The Silver Meeting.

Pursuant to notice given, a few
gentlemen met at the Court House
ON Saturday afternoon and passed
resolutions advocating the restora-
ton of silver to the coinage in the
ratio of Is to l. Truth compels us
so say there were few in attend
ance, and that a lack of enthus-
iasm was most distinctly noticca-
BILE When the resolutions came
tie be put, there were not over 20
persons in the room, and some Of
these were opposed to the passage
OF the resolutions. We cheerfully
give space to the account Of the
meeting as prepared by one of the
participants.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1895-05-28
b j. PETERS,
Egbert G. Coons,
Secretary.
Chairman.

The question of coinage Of silver in
the ratio of Is TO l, OF any other ratio,
has no place in our State campaign
and should not have been allowed to
assume the proportions it has done in
the discussions incident TO State poll
tics. 1t matters little what the Gov
ernOr, Auditor or Attorney-G General
shall favor in such matters. Their
influence on national legislation will
be too small to count for much-even
If the prospect for such legislation was
not so far in the future, as to make a
change of any sentiment that might
now exist, strong probability. Mr..
Cleveland will be president for two
years vet and if Congress were to pass
such bill as would please the silver
people-a thing almost out of the pos
sible-he would veto it. The only
place the question has any sort OF
bearing is in the selection of members
of the Legislature, which will choose
United States Senator. Let us keep
on our linen awhile and we will prot
ably find there is ample time for
dispassionate discussion of the quef-
ton without giving it an undue prom
inence at time when it is neither
well understood nor entirely relevant.

Nh. STIRLING, KY, May %. '95.
At meeting held at the Court
House in Mt. Sterling, Ky, on
May 25, 1895.
on motion, The Hon. B. J. Peters
was called to preside and Egbert
4, COOns was elected Secretary. After
the Chairman, in a short and lucid
speech, explained the object Of the
meeting and discussed the ques
lions involved.
OH motion, The Hon. Thomas
Turner, John Oldham and G. W.
Kemper were appointed a commit
tee 20 draft resolutions expressive
of the views of the meeting, and
they reported for the consideration
Of the meeting the following reso-
buttons, which after a short speech
by the Hon. Thomas Turner, advo-
! eating and explaining them, were
adopted:
Ist That we favor the full
coinage by the minis Of the United
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1895-05-28

States all gold and silver bullion
delivered to them, at the ratio of
16 to l, without awaiting the ac-
ton of any other nation-the Gov
eminent charging the owners Of
the bullion with the actual cost of
mintage and alloy furnished.
End, That value is the purchas-
ing power of one thing, measured
by another and depends upon the
relations of demand and supply.
3rd. We concede that the Gov
eminent cannot, by legislation, fix
the relative, exchangeable value OF
one commodity to another; the rel
ative value of commodity to an
other depends upon the demand
for and the supply of each but we
do insist that by law and custom,
we can create an artificial use for a
commodity and thereby create an
increased demand and exchanged
BILE value. Money is the universal
article of swap, made so by law
and custom to facilitate the rapid
exchange Of labor and its products,
rather than resort to the slow and
cumbrOus methods of barter.
Nine-tenths of the demand for gold
and silver is for minting it into
money to do our exchange and pay
debts, and the relative value of
money to property and Of property
to money depends upon the amount
Of the material and the uses and
demand therefor, as a commodity,
and the additional demand and
uses therefor, to do exchange and
pay debts with, and the demand
for them for all these purposes.
18TH. The effect of demonitiza-
ton Of silver, would be to cut into
half the redemption money of the
world, and leave gold alone to do
all the business now done by both,
and thus double the demand for
gold and its purchasing power and
halce that of labor and it's products,
and to leave our debts calling for
the same number Of dollars, and it
would take two days work, or two
bushels Of wheat and corn to get
one dollar, when one days work or
one bushels Of wheat and corn
would have gotten it at the time
the debts were created and
thus our debts would remain the
same and our ability to pay be
halved.
18th. That we believe the United
States has commercial and pecuni-
airy power to force other nations,
who have adopted gold monometal-
ism to lose their trade with half of
the citizens of the world who use
silver alone or to desist from their
to silver and to restore its
functions as money metal. En-
gland in 1916 demonltized silver.
Germany and France dropped it
from the coinage in 1872, and yet
silver retained its par relation to
gold above l6 TO /, until it was de-

true system of finance and sound
money.
9th. That we invite the citizens
of Montgomery county, who are
interested in these views and who
believe that the best interests of
the country depend upon their en-
forcement, to unite with us as ac-
tive members of the club, and we
request the newspapers published
in Mt. Sterling, KY, to publish the
proceedings of this meeting.
ThereupOn the meeting adjourn
ed to meet at the Court House on
next County Court Day (June 17)
at 3 p. m, at which time it will
proceed to organize club in favor
of bimetalic currency Of both gold
and silver on the same footing they
stood from - to 1878.

nonitized by the United States in

monitized by the United States in
1873, and then it began to decline
in its relative value to gold and has
continued to do so ever since, and
the same power which first caused
its decline can restore it to it's
pristine ratio, by placing it in the
same position it stood prior to
1873.
9th. The United States produc-
es from 80 to 3S per cent. of the
worlds annual production of silver
and only about 6 or 7 per cent. of
its annual production of gold, and
it will be strange, indeed, if En-
gland and other countries whose
colonies produce gold can per-
suade our people to enter upon and
continue a policy and system of
legislation, which will destroy the
demand for that of which we pro-
duce most, and increase the de-
mand for that of which they pro-
duce most, and to thus halve the
value of that which we produce,
and double the value of that which
they produce.
18th. That an ideal system of
finance is one which keeps the re-
lation between money and property
as near the same as possible at all
times and this can be best APP
preached by using both metals as
money. In one decade there will
be largely more gold unearthed
than silver and in another, largely
more silver than gold, and this
serves to preserve and maintain the
equilibrium of values, whereas,
If gold alone was the only
money metal and in one de-
cade an unusual amount of it was
unearthed, it would sink in money
value or purchasing power, and
there would be a rapid rise of
property, if in another decade pop
ulation and production increased
largely, and there was little or no
gold unearthed, in that decade the
purchasing power Of money would
rise rapidly and that of property
fall. These fluctuations, in the
rise and fall of the property and
money are unfriendly to the inter
est of the laborer and the farmer,
who do not study the causes that
produce them, and are always at
their expense, and profitable to
those who deal alone in money,
study finance and engage in specu-
lation.
18th. That in furtherance of
these principles and measures, and |
to educate the people to under
stand the baneful influence Of gold |
monometalism and the extent that
their prosperity and liberty depend
upon a proper system of finance.
We will form a club to be called
'The Montgomery Bimetalic Club"
the object and business of which
will be to circulate literature and
and procure speeches to be made
advocating what we deem to be the
