Bolting Silver Delegates Issue
a Strong Address to the
People.
A Summary of Financial Condi?

the Country.
THE PENDULUM'S SWING.
.4 Cleverly Worded Bid to the Chicago
Convention and a Deathblow to
McKinley's Chances.
ST. LOUIS, Jane 19.-At the secret
conference of the bolting delegates yes?
terday and last night, af'er much care?
ful consideration the subjoined address
to the people"of the .United States was
agreed upon aud authorized to be given
to the press. While tbr address con?
tains much in the nature of a silver
coinage argument, the concluding para?
graphs show the determination of the
bolting delegates to bring about the
nomination if po.?sib?? of Senator
Hsnry M Teller of Colorado as the
candidate for the Presidency oo a plat?
form having for its cardinal principle
the free and unlimited coinage of sil?
ver. Tbe address in full is as follows :
"To the People of the Uoited States :
* Obeying the call of duty and justi- j
fied by the commoo citizenship of this j
republic, we add/ess this communication j
to thc people and the forthcoming con?
ventions of the United States In do?
ing so we claim no authority or right
ether than that which belongs to every
man to express personal conviction, but
we respectfully solicit the co-oper. 'ion
of all who belive that the time hat> come
. Tor a return to the simpler and more
direct method of naming men for na?
tional service thao has obtained ia re?
cent years. Political party organiza?
tion is necessary, because without it the
individual voter is dumb. But the
party is only the means, not the end ; it
is the voice and not the sense. As the
world advances in this wonderful epoch
of intellectual development and physical
improvement, there is a constaut re?
quirement for better things. Tbe indi
vidual feels that requirement and heeds
it, or he fails in life's endeavor. Par?
ties mast also obey the same law. lt
follows, thar the moment a party shall
choose to stand still or retrogress, it is
no longer efficient to achieve the end to
which the people are necessarily des?
tined. There is no sanctity in mere
party name, and the mark of decaj is
set on individual strength io a nation
where the absolute rule of political
organization calls men from the truth
for the sake of expediency and estab?
lishes insincere submission to partisan
rule for the sake of power.
Recognizing the value and tbe splen?
did achievements of political parties in
this country as elsewhere, we are yet
constrained to believe that for more
than 20years no one of them has been
entirely sufficient for the needs of the j
people. The greater trend to better |
things resting in the heart and purpose
of all men, bas beeo stayed during the
latter part of rbis generation by tbe
failure of parties to express in their
achievements the highest hope and as?
piration of the mass of the people who
constitute the parties. And there bas
been growing in this country-swelling
with each recurreno? of national elec?
tions, a great mass of independent
thinkers acd voters which failing within
itself to control, has 'gravitated be?
tween the two great parties. Since
1872 (excepting possibly the election of
1876*)tbe pendulum has swung from side
to side within four years. In 1872 the
Republican party elected tbe Presi?
dent ; in 1876, the Democracy claimed
the election ; in 1880, the Republicans
elected; io 1884, the Democrats elect?
ed ; iu 1888, the Republicans elected ;
in 1892, the Democrats elected, in 1896
(until within a few weeks) it bas been
conceded that the Republicans would
elec; What has been ?hd^gause of the
mighty oscillation of a mass which this
year has probably obtained controlling
proportions ? Every man can answer to
himself. If he has been an observer,
if he bas bad interests that were affect?
ed, if he bas felt a hope to see greater
justice done aud has seen that hope
blasted, be knows that the general dis?
satisfaction has arisen from the fact that
party promises were broken to the peo?
ple by party performances; be knows
that soon as the election wss over
and successful candidates were install?
ed, they became the servitors of the
party and the advocates of a narrow
and non-progressive policy within which
alone there seemed to be an assurance
of eelfisb safety and partisan approval.
During all this period we have lacked a
great constructive administration No
new social truth has been put forward
in an effective way. While in all
departments of physical life there have
been developments and achievements of
ease and comfort to the favored of man?
kind, in the still greater and more im?
portant domain of social reform we
nave stood still or retrogressed.
lt is not that the people have not felt
the stirring of determination that, this
inaction has endured, but because of
the rule cf party which bas largely con?
trolled men in and out of office. It has
become a source of reproach to aov
man that he should dare to renounce
allegiiocs to organization. Men have
been expected to submit their views to
the dictation of conventions, although
it is common knowledge- that conven?
tions have been swayed to views and
declarations not the most approved by
for their welfare.
We do not arrogate to ourse Ivo-:

to assert themselves through such rm

We hold that in the great work of

Continuation during the nest fr:
years upon the present financial syst*
will bring down on the American pi
pie that cloud of impending evil,

H ffdid H) make, as the platform
H Hires, a law providing for the re
B||^?P'ion of specie payments, and
Bc then every dollar has bec;; as
j^ffd as gold ; but it is also .rue ?bat
liff underlying theory cf that law was
jSKyment in gold dollars and t.he eztinc
W? '? in 1870 of all the greenback debt.
Hflr. Sherman, who was then Secretary
H: the Treasury, promoted the enact
Hment of a greenback issue Jaw which
? not only stopped the extermination of
I greenbacks at ?846,000,000, the pres
R ent quantity outstanding, but compelled
f | their perpetual reissue. It is their re
.jdemptioo, therefore, that is a potent
, i cause of our present monetary dis
fj orders Worse even, than the gteen
j back reissue law of 1878 w*s the Sher
?I man law of 1890, which was repealed
, J three years after, and which not only
. I collected in the treasury a useless mas9
; j of silver bullion, but emitted $150,
? j 000,000 in treasury notes also perpet
I ually redeemable in gold.
'.Recently, o?iog to the disastrous
i ? currency panic caused by that Sherman
, J law, the income of the Government has

, I ture and comparatively little of that
, j insufficient income has been received iu
? i gold. Consequently, gold for redemp
t:on purposes bas been purchased with
i new bonds aDd the gold paid from tbe
I ? treasury in redeeming greenbacks has
p speedily gone to Europe. From 1879,
i when specie resumption began, and
down to the eoactment of the Shermsn
j makeshift in 1890, only, as I remember
, j figures, some ?39,000,000 in greeu
j backs in eleven aod a half years had
, j been presented to the treasury for re?
demption in gold, and since the Sher?

The plea for the Sherman law of 1890
was also the maintenance of the gold ?
standard. Nevertheless and despite
Republican evasion, you may depend
upon it that cost what it may, the peo?
ple of our country will insist that all

Yesterday there was much talk in of?
ficial and political circles about the one?
sided campaign of recrimination and so
forth that is now io progress. There
seems to.be a general desire that the
tour of the State be abandoned. The
chief argument is the lack of int?r?ts
that is being displayed in the campaigu
and the ??haracter of the exhibitions
thus far.
The State execuiive commttee has
no authority to ca" he meetings off.
The constitution of t^e party makes il
incumbent upon the committee to ar?
range for the them to be held io eact
county. The only way to stop it is foi
the several oounty committees to mee
and say that their respective countiei
do not care for meetings.
Of course no oue can tell what wi!
be done, if anything, yet the desire ii
general to have an end of the thing.

Tampa, Fla., June 25.-When the
steamer Commodore left Port Tampa
this afternoon she was followed by tbe
revenue cutter McLane, the latter hav
j ing orders to stop the suspected filibus?
ter. Wheu Captain Morton of tbe
Commodore gained, tbe McLane scot
four solid shot after the filibuster aod
the latter came to Tbe McLane's
commander searched the Commodore,
but nothing contraband was found.
The Commodore was allowed to go and
the McLane started back to port. Six
miles down the bay, however, the Com
raodone came to and was approached by
three scoundrels. Nearly a hundred
men and scores of boxes of arms and
ammunition were transferred from the
schooners io the Commodore. The
McLane'? commander saw this transfer
by means of his glasses and a^aiu
pursued the Commodore. The McLane
gained at first aod fired on the Commo
dare repeatedly, but the shot fell short.
The powerful engines of the Commo?
dore soon told, however, and she be?
gan to forge ahead. When the boats
passed Sc. Peterburs, the Commodore
was leading the McLane *ix miles. As
the McLane has no coast pilot she will
have to lay todariDg the night aod this,
will enable the Commodore to make
good her escape. \

Railroad Rates too High.
vv^c^ha^
ing the questiou of establishing !
starch works in the South, says :
"In April I took a trip to Spartan- ?
burg to look up the opening of manu- j
facturing starch at that point. The j
outlook was very discouraging, since j
the price of corn is from ten cents to
15 cents higher in the West, and j
freight rates are so arranged that
except within a radius of fifty miles
the local factory would pay higher j
rates than factories in the West,
while on shipments to the seacost the
rate is lower from Cincinnati to the j
coast cities than it is from Spartan
burg to these cities. The difference
is from fifteen to twenty cents pei
1000 pounds, masing it impossible to
place starch in New England or in
Europe in competition with the
West "
Presuming that those statements
as to freight rates are correct, they
merit the careful investigation of
the railroad people of the South.

BEAUTY HATH CHARMS
j and all the charms which beau
I ty likes best to don are shown
in our grand display of fash?
ionable jewelry for this season.
Jewels like these would en?
hance the charms of the most
fascinating belle, and surely no
fair one would despise such
brilliant aids to her beauty.
Like personal loveliness, they
conquer admiration on sight ^
; they score new victories at ev
j ery inspection. Those who
j look over our stock do not
! willingly stop with examina?
tion. Beauty may now be
made easily irresistible by a
few judicious purchases from
our display of up to date jew?
elry.
