rae NationaI silver Convention.

General Warner, President of the
National Bimetallic League has ar
ranged the details of the Silver Con-
vention which met ate chicago last Tues
day The Convention will be devoted
to discussion of the situation. A COM
mittee will be appointed to prepare
resolutions and an address to Congress
and the country, which it is hoped
will arouse the people to sense of the
dangers threatened by single gold
standard.
Among the speakers will be Sena-
tiers Jones and Stewart of Nevada,
Senators Teller and Wolcott of Color
ado, Congressman Newlands of New,
Bryan of Nebraska, Bland of Missouri
and Pence and Bell of Colorado. All
the Silver States will be well repres-
ented and large delegations will be
in attendance from West and South.
There will also be delegations from
New York and other Eastern States,
and General Warner feels confident
that it will be the largest and most In
fuential convention of the kind ever
held in the country.
The New York delegates have adop-
ted resolutions expressive of their
views on the silver question. They
say official statistics show that the price
of silver has controlled the prices of
most of the products of American la
Dor, and especially of wheat and cot
ton for twenty years. They assert
that the decline in the price of silver
bullion and contraction of the volume
of legal tender paper money caused a
tremendous fall in prices of wheat and
cotton; that English influence is be-
hind the efforts to put down the price
of silver, and that it is the first duty
of Congress to stu dy the effect the price
of silver has on other products Of la
Dor before determining on any fixed
policy changing It's present ratio with
gold, or before running all American
producers by withdrawing the slight
support silver now has under our laws.
The New Workers desire to know
why treasury officials are governed in
their purchases of silver here by the
price placed upon the metal in for
eign country and declare that Con-
gress should investigate the matter.

A Sad Sight.

The spectacle of the enterprising
and rich city of Denver, Colorado,
opening soup houses where two or three
thousands of people day are fed is a
remarkable one. Only few months
ago that city was held up as the model
of Western towns in its activity, push
and large business. How much of
the present depression is due to the
actual closing down of Colorado mines
and smelters, and how much due to
the ''scare" brought about by .predic-
tions of disaster in case of failure of
free coinage, no man can say. Denver
itself has no mines in it's limits or
boundaries, though center for sur
rounding camps more or less distant.
Its smelters and railroad facilities have
made it a mining center, and it is
naturally affected by the closing down
of the mines. Those out of employ
ment gravitate to the city, which is
therefore now filled with idle men.
1t is difficult problem to know how
to care for these people land it is just
now rendered still more difficult by
the failure of banks and general COM
mercial depression, by which those
who would otherwise assist are unable
to do So Working people who can
leave there are doing SO, but many
cannot from lack of means. The city
is seeing harder times than could ever
have been anticipated. Mining and

Governor Penoyer of Oregon is plain
and blunt in speech. He says what
he thinks regarding public affairs and
does not mince matters. In welcom-
ing Vice President Stevenson at Salem,
the governor said:
"No fairer land upon earth is visit
ed by the sunlight of heaven than our
own Oregon, but with all our resour-
ces many of our industries are at a
standstill and hundreds of our laboring
men are without employment and their
families without bread.
""This condition of affairs is legiti-
mate result of departure from the
financial policy of our fathers, which
was made two years ago and which
still exists. Believing this, we ap-
peal to you to use your utmost influence
to procure return to the policy of
the Government, which was so sue
cessfully followed for eighty years.
''The simple repeal of the Sherman
law, thus leaving our financial system
on gold basis, by the great political
party which elected you to the next
highest office in the gift of the people
and which has gained control of the
legislative and executive branches of
the Government, and which pledged
itself to the people in its last national
platform to secure without discrimi-
mating against either metal, the coin
age and use of both gold and silver as
the standard money of the country
would be most fragrant breach of
good faith which all honorable men
would scorn and which would justly
subject the party pertained to it to the
unmeasured contempt of the nations
and the world.
"The people of Oregon therefore
beg you to aid in carrying out the
written pledge of your party by the
restoration of the former financial pol
icy of the Government, which would
result in the return of prosperity, the
revival of industries and the employ
ment of the unemployed"
The Vice President after expressing
g ratefulness for the welcome, said:
'sIn response to the words of the dis
tinguished executive of this State
can only say that to the best of my
abilities / will endeavor to cooperate
with others who, regardless of party,
have in view the best interests of the
common people of the land"

The Chief of Police of Kansas City
went to the State line with large
force of men to meet train of three
hundred unemployed men from Col
orado, who left Denver over the Union
Pacific. This action was taken under
State law forbidding the railroad
company to bring paupers into the
State. The chief was of the opinion
that these men were tramps trading
on the misfortunes of workingmen.
When the train of five box cars reached
State line it was stopped. The in
mates, who were in rather an ugly
frame of mind, made some threats,
but resistance was hopeless in the face
of the force against them. The men
finally agreed not to stop at Kansas
City and the train was allowed to pro-
coed to the Union depot. After dis
embarking the men soon scattered,
some going east and others south.
