GREAT DAMAGE nv VIM

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 6.-Great damage
mas been done to the shipping interests
by the high wind of last night. The
wind still continues in gusts. The canal
boat May Saltwater, which was being
lowed up the river from Tonawanda,
broke her hawser and was blown on the
rocks along the shore. The captain was
rescued with a rope, but his mules were
crushed to death. The boat became to-
tai wreck.
The old excursion steamer Corona,
moored in Erie basin, broke loose and
was blown across the channel and lies
with bad list on some piles. Probably
she. has hole in her bottom, and she is
IN imminent danger of turning over
when the water subsidies.
The steam canal boat Delta and the
tug Chauncey came in late last night.
The Delta was half way between Delta
and Dunkirk when the storm struck her.
The lower Niagara river has been
storm-swept as has rarely happened be-
fore. The water has risen two feet,
Trolley and steam cars are run with diff
Guilty and peril.

THE CABINET MEETING.
The Presidents Message Discussed.
Gen. Lee at the White House.

Washington, Nov. G.-All of the mem
| bcrs of the cabinet except Secretary
| Francis were present today at the cab
met meeting and it is believed that the
subjects to be treated in the presidents
message were touched upon.
United States Consul General Lee
called at the state department shortly
after | o'clock today and word of his ar
rival being conveyed to Secretary Olney
at the White House the latter left the
cabinet meeting and came ut once to the
department. He received Gen. Lee in
his office and II long interview followed.
At the conclusion of his conference with
Secretary Olney, Gen. Lee went to
luncheon with Assistant Secretary Rock
hill, who is directly responsible for the
conduct of the consular business and so
was interested in what the consul gem
eral had to say of conditions in Cuba.
In the afternoon the consul general
went to the White House and paid his
respects to the president. His call there
was not long, so it is supposed he will
see the president again before he returns
to his post, to discuss Cuban affairs more
in detail. From what can be learned
Of the talk Gen. Lee had with his SUI
perior officer, it appears he left matters
in Cuba very quiet by comparison with
what has gone before. Confined closely
as he was to Havana, he was obliged
to rely upon the same reports as were
tclegraphed TO the United States for
news of what was going on in the field,
so that his views of the military situa-
ton was rather narrow.
OF course, he was better prepared to
discuss the economic aspect of the Cuban
question, and after all, this is likely to
figure as largely as any other factor III
the consideration of our relations.

MOVING THE GOLD.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Assistant Secre-

of currency will be shipped from sub

others where the demand is greater.

Another immense crowd met our

the course of his speech Mr.. Bryan
said;
"We have been able to consolidate
the sentiment of the people Of this
country so far as the Presidential can
didate is concerned, on one person. /
am grateful to those who have been
earnest In conviction, earnest enough
In desire to restore the standard coin

upon you, my friends, the Importance
Of leaving no stone unturned, leaving
no effort unemployed to secure this re-
suit toward which we all aim. While
appreciate the honor which has been
conferred upon me, not only by the
nomination of my own party, but by
the additional nomination Of two other

'My friends, l want to impress upon
your minds another thing; 1t is not only
necessary that we shall elect Presi-
dent and Vice President in favor of
free coinage, but it is necessary that
there shall be a Congress in favor
Of free coinage. The President
can sign no bill until that bill reaches
the White House, and before any bill
reaches the White House it must have
received the Endorsement Of majority
Of the members Of the House Of Repre-

Silver Redemption.
them.

SlIVeF heuompGlOns
Mr.. Carlisle'S letter, in which he an
nounces his intention to redeem silver
dollars in gold il he deems it is necessary,
was commented on iD these columns in
recent issue, but the following com.
ments taken from a recent speech made
by Mr.. Bryan so thoroughly cover the
matter that they are reprinted:
"Of all the public documents recently
issued the most important one is letter
just given to the public, written by the
Secretary OF the Treasury, Of which de-
sire to quote one sentence: 1T is the duty
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury and all
other public officials to execute in good
faith the policy declared by Congress-
and mark these words-'but whenever
he shall be satisfied that a silver dollar
cannot be kept equal in purchasing
power with a gold dollar except by re-
ceiving 1t in exchange for a gold dollar,
when such exchange is demanded, it will
be his duty to adopt that course
"In those words the Secretary Of the
Treasury tells you that when the Secre-
tary is satisfied that it is necessary he
will commence redeeming silver dollars in
gold. l call your attention to it because I
want to emphasize the deception that
has been practiced by this administra-
ton on the money question. When this
administration advised the repeal Of the
Sherman law you were told the repeal
would remedy the difficulty. AS soon as
the Sherman law was repealed the same
authority came to Congress with de-
mand that the greenbacks and treasury
notes must be retired by the issue OF
gold bonds in order to stop the drain on
the treasury's god, and now the treasury
informs you that, even il the greenbacks
and treasury notes were all retired, it
would be his duty, whenever, in his opin-
ion it became necessary, to redeem sill
YER dollars in gold and start another end
less chain that would drain the treasury.
According to the doctrine laid down
in Mr.. Carlisle's letter you cannot stop
the drain Of gold from the treasury until
you retire all the silver dollars and silver
certificates and leave nothing but gold
as the money in this country. I de-
nounce the policy as more cruel and
heartless than political Nominations Of
foreign power. l would rather, as some
one has said, would rather put our
army in the hands OF foreign general
or our navy in the command Of foreign
admiral than to put the Treasury De-
partment in the hands of Secretary
who would barter it away. ] would re-
Sist such financial policy with as much
e9rnestness as l would resist the progress
OF an invading army coming to attack
our homes.
"Does the administration know that
when it starts TO redeem silver dollars in
gold it will start another endless chain
that will drain the treasury indefinitely
and increase the bonded debt without
limit unless they retire all the silver dol
lars and substitute bonds in their place.
II they do not know, my friends, they
must confess themselves ignorant OF the
finances Of this country, and il they
know and will not tell the people then
we have q right to distrust their candor
and frRnkness when they deal with the

6. Establishing a system Of National

7. Why you demonetized silver in
1873 when it was at q premium over

s. Why you called the greenbaCk
currency rag baby money" and failed
to tell the people what kind Of money
National bank notes are
8. Why you deriGed the friends Of
greenbacks as wanting to "print the
government to DEATH" but kept silent
about what you were wanting to &C.
complish while running another print
ing machine in the interest Of National
banks.
Your former refuge behind the names
Of, Lincoln, Sumner, Seward, Chase and
others will no longer avail you. The
same game of cunning was played by
the Shareholders, when they charged
that any intlmation that chsttel slavery
was wrong was a shameful reflection
upon the honesty and integrity Of the
Washingtons, Henrys, Gallatins and
Lees, and other men Of eminence who
were slave owners. The falchion Of
reason failed to reach the think boxes OF
the slsveholdlng sristocracy, but the
swords of the boys in blue were quite
successful.
The acts in our monetary system, re-
ferred to in the foregoing, are, under
the circumstances they were perpetrated
and instigRted, not by the masses Of the
Republican or Democratic parties, but
by goldite money pirates, constitute the
blackest and most foul and most devilish
crimes ever perpetrsted upon a civilized
people since the dawn Of history. The
masses were deceived into scquiescence
by hired and purchased press, and the
perpetrators marched behind the shield
of bloody-shirtism, sectional hate and
those intense partisan feelings that
are ever the result of war. But they
will screen the diabolism of goldocrscy
on American soil no longer. Gods
judgment is coming, and the gold. bug
toryites of our country must now stand
up and defend their history or pedigree
in the forum Of a calm, unbiased and
unprejudiCed citizenship. The National
conscience is awakening to these heinous
wrongs that have we'll nigh destroyed
q republican form of government and
reduced the people to a mere condition
Of tribute payers to horde Of rapscious
masters, and, Mr.. Goldites, you are
