silver Convention in Georgia.

a great Convention of the advo-
Gates of free coinage was held at
Griffin, Georgia, on the 18th, COM
posed Of silver men-Democrats and
Popullsts-from all over the State.
Though largely attended, the Con-
Vention was quiet and orderly and
the resolutions offered by the COM
mittee, of which Capt. Evan L. How
ell, of the Atlanta Constitution, was
Chairman, were adopted without a
dissenting vote. They declare:
THAT we favor the immCdiatc
restoration Of silver to its former
place as full legal-tender standard
money, equal with gold, and the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to |, and
upon terms Of exact equality.
That while we should welcome the
cooperation of other nations, we be-
lieve that the United States should
not wait upon the pleasure of foreign
governments or the consent of for
eign creditors, but should themselves
proceed to reverse the grinding pro-
cess that is destroying the prosperity
of the people, and should lead by
their example the other nations of
the earth.
That the rights Of the American
people, the interests of American la
Dor, and the prosperity of American
industry have higher claim to the
consideration of the peoples law
makers than the greed of foreign
creditors or the avaricious demands
made by idle holders of capital.
The right to regulate its own mono.
tary system in the interest of its
own people is right which no free
government can barter, sell or sur.
render. This reserved right is a
part of every bond, Of every con-
tract, and OF every obligation. No
creditor or claimant can set up a
right that can take precedence over
nations obligation to- promote the
welfare of the masses of it's own
people. This is a debt higher and
more binding than any other debt.
and one which is not only dishonest,
but reasonable to ignore"
After the adjournment of the Con.
vention, Senator Morgan, Of Ala,
bama, spoke for three hours in be.
half of the white metal.
