The Iowa Silverites

DES MONIES, Iowa. June 5.-Genelal
J. b. Weaver and other leaders of the
silver party in the west were present at
the state silver meeting today. There
was a large general attendance ana much
enthusiasm manifested. The confer
ence today was non-partisan and it is
understood no effort will be made to
nominate a ticket. The silver wing of
the Democratic party has a conference
scheduled for tom orrow. Most OF those
here today will stay over for 1t. A letter
from United States Circuit Judge Henry
c. Caldwell of Little Rock, A rl. was read
IN which he says: 80 long as we pro-
claim to the world that our purpose is
to adhere to the single gold standard till
England agrees to abandon it, free and
unlimited coinage of silver at any ratio
will never come. Supplications In thi $
direction will be in vain. She spurns
with arrogance and insolence that such
cowardly and puslanimous actions on
our part deserve.
What is more, England's action is
courageous and aggressive gction, not
cowardly supplication. The issue is
sharply defined. Those who do not favor
free coinage OF gold and silver at 16 to l.
making silver the unit of value, as don e
under the act of 1892. are for a gold
standard. There is no middle giound. I"

for the laborer and protection for the
currency. 1t dencunces the heresy of the
free. unlimited and independent coinage
of silver, and it will protect the people
from the dishonor OF reputation. 1t has
been said before, and it is repeated now
that every dollar should be OF equal value
W ith everv other dollar, and that every
promise to pay a dollar should be as
sacred as soldiers grave and worth 100
cents wherever the flag flies. 1t favors
the use of gold and silver of equal pur-
chasing and equal debt-paying power
and will preserve for every son of toll the
same dollar that is held by the richest
millionaire in the land. We heartily
sympathiZe with the intelligent business
men of the Democratic party who agree
with us on this question and ask them to
stand by and help us in an honest effort
to preserve the nation credit
The platform adopted charges that the
recent reduction in wages, decline in eX-
portations, general depression of businessj
shrinkage in values and labor agitation
have all been due to the apprehension of
usiness interests as to recent threatened
tariff changes and the want of confidence
in the Democratic management.
Contnu Ing, the platform says: "We
are opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, believing II would in
voive the country in financial ruin. We
believe in sound currency and in the
use OF D0tn GOlu ana silver 1Or coinage,
provided always that dollar in one is
made precisely as valuable as dollar in
the other.
We favor a tariff so regulated as to
protect the in terests of all classes of citi
zcns upon articles that may be success
fully manufactured or produced i'll this
country thus insuring good wages to the
laborer and home market TO the pro-
ducer and in connection with this we
favor the establishment of the doctrine
of reciprocity. We believe that such u
system would defray every govern
mental expense, gradually liqui-
date every debt, restore public con-
tidence and relegate to the rear the
undue excitement now prevailing con
cerning the treasury. In view OF the
past, the Democratic party's history. its
devotion to tie old bank system and
wild cat tendencies, we affirm that the
Republican party can be more safely
trusted to regulate the financial system Of
the nation.
1--WE favor an American policy which
will protect Americans and American in
terests in all pants of the world at all
hazards, and will sympathize with
strongly republican governments rather
than ignorant munarchies."
The names of eight candidates for the
lieutenant governorship were presented,
and after balloting until midnight with
out effect the convention adjourned.

FLOWER FESTIVAL SOCIETY
Annual Meeting Yesterday at the
FOurth=street Home
Secretary ard Treasurer Report a Prosperous
and Satisfactory Condition-Elec-
tion of Officers

The regular annual meeting of the
Flower Festal society was held yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, in the parlors OF
the home, i25 East Fourth street, with an
unusually large number of ladies from
the various benevolent societies in attend
ance.
Devotional exercises pened the meet
ing. Mrs. r. Nj. Widney offering the
prayer. The regular order of business
was then entered upon and the annual
reports Of secretary, treasurer and various
committees were read.
After giving brief resume of the pur.
poses of the society and quoting from the
constitution that its object is Ito give
protection and the comforts OF home life
at Il reasonable rate to working women,
and to engage in such other benevolent
work as may be agreed upon by the board
of managers, Mrs. Flint, the cores
ponding secretary. in her report contin
ued with a detailed account OF some of
the past wears work and discharge of OBJ
ligatlons. Three hundred young women
have peen adm itted to the home durng
the past year, ranging in age from IL to
So years; many of these have no friends
or relatives in the city, and depend upon
their own exertions to gam livelihood
Mrs Flint stated that with the increas-
ing growth and prosperity of the home it
was often found difiicult to keep within
the original province and the realization
came at the same time with more and
more force, that the further out-reachine
the sympathy and influence is, the less
work and need will there be for reform
schools and homes for erring girls.
Several concrete cases we've cited as show
ing the scope and variety of the work of
the society that is almost invariably ap-
pieciated and honoraby responded to BY
those upon whom care or money or both
are bestowed.
Mrs. Flint referred to the honest effort
on the part of the board to keep up the
standard OF giving sympathetic help
without impairing the self-respect OF
those who come under their care. A
tribute of respect and esteem was paid
the matIon. as well as the members OF
the home; and pleasant reference made
to those who for one reason or another
are no longer members.
Mrs. Flint closed her report with few
words of warm appreciation to the
faithful president. officers and members
of the board who, week after week dur
ing the past year, have given their time
and strength, cheerfully ana unostenta-
tiously to the work.
The following encouraging statement
was sent in from the treasurer. Morris NJ.
Albee, with the announcement that the
insurance is fully paid up for three years
to come:

SESSION OF THE SENATORS.
VEST WANTS THE SILVER BULLION
COINED INTO DOLLARS.

He Would Also Have the Secretary OF
the Treasury Directed 10 Use Them
in Redeeming GreenbacI1s and Sill
yer Certificates If More Convenient.
Senator Butler of North Carolina
Also Introduces silver ResOIu-
tiOn.
Washington. Dee. M.-There was moth
ing Of a directly warlike character in the
Senate discussion to-day. but there were
several very significant financial PROPOSE
tions and declarations. The first of these
was a resolution offered by Mr.. Vest, di-
rccting the Secretary Of the Treasury to
coin the silver bullion in the treasury into
standard silver dollars and to pay with
them the certificates issued under the law
Of July Il. 1890 in the purchase Of the bull
lion; also, to pay the greenbaeks in stan
dard silver dollars or in gold, ''usins
whichever may be most abundant or con-
venient.''
Mr.. Vest wished to have his resolution
Immediately considered. but objection was
made b. Mr. Plat, and the resolution
went over for the day.
A like fate attended a somewhat similar
resolution offered by the new populist
senator from North Carolina, Mr.. Butler,
directing the payment of the interest and
principal of the governments coin obli-
cations in gold or silver. as long as the
two metals are on parity; and in silver
when that metal is below parity with
gold
The Presidents financial message Of
yesterday was denounced by Senators
Stewart and Dubois. That message, in
Mr. Stewards opinion, proved that the
President was panic-stricken. But all that
the President had to do to sustain the ma
tional credit was to pay the government
obligations according to the contract. Let
him so announce" Mr. Stewart exclaimed,
and there will be no raids on the treas
ury"
Mr. Dubois also condemned the message
and declared that II was utterly, aDso-
lutely impossible to legislate financially
in accordance with the President recon-
mendatfon," and all that the message had
done was to precipitate tarln discus
sion. Nobody, he said, wanted to have
bonds issued, and nobody wanted to have
the greenbacks retired. He expressed ms
belief that the Vest resolution would be
agreed to on the next legislative day If a
vote upon 1t were not prevented by the
action of the Presidents friends.
A greeting from the federal Senate of
Brazil to the United States Senate on the
Worthy message Of President Cleveland,
which so strenuously guards the dignity,
sovereignty and freedom of the American
nations, was COMMUNICATED from the
state department and was read and re-
ferred to the committee on foreign rela-
tions.
The fortifcations bill, heretofore intro
duced by Mr.. Squire, rep, of Washington,
was reintroduced with an emergency
clause making the appropriation of $751;
10000 Immediately available if so ordered
by the President This clause, he said,
was desirable ''in view of changed oondi-
tons"
The holiday recess resolution having
failed between. the two houses, the SEN
ate, at LAS p. m, adjourned till Tuesday
next.

Fairness and Ability shown i'm the
Selection of the Committees.

Washington, Dec. A.-Speaker Reed
cleared the way to-day for action in the
House Of Representatives by announcing
the list of committees for this congress.
There We're several surprises occasioned
by the reading of the list. but generally

played in discharging the arduous and
delicate task.

congressional action to relieve the pres
emit financial distress was read and refer
