PHELPS ON SILVER.
A Colorado Mar Addresses a Mass
Meeting on the Subject.
He Denouuces the Decentralization of
the Dollar as Crime, and Pays
His Respects to Cleveland.

Last evening o. A. Phelps of Colorado
addressed mass meeting at the corner of
Fourth and X streets, which was composed
Of about 400 people. and his subject was
the silver question.
He proposed to treat the subject calmly
and dispassionately, and simply state
facts which were matters of history.
He commenced by giving the history of
the demonetiza.ioG of the silver dollar in
1873, quoting the Congressional Record to
show that Hooper OF Massachusetts
moved to pass the bill without reading,
giving as an excuse its extreme length
and stating in reply to question by Hol-
man that it did not in any way change
the law on coinage. Then he quoted from
the bill, showing that it made the trade
dollar and smaller coins the only silver
coins that could be made and leaving out
the unit OF standard value the silver dol
lar of Az grains. This he denounced as
the greatest crime OF the age, and said that
General Grant, a short time before his
death, stated that he did not, know when
he signed the bill that it denonetized the
dollar, and no Congressman could be
found who would own that he knew it at
the time it was passed.
He proceeded TO say that the opponents
OF silver said the parity Of the two metals
could not be maintained. This he denied,
saying that the ratio of IS to | was too
large and was not justified by the relative
amounts OF the Two metals in use through
the world.
The reason, he said, that silver was
coined so little in this country from 1873
on, was that India, coming her silver at
d less ratio, rendered our silver too valua-
bic to be SO coined and it was sold as
bullion and coined over there.
France, a bimeJallist nation, he stated,
had to gather up her gold and silver to
pay her war debt to Germany, and the
people gave them up willingly and took
paper IN exchange, and the nation arose
from the fragments OF the empire united
republic.
To day, said he, France, a member of
the Latin Union, has no difficulty in
maintaining the parity of both metals,
which she uses by paying out fifteen and
half times as much silver as she does
gold. The Latin Union has always
maintained that parity also.
The speaker bitterly denounced Cleve-
land, and said that in Jackson's DAYS the
President who should have deliberately
trampled on the laws Of Congress as
Cleveland has on the GeGry bill and the
Sherman bill, would have been inl-
peached.
The audience was evidently strongly
in sympathy with the speaker and ire
quenty applauded him.

DR.. G. G. TyrrelI, the experienced phv-
sician-who, by the way, is one OF the
"charlatans" referred to in an anony-
nous circular that is being thrown about
by opponents Of pure water-a few days
ago sent some of the subterranean water
obtained east of the city to Professor
ONeill, Professor of Chemistry at the
State University, and assistant to Pro-
fessor Rising, the State Analyst, to be
analyzed.
Yesterday Tyrrell the 'charlatan'') re-
ceived letter from Professor O'Neil, in
which he says:
''From chemical standpoint, the water
is very pure drinking water. The total
solid residue is low, being only about
twelve grains to the gallon and only
about nine grains after ignition.
"Albumenoid ammonia, chlorine and
oXidizable organic matter are all extra
ordinarily low. These three constituents
are supposed to measure the amount of
organic contamination, and their absence
shows the water to be free from such con-
tamination.
Il have made great number of water
analyses at various times including those
for your city in 1888, which you sent to
Professor Rising, also for Oakland, Ala
media, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and many
other towns where there were questions
similar TO yours now pending, but the
sample yOu hare Just sent me Is, from d
chemical standpoint. superior to am I
