CAMERoN's LETTER.
Cameron.s letter is as follows:

UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON,
June 12,-My Dear Sir: Your invita-
tion comes at a moment when congress
requires the attention of its members.
l should be glad to [accept it, for we
have entered a troubled time. This is
not moment for stimulating bitter
ness or infaming passions. We need
all our powers of forbearance and self
control. Let US give credit to our OPP
ponents at least for good intentions,
even though they give no credit to US.
All Europe and all America are in
trouble. Everyone admits that the
world stands on the edge of revolu-
tion, social and political, but everyone
shrinks from it. Neither the north or
the south, the east or the west, neither
the capitalist nor laborer wants to
create caste, or classes, or to spread
misery, oppression or violence. We all
see the danger before us. We all want
to avoid it. Our only dispute is about
the path.
Those of US who had chiefly in mind
the struggle between silver and gold,
lelieve this is the question which for
the moment presses the hardest. The
single gold standard seems to us to be
working ruin and violence that nothing
can stand. If its influence is continued
for the future at the rate of its action
during the 20 years since the gold
standard has taken possession of the
world, some generation, notfar remote,
will see the broad continent of America
only half a dozen over-grown cities,
keeping guard over the mass of capital
and lending it out to a population of

menting upon the decrease of emigra-
ton to the United States, thinks the
decrease is less due to the exclusion
laws than to the fact that the west has
had it's day, and emigration is now turn
ing toward Africa. Inc omnipotence
of capital in the United States has
grown almost into intolerable tyranny
and has driven the farmer and the
workman to the wall

PULLMAN CARS ARE IDLE.
The A. II. U. Practically Blocks Passenger
Traffic on Many Roads


CHICAGO, June 27.-On the Illinois
Central in South Chicago traffic is
blocked.
The operators in the tower at seventy
first street left their posts and thei
places could not be supplied readily.
The through trains passed Grand
Crossing and Pullman without inter-
ference. None carried Pullman cars.
At the Fordham yards the switchmen,
switch tenders and yard employees
joined the strikers, tying up the yards.
When the west-bound freight train
on the Michigan Central reached Burn
side the switches were found set.
Trainmen were ordered from the city
offices to turn the rails and bring in the
freight.
The strike has precipitated a fuel
famine. There is not a pound of coal
at any of the docks and business on the
river is at standstill.
When the engineer of the Kansas City
train pulled into the depot be was told
to take his train back to the yards by
Superintendent Kelly. He refused and
left the cab. Superintendent Kelly
took the train down to the yard himself.
The plan to secure aid from other or
CARNATIONS assumed definite shape to-
day and a conference was held by Grand
Master Workman Sovereign of the
knights of Labor, President Debs of
the A. r. U. and Secretary Arnold of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers.
The switchmen in the yards of the
Wisconsin Central have struck. In the
freight yards long line of cars, laden
with perishable freight, is standing and
canLot be moved this afternoon. One
thousand employees of the Illinois Cen
trail in the Burnside shops walked oct
and took the train for the city.

Six Thousand Visitors Assembled
at Denver.
DELEGATES ADVOCATE SILVER
Senator Cameron Sends "a Letter of Re-
greet for Not Being Able to Attend
which Was Wen Received.

DENVER, Colo, June Outstanding
room was at premium in the spacious
Broadway theater when the National
Republican league convened yesterday.
The number of visitors in the city is
estimated at 5000, of whom about one,
third are delegates.
At the back of the stage, between
the portraits of Lincoln and Grant,
was an immense representation of a
silver dollar.
Delegates began assembling at 10
o'clock, but owing to the confusion in
the seating of the delegates, proceedings
were not begun till 112O. Rev. DIR.
Kerr B. Upper oficiated the opening
prayer, then F. c. GoudY, president of
the state league, welcomed the dele
gates in long speech. He savagely
attacked Governor Waite and the popu-
list party and promised that Colorado
would be redeemed by the next cleo
ton.
President Tracey then delivered his
address.
The response to Goudy's address of
welcome was made by William Mason
of New York. His words were we'll
chosen and highly appreciated.
The roll call, which followed i'm
mediately after the presidents address,
showed 40 states and territories repre-
scented, the largest number in the his
tory of the organization. Iowa report
ed 81 delegates, Kansas 81, Minnesota
Al, Mississippi so, Wyoming so dele
gates and 60 visitors. When Oregon
was called the chairman answered:
Here with 10000 majority"
In the afternoon the doors were
thrown open to the public after the
delegates had been seated, and great
crowd poured in, filling all seats. The
venerable Henry B. Blackwell offered
woman suffrage clause which was re-
ferred to the committee on resolutions.
Blackwell was called to the platform
and made short address. Resolutions
for unlimited coinage of gold and silver
to be unlimited legal tenedr; and for
the admission of New Mexico to state
hood were introduced and referred.
Ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico
presented the following: "Resolved,
that the National Republican League is
in favor of a Pan-American conference
of all nations of the western hemisphere
TO agree upon bimetallic monetary
system, which will bring renewed pros
perity to the world and arrest the
present constant increase in the value
of money under devised single stan
dard which is crushing the life out of
all the people except the bondholders
of England"
