The Money Conference

Silver State.
Rothschild's plan of permanently
establishing the gold standard and
continuing silver as a commodity is
about to be adopted by the monetary
conference. The plan in substance
and effect is to form an international
syndicate of goIdbug bankers to buy
silver bullion at such price as the
syndicate may see fit to give; the
United States to continue its pur-
chase Of 100000 ounces, payable in
gold if necessary the government to
issue its bonds bearing interest and
sell their bonds to the Rothschilds
and other hOarders of gold for funds
to pay tor the silver bullion. If this
scheme is adopted it effectually de-
feats free coinage and leaves the
value of silver bullion to be con-
trolled by the money rings. The
price of silver Will fuctuate from 40
to 80 or 80 cents an ounce-as it
may be determined by the syndicates.
The press dispatches say that the
American representatives are salts
fed with this plan. This is not to be
wondered at, as the conference was
called by Harrison at the suggestion
of the Rothschilds to permanently
degrade silver, and the five American
representatives were appointed to
carry out this project. They will
obey the Presidents instructions and
erect as strong barrier as possible
in this conference against free com
age. But the fact remains that the
conference and all the powers of Eu-
rope cannot bind the American peo-
Pile. The people are aroused and
will not rest until Congress shall re-
establish the monetary system as it
was before 1873. The restoration of
silver as money is the only vital po-
litical question before the American
people. This nation IS big enough
and strong enough to adopt and
maintain It's own financial policy in
dependent Of any or all other nations
combined. And the people propose
to and will adopt the free coinage of
silver and gold at the present ratio
and maintain it. If any other coun-
try does not like our way of doing
business it need not trade with us.
We will adopt our own financial
policy and shut off all immigration
from any gold standard nation, and
put a prohibitory tariff upon all of its
products. We can force all Europe
to adopt the double standard or
starve them to death in two years.
The crime sought to be perpetrated
by Harrison's conference will so
arouse the people that no party or
combination of the money power can
stay the popular upheaval. The
friends of silver must not halt for an
instant in pressing the fight. The
plutocracy of the world are combined
against them. The present admins
tration Is in alliance with the enemy.
The incoming administration will be
tied hand and foot by Wall street
and the gold rings. Nothing on
earth will cut Cleveland loose from
the gold syndicates and money trusts
but the threatened wrath of the peo-
pie. There must be united demand
made by the friends of silver on the
present Congress and the next if we
fail in this. The silver sentimen of
the country must be organized wher-
ever 1t exists. The Silver party of
this State should hold State con-
vention in few weeks with a view
of cooperating with other States in
the organization of the Western sill
YER league, to embrace all the States
west of the Missouri river, and in
encouraging other similar erganiza-
tons in other sections of the union.
