The Silver Convention.

called the Silver convention to order.

convention, discussed at some length

gold standard was backed by men who
used epithets and abuse instead Of ar
luments. The speaker attempted to
show how hard times would vanish
when free silver appeared. When the
Free Silver party got control of the gov
ernment, he said. the robbery Of thrift
for the benefit of idleness would cease.
Ex-Governor John Il. ST. John OF Kan
sas was called upon to speak. He told
how corn was worth 10 cents a bushel,
oats cents in Kansas. and potatoes 8
cents a bushel In Minnesota. This was
one cf the reasons so many farmers be-
Iieved In free silver. Free silver at 16 to I,
he declared, would sweep the nation.
The people had arisen and would defeat
"the corrupt gold power" But to do
this, a vast deal of missionary work must
be done. The speaker said that If all
the silver in the world was dumped in
this country and coyied 1t would make
$50 per capita. and that was not too much.
Should this be done, IL would make this
the most prosperous country in the
world.
