THE SILVER CONVENTION.


 A Paper Recommending She More
 Liberal Use Of silver in Our Cur
 rency.
 ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 27.-At the National Silver convention o.day Delegate Morse of Colorado, introduced the following resolu- ton:
 Resolved, That the senators and represen- latives in the congress of the United States be and hereby are requested to establish unit for the coinage of silver with the South American States that shall make silver coin pass current on par with gold in all the Americas of the western hemisphere and that they also be requested to open nego. tfations with the congress of all the Amer icas now in session in Washington for the building of a railroad from the United States to and through the States of South America.
 After lively discussion the resolution was referred to the committee on resolutions. A number of resolutions were offered in rapid succession and all referred to the committee on resolutions. A paper from John Thomp- son, viee-presfdent of the Chase National bank of New York, was then read. It was the deliberate judgment of MT. Thompson that the movement for more liberal use of silver in our currency supply should be gradual. For instance, first secure the coin age of the maximum $4 100000 per month and see the results produced under the aug mented coinage. In his judgment this augmented coinage would pave the way for the adoption of free coinage by exclamation.
 Resolutions were presented and referred under the rules favoring the election of a friend of silver as speaker of the. House of Representatives. Congressman R. P. Bland of Missouri then spoke at considerable length in favor of the free coinage of silver.
