A STAMPEDE TO INTERNATIONAL
AGREEMENT

Already the goldbug press of the east
is beginning to fill up with news indicat-
ing the rapid approach of an interna-
tiona1 bimetallic agreement. Since Mr.
Whitney determined to abandon his trip
to Europe several great nations have
been brought into line. The New York
World of Tuesday has strong evidence
tending to show that France is getting
impatient. During the next few days
we expect to witness the coming over of
Germany, Russia, Austria and several
other minor governments, and about the
time the Chicago convention meets, I'M
less the president stirs up scrap with
Spain and has his warships otherwise
engaged, we may expect to be Informed
by the World and Herald and other
lesser lights that the entire naval force
of Uncle Sam has been called into SER
vice to prevent England from landing q
squadron in New York and levying a
very large tribute on the city unless the
United States peremptorily agrees ito
join her Britannia majesty in an inter-
national bimetallic agreement. o, yes,
International agreement is In the air. It
will grow thick and fast during the next
two weeks. ~
The patriotic New Workers have sized
the south up and feel confident that by
using the force bill racket and the inter-
national agreement myth they can easily
swing the delegates from this section to
Chicago into line.

THE REGENTS REFUSED.
Request of War Department for New Yorl
Revolutionary Rolls

Request of War Department for New York's
Revolutionary Rolls.
Albany, N. Y. June 25.--Some months
ago request for the loan of the revolu-
tionary muster rolls of New York state
to the war department of the national
government was made through Governor
Morton to the state board of regents.
Today it leaked out that the regents at
their-meeting yesterday had refused to
loan the rolls. The request was made on
the governor by Lieutenant Colonel
Ainsworth. who has charge of collecting
revolutionary data for the national gov
ernnNent, and was referred to the regents
because they are custodians of the state
revolutionary records. The resolution
providing for the loan of the rolls was
unanimously voted down by the regents
on the ground that 1t would establish
bad precedent, and colleges and other
states would follow with requests for tha
loan of the data. The regents agreed
to allow Lieutenant Colonel Ainsworth
access to these muster rolls II he would
send corps of persons to Albany to
ten that this Is impossible. as he has nc
available appropriation to do the work
in this manner. Unless the regents re-
cede from their position the national his
tory of the revolutionary records, which
is being compiled in Washington, will be
printed without the revolutionary data
including the muster rolls of New York
state The other twelve original states
have already loaned their records to the
war department, and the copy Is said to
be nearly ready to go to the printer.

SILVER PROPAGANDA STARTED,

L
The following special telegram from
Chicago appeared in the New York Jour-
nal a few days ago, and shows that the
laboring people of-the east are going to
be worked among in the interest of free
coinage. The contest between the peo-
pie and the money power is starting off
in earnest:
western silver men are organizing a
propaganda movement for work among
the Iaboring people of the east. The
first delegation has reached Chicago,
and will give the next six weeks to agi-
city. 1t was sent out by the Trade and
Labor assembly of Butte, Mont. Its
leader is M. j. Elliott, member of the
executive committee of the American
Railway union, who spent three months
in Jail with Debs and his fellow officers
at Woodstock. The other members of
the propaganda are Daniel Mcdonald,
b. M. Lindsey and M. j. Geiger.
1.-THE four members visited the Central
Labor congress Monday afternoon. and
Mr.. Elliott made a short address, in
which he said:
1--WE are not emissaries of the so-called
silver barons, but the representatives of
workingmen of the west. We are here
to show to the laboring people of the east
that free coinage of silver means ample
money with which to conduct the BUSH
ness of the country. We want more
money-moneys that will enable this
country to move it's products and give
work to idle hands"

HAS THE RIGHT RING.

In the New York World of Wednesday
appeared the following reply to Mr..
Whitneys open letter by Gov. Horace
Boies. 1t has the right ring about it,
and leaves no doubt about how the can
didate from Iowa for the democratic
nomination for president stands on the
great financial question. If Governor
Boies secures the nomination at Chicago
on platform declaring for free coinage
at 16 to no advocate of true bimetai-
iism can offer any excuse for withhold
ing his support from the ticket. There
will be no doubt about the man or the
platform, and that is what the people
want. They got the platform In 1899,
while the money changers got the cam
didate. AS a result the people have suf-
.fered. but they have learned valuable
lesson. and it will be long time before
such a thing can be put on on them
again:

ably gives correctly and In most forcible
