If a compromise measure increasing the ratio was reached ho said ho saw no reason why tho present dollar should not bo kept in circulation us it was now. llu proposed, however, with all his po?ur, to resist any incroaso in the ratio. Tho attitudo of tho tronsnry department in refusing to buy Bilver was arbitrary unci uncalled for, Mr. Bland said, but thoro was no ground for tho talk that tho secretary could bo impeached.

Tho Populists Doclaro the Convention Was Tlioir Victory and Count the Froo Silver Democrats and Ito. publicans as a I'are of Them?A Characteristic Address, Which Ought to bo Placod on loo. Cmcuao, August 4.?The exocutlve committee of toe Populist party who have boen in sossion hero sinco tho adjournment of the silver convention tonight Issuod the following address: Til thn Vturle nf Ihf. UnltHl Stain. Tho friondd of moro money and loss taxos, dovolod to tlio silvor dollar of the constitution and of our forofatbors, thu opponents of contraction, gold standard nnd bond monopoly, have Just hold thoir groat convention hoto in Chicago. It was composed of representative ami patriotic men from all partios, and from all soctions of tho oonutry. The overwhelming spirit of this convantion indicatos that toe whole nation isalivototho dangers which threaten us. That convention not only ropudlatod tho idea of a gold standard and a gold basis, l)ut unanimously committed itsoli to tho principle that wo, as Populists, have long held and cherished, viz: That law alono makes money and that tho stamp of tho government converts sixtv cents worth of stiver Into a dollar equal to any gold dollar, and thoy; unanimously accepted ono doctrine?that tho money of tho country should be adequate for tho demands of business and Bliould expand with the growth of population and commorco. Populists, this couvoution has been a groat victory for the principles ombodied in tho Omaha platform. Tito representatives of tho old partios who woro prosout, unitod with ua to tight .for money of tho people as against tho money of the bondholders. It is tho same old contost for tho doctrinos of Jofl'orson, Jackson, Thad. Stovons and Lincoln, and for our constitutional rights which havo been assailed by a foreign coalition. Tho convention manifested an intonso conviction that tho bondholdlnt( and banking conspiracy which began its awful work in 1873 in a Republican Congress will now bo continued, if not consummated in IfiOtt. in n Dnmnorntio (?nn<rrnnM with equal rapacity, pillago and peculation. It is tho mission of the Populists to rasiat this foreign invasion which, through corporate grocd, assaults our national libortioa by usurping our lands, monopolizing our highways, absorbing our woaltli, dictating our laws and enslaving our pooplc. Wo bollovo that tho projout effort to ilomonotiza silvor and issuo mors bonds, thoroby increasing tho aggregate of our billions of dobt, all of which must then be paid in gold alone, burdening ua and our poaUirlty with gold contracts which wo never mado, Is n crime equal to that for which kings have been dethroned and tyrnnts headed, and for which wo bollovo evory ofllcor engaged therein should bo impoachod and punished as provided by law. If silvor is strickon down it will take more morchnndiso from tho business man, raoro Inbor from the wago oarner and inoro wheat, corn and cotton from tho fanner tlinn ovor boforo to purchase tlio gold dollars of the bankers. Therefore these throo classos should unito to resist tho encroachments of this unAmorican and destructive conspiracy. Tho logic of ovonts forces tho iiniaadiato solution of tho monoy question. This wo recognize without yielding any of tho groat principles in our platform, which must follow and bo sottlod in rapid Biiccussion. in ordor that our govornmont may bo wrested from its enomioa anil prosperity restored to the pooplo. Wo do not eonsidor tho money question as settled until tho authority to iasno money and control its volume nro, in tho words of JofTorson, rosolvod to tho govornmentand tho pooplo to whom tboy properly belong. Tins Btrugglo will obliterate old party linos. Tons of thousands of now converts nro coming tn our ranks; thoy should lie welcomed and organized into n mighty campaign forco lor 1804 and 181)0. Wo commend tho industrial lostlon and all similnr organizations as valunblo aids in oducating and organizing our pooplo. Stand by your colors, brothron; events are battling for us; "tho stars in tholr course nro fighting in behalf of Bisornj" every ugony of the olliioted people is the argument for our platform; ovory day confirms our predictions. There is no snfoty I or tho pooplo of tho Unltod States oxcopt in tho triumph of our principles, nnd tho victory Is not far off. [Wgnod] 11. K TAOniKICK, Chalrm'n. J. II. Tuhnkii, Snerotary. Jl. C.
