cite him. He is resting very comfortably
this evening, much better than anticipated.

An interesting Discussion Of Resumption
ana the decentralization Of silver.

New YoRK, Sept t9.-The second days
session Of the bankers convention COM
menced this morning. The members arrived
last night and this morning.
The meeting was called TO order at Il
o'clock by President Hall. Mr.. T. F. Van
Buest. Of Pittsburg. offered series of reso-
lutions setting forth that this convention
pledge itself to aid the government In resum-
ing specie payments; that it is not advisable
for this association to put forth any plan for
resumption, MS the Secretary Of the Treasury
must have already matured his plan; and
that committee be appointed to confer with
the Secretary Of the Treasury and use every
influence to bring about resumption in 1879;
that the tax now levied ON banks Is onerous
and should be repealed. The resolutions were
referred.
Hon. w. 3. Groesbeck addressed the con-
vention on the silver question.
The next speaker was Philo B. Ruggles, Of
New York, who advocated the demonstration
Of silver. provided the silver coin should have
the same value as metal as gold coins.
In reply to D question Of s. V. Poore, Of
Massachusetts,, as TO the actual value Of the
present silver dollar, Mr. Geoesbeck said he
would place the silver and gold dollar side
by side and make them of equal value.
Poore denied that the Groesback PROPOSE
ton could be carried out He argued that
silver and gold would not remain at an equal
standard, and the more valuable would in
consequence be driven out Of the country.
No advantage could possibly result from the
establishment Of silver standard
Samuel Harris, of Philadelphia defended
Groesback s theory. He argued that, il silver
was made payable for all bills at par with
gold, it was immaterial as to the weight Of
tho coin or the quality or the alloy.
After some minor discussions an adjourn
ment was taken until evening.
The attendance at the evening session Of
the Bankers Convention was larger this
evening than hitherto. paper on the silver
question by Prof. Perry, Of Williams College,
was read. The Professor took the ground
that we must have gold standard or lose our
national credit. Mr.. Moss of Ohio, offered q
resolution that, in the opinion Of the associa-
ton, If silver is to be practically remonetized,
the coins should be made Of such weight as
to make them OF comparatively equal value
with gold coin, and hence interchangeable.

in the constitutional authority over all cor

mercantile and commercial resources of our
country, to the end that labor may be fully
and profitably employed, and the general well

ployer, only has become a gigantic swindle
and fraud on the right of labor.

be reserved for actual settlers only.
10. We deprecate all efforts to redress
wrongs by violence of law, and believe that
