An important meeting Of represent
atives of the West Virginia military
organizations which fought in the late
war was held last evening in Egerter's
hall to take under consideration the
project of so widening the scope of the
present consolidated organizations as
to take in all the regiments and batter
les recruited within the limits of the
present State of West Virginia for SER
vice in the war of the rebellion. There
was quite a large and representative
attendance, but owing to the fact that
proportion Of those present had not
been supplied with proper credentials
no definite action was taken, and after
discussion of the ideas advanced and
the benefits to accrue, the meeting ad-
journed to reassemble at the call of the
chair
The original organization, which it is
now proposed to extend so as 10 take
IN all West Virginia organizations, was
formed years ago by the First Virginia
iee4men, OIL lnlanTy, being known as
the Society OF the First Virginia regi-
ment, and the main object was to make
possible an annual reunion for social
and patriotic purposes. After a time
Battery D joined the organization, then
the Twelfth infantry came in, later
sill Battery II, and then in turn the
Fifteenth Virginia infantry and the
First cavalry Now those at the head
of the organization, aided by gentle
men who take a deep interest in all
pertaining to the veteran soldiers from
this State, propose to extend the So
ciety so as to take in all the remaining
West Virginia infantry, cavalry and
battery organizations, thus forming
virtually a Society of West Virginia
veteran soldiers.
The organization of this Society will
probably be consummaJed at the next
meeting, and preparations made for a
reunion of all the old soldiers in the
State All the organizations above
named have appointed committees to
see that the purpose here indicated is
accomplished and it will undoubtedly
be the success it deserves to be.

A temporary organization was effected
by calling Geo. Lutz, Esq, to the chair.
One Of the first things to be done is
the selection Of an attorney, and as but
three members were present, it was
thought best to defer that and the per-

resolution to this effect was carried,
and the Clerk was instructed to send a

mittee, apprizing them OF the necessity

THE TARIFF AND SILVER.
Which is the More Important
Issue.
Some Points In this Connection Which
are Worth Considering.

The republican party is full OF free
coinage men, and the party leaders are
stralnlng every nerve to hold them
within the lines on tile '"protectlon'
idea. From every housetoD these lead
ers are shouting that all we need to re-
store prosperity is high protective
tariff. In season and out, it is declared
that the Wilson German tariff is the
cause OF all our woes, and if We can only
revise the tariff on republican lines
business will once more "bOom."
In this connection it is well for free
silver republicans to doa little indepen-
dent thinking and pay some attention
to the chronological order OF events.
Immediately after the demonetization
OF silver in 1879, prices began to fall and
business began to drop. The whole
period from 1873 to 1893 was one OF
quite'general depression, relieved only
by flashes OF temporary prosperity after
the passage OF the Bland act in 1878,
and the "Sherman Law" in 1890. And
yet that enIi e leriOd was one OF
high protection. Whatever OF prosper
ity the country enjoyed during the Har-
rison administration was owing to the
SHERMAN Law" and not to the Me-
Kinley Bill" The former measure di-
rectly relieved the monetary stringency
which was then setting in, and kept the
business OF the country running smooth
ly when England and other gold stand
ard countries were convulsed. The
Sherman notes filled the void caused by
the export OF gold, prevented prices
from falling as they otherwise would
and fairly sustaining the business oi
the country until about the close OF
Harrison's administration. The only
trouble with the Sherman Law" was
that it was not big enough to altogether
neutralize the effect OF silver demoneti.
zation in both Europe and America.
Let us glance now at the immediate
cause OF the present depression. TC
what extent was the repeal OF the Nc
Kinley law and the enactment OF tn,
Wilson-Gorman law rcponsible? 1t
answer to this query it can be safely at
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1896-06-17


With lhe'closing OF the East India mint
in June, 1893, silver fell more than 20
per cent, and prices OF general commo-
dties dropped almost in the same ratio.
Unable To continue operations in the
face OF such shrinkage OF values, and
with banking credit shut off, thousands
OF manufacturing establishmentsshared
the laie OF the weaker banks, and thou
sands more just Stopped" Mr.. Cleve-
land called Congress together in extra
session to repeal the SHERMAN Law"
and the republicans periodically swal-
lowed their principles and helped him
do it, Mr.. Sherman, in urging the SEN
ate to come to vote, said that ii it did
so "in ten days the skies will brighten,
business will resume its Ordinary course,
and the clouds that lower upon our
house will be in the deep bosom OF the
ocean buried"
Such language by the republican
leader in the senate plainly negatives
the idea that fear OF tariff changes was
the cause OF the trouble; lor according
to him we were going to have good
times inst as soon as the law which bore
his name was repealed. And this Was
the bright promise OF every great mon
ey center in the country.
The panic was actually started by the
bankers in their intense desire to force
the repeal OF that law and bring the
country squarely to the gold standard.
1t was identified by the closing OF the
East Indian mint, beating down the
market price OF silver and the prices oi
commodities at the same time. IL was
made still more severe by the repeating
act itself, which shut off our supply Oi
money.
The panic in the United States was
the same in kind and character rs those
which had struck Europe and Austria
liza, save that for several reasons it was
mora severe. Ours being the great
debtor nation OF the world, when the
scramble Tor gold began the pressure
was naturally concentrated upon us.
Then it reached us almost coincidently
with the closing OF the East India mint,
the fall OF silver, and decline OF prices
referred to oaLove. In the face OF CON
stantly shrinking values is was imposi-
sibe ior individuals to meet their Iia-
bilities, there was no encouragement
for men to start new enterprises, and rs

nrmed That the tarllt legislation which
followed the accession OF Mr.. Cleveland
had little or nothing to do with it. In
the first place, it must be remenI bered
that he was elected in November, 1892,
and that the tarFEr revision was scarce
ly begun until 1894, while the year was
well advanced before it was finally en.
acted into law. secondly, the panic
came in the early spring OF 1898 year
and three months before the Mckinley
law was repealed. Surely, it will not
be seriously claimed that the Wilson
German law enected August 27, 1894,
was the cause OF Il great panic fifteen
months before that date. fit be said
that fear OF anticipated tariff changes
was the cause, the answer il that it did
not come soon enough; for immediate
ly after Mr.. Cleveand's election in No
vember, 1892, it was known that both
houses OF Congress would be democra-
tic, and that a tariff revision was GER
tain to come. But the panic did not
come for six months. Moreover, ii the
panic had been the result OF such a fear
it would have begun with the manu-.
iacturers, which everybody knows was
not the case. 1t began with the bank.
ers and was essentially a banker
panic" There was not a leading finan.
cler in the country, either republican OF
democrat, who even pretended that the
tariff had anything whatever to do with
it. The SHERMAN Law" was alleged t
be the cause, and the whole power o
the great money centers was brought
to bear to force the repeal OF that sob
noxious" measure. That law whicl
was adding S4,000,000 OF new currency
