 Dear Sir: The Birmingham Trades council hereby tender you and the Con- mercial club an invitation to attend our annual Labor Day celebration at Lake view park on September ', 1S96. Dr. J. l.. M. Curry of Washington, D. C., will be the speaker of the day. Very respectfully yours
 VIM. H. STANLEY, Chairman. Council Thanks the Club. MT. Stanley was present in behalf of the Trades council and stated that he had been requested to return thanks to the Commercial club, especially the sec retary, for the aid rendered toward making Labor Day a success. The mer- chants, manufacturers and business men generally, he said, had contributed lib- orally, and the indications are that the day will be in keeping with all past ef- forts. The railroads have granted all asked except the Southern, which had refused the request for an excursion train to run from Corona to Birmingham in the morning and return in the after noon unless s20 was put up as a guar antee. MT. Stanley thought this out of reason and was not lacking in words to express his indignation.

 We are una1terably op- posed to monometallism which has locked fast the prosperity Of an industrial people in the paralysis oi hard times. Gold monometal- lism is a British policy, and it's adoption has brought other nations into financial scrvitude 10 London. It is not only un-American but anti-American, and it can be fastened on the United States only by the stihing ol that spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our politi- cal independence in 1776 and won 1t in the war of the rev olution.
 We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the pres ent ratio of 16 to |, without waiting for the aid or con sent of any other nation. We demand that tho standard silver dollar shall be a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts. public and private. and we favor such litigation as will pre- vent for the future the de- monetiZation Of any kind of legal tender money by pri- Vate contract.

The only possible way to get straight, unconditional declaration for the gold standard was pursued with reference to the getting up of the Indianapolis con- vsntion. The gold trust and corpora tions simply ordered their agents to as- semble together and make a declara tion.

1898 Daclaration of Stiffs.

cOlnage question::
 1898 Declaration of Stiffs. The experience of mankind has shown that by reason of their natural qualities, gold is the necessary money of the large affairs of commerce. and business, while silver is conveniently adapted to mi- nor transactions. and the most beneficial use of both together can be insured only by the adoption of the former as a standard of monetary measure, and the mainte- nance of silver at a parity with gold by it's limited coin- age under suitable Safe- guards of law. Thus the largest possible en- joyment. of both metals is gained with a value univer- sally accepted throughout the world, which constitutes only practical bimetallic cur rency, assuring the most stable standard, and especial ly the best and safest money for all who earn their liveli- hood by labor or the product of husbandry. They cannot suffer when paid in the best money known to man, but are the peculiar and almost defenSeless victims of a de- based and fiuctuating cur rency, which offers continual profits to the money changer at their cost.
 Realizing those truths, demonstrated by long public inconvenience and loss, the democratic party, In the in ,erest of the masses and equal justice to all, practical ly established, by the legisla- ten of 1884 and 1853. the gold standard of monetary meas urement, and likewise entire ly divorced the government from banking and currency issues. To this long estab- Eahed democratic policy we adhere and insist upon the maintenance of the gold standard, and of the parity therewith of every dollar is sued by the government, and are firmly opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of sil- yer and to the compulsory purchase of silver bullion.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-09-05
1892 Declaration.

We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the stand ard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without dis eliminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coiR- age of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and eX- changeable value, or be ad- justed through international agreement, or by such safe guards of legislation as shall ensure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals. and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets, and in payment of debt; and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and re- deemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and a fluctuating currency.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-09-05


 In order to maintain a gold standard In this country two and a half years the government has been forced to go in debt $262 000, 900 and burden the taxpayers with new bonds to that amount. The bonds bear per cent interest and run for thirty years. Already the annual in- terest the people will have to pay for the luxury of the gold standard amounts to SIC, ,4SO, 900, or 314 ,400 900 be fore their ma turity Add this sum to the principal of these obligations and it will be seen that the direct burden imposed upon the tax payers, the wealth producers of the United States, for the benefit of the bond grabbers and gold conspirators for thirty months maintenance of the financial system advocated by the republican par ty and which it pledges itself to con- tinue, is the enormous sum of $576, 400, ,00O It would be impossible for Mckinley, if elected, to uphold the gold standard with out issuing more bonds, because he would be utterly unable to secure any tariff legislation from free silver senate un- less it be coupled with free coinage pro- vision. If Mckinley should be elected there could be no change for the better from present monetary conditions and disturbances. Indeed they would be in- tensified, and the only result would be continued hard times and an enormously increased national bonded debt.

Mckinley has the ardent support of all the trusts, combines and monopolies, and if elected would do their bidding without protest What benefit have these blood sucking institutions ever been to the people? They have practically dictated federal legislation for twenty-five years exclusively in their own behalf and against the interests of the people of the nation. This legislation has been sys- tematicaily and continuously for the pur- pose of depreciating, in the hands of pro- ducers, the prices of all commodities, es- pecially the necessaries of life, and en- hancing the price to consumers. The fact that these vampires are unitedly supporting the republican party should array every producer and consumer in support of the democratic party.
 The nomination of old John Palmer by the Hannaite convention at Indianapolis is an illustration of the eternal fitness of things" That old demagogue some six years ago went about over Illinois proclaiming himself the friend of the peo- ple and so deceived them that, after pledging himself to the free coinage Of silver and other reforms demanded by them, he succeeded, with the aid of three Farmers alliance and labor votes, which he could never have secured otherwise, in the state legislature in having himself elected 10 the United States senate, where he has consistently misrepresented his constituents. After being over whelmingly repudiated by the democratic party on account of his political treason, he now appears as the great leader of those who falsely claiming to be demo- crats have been repudiated for the same reason that their leader was. The Han nacrats have made a most proper and

The Cunningham Case .

Governor Thornton, yesterday, rendered
his decision in the matter of the charges
preferred by the county commissioners, Of
Santa Fe county, against w. p. Cunning
ham, and after reading at length, the
charges, closes as follows:
at therefore appears that the defendant
is not indebted either to the county or the
Territory for mounts collected by him as
collector, and that he has not violated that
provision of the statute which authorizes
the governor 'to vacate the commissions
of all ~defaulting tax collectors, or receiv-
ers, or of any other persons in whose
hands public moneys shall come who shall
scribed by law"
l feel it my duty to say that l have
reached this conclusion with regret, for
from my own knowledge, and from infor-
nation which l have received, l am well
satisfied that the sheriff does not perform
his official duties in such a manner as to
reflect credit upon the Office which he &C.
cupies, and that in several instances he
has committed acts of official oppression
sufficient to justify his removal had l
the authority to do so, but there is no
way of reaching this class Of misconduct
save In a court of law where he has the
right to a jury trial. l had fully made
up my mind, that, if l found the sheriff
had Incorporated one dollar of public
money, the only offense for which the
governor can remove a public officer, !
his commission, and it is simply from a
want of power that l fail to do SO.

Governor.

The LIQUOR Dealers.

The Lasvegas liquor dealers association
was organized at the Bridge street club
rooms, last evening, and the members con.
sist Of every wholesale and retail dealer in
the city. 1t is also proposed to organize a
Territorial liquor dealers association. The
association last evening sat down upon
some Of the druggists Of Las Vegas rather
hard, as they adopted resolutions addressed
to District Attorney E. v. Long, calling
his attention TO the fact that the druggists
about town were selling liquor by the
drink, and that none of them had taken
out license to do this.
Since the matter has been brought to the
attention of the district attorney, he will
now be compelled to prosecute those who
violate the law in this manner, although
this custom has been in vogue with the
druggists all over the country for sc
many years that it has almost become
legal from the fact that it runs back to @
time that 'sthe memory of man runneth moi
to the contrary" The association will
soon offer a reward for information lead.

relations. He was a pioneer In this coun'
try, and had made and lost several for

the Gallinas river, and burned out at an'
other time, but at the time Of his death he
