NEW MEXICO WILL Be THERE.
An Ablo set of Representatives 10 tho
National Silver Convention
Its Object.

Appended is list Of delegates and
alternates appointed to-day by Act. Gov.
Thomas TO represent New Mexico at the
national silver convention to be held 1t
st. Louis November 2G.
The promoters of this convention earn
estly believe that the subject to be dis
cussed and the objects sought to be at
tanned, to.wit: The rehabilitation OF
silver as one OF the money metals of this
country, as contemplated by our federal
constitution, are matters Of the suprem-
est moment to the welfare OF our people
and OF vital interest to mankind the world
over.
Since the demonstration of silver by
the leading nations Of the old world, FOL
lowed by the same movement on the part
OF the United States, there has been a
coIrespondingly steady decline i'll prices
OF commodities everywhere-a depression
in trade and business enterprises almost
unparalleled in history.
Tie characterization Of silver worked
by law practical coniscation Of the
earnings OF labor, the products and prop
ertv OF debtors, and transferred them
without adequate consideration to the
Golfers Of creditors, and depressed the
markets for labor and its products
throughout the world.
Although in this country there has been
| d partial restoration OF silver coinage by
the act OF February 2S, 1878, yet that act
| y.I;nI, ou+l, aVivnI o,J rorp;ra1 fba Sncrp-
tary OF the treasury to purchase and coin
not less than $2,000,0O0 nor more than
81 000,0 900 worth of silver bullion per
month, has not been cxecutedin the spirit
in which it was enacted. The minimum
amount OF only $2,000,000 per month has
been the constant and ALMOST unvarying
rule governing the treasury officials i'll
the purchase and coinage OF silver bullion
by virtue or this law. The consequence
has been that all commodities, measured
in terms of money as fixed by an arbitrary
gold standard, have declined from year to
year till the presenttime. A full compliance
with the present law and the ultimate free
coinage Of silver is among the demands
this convention will make of the national
government in behalf OF the west. The
