PowDERLY APPEALED TO.

The Aspen. Colorado, miners ad-
dressed . long letter a few days ago to T.
v. P~owderly. General Master Work
mar Of the Knights Of Labor, asking
him to raise his voice in their behalf.
An extract from the letter says:
"Where 1900 men found employment
two months ago the mines are now
closed down and the idle men have
been brought face to face with the
problem Of how to provide for the de-
pendent ones with the common neces'
saries Of life. This condition Of affairs
is due to the dominating influences OF
. merciless plutocracy and false repre-
sensations Of the gold bugs" The LET.
ter also gives figures to show that sill
yer Is worth far more than the ruling
quotations, and concludes with On ur-
gent appeal to the labor leader to coun.
sci his great army throughout the country
to join in one solid phalanx for the rights
Of the white metal. The people are
awakening.

n PLAN.

In 1862 an agent of European capital
lists sent the following confidential"
circular to American bankers: "Slavery
is likely to be abolished by the war
power and chsttel slavery destroyed.
This, l and my European friends are in
favor of. for slavery is but the owning
of labor, and carries with it the care OF
the laborer, while the European plan,"
led on by England, is capital control Of
labor, by controlling wages. This can
be done by controlling the money. The
great debt that capitalists will see to,
made out Of the war, must be used as q
measure to control the volume OF
money. To accomplish this the bonds
must be used as a banking basis. We
are now waiting to get the Secretary Of
the Treasury to make this recommends.
ton to Congress. 1t will not do to
allow the 'greenback,' as it is called, to
circulate as money any length of time,
for we cannot control them. But we
can control the bonds and through them
the bank ISSUE"
Another confidential circular to the
bankers of this country says: "It is
advisable to do all in your power to sus-
tain such daily and weekly newspapers,
especially the agricultural and religious
press, as will oppose the issuing Of
greenback paper money, and that you
also withhold patronage or favors from
all who will oppose the Government issue
OF bonds. Let the Government issue
the coin and the banks issue the paper
money Of the county, for then we can
better protect each other. To repeal
the law creating national banks or to
restore to circulation the Government
issue of money will be to provide the
people with money and will, therefore,
seriously affect your individual profits
as bankers and lenders. See your men,
Der Of Congress at once and engage him
to support our interest that we may
control legislation" Words are made
quate to comment on the foregoing high
handed conspiracy. Matched in the hot
bed of monarchy, to be forced upon q
free people.

The Republic begs leaves to plant itself
firmly on the new sub.treasury platform
that Farmers Alliances throughout the
South and West are adopting. Here
1t is:
Resolved, That we will try to
make our sub.treasury at home, and try
to store it with corn, hay, oats, fodder.
pork, potatoes. peas, cabbage, turnips,
onions. beets, rice. parsnips, molssses,
pindars. and then il we have any time
left we will put in one or two bales Of
cotton, and we advise our brethren to do
the same. We believe that this 10 the
only way that we will ever have q sub.
treasury that will be Of any use to Us
farmers"
This lie lots better than the Ocals plan.
When q farmer has got his corn crib, his
smokehouse, his barn and his cotton
gin full, he has q sub-treasury on which
his drafts will be promptly honored. and
no 2 per cent nor 10 per cent to pay for
the accommodation st. Louis Republic.

after they may not be unjust in their
estimation Of public men. just now the
name of John G. Carlisle ought to have
q prominent place in the memorandum
book Of every Western mans brain. He
is Secretary of the Treasury. Tbs law
positively orders him, in his capacity,
to buy $500, 900 ounces Of silver .
month at the market rates. II does not
say the markets of England or the mar
kets Of Mexico or the markets OF South
America. 1t has no reference to any
market in the world but the United
States. But Mr.. Carlisle has q Mint
Director who rules that inasmuch as
the English market is a penny less for
silver than the United States market no
will violate that law, and Carlisle in
dorses his act. Mr.. Preston, the Direc-
tor, is not to blame. The blame lies
with the Secretary. Carlisle has a dream
of being President one Of these days.
The men Of the West ought to remember
him.

CHINA's AND JAPAN'S SILVER

Wharton Barker writes TO the Presi-
dent that if the United States had
sought close commercial alliances with
China, japan and South America, and
had established with them international
bimetallism, England and Germany
would have been forced to agree TO the
new standard. For . Philadelphia pro.
tectionist Mr.. Barker gets q large amount
Of truth out Of his studies on the silver
question, but when we see how the
people of India take the English at.
tack on their favorite money it will be
time to guess at whether the Orient
would really stand up to the silver
agreement. China is still independent,
but its people are hardly more capable
Of vigorous movement than the other
Buddhists in India. The United States
would do better by adopting a bimetal-
lie standard for our own people. with
reference to conditions that exist. II Ia
so easy to talk about what would fol-
low il certain things were done. China
has not the slightest idea Of coinage
values. Her people use silver by weight.
II would take too long to negotiate
with her. The use of silver dollars on
this hemisphere is an entirely fixed
item OF business and we can act upon il.

WALL STREET LIE MAILED.

iner concerning an interview with SEN

New York World on the silver ques'
ton. the following communications were

State BY telegraph:

A SOUTHERN EDITORS ADVICE.

The address and appeal sent out by
the mass meetings which have been held
by the friends Of silver throughout the
West is receiving hearty responses from
the South. The Progress. published at
Shreveport, Alabama, in reply says:
"Men of the South, harken well to this
appeal ! 1t touches you in q spot most
sacred and enduring, for it speaks Of
your homes, your firesides, your honor
and your independence. Whether it
was done from q personal motive or not
we should not question, but the truth is
the West did rally to our assistance and
was the means Of defeating that infa-
nous conception Of hell-the force bill.
Without the West we could not have
defeated it. What its passage would
have meant to Us, none but Southern
men and Southern women could know,
for with rs the very thought causes .
shudder to pass through our frames.
The West did ~ us from indignities,
insults, q prostitution of our most sacred
rights-from civil war ! For the South
had made up her mind not to submit to
its enforcement, even though it became
. law. A Southern man can afford to
die, but not to be dishonored. Colo
RADIO and Nevada assisted in preventing
this in Q legal manner, and will we now
turn a deaf ear TO their appeals for aid
to prevent desolation and starvation
among their women and children? The
Progress says MOI No Southern man
ever permitted q woman to ask for
assistance but once, when it was rem
dsred. The East has no interest in
common with the South-all she desires
10 cotton, at . deprecated price. and the
gamblers and spectators set the price to
suit themselves. In this contest the
duty Of the South is plain-it should
ally itself with the West; should cling
to the West on the silver q~uestion-on
other questions their interests are iden-
teal"

CHICAGO SILVER CONVENTION,


The Bimetallic Convention began its
preliminary work for free silver at Chi
cage on the lst inst. The meeting was
made up of representative men and
between 500 and 900 delegates were
present. The convention was called to
order by Gen. A. J. Warner Of Ohio,
who is President Of the League, and his
opening address was heartily received.
| The convention was permanently
organized by the selection Of Allen w.
Thurman, son Of Allen G.. Thurman OF
Ohio, as President, and a Vice President
was chosen from each State, the selec'
tion being made by each States delegs-
tion.
In the course Of President Thurmsn's
speech, which was quite lengthy, be
asked to present q question that
might be considered with others that
might come before the convention:
First, let our adversaries agree TO free
coinage Of silver at . ratio Of Isl or 10
TO l. I prefer the former. If they do
we will agree to the unconditional re-
peal Of the Sherman law"
Ignatius Donnelly, a delegate from
Minnesota, during the course of his re.
marks, asked all who believed that John
Sherman had done more good than harm
to hold up their hands. Not q hand
went up. He then asked for all who be.
lieved Sherman had done more harm
than war and pestilence to hold up their
hands, and nearly every hand in the hall
went up.
T. v. Powderly, Grand Master Work
man Of the Knights of Labor, ad.
dressed the convention briefly. Said Re:

In our Western States 10000 are al

to come here and say that the West Is

tie silver and drive it from the country.
Being an American, l believe we are CO.
pable Of managing our own affairs. Hon.
oring the flag and the institutions Of our
country, l believe we should be able to
manage our own country free from any
dictation from beyond the water. When
we stand here listening to Q voice from
Washington commanding vi to close our
ears, and listen only to those advocating
the gold standard, we are listening to q
voice that comes from across the seas.
Let our deliberations be calm and delib-
crate, however, for if ever there was q
time in the history Of America when
cool, calm deliberation was necessary
that hour is at hand. / have been asked
how the Knights Of Labor stand on this
question, and l reply they stand as a
unit on it, not in any section, but wher.
ever there are Knights Of Labor they
stand for free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at q ratio Of l6 to L."
The following named gentlemen were
selected o committee to drafs suitable
resolutions: Messrs. Reagan Of Texas.
Bryan Of Nebraska, Patterson Of Colo
RADIO, Bartins Of Nevada, Donnelly Of
Minnesota, Washburn of Massachusetts,
and Manning OF Alabama.
Nevada was well represented, Senator
Stewart, Congressman Bartine and Hon.
Thomas Wren beingamong the Sagebrush
statesmen now there.
So far Colorado has the strongest
delegation present. including nearly all
men Of prominence in business and politi.
cal life in the State.

rmE WALL STREET BOomERANe

Among the different tactics adopted
by Wall street and their servile tool. the
present administration, to bring about
the unconditional repeal Of the present
silver law, such as substituting q large
majority Of the influential press. or the
judicious application by the President OF
his appointing power in bribing Con-
gressmen to repudiate the pledges given
their constituents in order to assist him
in carrying out the demands OF the
money power Of Wall street this master
and creator), these money lenders and
spectators on the necessities OF the
country, in undertaking to force on this
country . stringency in finance seems to
have rather overdone themselves. Their
measure Of p~recipitatipg q financial
panic in order to force any and all who.
unfortunately, being so situated as to be
dependent upon them, into the position
Of swelling the clamor for the uncondi-
tional repeal Of the Sherman law, seems
TO have brought about the desire in q
great deal less time and far moro efec-
lively than actually desired. In fact,
while the gold bugs and the President
had no idea of calling an extra session
before September liz Of all before the
regular SESSION., in order to work all
available avenues leading to their COM
mon goal-the repeal of the Sherman
law of lS90-yet by their own actions
and the rspidity with which they accom-.
plished in less than one month what they
had thought would require three or four
months, tightening the purse-strings 30
generally as to drive q large number of
their own click and tools to the wall.
and in order to create distrust in Ameri-
can finance sent millions upon millions Of
our gold to their oonfederates in Europe.
has acted as . boomerang, killing and
manning . number Of confederates in
the conspiracy in which they are en-
gsged-the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law and to forever demone-
tie silver as . standard coin. In order
TO counteract as much as possible the
ruin they themselves had brought on,
they had to beg for q call Of an early
session to ward off the boomerang they
had sent whirling through the air
OF their enemies. only to return and
menace their own safety. So also it is
now stated in their subsidized press that
the large amount of gold sent East dur
ing the last few months is again COM
ing back to this country and the danger
line, the one hundred million gold bal
ance in the Treasury, will again be re-
covered. When, however the people
demanded an early call for Congress to
meet and settle financial and other meas.
ures. their demand, as has been the case
for years, fell on dumb ears.
