E,MnA. Doc. 4.-Gov. Hill made the follow
,,r address tonight to tho members Of tn,
David D. Hill Club:
The Democrats OF New York stand fast 10

lar coined In the United States shall be tn,
soual Of every other dollar 90 coined.
They demand moro. They demand tina
avery silver dollar coined hitherto or here
Alter shall be the equal Of the present solt
Sollar. our present unit Of value. WEIGHING
Us-10 troy grains ofstandard gold. and no,
one cent. not one mill less worth than tina,
gold dollar.
President Harrison. by the profusion Of hi,
pledges. admits that tbs silver dollar is no,
now equal to the gold dollar. That 10 true
HISS, That has been true since 1873, when
nee blmetallic coinage. the free coinage Of
both metals into the same monetary unit in
one competent national mint. ceased.
President Harrison proposes no plan foy
making the silver dollar equal to the gold dol.
hr; Secretary Blaine proposes none: Secre-
tary Foster none.
No Republican leader. Convention. platform,
or press offers any plan whatever to redress
That present inequality.
DEMOCRATIC VERSUS RrruHiIcAN YYNANcn,
The Republican party. standing fast for bad
finance. upholds and applauds the Sherman
Silver law OF 1890. which perpetuates that
present inequality. every year adding over 80
millions to our present stock OF nigh 500 mil.
lions Of unexportable silver.
The Democrats OF New York and the whole
Union now stand united In denounoine the
Sherman law and demanding that every silver
dollar shall be BY every test. In tho mint. In
the melting pot. in tho market. here and
throughout the world. equal to the present
gold dollar.
Such is now the difference between the Dem.
ocratic and the Republican parties on the gold
and silver questionable honest money Ques.
tion.
The Republican party remains the seventy.
dve:cent- silver-dollar party.
The Democratic party asks to DO empowered
~
snt gold dollar and keep II so.
NEW York WILL NOT FOLLOW NEVADA
The Democrats Of New York cannot accept
the lead Of the silver State Senators Free
silver coinage would satisfy them. But free
bimetallio coinage is the one thing needful.
Colorado and Nevada may be content to pass
over from our present gold monometallism to
the silver monometallism which shermsn's
Silver act assuredly entails. but the Demo-
Gratis OF New York In their platform condemn
the shifting from one monometsllism to the
other monometallism: we firmly mark the in
sufacency Of either gold monometallism or
silver monometalism: we firmly pronounce
for that which is better than the free coinage
Of either metal singly: wo pronounce for the
free coinage Of both; We pronounce for the
free coinage OF gold coupled with the free
coinage Of silvor: wo denounce the Sherman
law as false pretence and artful hindrance Of
return to free bimetallic coinage.
THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS
GREAT WORK.
The action OF the Democrats OF New York at
their Saratoga Convention Is. in my humble
judgment. the most pregnant the most mo-
mentous. the most far-reachinR action which
