A large meeting was held in Chicago
last night, in behalf of the remoneti-
cation of silver. A long series of
resolutions were adopted. The most
pointed are as follows:
Resolved, That while we have full
confidence in the integrity and patriot
ism of the president, and his earnest
desire to fulfill the duties of his Office,
and promote the public welfare, yet
we view with just alarm, the position
taken by him on this ques ton, In his
late message, and we have good reason
to believe that his Judgment has been
warped and misguided by the bad
coulnsels of his constitutional advisers,
into the adoption of line of policy
which would give the bond.hOlders M
unjust advantage, greatly to the detri-
ment of fine. people. We have search
ed in vain through his message for any
word of true comfort for the struggling
masses, by whose labor the money
must be used to pay these bonds. We
regard his suggestion that by yielding
to the demands of public creditors
these bonds may be exchanged for
Others, at reduced interest, "A delusion.
There are two parties Interested In the
question: those who have to pay and
those who are to receive payments.
We demand that justice be done by
restoring the old, time.honored stand
ard measure of values. The burdens
of the government will then rest light
ly upon the shoulders of prosperous
people But we see no hope of return
ing prosperity in this financial policy
of the president and his mal-advlsers'
