PoWOERLY ON FREE SILVER.
It's Advocates, He Says, Have No Claim
Upon worlingmen's Votes,

It's Advocates, He Says, Have No Claim
Upon workingmen's Votes.
Former General Master Workman Pow
Derby of tho tho knights of Labor, has
como out for Mckinley and Hobart and
sound money. Mr., Powderly says:
"The silver men have been spreading the
doctrine of free coinage actively for many
years, and by incessant labor they have
succeeded in committing some Industrial
organization to the advocacy OF their
theories. With such oarnestness have they
circulated the story of the crime of 1873
that the belief that silver was stealthily
and surreptitiously demonitized has
gained great Roadway. The fact Is lost
sight of that those who have exposed the
alleged crime were themselves criminals
according to their own theory. They sat
in congress when the bill was passed, they
took part in the debates, and by their
votes aided in the passage of the act, Had
the mon who discovered the crime Of
1873 not bcen owners OF silver mines or did
they not wish to unload their silver prop
critics on the unwary no one would have
heard Of the act OF 1873"
speaking OF mr. Bryan MT. IOWuerly
said that he never heard of Bryan cham
pioning single labor measure. 'He is
vouched for by no one" continued Mr.
Powderly. HE nominated himself in a
speech about crucifying labor upon a cross
Of gold. His only solution of the diff
Guilty is to break the limbs of labor upon
the rack of silver.
Bryan speaks of gold plutoorats but he
does not explain why the gold plutocrat is
any worse than tho silver one. In Nevada,
the home of the agitation for the single
silver standard, there are less than 40, 900
people My home, the city of Scranton,
has a population Of 10000 inhabitants.
Deduct double tho pon.sltihation of Nevada
from tbs population of Scranton and you
have 5000 left. Yet Nevada has two sena-
tors to shout for silver, while the city of
Scranton has not single representative In
the United States senate to boom our coal
and iron and steel and to ask the govern
Iaent to double their value.

THE Democratic candidate for
Vice President is like all the rest Of
the silver advocates. To the voters
he talks alluriugly of the infinite
beauties of the silver standard. In
business he insists upon his pound Of
flesh. A short time ago his firm con.
tracted to ship several cargoes of
timber to South American ports.
The terms Of tho contracts are now
published. In them it is expressly
stipu lated that the cost Of trauspor.
tation is to he paid to the Sewall
house "in United States gold or its
equivalent" Nor can he plead ig.
norAnce of the language of the con-
tract, as Senator Stewart did when
confronted with the gold record
which he had made on the Pacific
slope 1t was from his own lips that
the shipping firm learned that his
business was conducted upon a gold
basis" when in their amazement they
questioned the wording Of the agree
ment.

From Staff Correspondent.
Chicago, Ills, July 7.-When the West
Virginia delegation Went TO bed last
night it was with the understanding
distinct and definite to the last degree
that tn votes were to be cast for David
B. Hill for temporary president and two
for Daniel During the night and early
morning. however, the silver men got
IN their work and as a result man after
man left the Hill majority and went
with II. S. Wilson and Harding, tho
minority Of yesterday, until during the
session Of the convention the formal
vote stood nine for Daniel and three for
HILL the latter Messrs. McGraw, How
ard and St. Clair.
The State delegation met at ten
o'clock at the headquarters at the Pal
mer House, and discussion al once
started as to whether the vote Of Mon
day evening, as between Hill and Dam
iel was to be considered binding or in
the nature of instructions. Ii was
agreed that there was nothing binding
about it and Immediately there was
sigh of relief on the part Of several Of
the delegation, and it could be seen that
change had come over the spirit Of
some folks dreams during the night.
The result showed that the surmiz2
was well founded.
The question OF what stand the dele
gation would take as TO praslceH,iaL
candidate vas tEen brought up, and a
motion was made to cast a frs COM
plimen;ary vote fer Blackburn S.ma
