This morning a business meeting was held, (ilonel William F. Switzer of Bonneville presided. H. J. Groves of Lexington, secretary. Committees on permanent organisation and address were appointed. At 11 oclock Hon. R. P. Bland delivered an address at Association Park. At the afternoon conference a iierma-neorganisation was effected by the election of W. F. Switzer of Boonovllle ns president, and one from each Congressional district; H. J. Groves of iAxlugton. secretary; C. J. Waldnn of Nevada treasurer. Governor W. J. Stone brfcily addressed the editors, advocating a thorough organisation preparatory for the battle next year for free silver. At conference the editors adopted an address to the people of Missouri on the silver Issue. MR. BLANDS SPEECH. Mayor llaslan delivered the address of welcome at the opening of the conference. He was followed by Bland, who spoke in part as follows; Those countries which have silver have none to spare. If they bring It to ua they are compelled to exchange It for property, real estate and produce. If Bllver was coined, the people would not have to take any more of it than they wanted. Aa for exchanging it for gold, no man could be forced to give gold fur Bllver, Every statistician says that an American Is greater In productive power than two or more men of any foreign country, therefore we need twice as much money. Mr. Bland claimed that the St. Louis Interview misrepresented his words rethe Democratic party. He did garding not say there was no Democratic party, but that It was disorganised and In a chaotic state. What would cement it Issue. together was the SENATOR COCKRELL. After dinner United States Senator F. M. Cockrell spoke on the financial Issue. He sold the pending financial Issue le simply whether the single standard of gold shall be continued or the true bimetallic system shall be restored. He stated that the movement for a single gold standard was started by highly-colore- d representations made to the International conference in Berlin In 1863 and culminated In the monetary conference of Paris In 1867. On the strength of these misrepresentations of the United States officials, the advocates of the gold standard pressed their cause until 1873, when they succeeded in carrying their point. Senator Cockrell quoted the Constitution to show that a double standard of gold and silver was the lawful money of the United States. The Senator claimed that the Democrats in Congress had never wavered in their efforts to restore bimetallism. The Senator went on to a considerable length to show that the Democratic party was the only party that has constantly advocated and practically supported the- free and unlimited coinage of silver, gold standard was opposed xdftallists, because there is not a suf&esft quantity ,of gold in the World "tp 4 Tfidy the demand for both industrial fid monetary uses. The Governments he said, had a remedy wherewith to retain the gold withdrawn during the troublous times some months ago. it was by redeeming greenbacks with silver. The speculators would have stopped presenting them, as they could have made nothing, and the greenbacks would have continued in circulating as they did from January 1, 1879, and not a dollar of bonds would have been Issued or necessary. The Senator advocated a restoration of bimetallism as a remedy for existing evils. He ridiculed the idea that the agitation of the ellver question will divide the Democratic party. On the contrary, such advocacy will maintain the partys fidelity to Democratic faith and will aid in preserving and strengthening the party. The idea that free coinage of silver would drive gold out of circulation was ridiculed. The nations, on account of the insufficiency of gold for all monetary uses and its utter unfitness for money of dollars or other smaller coins, cannot do without silver. Senator Cockrell quoted statistics as to the production of silver, shbwlng that there had been no to-d- ay HOKE SMITH OH SILVER. The Election of a Silver President Would Fill tha Land With Poverty and Distress Gold Would Be Driven Out and the Country Flooded With Silver The Cause of Lower Prices. Gainesville, Go., July 23. Secretary Hoke Smith of the Interior Department delivered here the lirt t of a series of three addresses in Geoigia on the lliiunelal issue. A tremendous crowd iissem tiled to hear the siieech, and he was cheered to the echo. He was introduced by Judge IVrry, who ' paid a glowing tribute to .President Cleveland, ilr. iimlth e;aike lr. liart as folluws: At Chleugo in 18112 the Democratic party, by Its representatives for the entire Union, voted down overwhelmingly tlie proposition of a delegate from Colorado to insert In the plutfurm the word "free," which would have made the platform declare fur free coinage of silver. The free silver advocates claim, first, that the act of 1873 was surreptitiously passed, and robbed the people of one-hathe money of final payment; second, that fur this reason there Is nut sufficient money of final payment, and the appreciation of gold has depreciated everything else. Upon these two propositions their entire arguments are based. The Secretary met the propositions by claiming, first, that the alleged contraction of money of final payment had not taken place; second, that the remedy would in reality drive one-ha- lf the money now In use out of circulation, and produce a contraction ruinous in its results. FALL IN PRICKS. The claim that gold has appreciated, the value of pro. thereby depreciating ducts, said he, is based upon the theory that the decrease in the value of silver and in the value of products has been contemporaneous. A careful examination of the facta shows this not to be true. The average decrease of commodities since 1872 has been about 20 per cent. The heaviest decline has been in the line of those things which the masses of the people buy. All those reductions in price are partly attributable to a lessened cost of production, and partly to the recent panic. While commodities have fallen 20 per cent, silver has fallen 50 per cent. The bullion in a silver dollar is only worth 52 cents; 23.8 grains of standard gold are worth 100 cents. To lift the value of 412 grains of silver in the United States from 50 to 100 cents, it would be necessary to lift ot-jj..Abe-valuthe silver In the .world to the Same extent, lew tne cost 'of transporting it to the United States. In addition to this, if the silver mines can afford to continue increasing their production as they have from 181,000,000 in 1873, to $214,481,000 in 1894, on a market which has fallen 50 per cent, what would they produce on a market which has risen 100 per cent? WOULD RUIN THE COUNTRY. 'The immediate effect of the election of a President committed to such a policy would be the separation of the gold and ellver dollar, the gold dollar going to a premium of about two for one, and we would lose at once of gold now In circulation and in the Treasury. The greenbacks and Treasury notes, $375,000,000 of which would still remain outstanding, would le hoarded in the hope that a free silver bill, if passed at all, would be soon repealed. This would take place Immediately after the election of a President In November, 1896, and probably even after the nomination by either of the greet parties of a free silver candidate. The new President could not be Inaugurated until March 4, 1897. During the six months or more before it would be possible to pass free sliver legislation, the contraction of the currency just described would precipitate the most serious consequences.

The Indians may yet be persuaded to return to their reservations without any more trouble. TOO LATE TO STOP IT. Return With the Bodies of Four Bucks. Pocatello, Ida., July 22. From present Indications the conflict between the settlers of the Jackson Hole country. Northeastern Idaho and Northwestern Wyoming, and the Indians is not ended. To-uwanderers arrived on the reservation, but are far from a peaceful frame of mind, for In the wagon they brought the bodies of four dead bucks. It had been given out all alrng that only one Indian was killed. One of the bucks said they were oniy earning to the reservation to get more ammunition and were going back to kill the white men. Agent Teter will request that the Seventh Infantry from Fort Russell, at Cheyenne, or the Eighth cavalry from Boise, be at once sent to this point, unless the Indians return quietly to their homes. J. C. Routs, a ranchman of Soda Springs, says the police told him that the Indians killed a white man. wife and child, and the settlers rallied and killed six Indians. THIS IS DIFFERENT.' Pocatello, Ida, July '22. Special to Tribune. There is no truth in the sensational reports regarding the Indian outbreak. have No demonstrations been made by the Indians, which si ways take place before hostilities are commenced. There is no excitement in Pocatello and no further trouble is anticipated. Indian Agent Teter le at the scene of trouble with his police to recall the Bannocks, which will surely be done. A report reached the city this morning that the three dead Indians, who were killed at Jackson Hole a few days ago, were brought back as far as Gray's lake and burled, on account of not being able to keep them longer. ay Watching Utah. BLOCKED Washington, D. C., July 23, 1895, It waa learned this afternoon that the Department of Justice, through one of the assistant Attorney-General- s, is carefully studying the new' Constitution of Utah. It is supposed that the object is to give an unofficial opinion to the Democracy of Utah upon the constitutionality of women voting in the coming election, and before the Territory becomes a State. howThe assistant Attorney-Genera- l, ever, denies that this supposition Is correct, and states that he merely wanted to become acquainted with the Instrument, as it refers to bunking. Washington, 1). t., July 23. Delegate Frank Cunnnn of Utah outllms what will probably prove a very interesting question in connection with tile election which is to take place in that Territory next November, when the Constitution adopted by the recent Constitutional Convention will be presented to the people for their ratification or rejection, and when also State and county officers will be voted for.. The Constitution provides for female suffrage, and the Ilemucrntlc leaders have taken the position that under this provision the women should be allowed to vote at the election in November, especially in view of the fact that officials are to lie elected. The Republicans, on the other hand, content! that 'tah is still a Territory, and that this lection must be held in accordance with the forma provided by Congress, which do not permit of the exercise of the elective franchise by women. A general effort on the rt of the ladle to vote might, in view of the conflicting claims, produce important complications in the future. Wallers Case. Washington, July 23. Mr. Cram-mon- d Kennedy, who has become a principal counsel in the case of Waller, now serving a sentence in a French jail for violation of the neutrality laws between this country and France railed at the State Department for the purpose of presenting certain phases of the case. Mr. is disposed to lay much stress Kennedy on the fact that at the time of Wallers arrest, there was no actual state of war between France and Madagascar. He contends that Waller, fur this reason, could not have been guilty of the charge on which he waa tried and con- ll i- General ' ul to-d- ay Jack-son- to-da- ' PROSPERITY. to-da- y.

Jeffery of the Denver A Rio Grande Railroad returned home this morning from London, where he attended the International congress of railway officials. While abroad Mr. Jeffery carefully interested himself in the financial situation, and, for most apparent reasons, since his line depends entirely upon ore shipments, and the abandonment of silver, if nut fatal, is at least disastrous to his company. He comes back with a sorry lew of affairs, and while he would not say so In so many words, gives views of influential English and German capitalists which clearly predict fur bimetallism no immediate progress. He had this to say on the silver question: I met a number of gentlemen in London who are bimetallists, and very strong ones. The general thought expressed by them is that the largely increased output of gold in South Africa, und the largely increased output of the same metal In Colorado and other parts of the United States, together with the indications of a returning prosperity In Great Britain, as well as the United States, will retard the advance of bimetallism. These gentlemen, whose names I withhold for obvious reasons, are all known over here, and they are authorities. They seemed to express their views, as I have just given them, with great reluctance. They were quite strong in the belief that the two conditions to which reference has been made would be very strong factors in the settlement of the of bimetallism. ' The belief question abroad is that Lord SalisGovernment not be at all will burys to take the initiative in regard disposed to bimetallism, even though some members of the Cabinet are outspoken friends of the cause. I made some inquiries as to the probable effect in Germany, that is, regarding the increased output of gold fields and the apparent return of prosperity, endeavoring to ascertain the possible action of the German Government. It waa quite the same there. German bimetallists thought that the two conditions mentioned would go tar towards retarding - early action upon the part of the Government in favor of bimetallism. The gentlemen who expressed these views unhesitatingly stated that they were wedded to the opinion that the world at large would be the better for bimetallism, and that It would come sooner or later. But the early advent uf it, which they were expecting, is, in their opinion, hardly to be expected now. In stating these views I but express the views of those with whom I talked and who have devoted years to a careful study of bimetallism and the best means of promoting that monetary policy. Regarding the condition of the commercial world, Mr. Jeffery continued: 'From what I could learn in England, It Is conceded there that there Is a return of prosperity in the United States. This is the opinion entertained by financiers and business men there. So real is this opinion that they all told me there would be much less reluctance In making investments in our country than during the past two nr three years. English capital must seek investment outside of Great Britain, and the field for it Is not very extensive beyond our own country and South Africa, which absorbs a great deal of English money. gold-standa- rd FIRE-BUG- BY .mill English and Germans Believe the Apparent Return of Better Times snd the Increased Output of Gold Will Retard the International Movement Capitalists Regain Confidence in Investments.
