One of the prettiest decorative effects
was at Union block from the center of
which festoons of red and white were
gracefully draped, and were caught up
in the center in the form of shield.
From each window a flag also hung.
The Estabrook block was trimed with
flags and red, white and blue bunting.
Exchange block was decorated with
pink and green bunting, and stream
ers of the same reached from one side
to the other John Galyin's store was
elaborately trimmed, the posts outside
being wound with pink, black and
white bunting, with draperies of white
and purple suspended between the
posts. Wilcoxs variety store was
prettily trimmed with red, white and
blue, while just above the entrance
swung a shield covered with the same
material. Coleman's barber shop and
Goddard's cafe were both decorated
with the national colors and flags.
Granite block was deliberately deco
rated with red, white and blue and
long festoons reached from one side to
the other while the stars and strips
tloated from the highest window in
the block.

SCHWAB'S IDEA OF 1T.
Thinks tbs High Water Mdrk of the Sal
Iea. Morenlellt Is Renched.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 1 3.-Gustav
H. Schwab, chairman of the executive
committee of the sound money committee
of the Chamber of Commerce of the city OF
New York, said concerning the Chambers
crusade against free silver:
1.-THE high-water mark of the silver
movement has evidently been reached.
The most significant thing to emphasize
this fact is the action of the Populist State
convention of Des Moines, Iowa, at which
General James B.Weaver and his followers
were completely turned down by the more
conservative elements.
1.-THE one cheering thing of the whole
fight is that the Populist party is disin-
tegrating and that sound sense is finding
a foothold among the farmers. The cam
paign of education is bearing fruit, and
unless all signs fail before the Presidential
election occurs next year the rampant
silverites will be routed horse and foot.
both political parties are making bids
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-14

That the rights of the American people, the
interests of American labor and the prosperity
of American industry have a higher claim to
the consideration of the peoples lawmakers
than the greed of foreign creditors or the
avericious demands made by "idle holders of
'idle capital" The right to regulate it's own
monetary system in the interests of its own
people is right which no free government
can barter, sell or surrender. This reserved
right is part of every bond, of every contract
and OF every obligation. No creditor or claim
ant can set up right that can take precedence
over nations obligations to promote the well
fare of the masses of its own people. This is a
debt higher and more binding than all other
debts, and one which it is not only dishonest
but reasonable to ignore.
Under the financial policy that now prevails
we see the land filled with idle and discon-
tented workIngmen and an ever-growing army
of tramps, men whom lack of work and oppor-
tunity have made outcasts and beggars. At
families own half the wealth of the country
The Capitalization of wealth has gone hand in
hand with the spread of poverty.
The pauper and the plutocrat are twin chill
dren of the same vicious and unholy system
The situation is full of menace to the liberties
of the people and the life of the Republic The
issue is acknowledgment or hopeless servitude
Whatever the power of money can do by de-
bauchery and corruption to maintain its grasp
on the laW-making power will be done. We
therefore, appeal to the plain people, with per-

ing about my gold. I am afraid it will go

not keep too close watch on your gold 1t
is liable to leave the country at any
minute. President Cleveland has received
a great deal of praise for his backbone.
The American people have a little and
they are going to show it too.'
The speaker kept the audience laughing
for about fifteen minutes and at the con-
clusion of his remarks the convention took
a recess until about 2:30 P. NJ.
Immediately after the convention was
called to order for the afternoon session
Senator ]. K. Jones of Arkansas, as chair
man, presented the report of the commit
tee on resolution, which read as follows:
Silver and gold have in all ages constituted
the money of the world-were the money of the
fathers of the republic, the money of history
and OF the constitution. The universal ex-
perience of mankind has demonstrated that
the joint use of both silver and gold coin as
one money constitutes the most stable standard
OF values and that the full amount of both
metals is necessary as medium of exchange
The decentralization OF either of these historic
money metals means an appreciation from the
value Of money, a fall in the price of COM
modties, diminution of the profits OF legiti-
mate business, a continuing increase in the
burden OF debts, a withdrawal of money from
the channels of trade and industry where it n O
longer yields safe and sure return, and it's
