| DENVER, Col, July Ex-senator Tel
Ter and eleven of his associates, who
| left the national republican oconven
! ton, last evening made public an ad
dress to the silver republicans of the
country, setting forth their views of the
situation. In addition to those signing
the address, Senator sPettigrew, Of
! South Dakota, and Senator Cannon, Of
Utah. are declared to be in sympathy
. with it, although Senator Cannon wa.
not present at the conference owing
! to business engagements in Boston.
the address is very lengthy. 1t say,
| among other things:
l. To those who believe in bimeralliSm, which
! means the equal treatment of both gold and
silver ct the minis of the nation. there is bu'
one course to pursue and that is 20 unite all
the silver forces and to oppose with all our
might the candidate representing the policy
! which we believe is frought with disaster to
the nation and ruin to the people.
Gold recommendation means the shifting to
gold alone. as primary money, all the burdens
of commerce and credit formerly borne by gold
and silver, and as the worlds stock OF these
metals has always been about equal in amount,
| it means the doubling of the burden upon gold.
Doubling the burden upon gold NEAR oubling
/ the demand for the same, and doubling the de-
mand. OF necessity, doubles the value thereof
That the condition of the country is not sat-
isfactery, all admit. The producers of wealth
are not receiving fair and proper compensa-
ton for their, labor. whether in field. factory
or mine: enterprise has ceased; values are
| constantly declining: labor is unemployed:
discomfort and distress prevail to an extent
never before known in the history of this
country. and no reason can be found for such
an unhappy condition save in q vicious none
tary system.
Those who profess to deplore the present
! financial condition and oppose the free coinage
of silver are divided in opinion as to the cause
of the present condition. Some declare that it
is because we have too much tariff: others that
we have not enough, while the fact exists that
every gold standard country in the world,
whether it has high or low tariff, is now and
has been during recent years, in the throeS OF
financial panic: and every silver standard
country com pared with its former condition, is
enjoying an industrial development and degree
of prosperity hitherto unknown in its history.
While thus differing in opinion, they unite in
asserting that the gold standard must be main
tanned until foreign countries shall signify
their willingness that the American people
shall exercise the rights of free men and create
financial system of their own.
No one who has read the proceedings of the
three international monetary conferences that
have already been held, or who has examined
the impracticab!e propositions presented at
those conferences. can for moment believe
that any international bimetallic agreement
can ever be made with the consent of all the
leading commercial nations of the world
There is no hope for international bimetal-
ism until the United States shall establish
bimetallism for itself. and when that is done
international bimetallism may be secured with
out the consent Of Great Britain.
The address then goes on to commend
the support of the Chicago ticket for
the betterment of the distressed con-
dition of the country and SAYS:
This is a critical period in our national his
tory. Our industry and financial independ.
ence of other nations and peoples is involved
in this campaign. and we firmly believe there
will be no return of prosperity until shall
have changed our financial system so as to re-
store the bimetallic system established by the
fathers of the republic
