Call for n Meeting Mt Chicago August 1.
Gen. Warmers Statement.
Wa smNGToN, July B. - President
Warner Of the timetable league has
issued the call for the meeting of the
league Mt Chicago August 1. The idea
of the silver people is to meet at Chi
cago and adjourn to Washington. Here
the convention will reassemble at about
the timo when congress convenes and
will probably continue In session until
after the organization of that body.
Gen. Warner made the following state
ment:
"a thorough poll of the silver forces
establishes the fact that the sherman
law cannot be repealed without sub
stitute which will be satisfactory to
the silverites. This canvass of strength
has been in progress since the day after
the issuance of the presidents procla-
nation 1t has been pushed actively by
means OF personal consultation, mail
and Geographic communication. When
the canvass was begun the first effect
of the anti-silvcr blow was felt, and
there was a manifest fear on the part
of the silver men that the sherman law
z ave way to hope, and in turn this has
been supplantcd by defiance"
The following Is Gen. Warmers CALI:
The recent elimination OF events Of the great
est moment to the people Of this country calls
for wise counsel and determined action on the
part OF all patriotic citizens con.
eerted purpose Is manifest 10 seize upon the
present opportunity 10 destroy silver as
money and to establish finally and forever the
single gold standard, and at one stroke to
change oil debts to gold debts, with q never
ending rise OF gold and fall OF prices A hnan-
oial disturbance, largely artificial and needless
has been created as an object lesson, and falsely
attributed 10 the present silver law In order out
OF IL TO create q NANTES tatiun OF public sentl.
ment under cover OF which the greater crime
OF overthrowlng the money OF the constitution
and establishing the single gold standard may
be consummated. As part of the same great
conspiracy, tho mints OF India have been
closed and the shock Is felt around the world
Congress ~ been called TO meet In extra ses.
sion August Z, II at this session the money
