the Sherman Act, provided the latter will
combine to prevent any tariff legislation.
As over half of the manufacturers who
signed the paper are Republicans, and
this community has favored repeal, this
new movement has created sensation IN
business circles. The circular contains
/ these three propositions to the silver
Senators:
l. That the United States shall admit
silver bullion from American mines to
coinage in its mints upon the payment
by the owner of seigniorage absorbing
three-fourths of the difference between
the market Iondon) price of bullion and
its value when coined.
2 That foreign silver shall be admitted
only for coinage purposes at seigniorage
absorbing all Of the differences between
the market (London) price and its value
when coined.
3. That the United States shall invite at
once a conference OF those nations of the
world which have not committed them
selves to gold recommendation.
This would include especially the na-
tions of North and South America, Spain
and China. and in Europe, France, Rus
sia and others. These nations are as
deeply interested as we are in resisting
the attempt to increase the power of gold
through the degradation of the power of
silver, and many of them, particularly
those OF America and Eastern Asia, are
those to whom we may most easily and
advantageOusly sell the excess of our
manufacturing industries.
Such conference should exclude
England and Germany in it's makeup,
and no doubt would direct the money
policy Of the world, preserve the integ-
rIty OF bimetallism and prevent the en-
slavement of the United States and
others by the capitalist classes of the two
great creditor nations.
MORE TALK OF A COMPROMISE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-There was
more talk OF a silver compromise about
the Senate to-day than has been heard for
| week. Prominent Republican Sena-
tors were engaged the greater part of the
day in trying to get Senators TO agree to
proposition for the purchase and coinage
OF S3,0O0,O00 of silver per month for the
next three years, but were met with
many obstacles. An especial supporter
OF the President asserted that he would
accept no amendment whatever, and the
silver Senators made objection that to
place the limit OF purchase at time
within Clev Glands administration would
be simply TO postpone the blow, and it
might as we'll fall now. Senator Faulk-
ner was also engaged in canvassing his
proposition, but with no better result
than in the case of Republican Senators.
Nothing was accomplished in any direc-
ton. but the events of yesterday and to-
day caused many more Senators than
usual to assert to-day that compromise
offered the only way out of the present
entanglement.
SILVER MEN GREATLY PLEASED.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 28.-In executive
session this evening, after some debate,
Voorhees, reluctantly agreed to devote all
OF next Thursday to an executive session,
at which appointments in opposition to
the home rule plank of the Democratic
platform, against whom have been such
strenuous objections, will be considered.
This agreement pleases the silver men
immensely, as they regard it as another
point gained by them. If quorum is
present Thursday, it is probable these
appointments will be favorably acted
upon by a strictly party vote.
