The Chairman of the Womens Silver meeting,
Salt Lake city, Utah:
You cheer us with hope by the interest you
are expressing in our mutual misfortune Our
united appeal to congress for remedy seems
our only resort. for their non-recognition is the
source of our present trouble. The long winter

calling of mass meeting Of the women OF Utah

present crisis in money matters.

demanding that silver shall be restored to its
former place with gold II is said that the

they are always right.
You may depend upon the women OF Ogden

DIR. ELLEN GAGE
then addressed the meeting. Said we of
the west were told that gold standard,
free wool, free lead, etc., was good for
us, in fact free everything except free
money and free silver. We have been
told that we are a set of silver fanatics,
but we are $500, 600 strong. We pay mil
lions to the east every year for the goods
we import. We pay vast sums as interest
on eastern capital. These men in the east
say they are our brothers. l believe In
the potentlallty of good in the average
man and Congress is but an organization
of average men-sometimes very average
and l believe they who hold our
destinies in their hands will do what is
right, and we shall win because our
cause is right. Unfortunately the average
congressman knows no more about the
west than he does about Africa, nay not
so much, because Africa is fad at present
and the west is not. But in self preserva-
ton they will be obliged to grant our de-
mands because with US they stand or fall
themselves. (Uproarous applause).
MRS. PADDOCK
said silver was the cleanest and best
money on earth. We mothers have a
right to protest against the legislation
which takes the bread from the mouths of
our children, and to those who forced
this Ubiquitous legislation | cay it were
better that millstones were hanged about
their necks and they cast into the sea if
they succeed in destroying silver. But
don't believe they will. It will bring
ruin to one-half of the country, but
when ruin comes to US, it will come to
those of the other half as well. We go
abreast to prosperity or II n. They of
the east think that it cos.s nothing to
produce silver, that it is found laying
on the ground waiting to be picked up
and shipped to the mint, they have no
idea OF the toll Of the miners and what it
costs to produce silver. It is the toiIing
miners who have braved all the perus Of
the wilderness that are now to be struck
down, but they are very hard to
AN ORIGINAL POEM.
An original poem, 1.-THE Silver Bell, -
read by Miss Austin, was received with
rapturous applause.
MRS. ALLEN
OF Park city, daughter of Senator Ferry,
said the anxiety consequent on the de-
preston OF silver falls heavily on women
The needs of all the mining districts are
the same. Thousands have in
vested their all IN mining stock, which
hitherto has produced dividends, but now
are cut OF. These, some of them
widows and orphans, reside in the east
and they are feeling the effects of the
depression in the west. One lady living
In Massachusetts, who invested her all in
the DAILY mine writes, ''Whatever shall /
90 now the dividends have stopped?''
There are stockholders in Park CITY mines
in every state in the union, in England
and II France, but OF all the mines in the
park only two, the Ontario and DAILY
alone pay dividends. A poor result for al
the capital invested. Again the average
working life of a silver miner is but seven
years. 1t is mistake To say the miners
and mine owners are those who make
large sums. The life of the miner is 6
hard one and the so-called high remuner.
ations are myth. Mrs. Allen speech
was one OF the best of the evening.
MRS. ISABELLA coE,
pioneer, said she was fully in sympathy
with the movement for the free coinage
of silver; thought such step was Deces
