UNION VETERANS PROTEST.

Hancock Command Passes Resolu-
tions on the Richmond Affair.
| AT the regular meeting OF Hancock
| Command No. l, U. V. L.. Thursday even
| ing. July Z. tie following preamble and
resolutions were authorized to be pub
| lisiied:
Whereas on last Tuesday several
| bodies or inen, inc,ud.pg .ne or more
organizations of .ex-Gonfederate soldiers.
| paraded the streets OF this city. en- route
TO Richmond, to nold a Confederate re-
| union and honor the memory OF the Presi-
dent OF the Confederate states of Amer
ica. purpose which necessarily CARRIE
with IL the honorihg of the principle or
| secession.
Therefore be it resolved. That the dis
playing of the flag of the United States.
lne emblem OF an indivisible Union, in
that parade was a gross and offensive
departure from tbe proper uses of that
flag.
Resolved, further, That the members OF
W. {. Hancock Command. emulating t.>
generous spirit of the great soldier Whose
cit bears, has always cultivated and
siIal coN inue to cultivate a warm per-
sonal friendship for tbuse who confronted
them in battle array in the late war of
tue rebellion.
W. s. Hancock's command comedies to
them, without prejudice TO their rights
and tmmunities as American citizens, the
entertainment of the faith that is within
them. Nothing impossible is dema nded
Of them. Though it has been desirable for
them to believe In the principle of an
lndivisible union, HanCock's com n and has
never sought to hold a.sword over Them
and say, y,:bel1eve or die.' But Hancock
com mand feels constra ined to express
publicly display in the streets of this
Capital City by speech and emblem, their
adhesion TO the principle of secession, a re
unmindful of the sacred obligations i'm
posed by the soldier settlement at APP
pomattox. Entertain lining belief Is one
thing, attempts to propagate that be-
lief, after assurances to the contrary, is
quite another thing.
For Confederates to decorate their per-
sons with emblems Of an indivisible Union,
and at the same time bear aloft the ban
ner of secession; for them to honor b..
word or mouth (as was the case at Rich
mon0 q disabled Union soldier, while yet
they Haunted in his face intimations that
he fought for an unjust cause, is on its
face an absurdity. The principle which
the Union flag and Union soldiers, as such,
represent on the one hand, and the principle
which the Confederate flag and Confederate
soldiers, as such, represent on the other
hand, can no more unite without combustion
than can powder and fire.
Union and Confederate soldiers learned
To concede to each other courage and
honesty of purpose during the war, but
these are as nothing compared to the
causes for which they fought. The crown
ing glory of the Union soldier is inseper-
able from the cause ofthe nation for which
he fought, and he cannot, without the
sacrifice of his soldiers honor, unite with
Confederates in any public demonstrations
which do not recog gnize the iustness of that
cause to the fullest extent.

The public revenues have fallen, wages Of labor

earth has fallen except taxes and debts, which
have grown in burden, while on the other hand
the means OF their liquidation has been dimin-

But the people now do well know that the

to enhance the purchasing power of thousands

that this, the foremost, richest and most power.
full nation Of the world cannot coin its own
money without suing for an international
agreement at the courts OF European autocrats
who have none but primary interests to sub
serve, has for many years been held out at
every presidential election. To wait longer
upon them is to ignore the interests of our own
people and degrade our national dignity and to
advertise to all mankind our impotence and
our folly.
The majority of this convention maintain
that this great American nation with natural
base Of fixed empire, the greatest ever estab.
lished by man, with more territory and more
productive energy than Great Britain, France
and Germany combined, without dependence
upon European nations for anything that they
produce, and with European nations dependent
upon much that we produce, is fully capable Of
restoring this constitutional money system Of
gold and silver at equality with each other.
And as our fathers in 1778 declared our ma

has the great Democratic party appeared here
in Chicago to declare the financial independence
