Students OF Finance Meet In
Chicago In Debate.
SAN FRANCISCO, May II. Instead OF
the great results for free coinage aimed
at, the visit to California of Gen. "A. j..
Warner, OF Ohio, head of the American
bimetallic party, and Congressman
Joseph G. Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
has apparently been productive OF
the opposite effect. The result is the
fiat secession of the state silver league
from Gen. Warmers national organiza-
ton. The executive committee was
called at Los Angeles Saturday after
noon. The entire matter was submit
ted to a subcommittee Of five to report
upon it. The following is an excerpt
of the report:
''They straddle the national bank question
by pretending to give the general govern.
ment the exclusive control over the issue
uuu SOluWo VI paper MOuOy,s WucQ5 In
truth their platform can be fully COM
piled with by leaving the issue and vol
ume of paper money wholly in the hands Of
the national banks They attempt to lead the
people into the belief that they, who are urging
Mr.. Sibley for the presidency, are opposed to
| government partnership with national banking
institutions that control the circulating medt-
| ums ut the pleasure of their foreign stock
! holders"
The committee. therefore, recon.
mended the adoption of some plainly
worded resolutions condemning Gen.
Warner and Mr.. Sibley, appealing to
sister states to organize like the
California league and to protect
against the caucus method, aud calling
for a national convention of state
leagues to meet at st. Louis, March l6,
1896. to nominate candidates for p1esi-
dent and vice president.

ing the motive of the convention
Gov. Richards said among other
things:
Existing conditions, rejecting the evil re-
suits OF monometallism and the misfortunes Of
the business world in every phase Of our in.
dustrial and social life. have stimulated de-
| mand on part of the masses for better
knowledge OF financial propositions that self.
interests may be respected at the polls.
The object of this conference is not to de.
wise free coinage arguments. for such argu.
ments are tndelibly written upon the progress
and prosperity OF the human race, but tt
place in the hands OF the voters these argu.
and apply.
If this mission be accomplished the victory
| IS won. With the treasures OF Europe behind
| them with the best talent money can employ
| with subsidized press manufacturing facts,
the gold bugs are still hampered by the testi
mony OF current events
bereavement to corner the gold output Of
the western region that another issue of gov.
| eminent bonds may be forced proves one Of
| the dangerous possibilities Of monometallism
| Differences Of opinion as to the value OF this
| policy or that are blended into common cause
of self-defense when the treasury Of the
United States becomes an object for specula
ton and tle credit OF the nation is marked
for plumber
In taking the chair Gov. Thompson
made an emphatic speech, in which he
declared that the great struggle from
now on into the summer of 1896 was tt
