organise the company constituting the
trust. The persons present at the meet-
ing refused to talk further than to s«y

decided upon. Assistant Corporation
Couusel Darrow said he could not see
that the decision will hurt ths trust to
any great extent They still retain their
monopoly and the municipal control of
tbe gas works is the only solution of the
question. As ststed by Mr. Darrow the
gaa trust people have complete monopolv

gas companies but are also chief stock<
holders in the company organized to

brought suit several months ago against

some highly exciting features, among
which was the production of a paper by
strong, which if genuine, would show
tbat Butler had agreed to accept for bis
services in amount much lower than that
nsmed in tbe suit. Butler den >unc.ed the
document as a forgery and tbe suit for

St. Loots. Nov. 27.—At the tilvcr com
vention this morniDg Delegate Morse of
! Colorado Introduced tbe following:
'. Ruaolved. Ti»~» —- —J ..
atives in congress are hereby requested
to establish a unit for the coinage of sil-
ver with tbe South American states that
suall make silver coin puss current on
par with gold in all the Americas of the
western hemisphere; tbat they also be
requested to op -n negotiations with the
congress of all Americas now in session
for tbe building of a railroad from the
United States through tue states of South
America.
After a lively discussion it was referred
to tbe committee on resolutions.
A number of resolutions were offered in
rapid succession and all were referred to
the committee on resolutions
A p*per from John Thompson, vice
president of tbe Chase National Bank
of New York, was then read. It
was tbe judgment of Thompson
tbat a movement for a more liberal use of
silver in our currency supply should be
gradual. First secure tbe coinage of a
maximum of 'our million per month and
see tbe results produced under that augs,
meuted coinage. Inhiade iberaie judg-
ment tht-i augmented coinage would pave
tbe w»y for tbe adoption of free
co nsge by acchmation. The paper
continued, with the demonitization
of si ver began an era of contraction apt
perhaps shown by the aggregate in the
figures of outstanding currency, but by
tbe disproportion between the increase of
currency and the business of the country
which has increased out of all proportion
to the erowth of our aggregate circulat-
ing medium Of the mass of
gold in tbe country obtained
since resumption, some two hundred mil-
lion dollars is kept in tbe treasury and is
virtually no part of the working curren-
cy Itisomy drawn out when used for
foreign shipments. Our working curren-
cy consists orMegul teuder notes, silver
colu aud silver fertiflcates, ana the latter
do not now increase as fast ss national
bank notes are received therefore. It can
truthfully be said tbe stock of currency
that does the work of the country is
slowly hut surely dimishing, white busi-
ness demands upon it are steadily in-
creasing. Thus there have been two in-
fluences at work tending to increase tbe
measuring power of the money in the
Union and a consequent depreciation
of property is one of the general effects
of the demonitization of s'lver. The
other is a < outraction of the particular
kind of currency used, while our dollars
are of silver. Silver certificates are based
upon tbem and so far both these dollars
and tbe r representatives have been re-
siricted in amount and kept on a gold
basis by the policy that has favored
gold. The monometallic standard by the
demonitization of silver has been and is
a wicked preference given to the credi-
tor over the debtor ciasaes of our popu-
lation, and it is preference that is driv-
ing our middle crlasses into poverty and
enabling millionaires to multiply
their millions, Nothiog in my
opinion will save our peo-
ple from a social revolution so surelv
as a full remonetjzation of silver anclk
giving it all the advantages we now giveO
to gold. both in law and in the ruling of
our treasury department. A monogold
standard is tbe stepping stone to anarchy,
nay, it is more, it is a flight of stairs
leading to tbe chamber of horrors of
bankruptcy, panics, suicide, repudiation,
and universal poverty, among all
tbe real wealth producers.
The following n solution offered
by Jacks of California, was witn cheers
referred under tbe rule:
Whereas, Wall street and eastern bond
holders are now actually at work striving
to e ect a speaker for tbe approaching
congress, whose record freely opposed
silver interest; and whereas representa-
tives in congress should be servants of
the people; and whereas this great con-
vention shows unanimity of public opin-
ion in the western and southern states and
territories in favor of more coinage
of silver, therefore be it resolved that ths
western and southern representatives in
congress be requested to support same
friend of silver for the speakership of the
present house of representatives, and that
their failure to do so will be a betrayal of
the people, and warrant their political
d*ath.
The chairman then announced the con-
vention would be addressed by congress-
man R P Bland of Missouri, Mr. Bland
was received wi h a storm of applause
and addressed the convention at some
length. After listening to the paper on
the silver question from Thos Jordan,
editor of tbe N*w York Mining Record,
the convention took a recess untill 2:80
p. m.
In the course of his speech he said the
free coinage of silver will settle the ques-
tion and greatly relieve the poor. The
only question with the metalistt la oar
{.country is whether we should at once xm
peal our demonitization laws or wait for
the concarrence of other powers laclad-.
ing Great Britain. It to a aigniflxat fact
