said Mr. Millet, "bi : it h is never been

The para le was a big one an 1 a One

Th??5 Hare Indorsed An Ojvn i.~rt-r to t^*
Senate of the United State? t*rouoshig
a Kant* Fur the Settlement ut
the Great Mirer Quostioit.
T^titladklphia, Sept. 20.?A large
number of Philadelphia mnnufactur: rs
have determined to make an effort to
protect their own interests by makin :
an alliance with the friends of silver.
To that end they have indorse i an
open letter to the senate of the Cni
States, written by Wharton Barker,
which proposes a basis for the settle?
ment of the silver quest ion by which
silver may be continued n? u money
metal.
The manufacturers who have inau?
gurated this movement do not attri*
bate the present hard times to the
Sherman law. They assert that it is
due to the fear that the protective fea?
ture of the tariff is to bo undermined.
They hold that if assurance were given
that the existing tariff laws would, riot
be disturbed for the next two years,
business would take an immediate
boom, mills would start in all parts of
the country, and employment would
be given to thousands of the working
men. . ..... r,... j. . : '." ."
While holding these views they r.Iso
believe that It would be a mistake to
demonetize Kilver. These manufac?
turers believe that in many respect*
their interests are allied with the mine
owners' of tiie silver states. It was
that belief which prompted the move?
ment among the 1'hiladelphia manu?
facturers to give encouragement to the
silver senators in their tight tocontini e
the white metnl as a part of the cur?
rency of the I'nited States.
W hile the Manufacturers' club, as an
organization, has not committed itself
to tiie movement, many of Its leading
members are interested in it- .lames
Dobson is one of the prune movers, and
his name is at tiie top of the list of
signers of Mr. Barkers letter. II.? lias
also sent a letter over Iiis own name to
nearly all the manufacturers in the<
asking them to read Mr. Barker's l< 11 r.
which he inclosed, and if they appro*,
of it to sign a blank slip and send their
names to Mr. Barker.
