me Executive 6onuiittss q tAs hi
Metallic Lsa6as Take Action.

The Executive 6onuiitiss sf tho hi.
Metallic League Take Action.
The Executive C6mniIttsS appointed At ths
Chicago Silver eoivenuda met In wSshiAg::
ton on the 18th and Issued an appeal 70 the
People," signed by A. j. Warner, chairman,
and George Washburu, secretary. Tho tsxt
Il tho appeal follows:
"Congress has been convened 10 extra 49,
,ion and the unconditional repeal Of the pres-
snt silver law 10 urged upon It. Tho repeal
Of this law will a. once stop all increase In
the currency, place tho country on the single
gold standard, aud at one stroke change all
debtA 10 gold debts with the certainty that
gold will thereafter continue To increasc ia
value ut an Accelerated rate.
1.-THE conspiracy u force thls condition
upon the people Of this country Is supported
BY powerful interests at home and abroad,
with unlimited means to carry out their pur-
pose, which they stc determined 70 do, re-
eardlcss Of conscduchce6 u 6s6efti
"Thc country Is now Id tho throes Of = dis
aatrous panic, caused by currency famine
and the dSstfuctloA II Srsl!t, which has been
necdlcssly brought about TO force TIC tcFsdl
Of the silver law.
"Thc situation 10 altogether the most peril
ous In the history Of the country. Can any
one believe this condition can be improved BY
shutting on the money supply and still fur
Their restricting the velHms of ,surrencyt u
b time when more money And k6t lth 70
needed. II Is futile 10 suppose that credit,
already over expanded, can DO made TO take
tho place Of money. The crops arc TO DO
moved and there 10 no money to move them.
Prices Of all products arc unprsocdcntly
low and must 90 lower with the single gold
standard. Industries arr everywhere break,
lug down. Hundreds Of thousands OF wIilidg
hahds arc forced into idlcncss There 10
work, but no money TO pay for Il. Is this
condition 70 be made 70 last until tho gold
conspirators accomplish their unholy pur-
posei 1t will unless the people COME TO the
rescue. This l. The ,psYpls'a fapss and II
they would Rcct theit Swh and fetHald fec
men they must arouse and protect their rights
and their homes from the grasping hands Of
the gold conspirators who would produce
| European conditions In this country II they
could.
THE committee appulnted Al The Chicago
convention 10 fesist the HID pufBoss ID
destroy silver As money And cstabllsh the sid.
gle gold. standard. calls upon the people
everywhett u lily aside W. W. time, psrtt
differences and TO assemble at their accu-
toned places OF meeting, As our forefathers
did Of old, and pass resolutions calling upon
their Representatives and SENATORS In Congress
to resist tho repeal OF tho present silver law
unless coupled with provision restoring the
free coinage Of gold and silver As II existed
under the law prior 10 the passage Of the
fraudulent Aot Of 1874.
1--WE recommend also that at all Assem-.
blages the Resolutions and the adde's sdcrt,
ed Al the Chicago silver convention August
DO rod, aud that voters DO urged 10 send pc
titions and To write letters OF postal cards 70
their representatives aid senators, did In
this manner u earnestly cutter thcit protest
agsirs, tho oYetiatax u tic money 81 me
constitution and the enforcement upon then
Of the single gold standard. s
ut Is Is IMPORTANT now that NO free our
selves from the financial uo,nla.ticn N
Europe as It was for our fathers To free them
sclves from the political domination Of for
eign power. Let this movement he the spon.
tancous action Of free people, consciou,
that government IA yet In their hands, and
conscious, TOO, Of their rights, a4a with The
will 10 maintain them"
