FOR THE GOLD STANDARD.
ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC HONEST MONEY
LEAGUE.

ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC HONEST MONEY
LEAGUE.
The Executive Committee Of the Democratic
Honest Money League Of America, at a meeting
held Friday night authorized the issuance OF
an address to Honest Money Democrats. and that
address made public last night. The enemies
of honest money and National honor, integrity and
safety, says the address seem TO assume that the
result Of tho late elections in many States Is an
Endorsement of the dangerous heresy Of free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio Of Is TO l.
The trainers Of the address deny that this con-
clusion can fairly be drawn. and believe that no
danger exists of the success Of the free silver
issue; but, In view OF the damaging effect upon
the business OF the country OF another serious
agitation OF the free silver question they deem II
wise TO take up again the work Of education
prosecuted last year by the league for the purpose
OF securing the election OF an honest money Con-
gress in 1886. The history OF the campaign Of 1896
Is reviewed in tho address, as well as the effective
educational work done by the league in several
States-a work which, the address says bore
good fruits this year in Maryland and Michigan"
Honest Money Democracy" the address asserts.
"holds in this country the balance Of power; II
requires but TO be organized. National safety and
National honor demand the fulflment Of this duty
at hands. II we move now as we moved In
1895 early convince the country that its
business interests are safe" The address urges
Democrats who last year. in a moment Of weak
ness followed false gods along the line Of regC-
larity," to return 20 their allegiance TO pure
Democracy. IL there is any lesson 10 be learned
from political experience the address goes on, IT
is never 10 underestimate the strength of an oppo-
nent Free silver was defeated in 1886. but II re-
ceived the support of almost one-half of the pop
ular vote; and DO crushed IT must be actively
opposed, not passvely contemplated The address
says. IN closing
We declare uneQuvotally for the gold standard
That standard alone car give stability to the
rency. in which the wages OF labor are paid. upon
which the savings Of our people. the investment OF
capital and the inylolabifty OF contract, public
and private, rest. The substitution Of silver
standard, which would directly result from the
free coinage of silver at 6 10 would destroy these
vast interests: b'mets llism. National interna-
tional Is neither possible nor desirable. 1t IS the
disguise Of the advocates Of the silver standard
O standard which to-day Is rejected by ali the
great commercial and financial nations OF the
world
We therefore confidently ask the co-operat ton
OF our State organizations In 1898 and OF allies
who contributed 10 the great victory Of 1876. the
same lines az we're then followed
The address bears the signatures Of JOHN Byrne.

Clarke. John J. Rooney and @. h. Sheppard, the

Washington Nov. 10 (Special).-Captain Thomas
II. Mckee, of Indiana journal clerk of the House
and ex-secretary OF the Republican Congressional
Committee presented some rather novel views to-
day TO Tribune correspondent on the question OF
Hawaiian annexation. He said:
II favor the policy of annexlng the Hawaiian
Islands. in addition to the ordinary reason OF
naval defence and protection Of our Pacific sea-
board because am good friend to the negroes
OF this country that | would want some place like
Hawaii, with its pleasant climate and fruitful
soil apart for the experiment OF solf-sustain-
ing community made up Of our colored fellow-citi-
zens where they would have the advantage Of
starting out with the civilization they have nc
Quired as race in this country, and where they
could work out for themselves the problem or
existence. without leaning too much on the white
people. ! would not admit Hawaii into the Union
as n State Immediately. Indeed, a stipulation that
1t should remain in a territorial condition for. say
not less than thirty years should be inserted in
the treaty Of annexation or joint resolution ms
adopted by Congress. 1t Is true that would not
bind any subsequent Congress desiring TO undo the
provision. AS a matter Of fact. rs | remember
o. the stipuaions inserted in the treaty OF
acquisition Of Louisiana was ever repealed Such
provisions Of safeguard would not he repealed
The islands will be ready for Statehood for
many years TO come
Another point In this matter. So far from the
policy of annexation OF territory within sphere
or the peace Of the world. l believe IT will have
just the contrary effect. As we grow TO be the
great dominating power of the hemisphere, the
European countries will form confederacy among
themselves for securing peace without the enor-
nous expenditure Of untold millions for ornaments
They can then afford TO dsarm all al once. We
should not In any circumstances by change Of
policy. going into the Pacific Ocean. increase the
prospect Of war with any other Power. Japan
