The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-06-25

ocratic state convention was called to
order to-day by NJ. A. Smalley. Col.
w. A. Taylor was made temporary
chairman. In a lengthy keynote speech
he did not refer to anything except the
silver question. After giving q history
OF the unsuccessful efforts for free sill
yer at former democratic state con-
ventions In Ohio and reviewing elo-
quently the contest of the past few
days In the state, he closed as follows:
There is but one great issue before
the American people compared with
which other issues are as molehills
with Q mountain. and that 10 the issue
between the American people and the
allied money powers of the world.
Whether the metallic basis of our cur
rency shall be 20 compressed and con-
secrated that 1t may be held by the
few to the detriment, debasement and
enslavement OF the many. or whether
the products OF our mines shall be used
to tie the fetters that have closed up
the channels of commerce, until our
harvests have become almost a mock
cry, intensified by their plentitude.
Upon this question, you are to make o
deliverance. in plain. teIse and unmis-
taxable terms. You have been in
structed thereto from every county.
from every city, from every town, from
every hamlet. from every crossroads
and from the shadow Of every school
house In Ohio. For weeks every
zephyr which has blown from every
corner OF the state to this convention
has borne one unvarying message: The
free and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio Of l6 to l without
anv other nation on Earth, That h.
