Washington, Nov. 9.-The campaign
for the free coinage Of silver Will p'
waged with vigor during the next four
years in preparation for the erection
In 1900 The directors Of the Ameri-
can Bimetallic Union, who cohsutu'e
the bulk OF the silver leaders IN the
three parties. have decided to maihtaih
headquarters In this city, from whici
to send out literature. The branch OF
flee at Chicago will be consolidated
with the Washington office. Dut thf
San Francisco branch Is to be cohufi-
ued. At the request OF the directors
General A. ]. Warner. the president o,
the union. has issued the following au-
dress to the Silver League ana biihe-
tallic Unions of the United States:
"Silver has lost in this election, put
the battle for the overthrow OF the
gold standard has not ended. Ihe us
astrous results that must attehu up
on the continuance Of this standara
make 1t impossible to relinGuish tne
struggle against 1t until 1t Is hnahy
overthrOwn.
"The gold standard cannot be mann
tanned by increasing the revenues pe-
cause revenues are not paid IN eoiu.
The attempt to maintain the goid
standard by perpetual loans must al
go sooner or later fail. The only other
way Is by contracting the currency
and forcing prices so low that so'n
will come here of itself in such guam
titles as to constitute, in part AT least
the currency with which revenues are
paid, and no debtor nation can ions
maintain such policy. Either course
| therefore leads to inevitable rum. the
one by bankrupting the government
! and the other by bankrupting the peo'
ple. Either policy will subject the
United States absolutely TO BRUSH
domination and hence the rejoicing Oh
the British press over the defeat OF sii
yer here.
."The victory for gold is n victory oil
trusts and syndicated wealth, brough'
about by corruption and coercion. ahe
not a victory OF the people or FOR tht
people, and it cannot last. The:'
must be an end also to the constan
appreciation of money. The apprecid

wealth of this country from those VIII

"The battle, therefore, for the res

abatement; and 1 urge upon all silve
and bimetallist leagues and unions I,
keep up their organization and to con
tinue the fight till victory for the pee
