STRONG PLEA FOR SILVER.
(Continued from First Page.)
ly told that lawful money will be made
•relatively scarcer than it is now’ and that
it is intended that under the ox>enition of
the bill it will ‘be easier to get gold than
lawful money.’ Practically ad of the- mon
ey in the hands of the people now, ns the
secretary distinctly admits, is silver,
chiefly in the form of silver certificates.
The avowed purpose of the bill is to make
It hereafter more difficult to get those than
•‘The monetary commission selected by
the executive • committee of a seif-consti
tuted Indianapolis convention, which as
sembled for the express purpose of estab
lishing the gold standard, have uLso made
a report and promulgated a bill, the provi -
lons of which are so strikingly like the
propositions of the Secretary of the Treas
ury in all material particulars, as to sug
gest that they were compared and har
monized before either was given to 'he
public. Tit is report and bill are somt what
more bold In the assertion of the purposes
entertained than is even the proposition of
Mr. Gage. These distinctly propose that
silver dollars shall not h* re after be coined;
that standard silver dollars shall be re
deemed in gold; that the silver bullion on
hand at present shall be sold, and suggest
that silver dollars may also be melted
down ami sold as bullion. We are assured
that the notes of the banks ‘cannot fail to
be safe, because being based upon all the
resources of ail the banks issu.ng them,
they are based upon the whole business
of the country.'
“Certainly no bank will become liable for
the notes issue-i by another bank over
which it has no control or supervision;
hence, this scheme must contemplate the
establishment of some central bank au
thority. having tht absolute control of the
Issue of all paper money; a great bank
trust, pool, or syndicate, with powers such
as no man has ever before had the audac
ity to suggest. This committee has called
upon commercial bodies all over the coun
try to assemble and endorse their report.
Thus the people are put upon full notice
of what is intended, and of the mepns of
its accomplishment. #
“Considering all this, is it any wonder
that the Spectator, one of the great Eng
lish newspapers, should say. as it did some
months since: ‘Being audacious beyond
any old world experience, the great capi
talists of America are determined to cap
ture free opinion and to prevent criticism.
They subsidize pulpits, they buy the
press, they use at their will paid attorneys
In the United States Senate, and at length
they stretch their hands over tlie colleges,
which it is easy to capture by examples
of generosity.
“ ‘Thus their design is to prevent any
effective action which shall in any way
weaken their authority and undermine
their position. Their object cannot be
mere wealth making, for they already en
joy wealth beyond the dreams of avarice.
Apparently their intention is first to con
vert the United States into a powerful
oligarchy and then to extend the sway of
that aligarchy over other lands.’
“ ‘lt is reserved for the ‘free’ West to
dismiss from academic service tried and
competent teachers at the bidding of
rings of millionaires, who will not hear
one single criticism or questioning of the
Justice or the necessity of their doings, cr
the character and tendency of the trusts
they have built with the aid and at the
expense of the public. The divine right
of kings is to be succeeded by the divine,
right of millionaires, who are to run
everything, including the American Sen
ate, and the conscience and intellect of
university professors.
“ 'lt Is none of our duty to say how the
American people shall deal with the por
tentious growth of that money power
which overshadows the institutions of the
republic. But we think the rich men of
America are revealing such a deadly plot
against all genuine public freedom that
unless We are mistaken the opening years
of the new century -wiil witness an out
burst in the West which will amaze the
civilized world.'
‘‘ln view of the great principles involved
and of the danger so close at hand, we
urge the people everywhere to arouse
themselves and at once to take steps to
save themselves and their children from
the fetters now being openly forged to
bind them. In recent years there have
been a number of instances of Congress
ional districts where the ad
vocates of gold and monoply were
largely outnumbered by their opponents,
and where, nevertheless, by a failure to
unite and act together, friends of the gold
standard have been successful. Thus as
the result of a personal or partisan wran
gle the cause of truth and justice has been
overshadowed, the interest of humanity Ig
nored and the greatest good to the govern
ment subordinated to an Ignoble strife. We
appeal to you to let this not be the case
again. Our only danger is in division. If
we are in earnest we must have harmony
amongst ourselves. If there should be those
who would divide us let them be summar
ily and emphatically rebuked by the peo
ple, who have none but high and patriotic
motives.
“After the tIJ declaration of the ad
ministration in favor of the goi.l stand
ard, no sincere bi-metallist can ever again,
by his vote or influence, give aid or en
couragement to the Republican party. The
issue is joined so we cannot avoid it If
we would. Either the friends of bi-metal
lism or the advocates of the gold standard,
trusts and monopolies, must succeed- Who
Is not for us is against us. We ask to
mar. to abandon his party or change his
politics; we ask no one to yield any prin
ciple, but In this great contest we do ap
peal to all good men to stand solidly to
gether for liberty and humanity, and strike
down forever this conspiracy of gold and
monopoly.
(Signed) "James K. Jones, Chairman
Democratic National Committee.”
The Populist address is as follows:
“The conspiracy of gold and monopoly
Is nearing Its culmination. Every ad
vance it has made during the last twenty
five years has been by adroit and stealthy
processes. These would have been im
possible If it had not its agents and con
federates holding positions o’f public trust
In the legislative, executive and judicial
branches of the government. Neither the
benefeciaries nor the tools of this con
spiracy have any particular politics. In
name the last administration was Demo
cratic. The present administration Is call
ed Republican, but It has tngloriously
practiced and defended the perfidious pol.
Jcies of its predecessors. At length the
selfish and brutal Interests behind tills
conspiracy deem themselves strong enough
to dispense with the caution and duplicity
hitherto necessary to their success. The
administration boldly avows its indorse
ment of their scheme against the liberty
and prosperity of the people. Within n
few weeks It has formulated and sent to
Congress a bill, the leading purpose of
which is, in the words of the Secretary
of the Treasury; ‘To commit the country
more thoroughly to the gold standard.-

blighting effect of the gold standard, so
far as fraudulent legislation and executive
usurpation have been aide to establish it.
It is now boldly proposed to legalize what
has been done in defiance of law and to
use the power secured by false pretenses
from a long suffering and too trustful peo
ple to put upon this infamous design the
stamp of alleged popular authorization.
"In the pursuit of this purpose of com
mitting the country more thoroughly to
the gold standard, the plan of this ad
ministration, as of the last, is to retire
the greenbacks and other non-interest
bearing paper money of the government,
to issue burdened gold bonds and to in
crease the powers, privileges and profits
of national banks.
"This arrangement would turn over the
duty of supplying the people's money, the
very life blood of business, to a selfish,
heartless and irresponsible foreign gold
syndicate and its agents and aliies. It
must be remembered also that this for
eign gold syndicate and its allies have,
with the connivance, if not the assistance
of our government, captured and to-day
control every instrument of commerce In
the nation. In framing the constitution
our patriotic forefathers with zealous care
and with prophetic wisdom provided that
commerce should be regulated by Con
gress; but this tremendous power has been
abdicated by Congress in favor of the gold
trust and the banking ring. Money is the
first great instrument of commerce, but
the gold ring, not satisfied with controll
ing our financial system, has captured the
other instruments of commerce to enable
it to keep the gold standard yoke upon
our necks and ‘to more thoroughly’ subju
gate the people and dominate our govern
mer.t-
"All history teaches that those who have
not only controlled the commerce in any
country have not only controlled the in
struments of commerce of that nation, but
have also controlled and dominated that
government. Thus, the gold syndicate
and Us allied monoplies in our country,
having seized the great instruments of
commerce have used this tremendous
power to discriminate against sections and
individuals to destroy competition, to
breed stagnation and to create 'hard times’
in the midst of plenty. Thus the organ
ization and maintenance of great indus
trial trusts has been promoted, which op
erate to aggravate the evil conditions
which give them birth. Thus they are
making millions of paupers to create a
few millionaires. The inevitable result
must be to convert our government into
an oligarchy of sordid wealth.
"In the accomplishment of this end these
evil influences must shackle opinion and
muzzle discussion. They not only subsidize
the press and attempt to seat their well
paid attorneys In our legislative halls, or
on benches of Justice and In all other de
partments of the government; but where
ever college faculties are susceptible to
pretended generosity or Inverted philan
throphy they carefully maneuver for eith
er service or silence. The divine right of
kings is to be succeeded by the divine right
of millionaires who prbpose to run every
thing, not only the Instruments of com
merce and our industrial system, but also
as far as possible the pen of the editor and
the voice if not the intellect of the uni
versity professor. Having succeeded In this
the conspirators will not only completely
dominate (he legislative, executive and ju
dicial branches of our government, but
will be solidly entrenched against re
trenchment and retribution.
“Rriefly stated this is a part of (he out
rageous scheme. We do not arraign any
political party on partisan grounds. W'e ar
raign a system and denounce a conspiracy.
W r e condemn individuals and organizations
that support this system and aid the con
spiracy. A party that is the mouthpiece
and agent of this conspiracy is Just as
dangerous under one name as under an
other.
"In every campaign the gold syndicate
and all the allied trusts and monopolies
combine. They select the conventions they
desire to control. They elect the candi
dates they have selected. Of course, they
control ttiffin after they are elected. There
fore, those who are not their agents and
who would not submit to their tyrannous
spoliation should strenuously oppose the
allied combinations of gold and monop
oly
“Tlie only hope of the enemy is to divide
us. Therefore let us be more united and
harmonious than ever nnd further let us
organize without delay a vigorous cam
paign in every state and congressional
district, county and precinct. There are but
two sides to this mighty and portentioUs
conflict. All of those of whatever party
who favor the conspiracy of gold and mon
opoly, who favor industrial slavery, wide
spread iKtverty nnd national destruction
should be on one side, and all those of
whatever party who oppose this deadly de
sign. who love truth and right, who love
their country, who love their homes
and firesides and believe in
the sacred principles declared
by Jefferson and reasserted by Jefferson
nnd Lincoln should be on the other side.
On this side we solidly stand.
"Then let us. maintaining at all times
party integrity, Invite the harmonious <o
operatlonof all seeking the same end. The
ominous dangers threatening the institu
tion of the republic rpnke this the highest
duty. The line of battle is clearly drawn.
We cannot avoid the conflict if we would.
“Therefore let us to appeal to all citi
zens and to all organizations and parties
that oppose this conspiracy—that oppose
a government of the trusts, by the trusts
and for the trusts; that oppose and will
not submit to the despotism of sordid
wealth—to come to the rescue. Patriotism
and manhood are not dead. A large part
of the American people realize the wrings
and comprehend the dangers and sre

the end. The spirit of ‘96 is abroad In the
land, and the friends of liberty everywhere

common battle against a common foe. Let
this be done and we can crush every trait
or as did the men of the American revolu
tion; let this be done and we shall drive
every Tory to ignom.nous defeat. Let
this lie done and we shall re-establish what
Is almost overthrown—a. government of
the people, by the people, and for the peo
ple."
This address is signed by Marion Butler
and twenty-five senators and representa
tives of the Populist party.
The paper of the silver Republicans is as
follows:
"The cunning p’ans of the beneficiaries
of the gold standard and the advocates
of monopoly are fast nearing completion.
They need but to win one more victory
to become supreme, and to be able to defy
the sovereignty of the people for genera
tions. The policy of Ihe Republican ad
ministration Is a plain ronfession that the
secret authors of the St. Louis platform
of 1596 ore in absolute control of that
party. I’ower thus secured by false pre
tenses is to be ruthlessly used to carry
out the designs of (he conspirators. The
slow processes of twenty-five years are
rapidly advancing to their goal; the near
approach to which now seems to warrant
dispensing with the caution and deceit
that have hitherto been the necessary pre
liminaries of state.
"But this openness of purpose l the op
portunity of patriotism. Honest men
should hesitate no longer If opposed to the
establishment of the gold standard in a A
its rigor; if opposed to the retirement of
government currency; if opposed to the
erection of a great association of hanks of
issue as the all-dominating power in the
nation, if opposed to every kind of trust
and monoply, the off-spring and adjunct of
the money pow’er.
“Before this awful and imminent peril
of the institutions of bur country every
personal ambition must melt away and
every partisan contention must be stilled.
While this issue remains unsettled Dem
ocrat, Populist and silver Republican
must stand shoulder to shoulder in a com
mon cause. United we can save the re
public, the last refuge of self-government,
the one remaining hope of liberty, to suc
ceeding centuries. The policy of our foes
is to divide us that they may conquer us.
I,et not self-interest, pride, carelessness
or folly afford them hope that we shall
furnish arms against ourselves. In every
state and congressional district in the
Union the closest co-operation should be
our watchword. After full council togeth
er, we should, wherever there is a contest,
choose a strong champion of the common
cause and to him should be given “the true
allegiance and earnest support of every
opponent of the patty of gold and mono
poly. The man or organization in this
grave crisis that becomes responsible for
discordant counsels or divided energies
does not deserve the blessings we are all
striving to preserve.
"Patriots and citizens, we call upon you
to unite in this great cause of citizenship
and patriotism. No man need surrender
his party convictions. No existing or
ganization need be abandoned. While
striving to overthrow a common enemy no
good purpose is served by emphasizing
points on which we differ. But
until this final assault of
the enemy upon the last ramparts of our
Industrial and social independence is re
pelled, untjl the control of the money sys
tem of the country Is rescued from the
hands of the special interests and assured
to the whole people, the members of the
great armies of political reform In every
part of the United States should aot in
mutual Justice and harmonious co-opera
tion for the general welfare. To this ob
ject, thus urged upon our friends every
where, we hereby pledge. Jointly and sev
erally, our earnest, constant endeavor.

Republican senators and representatives,

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 15.—Another suit aris
ing out of the collapse of the Southern
Mutual Building and Loan Association
has been filed here in behalf of George
W. Diemukes, against the Dates-Farley
Savings Bank.
The savings bank is alleged to have col

shares of stock, the right to which was
vested in the plaintiff. The amount in
volved in the litigation is $3,089.59, less a

Building and Loan Association "for with

house to organize a Candier club. The
meeting was very enthusiastic and the
men at the back of the movement made
its success assured. The convention went
into organization by electing Mr. M. S.
Bell, cashier of the Milledgeville Banking
Company, as chairman, and Mr. D. S. San
ford as secretary. These young men are
possessed of an energy and a political hus
tle unequalled by others in this county. A
committee was appointed to canvass the
county by the next meeting and before
that time this committee will probably
have the names of the controlling element
of this county.

ItIVER IMPROVEMENT URGED.
Board of Trade Calls for a $300,000
Appropriation.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Board of Trade yesterday resolutions were
unanimously adopted urging the appro
priation by Congress of $500,000 to improve
the Savannah river, between Savannah and
Augusta. They are as follows:
Whereas, the city of Augusta has memo
rialized Congress for an appropriation of
$500,000 to improve the navigation of the
Savannah river, between Augusta and Sa
vannah, and,
Whereas, such an improvement of the
Savannah river has an equal interest for
this city, and.
Whereas, the improvement of this arte
ry of commerce would have a most sal
utary effect upon the all-rail rates from
the seaboard to the interior of Georgia
and South Carolina by tending to lessen
them, and,
Whereas, the improvement of the river
would greatly increase the present traffic
upon it, and enhance the commerce of
Augusta and Savannah, and tend to Ihe
more rapid development of the rich in
termediate sections traversed in Georgia
and South Carolina, and,
Whereas, such an improvement would
have a most potential influence in simpli
fying and solving important questions of
interstate transportation now engaging the
attention of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the federal courts for the
large terMtory that is served by the Sa
vannah river, therefore be it.
Resolved, That the Savannah Board of
Trade, through its board of directors,
give its most unqualified indorsement to
the memorial of the city of Augusta ask
ing for an appropriation of $500,000 to im
prove the navigation of the Savannah river
as justified by the demand of commerce,
and be it further
Resolved, That the Savannah Board of
Trade request nnd urge our immediate
representatives in Congress. Hon. R. E.
Lester, to give the memorial his most
earnest and hearty support in co-operation
with our other representatives, in Senate
and House, from Georgia, in securing
early and favorable action upon the me
morial, and,
Tnat a copy of these resolutions be for
warded by the secretary to each of our
senators and representatives in Congress,
and to Hon. Patrick Walsh, Mayor of Au
gusta.
The petition of Mayor Vfifish and a
committee of the Augusta Council for the
improvement of the Savannah river, which
was presented to the Senate last Friday
by Senator Clay, has aroused a good deal
of interest here. It is recognized by the
merchants of Savannah that the opening
up of the territory along the river would
be of great benefit to the commercial in
terests of this city, as well as those of
Augusta.

FELLED WITH A ROCK.
Robert Tutt Considerably Bruised
Dot Not Dead.
Lucius Campbell, colored, was arrested
by Detective Barrett last night, charged
with assault with intent to murder. The
affair in which he figured was in Yama
craw Monday night. Asa result, Kobcf-t
Tutt. who lives on Little Jones and Lum
ber streets, was reported dead yesterday.
When arrested by Detective Barreit the
negro thought he was wanted on a charge
of murder and so did the officer. Campbell
was greatly exercised over the affair when
caught and begged to be given all possible
help. He told of the difficulty and why he
struck Tutt with a rock.
From his statement it sterns the two
were allowing attention to a negress named
Lizzie Singleton, who lives In Indian street
lane, near Ann street. By a coincidence
the men ran together Monday night nnd
a quarrel followed as to who should va
cate the premises. Campbell claims (hat
Tutt followed him Into the street, holding
an ugly knife in his hand. He said Tutt
was trying to stab him and that he was
looking for some chance to subdue his es
sallant. He tumbled on a rock In the
dark and picking it up, let fly at Tutt with
full force. The latter fell and was dis
covered by a policeman who had him sent
home In the police ambulance. He was
not reported seriously injured, though the
report got out that he was murdered,
which was probably due to the fact that
he was knocked senseless.
When seen at his home last night by De
tective-Barret t Tutt appeared in good spir
its and said he would he out in time to
muster up a meal before he got hungry,
fcven the detective was under the lmpres
, aion the man was killed, and spent con-
siderable time running down Campbell
wbo was thought to be a murderer. The
negro, however, was not making any at
tempt to leave the city and was found by
the officer near a church on Bryan street.
