J. B. BelJord:-"We haven't had
an honest ruler in the White House
in twenty years We haven't had a
president who has not violated his
oath of Office again and again. John
Sherman's demand for specie payment
led to the establishment of the silver
commission. We passed law, under
leadership of John Sherman, to refund
our national debt The act under
which the 81, 10000 in bonds were
sold passed under his guidance and it
said the bonds should be paid in law
full money. Nothing but gold has
been paid on that debt Not a silver
dollar has been paid out. 1t is idle to
say we are engaged in a revolutionary
struggle when we simply demand that
the government obey the law. The
silver question is the pre-eminent
question before the people to-day be-
cause it comprises all the other ques-
tions. / am in favor of establishing
in this state silver party pure and
simple. Settle one question at time
and those that follow will be easier of
solution. We
had three departments of govern
ment, legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive. We have two departments
now, executive and judiciary. Mr..
Cleveland has debauched the lcgislat-
i've and threatened it until he controls
it. Iwish to God could be in con-
gress only long enough to prefer against

c. S. Thomas:-''What is this
crisis? 1t is stagnation of industry,
a paralysis of business and bank
ruptcy of general affairs. The mining,
the agricultural, and almost, if not
quite, all the industries of the eoun-
try, are on the Verge of ruin, and all
is In the.interest of creditor combi-
nation which loaned us its money in
one kind and demands payment in an
other. 1t is crisis which is the cul-
mination of events which have been
slowly but surely making themselves
known for the past twenty years, ever
actively but as ever quietly and noise
lessly gathering until to-day it has
burst upon US, and as We stand here in
the center of this great continent and
look to the east and to the west We find
but one commodity for which all for
ever are toiling and striving, and that
commodity is money. We have met
here to protest, and to more than pro-
test, if such thing is possible, against
the condition of affairs which has
wrought and is wreaki ing SO much mis-
cry"

SsAlr AT THE SILVER coNvEN-
TON.

Governor Waite:-''Legislation not
positive, but negative, refusing free
coinage of silver has increased the ra-
ito of its value as bullion compared
with gold from 16 to to 22i to l; 1t
has diminished the value of silver bull
lion. and has also diminished in al
most the same exact proportion, the
value of wheat, corn, cotton and all
other staple products and the wages OF
labor. And now it is proposed by the
false, treacherous friends of silver and
the allies of Wall street to adopt this
new ratio of 22i or 24 to l, as the new
basis OF the free coinage of silver.
Such compromise will simply erys-
tallize all the wrongs and injuries
which the money power has inflicted
upon the people for the past twenty
years 1t will declare these robberies
condoned, and deprive ourselves OF
any redress or remedy in the future.
