June It.-'i'he possible dis» ruptlon of the old parties—of the Demo erotic party in the south and the Repub- lloenpartyin thewsst—s’nust havebesu the uppermost thought In the minds: any thoughtful observer at the past two .daye' proceedings in the great silver convention which has been In sessien at the Audito rlum. Both sides of this propositic'u'wors discussed In impassioned speeches and strong argumentative appeals to the 1,500 delegates and visitors who attended the big mass meeting. The first warning of the approaching encesof Congressman Joseph 0. Sibley an aggrmlvo campaign for the remouctl- ration of the white metal without to pr Icus party ties. After that all die- guise as thrown on. The men who favor a silver party. with one purpose and one idea, under the leadership of Sibley, Till- man of South Carolina, Butler of North Carolina, Stewart of Nevada and Adams of Colorado, told of their pans without re serve and asked their hearers to decide between party and nation. 0n the other hand. those the favor the settlement of the silver question within areas agitation for free silver, but bearing in min that there were other questions of importance to the political future of the country which should cause the voter to think well before casting oil the party af- filiations of years and giving his undivldo ed suflrago to the one cause of silver. The money question. they claimed, should and Would be settled within party lines. The conservative element prevailed in the committee on resolutions. and the doc- larations of that body. which were adopt- ed by the convention, did not go beyond a strong presentation of the free silver views of the gathering. But the convention ed- jourued with a schism in it. One faction advocates the Sibley "idea" and the capture of the Democratic ccuveu lion, and. failing In that, independent political action. while others were for fighting the Issue strictly within party lines. Senator Stewart of Nevada made the principal speech of the day session. ' 'l'lsa Resolutions. When Senator Stewart had finished his speech, Secretary Wade read a telegram from Congressman Benton McMillan of Tennessee. In which he expressed regret that personal business prevented his nt- tendanoe upon the convention and added: " Cessation from the use of silver as re- demptiou money would be a calamity to mankind. While bimetallism by Inter- national agreement is much to be desired, It is useless to expect England to make any agreement. To expect her to concede blmetalllsm now is as idle as it would have been for our forefathers to rely on her doing them justice without a fight In 1776." Private John Allen of Mississippi was then called to speak He advanced no new arguments. but he icnoc laughing for to minutes. and at the con- clusion of his remarks the convention took a recess. Immediately after the convention was called to order for the afternoon session Senator J. K. .lcnes of Arkansas, as chair- man. presented the report of the commit. toe on resolutions. which be routine fol- lows: _ ”Silver and gold coin have in all ages constituted the money of the world. were the money of the fathers of the republic. the money of history and of the constitu- tlcu. The universal experience of mankind has demonstrated that the joint use of both silver and gold coin as one money constitutes the most. stable standard of val- ue, and that the full amount of both met- als is necessary as a medium of exchange. “The dcmcnctizatlon of either of these historic money metals means an apprecia- tion from the value of money, a fall In the prices of commoditiesra diminution of the profits of legitimate business, a centln. ulug Increase in the burden of debts. a withdrawal of money from the channels of trade and industry, where It is no long— er yielding a safe and sure return, and Its idle accumulation in the banks and In the great money centers of the country. Built In the Bearded Dollar. “There Is no health or soundnequ a financial system under which a boarded dollar is productive of increase to its pos- sessor. while an invested dollar yields a constantly diminishing return. and under which fortunes are made by the secretions of Idle capital or destroyed by a persistent fall in the price of commodities and a per- sistent swindllug in the margin of profits In almost every branch of useful Industry. “Such a system Is a premium upon sloth and a penalty upon Industry. and such a system it that which the criminal legislation of 1873 has Imposed upon the country. “The blmetellist standard of silver and gold has behind it the experience of ages aud~has been tested and approved by the enlightened and deliberate judgment of mankind. The gold standard Is a depar- tnrc from the established policy of the clv Illzed world, with nothing to commend It but till years of depression and disaster to the people and extraordinary accumula- tion of wealth In the hands of the few. "There are some facts bearing upon this question recognized and admitted by all candid men. whether advocates of bimetal- lism or of the single gold standard. Among these It the fact that the very year that marked the change from the blmetal lie to the single standard Is the very year that marked the change from a condition of rising prices. large profits, general ocu- leutmcut and of great prosperity to a con- dition of falling prices. diminishing prof .ita insecurity of investments. uusmploy ed labor and a heavy depression In all branches of trade and Industry. it is not a matter of dispute even among the hon- est advocates of the gold standard that general prosperity came to an end with the destruction of the bimetallic system. and that hard times. falling prices idle werkingmen and widespread depression same In with the gold atandud that pro veils today wh the gold staudsrti has been adopted “lv'trylntsrnaticual monetary misr- ‘ ' Meier.

"We believe In a money of stable value. We believe least of all in an appreciating standard. It is only through the practical operation of blmstailism that a stable standard of value can be secured. A standard constituted of money constantly increasing In value Is not a sound. sin- gle nor a stable standard. but a constant- ly changing, standard. The effect of gold mcncmstalllsm Is to establish cue stand ard for the creditor and another for the debtor. and there can be no incrc dishon- est monetary system than that which gives short measure to the borrower and long measure to the lender. Under the policy prevailing prior to 1873 there can be no violent changes in the relative value of the two metals, for a rise In value of one metal is counteracted by a decreased de- demand. Under the operations of this beneflceut law a stable relation was main- tained between them In spite of the most extreme changes In relative productions. From the earliest period of our history up to 1878 the right of the debtor to choose whether he should pay his debts In silver , or gold coin was always recognized The subsequent policy has been to transfer this right to the creditor. thus tending to con- stautly increase the value of the dearer metal and destroy the parity between them. .. ‘ "Believing that it is absolutely ,ueees- ear: to reverse the Inlqultous and ruinous policy. we therefore resolve: - "That we favor the immediate restora— tion of silver to Its former place as a full legal tender. standard money, equal with gold. and the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to I and upon terms of exact equality. ”That while we should welcome the co- cperation of other nations, we believe that the United States should not wait upon the pleasure of foreign governments or the consent of foreign creditors, but should themselves proceed to reverse the .'grind- lug procedure’——that“ is, destroying the prosperity of the people—and should lead by their example the nations of the earth. “That the rights of American people, that the interests of American labor and the prosperity of American industry have a higher claim to the consideration of the people's lawmakers than the greed of for- cigu creditors or the avariclous demands of 'idle holders of mutter—the right to regulate Its own monetary system in the interests of its own people—a right which no free government can barter. sell or sur- render. Thls reserved right Is a part of every bond. of every contract and of ev- ery obligation. No creditor or claimant can set up a right that can take prece- dence over a nation's obligations to pro- mote the welfare of the masses of Its own people. This is the debt higher and more binding than all other debts and one which is not only dishonest. but treason- ablc to ignore. ‘ . The Pauper and the Plutoorai. " Under the financial policy that now prevails we see the land filled with idle and discontented worklngmen and an ever growing army of tramps—men wheru lack of work and opportunity have made outcasts and beggars. At the other end we Ilud that a few thousand families own one-half the wealth of the country. The eeutrallration of Wealth has gone hand in hand with the spread of poverty. The pau- per aud plutocrnt are twin children of the some vicious and unholy system. The situation ls fulicf menace to the liberties of the people and the. life of the republic. The issue In onlrtmchiscmcut or hopeless servitude. Whatever the power of money can do by debauchery and corruption to maintain Its grasp on the lawmaklng pow— er will be done. We therefore alumni to the plain people of the peril that confronts them and defend the citadel of their liber— ties with a vigilance that shall neither slumber nor sleep. " « The reading of the resolutions was fre~ quoutly Interrupted by tumultuous ap- plause, and they Wore adopted with a hur- rah without discussion. The following resolution was also pre- sented and adopted: "Resolved, That a committee composed of one member from each state be appointed by the delegates thereof in this conven- tion. whose duty It shall be to correspond with the representatives and advocates of bimotallism and bimetallic societiesin the diflcrent sections of the Union and devise measures to advance the cause of bimet. allism throughout the United States. "That this committee shall have power to cause a national conference Of bimetal- llsta whenever In the opinion of the com- mittee the cause of bimetallism can be ad- vanced thereby. Said committee shall have power to fill all vacancies." Tillman Causes a Sensation. Benjamin ii. Tillman, tho Populist United States saunter from South Carcll~ us, whose appearance everybody had been looking forward to with great interest. was expected to furnish the sensation of the convention. in a mild way this ex- pectation was realized. Senator Tillman'e original manner and plain speech attract- ed his hearers at once. and he held their close attention for over an hour. He said lit part: "Some three or four weeks ago there as- sembled In this city a body called to teach the southern people the meaning of sound money. After putting In motion all the secret agencies and the use of Illlmltable money and drumming up delegates from this chamber of commerce and that bank, they assembled here to tell his what was the meaning of ‘scuud money,‘ and after having the people of this city, whose loans from the banks make them subservient to the banking interests, turn out, they suc- ceeded in drumming up a large, gathering and bed the mastery of the treeetuy here to tell us the diflereuoc between sound money now and sound money in 1878. “And.

June It. ~95 Van Brooklin of 771 De Kalb avenue claims a spiritual- istle muelnteuce with the great Napo icon. lie has placed in the bands of the press an affidavit in which he asserts that his hand has been directed to write mea‘ sages—In English —whlch have been signed " Napoleon. ” One day. as the affidavit states, he re- cered this familiarly couched spistlc from the vanquished hero of Waterloo: “Van—Go to Mme.

NAPOLEON.” From his message It appears that while Napoleon Is an exceedingly good English scholar his Latin Is rather “rocky.” The sentence In the communication translated roads thus. "Such Is the way to Immortal- ity thus you do not labor for yourselves truth conquers all things". To a skeptical person it would seem that he had merely cribbed a trio of Latin idioms from the back of a Webster and "pied” them. Spirit Painting of Josephine. Another ailldavit which Mr. Van Brock- lln says he makes public for the good of the cause relates to a painting of Empress Josephine, which waé produced at the same Mme.

Mr. Van Brocklin has .appeared before the public on several occasions as a spiro ituallst. On Sunday last at Carnegie Mu- sic hall he had a lively debate with Jules Wallace. the medium who was exposed in a morning paper. Mr. Van Brockllu was not at home when a reporter called. lie was away at‘ tending a seanco. hire. \‘an Brocklin told a pitiful story and showed the “ mysteries” of the cabinet in which her husband com- municated with "Napoleon” nightly. ”My husband." she said, "is being ruined by these splritualists. He neglects his home and family and is away every night until :3, 3 and sometimes 4 o'clock. lie neglects his business and has had his salary reduced. He doesn't care for me or the children and gives me barely enough to-get along on. Since he has been roped In by them we have had to give up the house we were living In and take this flat. He seems to grow more distant to his familnei’cry day. "If it were not for the children, I would have left him long ago. i have consulted a lawyer and shall get a bill of separation from him." Mrs. Van Brocklln burst Into tears and told how her husband burl paid for a doc. tor for one of his "spirituallst"(rionds when she was sick, but would not provide a physician for his wife when she needed one.
