THE SILVER MEETING.
All Political Parties Acting In
HarInnnv


House by the Chairman of the Coun-
ty Silver Central Committee, who
stated that the movement was not
partisan proposition, but one effort
to voice the sentiments of the West
on the subject of silver.
There had been a meeting of the
Silver Central Committee in the af-
ternoon and they had selected the
Hon. III. F. Bartins as Chairman of
the meeting.
The gentleman's name was greeted
with loud applause as he took the
chair.
The following set of resolutinns
was read by the Secretary of the
Central Committee, and adopted
unanimously.
During the past few months
money panic has caused extraordin-
airy distress throughout the United
States, by reason of which hundreds
of banking institutions and mercan-
tile houses have become wrecks.
While these grave financial dlstur-
Dances have involved thousands in
misery and ruin, we believe that
the object lessons, severe though
they are, will result in ultimate
benefit to the people of the United
States, insomuch as they will teach
the masses of voters-who have been
willfully and wickedly kept in ig-
norance of the money question
that the real cause of this widespread
distress in the contraction OF currency
in inverse ratio to the development
of the country.
The demonstration of silver has
lowered the price of nearly every
thing produced in the United States
for export, thereby enabling the
purchasers of the Old World to
saoure immense benefits at the ex-
pc. Sc of the producers of America.
\ is instanced in the case of cotton,
50 eat, and other staple articles.
This hardship has extended be
yond the producers to other labonng
classes and resulted in destitutIoa and
poverty heretofore unknown in Ar4-
erica.
We charge John Sherman, Sen
, ator of the United States, with the
, infamous crime of demonetizing sill
yer in the interests of foreign money
lenders and bartering away the
: prosperity of whole nation to en-
, rich few bond holders in New
York and London.
[ We believe the free coinags of silver
} and gold in a ratio of 16 to l to be the
, only possible remedy for the finan-
!. cial Ills which aff1ict the country.
, 1t is better to fight this issue
; to the finish than to starve, and
} while the situation today is a more
} serious menace to tho interests OF
the country than were the causes
which led to the Revolutionary up
rising of our forefathers in 1776, we
3 hope to reach the desired result by the
more peaceful path of Congressional
5 legislation.
Resolved, That we join with Colo
) RADIO, Utah, Arizona, and our sister
) States of the West in fighting for our
) rights, making no halt in the battle
I against robbery and extortion until
3 our cause, which is the common cause
3 of the country is won.
3 Resolved, That we, the voters of
? Ormsby county, are unalterably OPP
? posed to the repeal Of the Sherman
? Purchase Act until after the passage
Of free coinage bill in a ratio of 16
] to l.
Resolved, That we tender our
} thanks to our Senators and Repre-
] sentatives in Congress for their ser
: vices to the State in behalf of the
? silver interest
