Carlisle was .he tribune of people, now he is the high priest of the teiup'.e of Mammon. Mr. Curli.de the pleban and Mr. Carlisle the aristociat ire two very different kinds of i>oople. lint 1 do not want to plnin of M'. Carlisle. Every word, ho iias said abort the demor.e'.'/ation of s ilver bus come true. "The President says he is afraid the silver dodar will depreciate, l et tho only way tho dollar east depreciate i< f. r prices to rise. This is equivalent to an admission by tho Pri-s'dent that he i-' a'rai 1 pri s will rise. If the President would divide his anxieties :noro equally he! wtjen the jWitcm* win? produce the wealth of the coniili yeml helimiteii few who ah.sorh them, lie would make a better chief executive.

Although nothing whs said in the resolutions about abolition of party lines us proposed by Mble.y. Stewart and others, the speakers of the day almost without exception took care to assert their Democracy and to repudiate any affiliation with either Republicans ot Populists. The resolutions follow: "Silver and gold coin have in all ages constituted the money of the world, were the money of the fathers of the republic, the money of history and o! the constitut ion "The universal experience of mankind has demons!rated that the joint use ?if both silver and gold coin as money constitute the most stable standard of value and to have a full amount of both metals is necessary as ? medium of "xchange. "The demonetization of either of these historic rneial; means an appreciation in the value of money, a fall in the prices of commodities, a diminution of profits of legitimate business, a continuing increase in the burden of debts, a withdrawal of money from the channels of trade and industry where it no longer yields a safe and sure return and its like accumulation in the banks and the great money centers of the country. "There is no health or soundness in a financial system under which a hoarded dollar is productive of increase to its possessor while an invested dollar yields a constantly diminishing return, and under which fortunes are made by the accretions of idle capital or destroyed by a persistent fall in the price of commodities and a persistent dwindling in the margin of profits in almost every branch of useful industry. Such a system is a premium on sloth and a penalty upon industry, and such a system is that which the criminal legislation of 1873 has imposed upon this country. "The bi metallic standard of silver and gold has behind it the experience of ages and has been tested and proved by the enlightened and deliberate iudc mont of mankind. The gold standard is a departure from the established policy of the civilized world, with nothing to commend it but 22 years of depression and disaster to the people under extraordinary accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few. There are some facts bearing upon thio question, recognized and admitted by all candid men, whether advocates of bimetallism or of a single gold standard. Among these is the fact that the very year that marked the change from bi-metallisrn to the single gold standard is the very year that marked the chan?re from a condition of rising prices, large profits, general contentment and great prosperity, to a condition of falling prices, diminishing profits, insecurity of investment, unemployed labor and a heavy depression in all branches oi trade and industry. It is not a matter of dispute. even among the honest advocates of the gold standard, that general prosperity came to an end with the destruction of the bi metallic system and that hard times, tallinirprices, idle workingmen and widespread depression came in with the gold standard and prevails to-day wherever the gold standard has been adopted. "Every international monetary conference that has been called, every demand in this country and in Europe for an international agreement to ieestal/iish the bi-metallic standard, is a confession that the demouetix.ition of the system was a blunder if not a crime; that its consequences have been I disastrous and that the conditions that it has wrought are full of menace and of peril. The logic of facts establishes beyond intelligent question that the destruction of silver as primary money by a conspiracy of selfish interests is the cause of the widespread depression and suffering that began with ihe gold standard. There can be no restoration of prosperity, no permanent re!icI from prevailing conditions, until the great I cause has been removed by a complete | restoration of silver to its proper place as a money metal, equal with go'd. "We believe in a money of stable value: we believe, least of all. in an up] predating standard; it is only through- < ; the practical operation of bi metallism j that a stable standard of value can be I secured A standard constituted of I money constantly increasing :n value ;s not a sound, a single, nor a stable standard, but a constantly changing standard. The effect of gold mono metallism is to establish one standard for the creditor and another for I he debtor and there can be no more dishonest monetary system than that which gives short measure to the borrower and long measure to the lender. "Under the policy prevailing prior to 1873 there can be na violent change :n the re'ative value of the two metals, for a rise in value of one metal is counteracted by a decreased demand and a fall ' in value by an increased demand. Under the operation of this benelicient ! law a stable relation was maintained between them in spite of the most extreme changes in relative productions. From the first period of our history up to 1873 the right of the debtor to choose whet er he should pay his debts in silver or i gold coin was always recognized. The subsequent policy has been to transfer this right to the creditor, thus tending to constantly increase the value of the i dearer metal and destroy the parity between them. Uelieving that :t is absolutely necessary to reverse this iniquitous and ruinous policy, we therefore i resolve. i "That we favor the immediate rosto| rat ion of silver to its former p'aee as a ! full legal tender, standard money. equal I with gold, and the (tee and unlimited . coinage of bo'h stiver ami g. id at tne ' j ratio of 10 to 1 and upon terms of exact i equality. | "That while we should welcome the j co-operation of other nations we believe ! that the United State* should not wait t upon the pleasure of foreign governi ments or the consent of foreign credi1 tors but should themselves proceed to reverse the 'grinding process' that is destroying the prosperity of the people and should lead by their example the nations of the eart h. I "That the rights of the American i | people, the interests of American labor and the prosperity of American irulus try have a higher claim to the consid' eration of the people's law-makers than the greed of foreign creditors, or the 1 nvancious demands made by idle holders of idle capital'. The right to rcituiHio ivs own monetary system in the interests of its own people is a right which no free government can i barter, sell or surrender. This reserved right is a part of every bond, of every ' contract and of every obligation. No creditor or claimant can set up a right that can take precedence over a nation's obligations to promote the welfare of - the masses of its own people. This is a i debt, higher end more binding than all other debts and one which it is not only dishonest but in. .om.ble to ignore. "l'mler the financial policy that now prevails we sr.- toe .ini tilled with idle u?'d discontent d W'.rK'i.gnieri and an evergrowing army ?l trumps, men whom lack of w.rk ,.nd opportunity have made outcasts ano beggars AtI he other en J find that a lew tii ou I sand families own one-half the wealth of the country. "The centralization of wealth has gone hand-in-hand with the spread of poverty. The pauper and the plutocrat are twin children of the same vicious and unholy sjstem. The situation is fuli of menancc to the liberties of the people and the life of the republic. The issue is enfranchisement or hopeless servitude. Whatever the power of money can do by debauchery and corruption to maintain its grasp on the law-making power will be done. "We therefore appeal to the plain people of the land, with perfect confidence in their patriotism and in telligence, to arouse themselves to a full sense of the peril that confronts them and defend the citadel of their iberties with a vigilance that shall neither slumber nor sleep." The convention adjourned to-night, after speeches by W. J. Bryan, A J. Warner and Senator Wolcott. The committee on resolutions also introduced the following resolutions, which, like the platform,' wus unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That a committee composed of one member from each State be appointed by the delegates thereof in this convention whose duty it shall be to correspond with the representative advocates of bi metallism and bimetallic societies in the different sections of the Union and devise measures to advance the cause of bi metallism throughout the United States. That this committee shall have power to cause a national conference of hi metallists whenever, in the opinion of the committee, the c.uise of bi-met all ism can be advanced thereby. Sain committee shall have power to fill all vacancies." NATIONAL ' I MMi n I F.MKN. The follow.to: national or. nutter men wr?'' hosoi.
