oeAr pressure upon their representative
for the appointment of delegates ~ an
international conference with power to
net and insist upon an agreement and OBJ
legation from the nations participating
to maintain the ratio rs there adopted.
Finally the great work OF the Repub-
lican party is a promotion and enlarge
ment of our industries through protection
and the extension OF our foreign trade
through reciprocity, the establishment OF
a bimetallic standard OF money through
international agreement in which silver
SHALL be more fully recognized, the re-
vival of our merchant marine and the
creation OF system of irrigation Tor the
reclamation of arid lands. Having given
our attention to the questions OF the day
let the voice OF this convention bd OF no
uncertain tone. Let it go with vim and
spirit of Americanism as taught by James
G. Blaine. Let your platform be wide
enough, broad enough and strong enough
to cover the whole country, and meet
the approval of the whole people.
The Republican party knows no cast.
no west, no north or south, but one vast
empire: the party of all parties which
best represents the intelligence and pa
triotism of the American people is the
party of Lincoln, Grant and Garfield. OF
Blaine and Logan. Let all of us who love
our country and party and who believe
pride IN party is pride in country go
forth under the banner inscribed with
the grand achievements of the G. o. p.
and then, inspired by the. glory OF the
past AID the hope OF the future, the
representatives OF the Republican National
League will continue to lead the lnylnci-
bic hosts of patriotism.

While it is claimed that this committee
has a majority against the unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio OF IT. to l,
yet the silver men say they are satisfied
with subcommittee, and they have such
a large number of their men on the com
mittee that there cannot be any positive
declaration against free coinage without
such minority report as to give them
fair chance in the fight on the two re-
ports in the convention.
In the afternoon many OF the delegates
and visitors went to Forest City park to
attend a big league picnic, where several
prominent men made speeches. Others
visited various points of interest in the
city.
z Colonel Trumbo of Salt Lake City pre-
sented the following memorial with the
resolution of the silver men:
We are not here as western men nor as
the representatives OF silver producing
states. We come before you as citizens
of common country, no part OF which
can be artlfically built up without injury
to the balance. In demanding the inser-
tion of resolution which recognizes the
necessity OF the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver at a ratio OF 10 to l, you
must believe that our motives are pa
triotic rather than selfish.
Time and place do not afford oppor-
tunity for extensive discussion OF this
subject but the certain fact may be stated
without fear of contradiction that under
the monetary" system as now ex
has not prospered. despite The patriotic
efforts of those who believe in the Amer
lean principle OF protection. Since the
decentralization of silver the land has
been a prey to ever-growing distress and
the woru tramp" instead OF signifying
an isolated case of individuals TO whom
work is offered, but who are unwilling
to sustain the burden of existence, placed
upon them by the Creator, has come to
represent vast army OF native born
American citizens who are anxious to
work. but are unable to secure employ
ment.
= We may attempt to attract attention to
various other causes, but the claim of
bimetallists that the curtailing OF the
coin money OF our nation has brought on
the distress which no legislation has
succeeded in thwarting will not do when
the citizens of the east-of the great state
of Ohio-have vastly greater interests in
this question than the handful of silver
minions OF the west, and as the west
has ever been loyal to the Republican
party and Utah, too-the one lone star
which so long withheld its approval of
Republican principles-has Joined the
great ranks of progress. we feel that the
claim of the people OF this section who
have given such thought as want and
poverty force upon the minds of all men,
is entitled to serious hearing, that the
belief may be reached that there are no
selfish motives behind the demand that
silver shall be restored to its place as
primary money.
The experience of centuries vindicatcs
the charge that the decentralization of
silver has wrought havoc in all nations
turning to the gold standard. and the
claim that we favor sound money does
not lessen the burden of life. nor convince
those who toll from early morning till
