SILVER MEN ISSUE AN ADDRESS.
Argument for Free Silver and Eulogy d
Senator Teller.

Argument for Free silver and EuloGy q
Senator Teller.
The result of the silver mems meeting
yesterday was an address to the people
commencing Henry NJ. Teller for presi-
dent Of the United States on the single
plank platform of free coinage Of silver at
once at the ratio Of 16 to 1. The document
begins with an argument in favor of that
policy, which is called ..bimetallism'' all
through, and winds up with the offer to
all the forthcoming national conventions
the one man who, in the opinion of the
signers, embodies the issue completely
Henry NJ. Teller.
hitting this name to the people we re-
mind you that just generation ago, from
the heart Of the boundless west and
tonched by the finger Of God, there arose
an emancipation who was powerful in the
work Of human deliverance. By his wis
dom and courage, providentially directed,
millions were set free, and the nation kept
in its holy union. II others shall see this
opportunity AZ we see it, If our fellow-citi-
zens shall see this duty as we see it, that
sublime history may be repeated and an.
other man-clothed in the majesty Of de
votion to the race-win be lifted to power
where, by his wisdom and courage, provi-
dentially directed, moro millions may be
made free from chains as CALLING as those
Of actual slavery, and the nation may be
preserved in the unity Of its mission to the
world"

HARRIrY,s VIEW OF THE SITUATION

Wants Democr.ey 10 Mako the Tariff the
Issue BY I.dorsing Sound Money"
PIrTsBURG, June Chairman w. +.
Harrity, Of the Democratic national COM
mittee, passed through here On route to
Philadelphia from St. Lous. When asked
about the platform adopted at St. Louis
Harrity said: In my opinion the action
of the Republican national convention
makes 1t even more important
that the Chicago national conventian
shall declare for sound money than il an
equivocal financial plank had been placed
In the st. Louis platform. 1 am on record
as predicting that the Democratic national
convention will not declare for the free
coinage of silver, and I am still quite hope
full that the sound money element Of the
Democratic party will prevail in the con.
vention."
what effect will the withdrawal of
Senior Teller and his free silver associates
from the Republican national convention
have upon the Chicago convention" was
asked
st ought to give NO encouragement to
our party to adopt free silver policy. II
will be found that the gentlemen who
bolted the st. Louis convention will moi
take any step to help the Democratic
party. They would doubtless cooperate
with Democrats, providing the Democrats
would follow where they lead. The sug
question that Senator Teller may be nom
mated by the Chicago convention is moi
worthy Of Q moments serious considers
ton"
He added that II the Democrats declared
for Sound money" that issue would bt
eliminated and the tariff would be para
mount, which in his opinion would be ar
advantage to the Democracy.

senator himself pushes such suggestions
aside without ceremony.
Late last night report was current that
the boilers had been in conference with
the Populist leaders, several OF whom hap
pen to be in town just now. Investigation
showed the rumor to be untrue, though 1t
Is not considered impossible that some ef
fort at rapprochement may yet be made by
one side or the other to the end that all
silver men Of whatever party may get to
gether ON common ground and so act in
concert for the best interests Of the silver
supporting states.

IN THE
e&&$&
inanCial World.

There was little public interest In the
general market today, a duller session
than that Of this morning not having
been seen for some time. In speaking Of
this fact, however, Joseph says; "The
sluggisbness which amounts almost to
torpidity gives promise OF being soon re-
placed by activity and general improve
meDt," and he is supported in this
opinion by many of the most conservative
judges In the Street.
New York foreign houses were without
orders for London account this morning.
In London the market for American
securities was steady with prices about
New York parity, but there was not
sufficient difference In the fluctuations
to make arbitrage possible. The sharp
demand for consois and home rails at
higher price promised to nave an improv-
ing tendency upon the market.
Reading appeared TO be little stronger
yesterday afternoon and today on reports
That the trouble OF the company with the
law department of the State of Pennsyl-
vania would soon be settled In the COM
pany's favor. This and the good railroad
showings tended TO strengthen such
securities, as the loss for the first half Of

OUR LETTER SAID:

"The election is conceded in this part Of the
world to Mr.. Mckinley, and as per our recent
letters.'we with others, cannot see any other
outcome TO the election. We do fail to see.
however, why prices. after advancing from
10 to 25 points more should go very much
higher merely because our present state of
affairs is to be continued, which is what Mr..
McKinley's election means No laws can be
passed, because the Senate is averse TO so
doing, that will positively commit us. as
nation, to slways have gold standard. In
the event of Mr.. McKinley's election, we pre-
dict bear Christmas, and will try TO remem-
Der to call your attention to this letter at that
time"
Contrast this with the regular and frantic
appeals to buy stocks which you have read
during the last 40 DAYS. Our letter is STAND
ARD. In Saturdays issue we give ad-
vice, to which we say we again expect to call
your attention in the near future.
