ANNUAL CONVENTION
The American Federation of
Labor meets in Kansas City,
December ~,
A Lively Session Looked For.-
Opposition From the
=" West.

The annual convention of the
A. F. Of L. convenes in Kansas
City, Mo-, Monday, December
II. 1t, no doubt, will be the
liveliest in the history of the
organization. Many matters
will come up that will be stub
bornly fought. Gompers will
undoubtedly succeed himself
although there is we'll organ
lied effort to oust him. The
opposition comes from the
west and tremendous effort
will be made to down the pres
ent official head. The western
organizations are numeror j.
but those of the east, with
their large membership, will
no doubt hold the balance Of
power as in the past.
One Of the things to be CON
sidered will be the adoption Of
a universalllabel. That is, one 4
design or label to be used by
all organizations of the United
States. This plan was adopted
by the national typographical
union at the meeting held in
Syracuse in October. The op-
position to this movement will
possibly come from the cigar
makers. The cigarmahers
union is the. ori ginat5oor Is ST the
union label. The members,
have fought long; spent thous-
ands of dollars and suffered
much for the blue label. It has
become endeared to every
member of the craft and to dis
card it for another can not
@hardly De expected to be cone
sidered by them.
Another important matter
will be the recommendation Of
the executive board for all affil-
lated bodies to declare war on
the Brotherhood of Painters
and Decorators of America and
it's affiliated unions.
The most important resolu-
tion asking for adoption, and
one which will bring out the
most bitter opposition, will be
presented by the Central Labor
union, Of Cleveland, Ohio. It,
is as follows:
@ WHEREAS, The means of production.
and distribution are at present in con-

mont of the workers, and as it has been:

silver worthless as a money. ,
What was the next move on
the silver question?
To satisfy the claimants for
silver the Bland Act was passed
in 1873, which authorized the
coinage of not less than two
nor more than four million dol
lars per month. The next move
was the repeal of the Bland Act
and the passage of the Sherman
law, which authorized the pur-
chase of 100000 ounces of sill
yer monthly.
Did the Sherman law restore
free coinage of silver ? r.,
No. It simply made it pos
sible for the silver miners to
sell to the government that
amount per month, but they
were not allowed, after the de-
monetization of 1873, to bring
their silver to the mint and have
it coined on their own account.
What was the next move in
the silver: agitation
In 1892 the government hav-
ing about So per person in the
United States of silver coin,
some So per person more than
could be circulated, the Ma
tional Bankers association of
the United States sent out from
New York a circular to bankers
in all parts Of the country ask
ing them to use their influence
with local newspapersland con
gressmen to secure a repeal of
the Sherman law.
What was the effect of this
circular?
ltresulted in widespread agi-
tation Of the subject Of silver,
and frightened 50 many people
Int ossrunnin s on the banks as
: 5st II , 4 T
to cause IA Of them in the
United States to fail in the first
eight months of 1893. Never
theless the Sherman law was
repealed in 1893, the hope being
that that would stop further
agitation of the money ques-
tion, that money conditions
would become settled and pros
perity be resumed, hope that
was not realized. "
i Have we remonetizeds silver? !?
Yes. We can pay any debt Of
any amount in silver, but we
have not restored free COMA ge,
nor any coinage, except the
coinage Of some silver bullion
from time to time that was pur-
chased under the Sherman Act.
We are not buying any more
silver for coinage purposes.

HACKNEYED SUBJECT
A Fow Questions About Silver
1 Answered for tho Benefit
of Readers.
Some Penple arc Still Wanting
to Know "tvhat is Meant
by Free Silver"

h. What is meant by the term
free silver?
It is that the miner or Other
person may go to the United
States with silver bullion and
have it coined free of charge.
What shall be done with the
silver thus coined from the bul
lion :?
The miner may take the coin
away with, him and do with il
what he pleases. Thus if he
brings in 100 pounds of silver
bullion he can take away .10C
pounds Of silver dollars.
What is silver bullion /.
Bullion is the metal in any
Eshape before it is coined. Thus
old silver spoons, watch cases,
battered silvercoins, silver bars
silver in any shape are all
|.silver bullion.
/ What is meant by 16 to 1?
In 1892 our government fixed
the ratio between silver and
Egold at 15|to /, the expense and
labor Of obtaining pound Of
gold being supposed tosbe equal
to getting fifteen pounds Of sill
Iver. In 1884 we changed. the
l|weight Of ten dollar gold coins
from. 2 7411a grains to 22333 grains
spare gold, wll1iicl ii ,si1l. q eon1p p,aD:iion
with the pure silver in the dol
lar, made the ratio Is to lin
Estead Of 10 to L. s...
How long did we continue the
ratio of Is to / :?
From 1884 to 1873, thirty-nine
years.
What was done about silver
in 1873? "
Our government demone-
tized it !?
What do you mean by de
monetized it" .@.
\. Decentralization is the chang
ing a value by restricting the
coinage, use and circulation OF
! a certain metal. Thus in 1873
| it was resolved by govern
mental authority to stop the
further coinage of silver. The
consequence was that silver
|'bullion, which before 1873 was
worth per pound as much as
silver coin per pound, became
Ia. commodity and shrunk in
value until today the silver in
a. dollar can be purchased for
about 80 cents. r..
Would pounding a silver dol
lar change it's value ?
81 Yes. If you battered 1t con-
siderably, so that it would not
pass as money, it's value would
drop to so cents. The effect of
demonetizing silver in 1873 was
this. Before demonetization if
an individual had$1OOin silver
in one pile and 500 in gold in
another pile and fire had oc-
Cured the metal though melted
and run together in each case
if@taken to the mint would have
yielded the owner 500. After
demonetization the mass of
melted gold would yield 500
but the silver would yield but
about $50.
How did congress demone-
tie silver in 1873? They en-
acted a law by which they were
to coin no more silver, and debts
exceeding $50 in amount were
to be paid in gold or paper
money.
What was the object in de-
monetizing silver?
The alleged cause was the
fear that the great amount of
silver then in the country and
the facilities for rapidly taking
it from the mines would pro-
