COL HAMILTON’S CARD

ed. Reviews his case.
Both Sides to file
More Paper
When Governor Atkinson finally
decided to continue the considers*
tion of the application of Lord
Beresford for a cart load of papers
to wade through.
The application has been with
drawn from consideration for a
few day s to enable each of the sides
interested to file more information.
Governor Atkinson says that he
will not take the applicatian up
again until b th sides announce
that they are ready for him to go
on with the considetation of it.
The latest development, in the
case ia a curd from Mr. D. B.
Hamilton, of R<me, who prosecut
ed Beresfo’d. It has been claimed
that the Hamiltons did not object
to the pardoning of Ber sford. but
this card denies this: The follow
ing is the card:

morning that it is supposed that I

Judge John W. Maddox, and con

for a new trial, after ably argu
merit of the motion. Judge Maddox
overruled it. He then carried the
case to the supreme court of Geor

The supreme cout of Georgia af

BIMETALLISM
Both Metals at 16 to I indorsed
by the convention
RESOLUTION UNANIMOUS
The Memphis Clanshave Ad
journed feeling they have
done much for the Sil
ver Cause and they
are jubilant.
“The universal experience of
mankind has demonstrated that
the joint use of both silver and gold
coin as money constitute the most
stable standard of value and that
the full amount of both metal# is
necessary as a medium of exchange.
“There ia no health or soundness
in a financial system under which
a hoarded dollar is productive of
increase to i's possessor, while an
invested dollar yields a constantly
diminishing return, and under
which fortunes are made by the ac
tions of idle capital or by a persist
ent fall in the prices of commodi
ties and a persistent dwindling in
the margin of profits in almost
every branch of useful industry.
Such a system is a premium on
sloth and a penalty upon industry,
and such a system is that which
the criminal legislation of 1873 has
imposed upon this country.
“The bimetallic standard of sil
ver and gold has behind it the ex
perience of ages and has been test
ed and approved by the enlightened
and deliberate judgment of man
kind. The gold standard is a de.
parture from the established poli
cy of the civilized world with noth
ing to commend it but twenty-two
years of depression and disaster to
the people and extraordinary ac
cumulation of wealth in the hands
of a few.
‘‘There are some facts bearing l,
upon this question recognized and'
admitted by all candid men,,
whether advocates of bimetallism I
or of the single gold standard.
Among these is the fact that the
very year that marked the change;
from the bimetallic to the single;
gold standard is the very year
that marked the changj from a .
condition of rising prices, large,
profits general contentment and
great prosperity, to a condition
of falling prices, diminishing prof
its, insecurity of investment, un
imployed labor and a heavy de
pression in all branches of trade
and industry. It is not a matter of
dispute among the honest advo
cates of the gold standard, that
general prosperity came to an end
with the destruction of the bime
tallic system, and that hard times,
falling prices, idle workingmen and
widespread depression came in
with the gold standard ami pre
vails today wherever the gold stan
dard has been adopted.
“We believe in a money of sfa-.
hie value; we believe least of ail .
in an appreciative standard ; it is
only through the practical opera
tion cf bimetallism that a stable
standard of value can be secured.
A standard constituted •>! money
constantly increasing in value is
not a sound, a single, nor a stable
standard, but a constantly chang
ing standard.
“The effect of gold monometal
lism is to establish one standard
for the creditor and another for
the debtor; and there can be no
more dishonest monetary system
than that which gives thort meas
ure to the borrower and long meas
ure to the lender.
“Unde- the p >licy prevailing
prior to 1873 there can be no vio.
lint change in tip relative value

ed between them in spite of the
most extreme changes in relative
productions.
‘‘From the first period of our
history up to 1873, the
right of the debtor to choo e
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
stantly increase the value of the
dearer metal and destroy the pari
ty between them.
“Believing that it is absolutely
necessary to reverse this iniquitous
and ruinous policy, we, therefore,
resolve:
‘‘That we favor the immediate
restoration of silver to its former
place as a full legal tender stand
ard money equal with gold, and]
.the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the ratio of
16 to 1 and upon terms of exact
equality.
‘‘That while we should welcome
i the cooperation of other nations
we believe that the United States
should not wait upon the pleasure
of foreign governments or the con
sent of foreign creditors, but
should themselves proceed to re
verse the grinding process, that is
destroying the prosperity of the
people and should lead by their
example the nations of the earth.
“That the rights of the Ameri
can people, the interests of Ameri
can labor and the prosperity of
American industry have a higher
claim to the consideration of the
people’s lawmakers than the greed
of foreign creditors, or the avari
cious demands made by sidle hold
ers of idle capital.
The right to regulate its own
monetarj' system in the interests
of its own people is a right which
no free government can barter,
sell, or surrender. This reserved
right is a part of every bond, of
livery contract and of every obliga
tion.
No creditor or claimant can s»i
'up a right that can take pr- c -
) dense over a nation’s obligations
to promote the wellfare of the mas
ses of its own people. This is»
debt higher and more binding than
al I o'her debts and one which ia
not on’y dishonest, but treasonable
o ignore.
‘‘The centralization of wealth
has gone hand in hand with the
spread of poverty. The pauper and
the plutocrat are twin children of
the same vicious and unholly sys
tem. The situation is full of men
ance to the liberties of the people
and the life of the republic. The
issue is enfranchisement of hope
less servitude. >
Whatever the power of money
can do by debauchery and corrup
tion to maintain its grasp on the
lawmaking power will be done.
We, therefore appeal to the plain
people the land with perfect con
fidence in their patriotism and in
' tell’gence to arouse themselves to
a full sense of the peril that con
fronts them and defend the citadel
of their libertities with a vigilance
that shall neither slumber nor
