' 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?
