SIGNIFICANT RESOLUTIONS

A few days ago, while in Butte. Thomas
G. Merrill, who organized the Bimetallic
union and Is doing most OF the work OF
that body, made the statement that the
early days of 1896 would witness the or
ganization of a new political party with
a platform opposing foreign interference
in the financial policy of the United
States. Mr.. Merrilrs statement was evil
IDENTIFY based on personal knowledge OF
what was going on in that direction, but
the matter was not considered ripe for
publication. Since then, however, active
steps have been taken for the organiza-
ton of the new party through the Ameri-
can Bimetallic league, of which General
Warner is president, and the following
resolution on the subject had been re
ceived by the officers Of the Bimetallic
union:
Resolved, That we accept the invita-
ton of the national silver committee or
Chicago. and that in accordance with its
recommendation, the president Of the
American Bimetallic league be author
lied and directed to unite with the ma
tional Bimetallic union, in calling con-
ference of those who believe that the set

| business connected with the Bimetallic
union and a meeting of the executive
committee will probably be called to con-
slider the resolution of the Bimetallic
| league.
r.. c. Chambers of Salt Lake. presi-
dent of the union. who was in Butte yes
terday, is quoted as being opposed to
| having the union mixed up in any new
party movement. He said that while he
was not authorized to speak for the
| union which must act through its prop
erly constituted executive committee. yet
he says that such action as that con-
| templated in the resolution is beyond the
scope of the organization. even IL 1t were
deemed TO be desirable, since that organ
ization is non-political in its objects and
seeks only to promote the growth of the
silver sentiment among people Of all po-
litical faiths: that 1t may be set down as
certain, therefore, that the Bimetallic
meet the other organizations named for
the purpose of starting a new party.
The Bimetallic league has also adopted
| resolutions looking TO the organization of
the United States senate in the interest
of fair treatment, copies of which have
| been received by officers of the union and
have also been sent to United States
senators. The resolutions are as fol-
| lows:
"Whereas. The events of the past two
years afford indisputable evidence that
the advocates of the single gold stand
ard have acted together and doubtless
will continue to do so on the money ques-
ton. regardless of political affiliations
| therefore,
Resolved That the executive commits
tee of the American Bimetallic league re-
| quests the senators of the United States
who favor the restoration of the bimetal-
lie standard of money. to act together
regardless of political Affiliations. in the
organization of the senate of the Fifty
fourth congress to the end that a suitabls
, | committee may be appointed that vii
mature and bring before that body q bill
, for the restoration Of the money OF tn,
constitution.
Voted. That copy OF the foregoing
resolutions be forwarded to the Bimetal
lie union and the national silver commit
tee for similar action.
''yoted, That a copy of the resolution
be sent TO every United States senator
known to favor the restoration OF the fire.
