Chicago, !?!., April 14.? Mt;, Henry
ltobbiihs received from President Cleve
land this evening a letjer declining tbo
Invitation of >a nomine r of business nun
of ('hicugio to attend a public reception
hero himself and Mw. Cleveland. On
A^ii-il Oth out? hundred of the most ixroon
lnent cntl&ens of Ohioago, both Demo
oratia aiicl Republicans, extended an in
vitation to 'fho President, stating tlmt
they wore auxionn to expreaa a deep
sense yf uppreclatiou of his statesman
like and courageous action in niaintain
y ing the tinaneiul or edit of our nation, and
his ait t i t utle In ^avar of the preservation
of sound national currency. Thorp was
much disappointment at Mr. Cleveland's
refusal to come here, but his excuse it*
well, rooeivtnl. Mr. ltohbins says that
while he is sorry tlhat the President was
unable U> aoeept the invitation, as the
ovation which would have boon given
htm would have given {treat impetus to
the honest money sentiment throughout
tlhe VVewt, sti 1 I he i? glad the invitation
Was sent, as In ihis reply Mr. Cleveland
takes occasion to speak on the topic,
?and lie believes Iris words will have
great weight. The following is the text
of President O&eveland's reply to the
Chicago committee:
The. Letter.
lOxecutive Mansion, Washington, April
K5. ? To Mtwiu Robert Mm. Baker, Goo.
Smith, .1 oil 1 1 A. Koelic, T. '\V. llarvcy,
David Kelly ami 1 1 Miry H. Itubbins:
Gentlemen? 1 am niiueh gratified by
the exceeding1! y kind ami complimentary
invitation you liave tendered me in' be
lialf of many citizens ??f Chicago to bo
their guest at a gathering in tho interest
.of sound money and wholfegai^'ttnancial
doctrine. My attachment to this cause
la ho great and 1 know so well the hos
pitality ami kindness of the people of
Chicago that my personal inclination is
strongly in favor of accepting your Mat
tering invitation, but niy judgment ami
my estimate of the proprieties of my
oliieial position oibllge me to forego the
enjoyment of participating in the occa
sion you contemplate. 1 hope, however,
tiie event will mark the beginning of
on aKgrissive effort to disseminate^ among
the people safe and prudent financial
ideas. Nothing more important can en
gage the attention of patriotic citizens
because nothing is so vital to the wel
fare of our fellow countrymen ami to
the strength, probiflp and honor of our
mlMou.' ?
The situation we are confronting de
mands tlhat those who appreciate the
imj>ortanee of this subject, and those
who ought to bo the iinst to see im
ftOnding danger, wliould no longer remain
indifferent or over-confident.
If the soimd money sentiment abroad
In tills land is to save us from misdhiet
and disaster, it must be crystalized and
combined, and made immediately ac
tive. I't is dangerous to overlook the
fact that a vast number of our people
with ooaut opportunity thus far to ex
amine tiie question in nil its aajieos have
amine the question in. ail its aspect# ton"ve
w i till ?peelous suggestions which, iu this
1 1 n>e of misfortune and depression, find
willing listeners prepared to give cre
dence to any scheme Which Is plauslb.y
presented as n remedy ?or> their unfor
tunate condition.
What is now\ more nee<led than any-'
thing else is a. plain and simple pre
Mentation of tho argument In favor of
sound money. In other words, It is a
time for the American people to reason
together a<* mciml>erfl of a great nation
?which can promise tlhcnn a contijuiriuce of
protection and safety only eo long aa it*
solvency is unsusjMX-ted, its honor unsul
lied, an<l tiie soundness of Its money
unquestioned. These tthiijfts are ill ex
changed for tho ill.fikSons of a
dcl>a?od currency and gr<nm?ll?#s
hoive of advantages to l>o attitied
liy a <kisregard of our f finan^v
clal credit and ^commercial standing
among the n?tiom\of the -world/ If our
people were isolateo .fjrein all tdliers, and
if tlhe question' of our cufrrwrey oould be
treated without regard to~our relations
to other countries. Its character would
he a matter of comparatively lilt'.? im
portance. If the American . people were
only concerned in the maintenance of
their previous life among themselves,
they wight* return to the old basis of
hartor, am! in this prlmitlvo manner
acquire from each other the materials to
?ni?itiir iiJjji. \v_o-uJLa of. t_helr e.xist.euce, But
if American civilization will Ik> satisfied
with this It would abjectly fail In its
high and noble mission.
In these restless days the farmer is
tempted by the assurance that though
oi.r currency may be debased, redundant
and uncertain, such a situation would
improve the price of liis product. Let
us minimi him that he must buy as well
as fdl; that his dreams of plenty are
shaded hy the certainty that if the price
of things he has to sell in nominally
enhanced the cost of thing** he must buy
will not remain stationary; that "best
prices which cheap money proclaims are
uusuibstautiHl and elusive, and even* if
they were real ami palpable he must
necessarily be left far behind in the
race for their enjoyment.
lr ought not to be difficult to convince
the wage earner that if there werofjben^
tits a rising from a dcgencrated>yr|-em'^
they would reach him least oP*all and
IhhI of nil. Iii an unhealthy stiinilla
tion of prices an increased cost of all
tiie needs of his home must be long' his
portion, while he is nt the same time
vexed with vanishing visions < f increased
w.ig?? and an easier lot; the pages of
history/and experience are full of thi*?
le!*;oiiy Ail insidioiw attempt is made
to cri/ite a prejudice against the advo
cj'tes^o t a Tafe and sound currency by
the insinuation, more or less directly
hi ule, that they liebmg to financial and
brsinrxx rinses and are therefore not
only out of sympathy with the common
people of the land but for w'.fwdi and
wicked purpose*. a>itl willinjr to sacri
fice the interests of those outside their
circle.
I Ixlieve that capital aud wealth
through combination and other- means
Ko.iietiiiiCH gain an undue advantage"! and
it must be conceded that the ma in tenant*1
of a sound currency may, in a sense be
Invested with a greater or hsn import
ance to Individuals' according to their
condition ami circumstance?.
i? h'jm v?t f>r rm lr a difference In de
gree. since it 4s uttwly inipowJble 4hat
any one in our broad land, rich or poor,
whatever may be his occupation, and
whether dwelling fa ? cootrs ?! Amums
aiul commerce, or In a r?nioto corner ot
our domain, can bo really benelitod by a
linaticlul tschcmo not alike Wneficiai t <?
all our people, or that an>v t?no should
l>e excluded from a conundfe. and uui*
versa 1 interest In tho nafo elwweler ami
slablo value of the currency of the
country.
In our relation to this question wo nro
nil in business for we nil buy ami Bell;
tfo we all have to do w ith financial oper
ations. for we all earn money ami ?jM?ud
it. We cannot escape our in^rdepou
tlence. Merchants uti<J* "dealers are in
every neighborhood ami each hue Ilia
shops ami inn mi factories.
Wh?Mver tho wants of man exist, busi
ness and finance in Home dpsrce are
found, related in one direction to tho?e
whoso wants they supply and In another
to the more extensive business and fin
ance to which they are tributary. A
fluctuation in prices at the seaboard is
kno\v?!)the same day or hour In the re
motest hamlet. Th? discredit or tteptv
cltUlon In financial centres of any form
of money In the hands of the people Is
; a signal of Immediate loss everywhere.
If rcckhas discontent and wild experi
ment should sweep our currency from
Us safe support the most defenceless of
all who suffer In that distress and na
tional discredit will be tho i*>or>tp, as
they reckon the loss In their scanty *hp
port and tho laborer and woHtlpgrtian,
as he sees the money he has received
for his toll shrink and shrlvol In his
hand when ho tenders It for the neces
saries to supply his humble homo. f.)ls
|Ull6 It as we may, the line of hattle ts
drawn between the forces of saf a cur
rency and those of sliver monometallism.
I will not believe .that If our people aro
afforded an Intelligent opportunity for
sober second thought they will sanction
| schemes that however clocked mean dis
aster and confusion, nor that they will
consent by undormlnlng the foundation
[ of a safe currency to endanger the bene
ficent character and purpose of their gov
| eminent. Yous very truly,

Tho meeting was held at tho National

and the committee set aside the routine
work laid out for It and applied itself to
discussing the functions that It might
properly exu-clfle In adopting trte pro
gram to local purpose* In 'Ills tonitn
lion.
It was learned that each member s!g
nllled his approval of the plan to make
tho convention the highest ^e^rt-e. u?h. I
ful to the public's** a guide and educa
tor In accordance with the advice in th*
President's letter.
It seamed to the committee that much
good might bo done under a wisely de
veloped plan especially s!not* the conven
tion would he held on the e w of thft fall
elections. Having devoted almost all of
today's session to the sub>-ct. the com
mittee Is considering suggestion* regard- <
In* It from hankers, with the view of
shaping a plan for action at another
