PHILADELPHIA, May *JH.-The open | ing gun of the sound money campaign in , the east was tired tonight at nn ethusi j astic public meeting in the Academy of i music. The affair was under tho mana | gem net of a group of the better known financial and business men of the ! country. I Geoigo li. Roberts, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, was I chairman. Tho principal speakers of the ' evening were ex-Fnited States Senator I George F. Kdmunds. ex Comptroller of j the Currnocy Wiliam L. Trenholm, Con- I gressman Michael I>. Hartcr ol Ohio, «x --j Minister to Russia Charles Finery Smith t and .latnes W harton. In tho beginning Mr. Edmunds said the Jl sound money cpiestion must, bo decided by political action, not party action, but that kind of action the Humans used to I speak of when no man was for party out i all for state. Quoting Thomas Jefferson's words, 1 "the wtiole art of government consists in the art of being honest," he said: "That phrase is worthy to bo written in letters of gold and placed in front of every public edifice iv evory hamlet on the con tinent. In a careful report prepared for the benefit of the First c ingress, Jefferson said that the question of the difference between the value ot gold and silvor as money was purely a commercial question ; it did not depend on legislation or the fancy tastes of man, hut on commerce, which regulates tho price of conimodi ; ties."' The speaker then discussed the varia tion in value of two metals. "If any faith can be put in human ex perience* he said, "it- ought to leach us that we cannot make a given amount of silver worth any more when it is printed at the mint with the stamp of the United States than it was hetore. "When tho act, of was passed to stop silver coinage, all the principal countries r>f Europe wero coming to have a single standard — gold. "If the* last congress had passed on March 3d, the last day of its session, what is now vociterously demanded by tho free coinage people, every owner and producer of silver bullion would take his ounce of silver to the mint, worth 63.40 rents, and get |1. and having got more than two silver dollars for his ounce of silver, he would come to tho workingmen to whom he owes for labor and say: 'If I bought it in metal, it would have taken t?n pounds, but I have taken benetit of the United Slates nfrleei and had it stamped, and you must take live pounds of it. Ex-Controller Trenholm during his re- I marks declared it would be found that, I the issue now confronting us *hns become ! serious only because the two political par | ties have at one time or another and on { ono pica and another, courted the HUp | port of. those who entertained, or affected jto enter tarn, the idea that the coinage of ; silver dollars is so essential to the welfnre and happiness of tho people of tho , United States that all other political j questions should be subordinated to it. Congressman Barter followed Mr. Tren j holm. Mr. Harter argued that an abund- I ance of money did not always prevent , commercial and business depression. On the contrary, he argued, some of our financial panics had come at a time when money was abundant. Charles Finery Smith spoke for tho working man's interests. THE DEMOCRATS IN TEXAS Meeting of the Executive Committee at Dallas Light Uold and Light Silver Men Answer to the Roll Call, and Fifteen Humbert Were Absent DALLAS, Tex., May 28.—Mr, Mem- • niss of liryan arrived today, making a quorum of the state Democratic exenu- j tive committee.

Following is his address in full: Gentlemen of the Convention: T thank you for the honor you have conferred upon mo in selecting-|me to preside over this convention. You have met to desig nate the next governor of the s*ate of Ohio, You have a good many candidates before you. but each one is worthy of the highest honor you can confer. You have tho assurance" that whoever you may nominate will have tho hearty support of all the candidates and of each* member of the convention, You have also to select several of the chief executive officers of this state, f need not impress upon you tho importance of selecting those who will honestly and faithfully perform the duties assigned them. You have a still higher duty, to announce tho principles and.policy of tho Republican party in the state of Ohio and in tho United States. What you will say here will have an im portant influence beyond the limits of your state, for the intelligent action of the Republicans of Obio will, as in the past, indicate the opinions of tbe Repub licans in all parts ot the United States. We have a common faith and creed. We act. together on great matters for dis ci pi in c. Tho primary and fundamental sentiments of tb<) Republican party Iff love for our country, our whole country, We arc for the Fnion. one and indivisi ble, now and forever. The Republicans nf Ohio are not provincial, but national. This is our corner stone, planted in the lirst Republican convention in Ohio ill 1865. We stood by il in the storms of the war, when Lincoln was our standard bearer. . ... • , ' We are in favor of a protective tariff. We had such a tariff. While it was in foico we had pro peri ty, good times and money in plenty. We had so diversified, our domestic industries thai. American labor and American capital suppliec nearly ali the wants of the American people. We prefer to tax foreign produc tion rather than our own. We believe that the policy of protection should bo extended to all productions impartially, to labor on the farm as well as in tbo workshops. We are opposed to tho Dem ocratio policy ot protecting woolen man ufacturers and admitting foreign wool freo of duty. We denounce a scheme of taxation which annually increases the public debt moro than |50,000,000. This is the result of Democratic ascendancy. The tariff law of the last congress is part ly a copy of tho McKinley law and gener ally a failure.
