'HAT WE WANT, IS YOUB ORDERS.”
Pertlo Springs, Mo., Aug. 6 - Frse
silver cot qaered iu Missouri, ss it did
la llltaoif, aad the so called gold
or sound money advocates we*e so
overwhelmed by superior generalship
and the numerical strength of the free
silver leaders and forces that they
made bat a very faint effort to stay the
onslanght of the white metalists.
Bltnd said at the opening of tbeoon
vention that the Democrats of Mis-
souri bad assembled to adopt rasoin
tions for the free oolnage of silver, to
select a state committee which wonld
be in sympathy with the popular will,
and how well hts prophesy was carried
out the resa't of today’s convention
tells.
The report of the oommittee on per
manent organization, which practically
snows under the old committee, was
adopted wiih but one or two dissenting
voices.
The report of the resolutions com
mittee calls for free and no limited
coinage at 16 to 1, regardless of any
foreign natioD, was carried with a
hnrrab, and sooh expedition was eel
dom seen in any convention. Farther
more, men were selected to nominate
delegates favorable to 6ilver to the Na-
tional Democratic convention in 1896.
As a whole, friends of sliver are feeling
happy tonight and congratulations are
in order. _
Mlstonrl Democratic Con vent Ion.
Pkrtle Springs, Mo., Aug. 6—The
Democratic convention convened at 2
o’olook, and the temporary organiza-
tion, with Bland as chairman, was
made permanent.
Resolutions for an increase of the
state central oommittee ware then
read. Objections were qniokly made
from two or three quarters, and a oall
for division demanded. The Question
was finally decided and a vote on the
proposition to Increase the oommittee
was ordered. The vote rasnlted in an
overwhelming majority in favor of the
increase. The free silver men had
sooh an easy vlotoiy the report as a
whole was then adopted.
The committee on resolations not
being ready to report, the convention
took a short reoess.
While waiting for the oommittee on
resolution to report the time was taken
np in speech making, ex Congress-
man Hatoh and Hon. M. E. Benton
addressing the convention. The most
remarkable port Ion of Mr. Benton’s ed
dress was his referenoa to the gold ad-
vocates. He said:
“Every gold advocate in the state of
Missouri ii either usurer, office holder
or a man with large prospects for of-
fice.”
At 4:40 the oommittee on resolutions
reported a platform. The reading of
the resolations was freely punctuated
with applause and especially the por-
tion referring to free coinage and they
were adopted with a whoop. The fol-
lowing is the platform as adopted:
The Democrats of Missouri in sta’e
convention assembled make the follow
log declaration on the monetary ques-
tion whloh has been foroed into the
leading plsoa amoDg the issues of tha
day. The federal oonsdtation names
silver and gold together as tha money
metal of the United States. First the
oolnage law pssied by oorgrest?, under
the constitution made the ollver dollar
a unit of value and admitted gfid to
free coinage at the ratio measured by
tbe silver dollar unit. From the be-
ginning of the government, following
a policy formalated by Thomas Jeffer-
son and firmly established by Jackson,
tbe Democratic party has been the
party of bimetallism f-voring free
ooinage both of silver and gold at the
national mints and opposed to farming
out to bankiog corporations the gov-
ernment's sovereign power ot Issuing
and controlling tbe money of the peo
pie.
The aot of 1873, demonetizing stiver,
was 6arreptitlonsly passed, without
the approval or knowledge of the
Amerloan people, and from the time
when the effect ot this sot in fastening
upon tbe country the single gold
standard was understood, tbe Demo-
oratio party has oonsistently and per-
sistently urged that the grievous wrong
be righted. The failure to aooomplish
this objeot has resulted in the stead;
appreciation of gold and a correspond-
ing fall in the price of commodities pro
duoed by the people, a heavy ioorease
in the burden of all debts, poblio and
private, tbe enriobment of tbe money
ending class, the i aralysls of lndns-
ry, and the Impoverishment of tbe
people, aod unexampled distress on
all gold-standaid countries.
Experience has ehown that while
nnder the single gold standard there
may b» an occasional revival of bus!
ness activity, aooompanied by en-
hanced prices of a limited number of
commodities, tuah revival Is doe to
artificial and temporary causes, and
cannot permanently alleviate the suf-
ferings due to the falling of prices
brought about by tbe appreciation of
gold and tbe inadequate supply of pri-
mary or redemption money. Duty to
tbe people requires that the party of
tbe people continue to battle for bi
metallism until their efforts are
crowned with snooess; therefore,
Resolved, that we, the Democratic
party of Missouri in convention as-
sembled, demand free and unlimited
oolnage of silver and g rid into primary
or redemption money at the ratio of
16 to 1 without waiting for the action
or approval of any other nation.
Resolved, that we are irrevocably op
postd to the substitution for metallic
money of panio breeding corporation
credit currency based on a single
m°tal, the supply of which is so limit-
ed thailt o&o be cornered at any time
by a few banking Institutions in
Europe and America.
Rssolved, that we are opposed to the
policy and praettoe of surrendering to
holders of obligations of (he United
States the option reserved by law to
the government for redeeming snoh ob
ligation in either silver coin or gold
coia.
Resolved, that we are opDcssd to the
Issuing of interest bearing bonds of tbe
United States In time of peace and
especially are we opposed to placing
the treasury of the government nnder
the control of any f yndicate of bankers
and the issnanoe of bonds to be sold
by them at an enormous prefit for the
purpose of supplying the federal tress
ury with gold to maintain the policy
of gold monometallism.
Additional resolations were present-
ed and adopted as follows:
Resolved, That the chairman of thiB
convention seleot oae or two delegates
from each congressional district to at-
tend a conference of the Demcoratlo
friends of silver Angust 14 at Washing
ton hr recommended by Senators Tur-
ple, Harris and Jones.
Rtsolved, That the Democratic state
central oommittee be requested to re-
call the state convention not later than
April 15,1896, at St. Louis, to 6eleot
delegates to the National Democratic
convention to nominate a president and
vies president in 1896, and that they
be farther instructed to oall a 6tafe
convention for the nomination of state
officers to be held after said national
convention.
Resolved, That the Democrats of
Missouri in convention here assembled
Rend greeting* and congratulations to
Hon. J. S. C Blaokbnrn, senator from
Kentuoky, for his manly fight in the
“dark and bloody ground” in behalf of
free and unlimited ooinage ot silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1.
The following telegram was reoelved
from the Demooratio state oonv«ntion
in Session at Fort Worth, Texas:
“Three thousand free silver Demo-
crats in the state convention assembled
send greetings and pledge the Demo-
cratic party of Texas to true bimetallic
coinage and against the single gold
ooinage.
4 Brian T. Berrt, Chairman.”
A suitable reply was sent. A similar
dispatch was forwarded to the Demo-
oratio state cm veutlon in Mississippi
Additions to the central com
mifteo were then m* ?e, ' h>» namm!tf>>e
men being saleofcid from each oongies-
stonal district, fifteen in all, and font
committeemen at- large. The conven-
tion then adjourned sine die. Tonight
the delegates heard speeches by United
States Sonator F. M. Cook ell and
Governor William J. Stone of Missouri,
