Parkersharg. W. Va, July 21-Ths
largest convention evsr held in this state
began here at Ii o'clock today Senator
Elklns. the temporary chairman. received
an ovation lasting several minutes. he
spoke about an hour. sounding tho key
note of the West Virginia campaign
Protection. he said. was the moss I'M
portant Issue IN this state.
Senator EEkins discussed the tari1 and
silver questions at length. After show
Ing how the newly-developed industries
OF West Virginia had been depressed
since 1ss2. he produced statistics in favor
Of protection as the most important is
sue for the development of the natural
resources Of the mountain state. The
St. Louis platform favored protection and
sound money, the latter being also of
vital Importance 10 the business interests
OF the growing state He said: 1T can
safely bs said that the advocates Of
free silver fat money, regulators OF OBJ
legations and contracts. enemies OF tho
courts. those opposed to sound money
and against maintaining the national
credit. those opposed to the rights of
property. the socialist. communist. an
archist, can all with equal consistency
stand on and support the Chicago plat
form adopted by the new Democratic
party. Free government cannot exist
with these forces IN the ascendency. The
party that adopts such platform Is get
ting ready to die. or the republic Is.
III this platform had stopped At q dec
laruion for q tariff for revenue. for free
silver. ETC., and Dick Bland or some other
oId-fashioned Democrat had been nomi-
mated. Ii would not have been so bad, bur
when the platform favors restriction upon
the freedom Of contracts. attacks the Fed
eral courts and opposes the protection OF
United States property by Federal power.
malice, viciousness and anarchy become
too visible and the purposes Of the new
Democracy are uncovered"
Senator E!kins introduced his argument
against free coinage a. follows: IT have
been . producer OF s.lver Cor over sixteen
yearA Naturally ! am It's friend and
favor its largest possible use as money.
consistent with sound and stable currency.
My interest would incline me to favor the
free coinage Of silver II could see that
II was practicable or possible. or that IL
rested upon any sound principles. The
people now aginting the silver question
and deman<f.1g its free and unlimited coin
age at IS to /. when silver Is only worth
81 TO /. are It's worst enemies. apart from
the injury IL would co TO the country. I
did not favor the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, because I felt, as a friend
OF silver and a citizen, that II would In
crease the production Of silver and there
BY lessen It's value IN the markets and
destroy confidence IN 1t as sound money.
This was the result"
Senator Eikins then argued that the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver would
not only drive gold out OF circulation and
cerrrorallze business. but tina. II would also
debase the white metal. 90 as 20 finally
destroy Il as money.
