on which silver advocates and protec-
tionists can unite. The meeting was
| brought about largely through the ef-
forts OF William Wilhelm, OF PittsvIlle,
Pa, and Redfendorfer, of Philadelphia,
manufacturer and secretary OF the na-
tional bimatallic committee.

| others which will probably he had, and

| dence betweez Wilhelm and Senators

manufacturing interests. The confer
ence was organized by choosing senator
Dubois as chairman and Wilhelm as Sc
cretary. Brief speeches were made by
all the senators. They defined their po-
sition in such menner as to make it
plain to the manufacturers that there
could be no protection or tariff legisla-
lation either this session or the next,
without the rehabilitiop Of of silver, and
| bimetslllsm and protection, as regarded
from their standpoint, constituted the
issue before the country. Some of the
| manufacturers OF themselves endorsed
| this position.
| President Dornap, OF tie man ufactur-
er's club of Philadelphia, expressed the
opinion that tariff duties could not be
made high enough to protect the manu-
| fscturers OF cur country under q gold
basis.
| James Dobson came out unqualitieily
| for free silver coinage by international
agreement il possible, otherwise by in-
dependent action. He believed indepen-
dent action would induce intern ational
action. Free cottage might create
temporary disturbance, but it WAC the
quickest way to permanent relief.
Henry A. Frye, Philadelphia, said the
sooner we took Independent action for
bi.metslism the better it would be, he
declared for protection and bi-metsllism.
| Charles Heber Clark, editor Of the
Manufacturer, Philadelphia, said he la
bored to convince the manufacturers
that protection would only prove effica-
cIous in eoejuction with the restoration
\ Of silver.
| Richard Champion declared himself in
favor of the restoration Of silver.
/ Senators expressed the opinion that
this was the first note of warning to the
Republican party against the sdoption of
the single gold standard plank in the ST.
Louis platform or the nomination of a
standard man on strsddle plank.
