of. They have thought and they now
realize that such thought was but n
delusion; that they performed their
duties when they went TO the primaries
or precinct conventions and voted, ana
left the selection In the county con-
ventlons OF delegates TO the State com
vention to those who cared to attend
these county conventions and go to the
State democratic meetings. He realizes
that by the lack of interest he has
manifested delegates who in many m
stances were not friendly to the coun-
~ convention Instructions nor sup
porters OF such platform as such con-
ventlon adopted. have been selected
and were the cause Of much trouble
on delegations which they had the
perrogatlve OF choosing. But II indica-
tions count for anything they have re-
manned inactive long enough and from
now on in Texas they will be found
attending State convention every
year or two. Mark my prediction. The
Fort Worth silver convention will be
conspicuous for the number OF farmers
who attended II and memorable for the
interest they manifested. The silver
question IL one which comes home to
them. They know that they constitute
the class which Is very much In need
OF redress and relief and they think
that the good times preceding 70 VIII
be with them again when the white
metal Is again placed where 1t was
anterior to that year.
But have stated that Texas demo-
Gratis will see that the State Is put In
the silver column where she rlghtful-
ly belongs. This is no threat nor could
| say that Is a prediction, for Il is too
plain even to the wayfarlng man that
democrats who honestly think and sim
cerely believe that the parity of the
two metals can be maintained at the
ratio OF 10 10 / predominant In Texas.
Everybody understood that the plat
form OF the Dallas State convention
was the work OF the wlre-puller and
the trickster. The greater portion OF
the members OF the party had no idea
that these so-called Sound money"
pleaders were concentrating their ef-
forts for a plank on the financial ques-
ton which did not then. nor does not
now, voice the true sentiment OF the
Texas democracy. The three candi-
dates for gubernatorial nomination, as
all know. had emphatically declared
from every stump without qualiiica-
tion their loyal support and unhinch-
ing belief In the free coinage OF tho
white metal In unlimited quantities
and at the ratio OF 1G TO /. These
sound money supporters, "honest
money" advocates stable money"
criers had no candidate In the field who
voiced their sentiments. nor who went
before the democrats over the State
and announced his opposition to the

is at the mercy OF those who desire
to Increase the bonded debt OF the
country. and who can at will reduce the
gold reserve for the purpose OF forcing
an issue OF bonds.
Q. Gold and silver are produced In
limited quantities. and are. therefore.
called precious metals. The govern
mcnt by creating a demand for an
article of limited production. can raise
the price of that article, and by Offer
ing a demand unlimited In proportion
to the supply can TX the bullion price
of gold and silver at the mint price.
10. International bi-metallism Is not
probable at all, and Is advocated most
by those who desiring a gold standard
do not want bi-metallism under any
circumstances.
H. A change in the ratio secured by
increasing the size OF the silver dollar
would require the recoinnge OF silver
Into larger dollars and therefore, would
result in n reduction OF the volume OF
money. IT, for instance. the ratio
should be changed from one to sixteen
to one to thirty-two by International
agreement, and silver coins should be
doubled In weight TO correspond with
the new ratio II would cause a shrink
age OF ono-hnlf of the silver money
OF the world. that Is a shrlnkage OF
one-fourth OF the local metallic money
OF this world. and thus would Increase
the burden OF debt by many billions OF
dollars and bring a great advantage
to the cGpitalistic classes.
IL. This nation is great enough 20
leglslate for It's own people on all sub
jects. and canot afford 10 surrender
Its people to the legislative control of
any other government ON earth.
Mr. Bryan read from authorities to
support his propositions, and conclud-
ed by appealing to those who live In
the cities not TO destroy their country
customers by reducing the volume OF
real money below tho amount required
to carry on business. He said that the
commercial classes exert an Influence
In politics out OF proportion, and he
urged those present to Join with the
country people in financial legislation
which would restore prosperity to the
masses, and through the masses to all
classes of society. He said 1t was with
in their power
To scatter plenty DER the smiling
land.

COMING CONVENTION,

WHITE METAL MEN ALIVE.
Present Indications Point to the
Largest Political Gathering
Ever Held in Texas.


Austin, Tex, July l3.-ln about three
more weeks and the friends OF silver
in Texas Will be in convention assembled
at Fort Worth That the indications
are that this will be one OF the most
memorable as wen as ono OF the larg-
est, political gatherings ever held In
the state. l think there is but little
doubt. The friends and supporters OF
the white metal who have gone on the
stump and never lost an opportunity In
this State to plead the peoples cause
and have re-hibiltated their money.

that the propositions which I am about
to state are fundamental propositions
and cannot be avoided by those who
are charged with the settlement of this
great question.
J. The supply of money must Increase
with the increase of population and
Industry Unless It does so the value
of each dollar will rise and the general
level of prices will fall
g. There is not gold enough now in
the world or annually produced to sup
ply the basis OF the worlds currency
upon universal gold standard and to
furnish the money necessary to keep
pace with population and industry.
3. IL the United States, the greatest
nation in the world. and the largest
producer OF silver. abandons the BIZ
metallic standard and throws its In
fiuence upon the side of gold mono
metalllsm. It will not only increase the
strain upon gold, but win tend to drive
other nations from the use of silver,
and thus hasten the day of universal
gold monometalllsm.
T. The destruction OF silver as money
and the establishing of gold ms the sole
unit OF value throughout the world
would result In the appreciation of
gold because gold would then be re-
CURED to do the work now done by
gold and silver.
8. The appreciation in the value Of
the dollar Is Of a pecuniary advantage
TO those whom Senator Sherman dA-
scrlbed as Capitalists out OF debt"
whom Mr.. Blaine described rs holders
of Investments which yield fixed re-
turn In money" and whom Secretary
Carlisle described in 1878 as "the idle
holders OF idle capital" and is an in
jury not only to the debtor class, but
10. those whom Mr. Carlisle described
in 1878 as ''the struggling masses who
produce the wealth and pay the taxes
of the country"
c. The advocacy of the gold standard
by the capitalists classes is due to the
fact that the gold standard Will be
profitable TO them and not to an un-
selfish interest In the rest of mankind.
I. The plan OF the gold standard adj
vocates includes the retirement Of the
greenbaclis and treasury notes by the
Issue of bonds and the final limitation
OF the legal tender qualities OF silver,
so that gold will be the only full legal
tender money. and other forms OF
money will be non-iegal tender prom
ises to pay gold. This will leave the
standard money of so small volume
as to be capable OF control by the
capitalist classes who will then have
the rest Of the people in their absolute
control ae
s. The United States has legal right
TO redeem gfeenbacks and treasury
notes In silver II II so desires. and un-
I'll 1t exercises that tight the treasury

national banks amounts to less than
$500. 100000 When we add to this the
amount of gold and gold certificates
held In the vaults of the private banks
1t Will leave nearly sS0O,00O,0O0 of gold
not accounted for.
In other words In order to believe
that we have in this country today
more than $500, 000, 900 OF gold we must
believe that the amount In circulation
among the people and in boarding is
nearly equal to the amount OF gold
visible gold in all the banks and in
the Federal treasury. When we re-
member how little gold is actually used
in circulation among the people 1t is
impossible to believe that the amount
of Invisible gold In the country any
where approaches SS00.00000O.
But suppose there is In the country
today the amount estimated by Mr..
Carlisle. VIII II disappear from circu-
lation under free coinage? This is only
possible on the supposition that GOLD
viii go to a premium, and even II gold
goes TO q premium II will be used not
withstanding the premium, and to that
extent take the place of other kinds
of money. Those who hold gold will be
compelled to use II or else lose the in
terest upon 1t. and to lose the interest
upon 1t is a penalty which the holders
of gold will not long pay. But If gold
disappears because silver becomes
cheaper and takes Its place, then gold
Will reappear whenever the scarcity OF
money makes the silver MS dear as
gold. The gold which we have cannot
leave us until the holders OF 1t eN-
change 1t for some thing which they
desire more than they do the gold.
But let me call your attention to the
statement that 1t would require fifteen
years to coin enough silver to take the
place OF the gold. The answer TO that
proposition is very simple. II our
minis do not coin silver fast enough
TO supply the demand we can make
more mints until the mints are sufli-
Client for all requirements; we can is
sue silver certificates and deposit the
bullion to be coined in the mints when
the mints are sufficient, so that there
is nothing in the proposition of Mr..
Carlisle to scare the people.
Now let me suggest some PROPOSE
lions which must be considered by
those who are studying the money
question. and l think you will agree

New York, July 13.--Manager Joe Vendig
OF the Florida Athletic club this evening
made an important announcement regarding
tho Corbett- Fitzsimmons glove contest, which
is scheduled 10 take place at Dallas, Tex,
October 81. There will be no battles
previous to the big event Any additional
bouts that may be put on Will come on after
Corbott and Fitzsimmons have settled their
controverslty. This is obviously shrewd
move on tho part Of the managers. In pre-
yious pugllstic carnlyals 1t has been the
custom to put the lesser lights on FIRST and
reserve the big event for the last night.
Should this be done at Dallas and any aeei-
dent happen 10 the principals OF the curtain
raisers. the chief event might be prevented.
At the present time the plan is TO have two
bouts on nights succeeding the big affair.
Dixon and Plimmer will be the contestants
in one. and the probabilities are that Maher
and o'Donnell will be selected for the wind
up.
Pllmmer and Dixon are still little apart on
weight but II is expected they will roach an
agreement and come TO terrna. Plimmer ia
