IN SILVER'S CAUSE.
Bolting Republicans State Their
 Case to the Public
England's Consent to International Blmet- allism Impossible Until United States Takes Action Chicago Ticket In-
 dorsed-The Financial Issue.

DENVER, Col, July 2L-Senator Tel. Ter and eleven of his associates, who left the national republican conven. tion, last evening made public an ad- dress to the silver republicans of the country, setting forth their views of the situation. In addition to those signing the address, Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, and Senator Cannon, of Utah, are declared to be in sympathy with it, although Senator Cannon was not present at the conference owing to business engagements in Boston. The address is very lengthy. It says among other things:
 To those who believe in bimetallism, which means the equal treatment of both gold and silver at the hints of the nation. there is but one course to pursue, and that is to unite all the silver forces and to oppose with all our might the candidate representing the policy which we believe is frought with disaster to the nation and ruin to the people
 Gold monometallism means the shifting to gold alone. as primary money, all the burdens Of commerce and credit formerly borne by gold and silver, and as the worlds stock of these metals has always been about equal in amount It means the doubling of the burden upon gold. Doubling the burden upon gold means doubling the demand for the same, and doubling the de- mand, or necessity doubles the value thereof.
 That the condition of the country is not sat- isfactory, all admit. The producers of wealth are not receiving fair and proper compensa- tion for their labor, whether in field, factory or mine: enterprise has ceased; values are constantly declining: labor is unimployed: discontent and distress prevail to an extent never before known in the history of this country. and no reason can he found for such an unhappy condition save in . vicious mone- tary system.
 Those who profess to deplore the present financial condition and oppose the free coinage Of silver are divided in opinion as to the cause of the present condition. Some declare that 1t is because we have too much tarfY: others that we have not enough, while the fact exists that every gold standard country in the world, whether it has a high or low tariff. is now and has been during recent years in the throes of a financial panic. and every silver standard country compared with it's former condition, is enjoying an industrial development and degree of prosperity hitherto unknown in it's history. While thus differing in opinion, they unite in asserting that the gold standard must be main- tained until foreign countries shall signify their willingness that the American people shall exercise the rights of free men and create a financial system of their own.
 No one who has read the proceedings of the
 
 have already been held, or who has examined the impracticable propositions presented at those conferences, can for a moment believe that any international bimetallic agreement can ever be made with the consent of all the leading commercial nations Of the world.
 There is no hope for international bimetal- lism until the. United States shall establish bimetallism for itself, and when that is done international bimetallism may be secured with. out the consent Of Great Britain.
 The address then goes tn to commend the support of the Chicago ticket for the betterment of the distressed con. dition of the country and says:
 This is a critical period in our national his tory. Our industry and financial independ- ence of other nations and peoples is involved in this campaign, and we firmly believe there will be no return of prosperity until we shall have changed our financial system so as to re- store the bimetallic system established by the fathers of the republic.
