BLASTS OF SILVER BUGLEs

Charge for 1900.
NAMES BRYAN FOR LEADER
President Warner Continues White
Metal Headquarters in Washing
ton and San Francisco-NO Sur
render to Gold Standard-Organ-
tzatiOns to Be Maintained.

The directors of the American Himetallic
Union, who constitute the bulk of the
silver leaders In three paries,, have de-
clared to maintain headquarters in this
city, and use II as the agency through
which literature is to be spread broadcast
over the land. The branch office at
Chicago will be consolidated with the
Washington office, but the San Francisco
branch is to be continued.
Gen. A. j. Warner, president OF the union,
ut the request OF the directors, bas issded
the following address, setting forth the
purposes of the silver men:
TO tie Silver Leagues and Bimetallic
Unions Ct the United States: Silver has
lost in this election, but the battle for the
overthrow Of the gold standard has not
ended. The disastrous consequences that
must contend upon the continuance OF this
standard make it Impossible TO relinquish
the struggle against it until it is finally
overihrown.
CANNOT BE MAINTAINED.
..The gold standard cannot be maintained
by increasing revenues, because revenues
are not paid in gold. The attempt to
maintain the gold standard by perpetual
loans must also sooner or later fail. The
only other way is by contracting the cur
rency and forciHg down prices SO low that
gold will come here Of itself in such quanti-
ties as to constitute, in part at least, the
currency with which revenues are paid,
and no debtor nation can long main
tain such a policy.
"Either course, therefore, leads to in
evitable ruin; the one by bankrupting the
government, and the other by bankrnpting
the people. Either policy will subject the
United States absolutely to British domi
nation, and hence the rejoicing of the
British press over the defeat OF silver"
1.-THE victory for gold is victory OF
trusts and sy indicated wealth, brought about
by corruption and coercion, and not ii VIC
tory by the people, for the people, and 1T
cannot last. There must be an end, also, ~
the constant appreciation of money. The
appU citation OF money alone, if allowed to
go on at the rate 1t has gone on for the
past twenty years, will, In half a genera
ton more, transfer the bulk of all the
wealth of the country from those who have
created II to the hands OF the few who
control the money and own the debts
NO POWER SO POTENT
mo power can be conceived SO potent
TO gather wealth into few hands as the
ceasciess, allpcrvading power OF an af-
preciating money standard. No civiliza-
lion can stand against it. IL must end Cr
the foundations upon which free institu-
tions rest Will be broken up"
The battle, therefore, for the restOra-
ton OF silver must go ON without abatein mt,
and ] urge upon all silver and bime:allic
leagues and unions to keep up their Or
carnations and TO continue the tight till
victory for the people is finally von."
The noble fight made by our intrepid
leader in the campaign just endei rndears
him TO all who believe in the righteousness
oil our cause. anu under his leadership We
believe victory will be won in 1s0O.''
