WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The campaign
for the free coinage of silver will be-
waged with vigor during the next four
years in preparation for the election in
1900. The directors of the American
Bimetallic union, who constitute bulk
of the silver leaders in three parties.
have decided to maintain Headquarters
in this city from which to send out lit.
erature. The branch office at Chicago
will be consolidated with the Washing.
ton office, but the San Francisco branch
is to be continued At the request of
the directors General A. j. Warner, the
the president of the union, has issued
the following address to the silver
leagues and bimetalhc unions of the
United States:
"Silver has lost in this election, bus
the battle for the overthrow of the gold
standard has not ended. The disas-
trous consequences that must attend
upon the continuance of this standard
make it impossible to relinauish the
the struggle against it until it is finally
oyerthrown.
THE gold standard cannot be main
tanned by increasing revenues because
revenues are not paid in gold. The at
tempt to maintain the gold standard by
perpetual loans must also sooner or
later fail. The only other way is by
contracting the currency and forcing
down prices so low that gold will come
here of itself in such quantities as to
constitute in part at least the currency
with which revenues are paid, and NO
debtor nation can long maintain such
policy. Either course. therefore, leads
to inevitable ruin; the one by bank
rupting the government and the other
by bankrupting the people Either pol
icy will subject the United States alb
solutely to British domination, and
hence the rejoicing of the British press
over the defeat of silver here.
"The victory for gold is victory of
trusts and syndicated wealth brought
about by corruption and coercion and
not victory Of the people or for the
people, and it cannot last. There must
be an end also to the constant appreoia-
ton of money The appreciation of
money alone if allowed to go on at the
rate 1t has gone on for the past 20 years,
will in half generation more, transfer
the bulk of all the wealth of this coun-
try from those who have created it to
the hands of the few who control the
money and own the debts. No power
can be conceived so potent to gather
wealth into few hands as the cease
less, all-pervading power of an appreoi-
ating money standard No civilization
can stand against it. It must end, or
the foundations upon which free insti-
tutions rest will be broken up.
1.-The battle, therefore, for the resto-
ration of silver must go on without
abatement, and urge upon all silver
and bimetallic leagues and unions to
keep up their organizations and to con-
tinue the fight until victory for the peo-
pie is fully won.
1.-The noble fight made by our intrepid
leader in the campaign just ended en-
dears him to all who believe in the
righteousness of our cause, and under
his leadership we believe victory will be
won in 1900. y
