Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1893-11-07

The Lines Forming for the Next
Campaign.


Washington, November 4.-Popu,
list members of Congress today is
e sued an address appealing to the
people of the United States to take
! up the cause of silver. 1t is signifi-
can't that the name of Senator Jones
of Nevada appears among the sign
ers of the document.
The address asserts that the re
peal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act destroys silver as a
money of ultimate redemption and
reduces the metal to credit money, to
float only by its redemption in gold.
The 81, 100, 600, coo of paper and
silver now in circulation must rest
upon less than 500, 900 of gold in
the treasury as available for redemp-
ton.
1.-The only reason for demonetiz-
Ing silver was to enhance the value
of gold and obligations payable in
that money. 1t is further proposed
to sell United States bonds and to
buy gold to strengthen the reserves
in the treasury. National banks
will use the bonds for banking and
issue their notes, upon which the
people must pay interest, as well as
on the bonds"
1t is asserted that the Secretary of
the Treasury has surrendered his
option to pay in silver to exporters
of gold without consideration, and
then proclaimed that the Sherman
act was driving gold out of the coun-
try. The address asserts that the
Sherman act interfered with the es- |
Enlistment of a gold standard, and !
therefore New York and London
bankers and the present Admins
tration IN the United States and the
Gladstone Government of England |
conspired to force Its repeal.
Referring to the contest over the
repeal bill in the Senate, the address
says that it was continued until the
gold power and Federal Iatronage
could induce a majority of that body
to submit to executive dictatIon, The
gold press in every commercial cen
ter teemed with misrepresentation,
insult and abuse of the unpurchas-
able defenders of the people, Banks
boards Of trade and the commercial
press demanded vote without de
bate, and the power of money was
,elt on every hand.
Intimidation and threats of per
'onal violence loaded the mails of
Senator's and unusual and cruel
hours were resorted to in order to
the advocates of silver and
o deprive them of the opportunities
# spreading upon the record their
easons why the people should not
'e robbed for the benefit of money [
han gers.
The document ends with an ap-
zeal to the people to study the ques- Q
ion, and with this: "Trust no man q
Tho once betrayed you; put no faith n
4 any President who has assumed n
ictatorial power; do not be over r
wed or intimidated by Wall street a
nd the power of the national banks: X
hen the people rise in their might
Intrigue, cunning, usurpation, brib- Il
~ and corruption will vanish be- q
IRE them" n
The paper is signed by Senators 81

aker, Boon, Bell, Harris. HUI lson. W
