Congressman Morgan s Able An
swerto the New York Cinun-
1
her ot Commerce.
Recently the New Yoik Chamber
of Commerce, at a largely attcneJeil 1
meeting adopted the following pre
amble aud reHolutions, a copy of
which was forwarded to Congress
man Morgan, of this district, for
his views, to which he made this ex
plicit and able response:
Whereas, The country has often
suffered greatly by reason of hasty
and ill advised financial legislator,
and
Whereas, It is now sulk-ring from
the effect of the silver purchasing
clause- of the Sherman act, which, by
creating distrust to the interchange
ability of our currency based on sil
ver with our currency baseo on gold
has caused widespread alarm, and
has almost created a commercial
panic; and
Whereas, In consequence of this
alarm money is withdrawn from cir
culation, business is greatly depress
ed, many mill and manufactories wrj
closing, or preparing to close, and
thousands of loboring men are about
to be thrown out of employment; and
Whereas, Business enterprises
will not be resumed nor labor be
steadily employed until money can
be obtained by manufacturers and
by merchants at moderate rates; aud
Whereas, Ordiuary interest rates
cannot be expected until confidence
in the stability of all the money of
the country shall bo thoroughly re
established, so that the lender may
not fear repayment in dollars less
valuable than those he lends:
Ba it ltesolved, That the repeal of
the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, which, mouth by
month, renders increasingly difficult
the maintenance of the parity of each
dollar with every other dollar, is es
sential to the prompt restoration of
national prosperity. This chamber,
therefore, urges the speedy and un
conditional repeal of such bilver
purchasing clause.
' Resolved, That in the judgment
of thi9 chamber a representative
commission should be appointed by
congress, at the special session about
to convene, which commission should
dilligeutly study the whole body of
coinage and currency laws of the
United States and of other countries
and leport at the regular sessiou of
congress, to the end that a compre
hensive plan for a safe and elastic
currency may be carefully matured
in the light of the world's experience.
Resolved, That a committee of
seven members be appointed by the
chair to co operate with other com
mercial bodies representing similar
interests as this chamber, in Wash
ington, with power to use ail legit
imate means for the prompt repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sher
man Aef?
The president appointed as a com
mittee the above resolution, Messrs.
John Clailin, chairmau; Henry Hentz,
Gustave II. Schwab, Win. L. Treu
holm, Cornelius N. Bliss, J. Edward
Simmns and John Sloane.

MR. MORGAN'S REPLY.
Lamar, Mo., July 15th. lSi3.
chamber of Commerce, atat of New York.
Gentlemen The preamble and
resolutions adopted by your body
July Gth, 03, duly received. You
say "Whereas, This country has suf
fered greatly by reason of h;vty and
ill advised financial legislation." This
uo doubt, to some exteut, at ietst, is
true. The financial policy of the
republican party in force in this
country from "t!2 to the present mo
ment is not only ill-advised but
wicked. It is the creature, however,
of the so-called financiers of the
country, that is to say, of the capi
talists of New York city; has at all
times received their support and
been maintained through their in
strumentalities in spite of the fears,
protests and suffering of the people, j
The very law you ask congress to i
repeal, "The Sherman act of 'JO,
was endorsed and supported by you
as well as every other enactment of
congress necessary to carry out such
tjolicv. As a democrat I have not
believed in and have denounced the j
financial policy of the government all
the years it has been in force since
the war. j
It does appear to me that the gov- j
eminent of the United States has ;
not been wisely and honestly a -.vised
and that it is time to take a new do '
parture. Under the republican Jul j
icy we have been pursuing according j
to your resolution, a deplorable c j-i- j
dition has been create I. '"D.otru-t.
wide spread alarm, almunt comuier
cial panic has been pro lueed "
Money is withdrawn from ci cuia
tion; business is depressed." "Mum
mills and manufactories ate i-io-in.
and thousands of laboring men an
about to be thrown out of employ
meut." The remedy y ou suggest is
a continuation of the policy that is
responsible for ail the ills you enu
merate. I am no homeopathist, aud do not
believe in the doctrine of "similia
siinilubus curanter." Will try no
longer the "hair 01 the dog as ai
"cure for Lis bite ' In mv
UlUU
the time has come to make a radical
change, and on the f denioer-U-ic
principles as set forth .n Vw plat
form of eveiy national democratic
convention. I call your attention,
especially to the democratic platform
of '1)2. which declares in favor of
both gold ami silver as tdandurd
money of the couutry. Upon this
platform the president and demo
cratic members of congress were
elected and the provisions of which
they are by every consideration of
honor and good faith bound to car
ry out. To do this the Sherman law
should be repealed, but at the same
time, in the same bill, the old dam
ocratic law for the free aud unlimited
coinage of silver be re enacted.
The present depressed condition
of affairs, the suspension of silver
coinage in India, instead of being a
cause for the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman law, aud therefore a
complete demonetization of silver
and an attempt to do business on a
gold basis alone, is the strongest
possible argument in favor of a re
turn by this government to the like
use of both gold and silver, which
with the greenbacks now in circula
tion on a par with gold aud silver
will furnish an excellent currency for
the country.
A further contraction of the cur
rency that must ensue by the adop
tion of a gold basis alone will afford
uo relief to the country on the con
trary will increase the distress and
suffering of the people.
What the west and south need to
day, as well as a majority of the
people of the north aud east, is
higher prices for the products of
their industry, rather than a lower
rate of interest. With the best farm
iug lauds in the world yielding
abundant harvests, the richest mines
with a constantly increasing pro
duction, a steady and industrious
people, a good government, the
cause for hard times may be sought
and found in the fact that legisla
tion has been dictated bv capitalistic
4.
interests represented by you. for
your sole benefit and agaiust the
general welfare. A change is desira
ble. Reform is demanded and will
be made, I hope, by the present
congress, but not in the direction
indicated by you. The people must
rely upon themselves, legislate for
their own interests, and no longer
blindly accept as gospel truths the
selfish advice of those who favor a
contracted currency, and an increase
of the purchasing power of money.
The unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law would be an almost
fatal blow to the further use of sil
ver money iu this couutry. I am
not prepared to join jiauds iu strik-
iug that blow
Nor have I much
faith iu your resolution, "Resolved,
thai iu the judgment of this cham-
ber a representative commission
should be appointed by congress at
the special sessiou about to convene,
which commission should diligently
study the whole body of coinage and
currency laws of the United States
and of other countries, and report
at the regular sessiou of congress,
to the end that & comprehensive cor
rency may be carefully matured in

Tlie present congress cannot es- i
cape its responsibility to the people, j
aud should not attempt to shirk the
discharge of its duties. If it lacks
the ability and patriotism to meet

threaten us, the people have a con

' Turn about is fair play." Yuu
have advised me in a respectful and
proper manner. Now let me in clos
ig give you some advice:
From this time henceforth forever
religiously refrain from attempting
to unduly influence the legislation
of the country iu the interests of
capital and against the people.
Never again make the attempt to
secure legislation by. congress for
your own class and your own inter
ests, by cultivating aud promoting
a stringency of money and a depres
sion of business.
Leave undisturbed to the couutry
the greenbacks now iu circulation
with free coinage of both gold aud
silver of the weight and fineness now
provided by law.
Be content with the prosperity of
the agricultural, commercial and
manufacturing industries of the
whole country.

A (Jitld Strike Near Aspen.
Aspeu, Colo , July 2tj. Much ex
citemeut has been aroused heie
among the mining men aud prospec
tors oyer the rich developments of
gold mining about fifteen miles from
Aspen. The place is known as Gold
Hill. John Manning, an old pros
pector, discovered rich gold quaitz
about two years ago, and has been
diligently locating claims and devel
oping them ever since. Assays have
been made from these various prop
erties showing them to run from 5
to ot) ounces iu gold. They can not
at present be worked at an advantage
as they have no facilities for treating
the ore. However, arrangements
are being made for the erection of a
stamp mill, which will rapidly de
velop the camp.
It is not good taste for ex Presi
dent, Harrison to be "ivies' out ft r
publication the utterances attributed
to him holding the present admiuis
tratiou responsible for the financial
situation. A surgeon who, summon
ed to the scene of an accident, iu
stead of setting limbs and binding
wouuds, should proceed to inquire
how the calamity was brought about
and whether it could not have been
avoided, would be straugely derelict
iu his professional duties. Yet his
conduct would be very much like
that of men of high standing like
Gen. Harrison who become critical
when they should be remedial. They
"do rub the wound" when they
should "bring the plaster." There
is abundance of time in the future
for the discussion of causes and the
location of responsibilities The
thiug to do now is to hope for sun
shine until sunshine conies. Glebe

San Diego, Cal , July 23. -The
ruins of a prehistoric city have just j
been discovered by a party of pros-;
pectors from Yuma, when on the j
Colorado desert iu search of the

,; bare the walls and the remains c-f
; stone buildings. For a distance
i 420 feet in length bv 2b'0 feet
of
width gigantic pillars, quaintly
i carved to represent dragon's heads
! and rattlesnakes, still stood in the
j sand of tht desert, supporting on
tueir tops uuge slabs i granite
weighing many tons. TLeituze or
uainentatiou resembled Egyptian
sculpture and exhibited a greater
i uegree oi ssiu man is possessed lv
the Indian artisans of the tu t Sent
day. Fragments of pottery were
found underneath the debris and
together with the crumbled pieevs
of frieze brought by one of the pros
pectors to this city. Prospector
Ferguson called the matter to the
attention of II. C. Cordon, who in
terested John F. Gay, Jr . a wealthy
man of this city, in the discovery,
aud week ago yesterday, in company
with four others, ihey went to the
desert to explore the ruins. They
were driven back by a sand storm,
reaching this city today, but will
make a careful examination of the
rums in a season when the condi
tions are favorable for extended ex
ploration. From the relics exhibited
it is evident au important archa-olo-gical
discovery has been ma le.
