ton, secretary. Hon. Edward Piersepont
was unacle to be present. Senators

gave the committee tie benefit OF their
advices. AS a result of their de iberations
the committee gave out this evening
the following address to the public:
The national executive silver COM
mittee desires to call attention of the
country TO the object lesson which is
being exhibited in the desperate strug
gle OF the great financial institutions on
both sides of the Atlantic to increase
the gold reserves TO avoid bankruptcy
and ruin and that any increase by any
one necessarily reduces the reserves of
the other Why should such a condit
ion Of things exist in time of profound
peace and abundant harvests? Why
should all the great banking institutions
attribute stagDation and hard times to d
scarcity of money, while they are exert
ing all their power to make money scarce
by adhering to the gold standard when
they admit that there is not enough gold
to maintain business and credi: ing gold
standard countries?
We have been doing business, paying
debts and distributing our annual pro-
ducts by money standard that has been
growing dearer and dearer until it is fifty
per cent larger than eighteen years ago,
when silver was clandestinely demoae-
tlzed. The people are determined that
this injustice shall cease, and it will
cease in spite of the sophistry OF GOLD
worshippers or the cupldity of the credit
holding classes. The remedy is In the
restoring of i-metalism. Support the
credit structure of the banks and the
country by the demand for free and
unlimited coinage. Had it not been for
the incl eased coinage OF silver under the
act of July 1880 We could not have stood
the drain of gold that has recently been
going on without the precipitation of a
panic and the pro5traton Of business.
Gold and silver without limit are money
by the constitution. This money must
be restored to the people. This is the
permanent Issue in this country and
Ghnnl1 ha crrnh in tho oil
this year. We regret that the republi-
can state convention in Chicago prac-
tically declared against the free use of
silver as money when they endorsed the
acts of congress which treats silver as a
commodity. The demand for the free
coinage of silver is a demand that silver
shall be coined for use as money and not
bought as commodity. It's demand
that silver iself sna be money and be
coined in the same manner for use as
money as it was for thousands of year
before Mr.. Sherman COMMITTEES! from the
mint bill in 1888 the silver dollar. If
the silver of the world and al taas can
be- produced cannot he restored - It's
price as money to supplement gold,
bankruptcy and ruin are inevitable
unless some other kind of money can be
devised TO take the place of Doth. Let
the Ohio convention representing the |
gold trust understand that this silver |
cannot be remonetized and silver subs |
tItuted for both gold AID silver. The |
people will not be destroyed for want Of |
money. The gold trust by rejecting |
one or the precious metals, has taught |
that both may be rejected. Tho rad |
icalism of the republican party of ONO |
for contraction Is in danger Of being |
met by rauicalism for imitation. The |
time for subterfuge and ambiguity Of |
language Is past. Platforms intended to
deceive voters are insulting to the intel |
ligence of the American people.
