A lively silver meeting was held in

man, Geo. II. English, and III. c. Lew
is spoke for the silver bill, and Judge
Campbell, Captain J. NJ. Balderston,
and w. B. Hutchinson, spoke against
yemonetizing silver, and in favor of
enforcing the resumption flaw as it
stands. The meeting, however, adopt
ed the following pointed and definite
preamble and resolutions, which we
commend to the consideration of all
meetings of the people to discuss the
financial question:
'tActuated by a sincere regard for
the public welfare, we view the present
financial agitation with deep alarm.
Our lesson of past experience has
taught the faliible basis of coin as a
protection to circulating paper curren-
ey;
past il has been a delusive phantom,
vanishing at the moment of its great
est need; depreciating and depicting
the currency it profess to protect,
thus ever working periodical revulsions
in which sequestered coin, rotten cur
rency and broken credit, entailed upon
the people financial sacrifice and ruin.
We view the present financial sys-
tenn of our Nation Gas in tituted by the
necessities of wary as a special light of
providence, correcting old delusions {;
a system from the people, for the peo-
pie, which honestly administered in
spirit and contract, az originally writ
ten, with prudent increase of currency
as demanded by national development,
will secure TO US q return of enduring
prosperity, If tosteFed by wise and
judicious legislation, ana sheltered by
the people from the worthless system
of wildcat banking which in the past
has been the real parent OF financial
commissions and widespread bankrupt
cy and ruin. It is therefore
IS RoQ0Tn0d That tho
of silver was designing fraud, and we
ask its reconciliation of its weight
and value at the issue of the United
States bonds.
''ResolUed, That the assumption of
specie payments by the government is
q corrupt speculation-a myth. We
ask it indefinitely deferred.
"ReSotUed. That the wiIlful perpe-
traitors of the first, and the subtle ad-
vocates of the second, In the light of
present revelations, are unworthy the
confidence OF the people of the United
States OF America"
