IN FAVOR OF SILVER.
Two Great Speeches ON the
White Metal.
David Holmes Says That There Has
Been Change in English
Sentiment.

DENVER, Colo, Dec 1.-Two noted
speeches on bimetallIsm were delivered at
the banquet of the Denver Manufacturers
Exchange tonight. David Holmes OF
Burnley, England. chairman of the par
liamentary committee of the Trades
Union Congress of the United Kingdom,
representing 1850, 900 wage-sarners. speak
ing to the toast "Blmetallism and Wage
Earners." said: Thinking men account
for the present trade depression by the
appreciation of gold and the consequent
demonstration of silver in 1873 ana since.
If silver is restored to its former position
1t will revive trade and commerce the
world over. Public opinion in England
has recently grown rapidly on the ubject
and textile workers and others ara CO.
operating with the Bimetallic League.
The recent experiment of the British Gov
eminent with the financial and currency
question in India is fiat failure, and the
Indian Government is at its wits end to
raise necessary revenue. Bimetallism will
be an i'm porrant factor at the next British
general election in 1895. and will be test
on the question in Lancashire and other
constituencies for parliamentary candi-
dates"
Hon. Wharton Barker of Philadelphia,
speaking on "Bimetalism and Manufac-
tures," said: 'The professors of political
science in Great Britain. men in the front
rank in Europe and America, favor BIZ
me,allism. The opposition comes from
money-lenders. The decentralization of
silver has contracted the worlds money
almost one-half and appreciated gold to
the great advantage of the creditor class
and the damage and ruin of the debtor
class. The proposed plan of bank cur
rency set forth in President Cleveland's
message should be opposed by every cit-
zen who has the welfare of the people at
heart Bimetallism must be restored by
independent action by America. aud can
be whenever the people are determined to
have financial as we'll as industrial indie
pendence: TO abandon British gold mono
metallism as they have done British free
trade; whenever they know the difference
between an American policy aud an alien
policy"
He suggested that America admit silver
from American mines to coinage upon pay
ment of seigniorage absorbing three
fourths of the differences bstween the
London price and trade value, and that
foreign silver be admitted tor coinage at
a seigniorage absorbing all the difference
between the London price and coinage
value.
"The road to American prosperity" be
said. sis bimetallism and protection. A
true protective system will pro tect Ameri-
can labor, extend American commerce and
at the same time preclude trusts, comb
nations and monopoles."
The morning call., 1894-12-12

present system remained. Wbie was
again questioned after the recess. Ellis of
Kentucky asked him III national banks
would consent to become guaranteers for
the notes of all the banks. He said at the
outset he doubted whether national banks
would adopt this plan. but that they
would ultimately accepr it.
Homer of Baltimore then addressed the
committee on the Baltimore plan. He
spoke of the requisite that bank note be
secure. The proposed plan undertook TO
provide this requisite without the neces-
sity of a Government bond. Uniformity
was another requisite of safe banking. 1t
was also secured by the proposed plan, so
that the system would be truly national.
uniform in all the States, in stead of vary
ing in each of the forty four States. He
urged that the con 6dence and safety of
the note-holder was best secured by Gov
eminent redemption. The Baltimore plan
gave this authority for redemption to the
Government and secured the Government
against loss by guaranty fund and nu-
merous safeguards. The Government
would not be called on to meet the losses
of failed banks, except so far as the guar
anty fund permitted. II would be hard
ship under the treasury plan 10 require
bank TO advance 80 per cent and then to
guarantee the redemption of their notes.
1t was too much TO ask of one national
bank to become responsible for all other
banks in which it had no direct concern.
Walker of Massachusetts asserted that
the scheme" presented by Homer in be-
half of the national banks carried confu-
sion TO the present confused condition.
Walkers questions took a wide range.
during which he joined issue with Homer
on the merits of many features of the Bal
timore plan. The committee adjourned
until tO-morrow

post may withdraw them and substitute
