Few Present at Yesterdays Meeting,
hut a Good Deal of Talk.

J The Peoples Free Thought Exchange
held a meeting yesterday in the Blavatsky
| Lodge. No. 2. on F street. There were but
| thirteen people present, but they managed
| to divide up the time and subjects so well
| that they talked from 3 o'clock to Z, the
hour at which their lease of the rooms ex-
pired.
The meeting was opened by Mr.. Gustave
| Augerstein. who stated that he had adver
| tised the meeting in the daily papers in
| hopes that some of the Senators and Con-
gressmen would attend and exchange views
on the topic which had been selected. that
edy."
Pretty much everybody was given a
chance to vent his opinions and then they
passed resolution demanding the election
Of some person who is not member ,na s or
| the House Of Representatives TO the POSI-
| ton of Speaker of that body.
There was another resolution presented
whose duty it should be to secure a meet
| ing place in some public park or building
| where We will not have to pay rent TO
some landlord for .he privilege or agitating
| public questions, but should said commit
| tee find it impossible to carry out its In
shere Win sSf f 70 fem ths
| body of citizens"
Mr.. James seldom Cowdon offered a res
olution, which was also unanimously adopt.
| ed, setting forth that the Secretary Of
/ the Treasury has ample power under the
act of March 3, 1881. to call all of the out
/ United States for immediate redemption,
and Congress has power to coin the de-
! claratory, not promssory, full, not partial.
| legal tender money of this republic, in vari-
Gus denominations. on sheets of aluminium
or silk threaded paper, the people may
prefer and then cover it into the treasury
for the purpose of paying the debts
of the United States" and $500 100000 Of
said money can be prepared in four months
to pay said bonds. therefore, I'VE do hereby
demand the immediate calling and redemp-
ton OF all OF the said outstanding interest
bearing bonds of the United States, thus
leaving the national banks free to go out
OF business or to reorganiZe under the laws
of their respective states"

One Plan for Solving the Problem.

One Plan for Solving the Problem.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Permit an old soldier with twenty years
experience in mines and mining, and who
has visited every mining state and terri
tory OF our country. to suggest a solution
Of the silver problem. which, he thinks
will allay the fructifying disquietude in
this democratic administration, and. II So,
entitle him to another brevet from a demo-
cratic Congress.
And my plan is so simple and complete
the wonder will be that 1t has not been
adopted long ago. Listen:
III the Congress and the President will
create law authorizing the owners Of do
nestle silver bullion to take II to our mints
ana have II made into Octagonal or circular
pieces OF l ounce. l-2 ounce. IA ounce and
10 ounce or pure silver, paying seigniorage
for the same. the dark. lowering democrat
1c clouds will disappear and the glorious
rainbow OF success. peace and plenty will
thrice blessed"
l suggest our mints to insure absolute
honesty OF weight and purity of metal.
BY this process you can not only utilize
our entire domestic silver output and all
the silver In our treasury, but actually create
currency that will be accepted and used
all over our country, particularly in our
mining and western states, and which will
our d1 az vs s Just as
True, You thus make a commodity OF sill
yer, but is not this what the monometalists
OF the eastern states desire? And as long
as the silver producer can at once convert
his silver into gold or United States notes.
and can purchase with 1t. in very conve-
nient shape for handling and transporta-
ton. the necessities and luxuries of life
1t is virtually money. IL it is a COMMODITY
Again: In thus utilizing our domestic
silver you give our country what / think
II so much needS-more money to meet the
requirements of it's ever increasing popula-
ton and business. Trade will at once
adapt itself to the daily fluctuations in the
price of pure silver. just as 1T did twenty
hve years ago in the market (gold) value
Of "greenbacks." And SO long as silver
fiuctuates In value. you cannot establish a
standard parity or ratio in gold end sill
yer coin. My plan does away with this. as
the silver pieces in ounces are not coins Of
fixed values.
The repeal of the purchasing section in
the so-called Sherman law will. in my
Judgment. make matters worse In the sill
yer centers. The following extract is from
letter Of an experienced mining engineer
in Denver. Col. dated July 29:
We are having the most serious times
here imaginable: No money, no credit no
tsilver) mining. no business; distrust, dis
tress, disaster. despair"
1 believe. Mr.. Editor, my plan, II put in
to execution, will remedy this deplorable
state of AFFAIRS and relieve the financial
distress of our country
