2 MORGAN ON SILVER ALABAMA'S SENATOR SPEAKS IN FAVOR OF FREE COINAGE. AT THE GRIFFITH CONVENTION. He Replies to Secretary Carlisle’s Ar gnments and Attacks President Cleveland—Gives the Democratic Record on the Financial Question- Says the South Is Debtor to the North as the United States is Debtor to Eng land—An Appeal to the Popnlists. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: In •oming to a Georgia convention, on your kind invitation, where the question of the free coinage of silver is the topic of discussion, I feel at home with you, because Alabama is a mother to me and she is Georgia’s only grand-daughter, and the question is a family trouble. I come as a Democrat in Democratic harness and by authority of the settled creed, to advocate Democratic principles, as old and as sound as the great national part}. I am here as a disciple of Jeffer son, Madison and Jackson and many others of our consecrated fathers, to speak in defense of an act of Congress, that was approved by George Washing ton in 1793 for the free coinage of silver; which was re enacted in 1837, and was approved by Andrew Jackson, President of the United States; and was stabbed below the fifth rib by John Sherman in 1873, and was left for dead. Mr. Sherman’s law of 1873, was such a death blow to silver, as a money metal, that it seems marvellous that silver has in it enough of life left to take up its bed and walk. But it is moving to the front with up lifted head and vigorous step, again in union, if not in full har mony with gold, and the parade is so inspiriting that even great Britain is “keeping step to the music of the union.” The Only Constitutional Currency. I come to this convention, professing the creed of the national Democracy, as it tv as promulgated in 1836, to check the threatening power of the bank of the United States, which has transmitted to its illegitimate progeny -the National Banks—all of its vices, and few of its virtues. That decree was in these words: “We declare unqualified hostility to bank notes and paper money as a circu lating medium, because gold and silver is the only constitutional currency.” Van Buren was "'elected President on that declaration of political principle, and, before he was inaugurated, Presi dent Jackson approved the second and amendatory act for the free and equal coinage of silver and gold, on the de mand of the holder of bullion, at the ratio of sixteen grains of silver to one grain of gold. The silver dollar of 412 12 grains of standard silver was con tinued as the unit of value, as it was in the act of 1792, approved by George Washington, and the silver dollar was made full legal tender money for all debts, public and private, and so the law remained until 1873. As a Democrat I am here to advocate thqre enactment of that law of 1837, for the free and equal coinage and the full legal tender of both gold and silver. That is my test of true bi metallism. Populist and Republican Friends. It is quite probable that there are Republicans here who are anx ious as I am to see that law re enacted. For twenty years I have sat by such Republicans in the Senate and voted with them on these questions, and, also, for the repeal of those elec tion laws and force bills that have hov ered over the country like a nightmare for thirty years or more. I have been greatly gratified to find them in such good company and so patriotically serv ing the country, and I hope they will , continue in well-doing. There are Populists, 1 am sure, who Still love to hear the creed of the old Democratic party of Jefferson, and are ready to join in the great Psalm, “I will return unto the house of my father.” 1 can scarcely forgive them for the pet tishness and folly of leaving the Demo cratic party and going away from the true friends of silver, in a strange cam paign for the Ocala platform, at the time when they were so sorely needt d by the true Democracy in the help of the Lord against the mighty. They never left the Democratic party for any fault they found in its principles, and they should return to camp and in future stand by the colors. They forgot the power of the true Democracy in the resurrection of principles and policies that seemed to have died the death. Let them survey these green fields and ripening harvests; these rose embowered homes, these great industries that move with thrifty progress to supply the ma terials of commerce to the outer world Let them see the peaceful and benign justice that rules here and protects life, liberty, property and the pursuit of hap piness, in the name of the civil law and through its saving and restoring power. Let them turn back the leaves of mem ory to the not distant period when this fair land trembled under the feet of in vading armies, and fields were devas tated, and homes were in ashes, and life, liberty and property were without the guardianship of law, and the only happi ness was found in honorable memories of the heroic dead, and in watering their newly made graves with tears. If they will ask themselves a single question, and answer it candidly, they will return to the Democratic party of Georgia and abide with it, whatever fate the National Democracy may assign to silver or gold. The question is, “Whose restoring power has brought Georgia back to life and renewed her strength and the pride of her former glory ?” The answer is, that “this is the work of the Demo cratic party. God bless it.” Democracy’s Record. Since he supposed death-wound that was ii 11. . ted on silver money, by the first, hnei man Act of 1873, the Demo cratic party aided by a small but intrepid band of Republicans who are true to the Constitution, have restored silver to all its former rights, except that of free coinage, and its designation as the unit of value. For the purpose of showing the united and almost unanimous action of the Democrats in the United States Senate since 1873, on the free coinage of silver, allow me to read the record of the votes of Democratic Sehators on the several bills and resolutions relating to this sub ject that have passed that body. You see that we began the fight as early as 1877, and, after full debate, we voted on resolutions offered by Hon. Stanley Matthews, then a Republican Senator from Ohio, and afterwards, one ot the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. I will read only the votes of Demo crats, first reading the resolution which was the opening shot of the great cam paign, not yet ended: “44th Congress, January 16, 1878. “Matthews Resolution. “Resolved, That all the bonds of the United States, issued or authorized to be issued, under the said acts of Congress herein before recited, are payable, prin cipal and interest, at the option of the Government of the United States in silver dollars of the coinage of the Uni ted States containing four hundred and twelve and a half grains each of stand ard silver; and that to restore to its coinage such silver coins as a legal ten der in payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not a violation of the public faith nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor.” Yeas on adoption of above resolution : Democrats—Armstrong, Bailey, Beck, Coke, Davis of W. Va., Dennis, Eustis. Gordon, Grover, Hereford, Johnston, Jones of Florida, McCreery, McDonald, Maxey, Merrimon, Morgan, Ransom, Saulsbury, Thurman, Voorhees, Wal lace, W ithers. Total —23. Nays—Democrats.— Barnum, Bayard, Eaton, Lamar, Randolph, Kenna, Mc- Pherson. Total—7. Now I will read the vote of Democratic Senators on the bill to remonetize the standard silver dollar, February 18, 1878. Democratic yeas and nays on the passing of the bill over the veto of Presi dent Hayes. (This act is known as the Bland-Allison law.) Yeas—Democrats. —Bailey, Garland, Jones of Fla., Thurman, Beck, Gordon, McCreery, Voorhees, Cockrell, Grover, McDonald, Wallace,',Coke, Harris, Maxey Withers, Davis of W. Va., Herefore, Merrimon, Dennis, Hill, Morgan, Eustis, Johnston, Saulsbury. Total—2s. Nays—Democrats.—Barnum,* Eaton, McPherson, Bayard, Kernan, Randolph, Butler, Lamar, White. Total—9. The next vote was in the 51st Congress, Ist session, in the Senate June 17, 1890, on a bill to provide for the free coinage of 'gold and silver and for other pur poses. Yeas—Democrats.—Bate, Colquitt, Jones of Ark., Turpie, Berry, Daniel, Kenna, Vance, Boldgett, Eustis Morgan, Vest, Butler, Call, Cockrell: Coke, George, Gorman, Harris, Hearst, Pasco, Payne, Pugh, Ransom, Voorhees, Walthall.— Total 26. Nays—Democrats.—McPherson, Wil son, Gray.—Total 3. The next vote was in the 51st Con gress, 2nd session on a bill to provide against the contraction of the currency, and for other purposes, by Mr. Stewart, January 5, 1891, to which Mr. Vest offered a free coinage bill as a substitute. Democratic yeas on Vest s substitute, which passed and was a full free coinage measure.—Barbour, Daniel, Kenna, Vest, Bate, Eustis, Morgan, Voorhees, Berry, Faulkner, Pasco, Walthall, Blackhurn, Gibson, Pugh, Butler, Gorman, Reagan, Cockrell, Hampton, Turpie, Coke, Jones, of Arkansas, Vance.—Total 24. Nays— Democratic.—Wilson.—Total 1. The next vote was in the 52nd Con gress, 2nd session, July Ist, 1892, on a bill to provide for the free coinage of gold and silver bullion and for other pur poses. Democratic Yeas and Nays on the bill which passed, as amended:—Yeas— Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Blodgett, But ler, Cockrell, Faulkner, George, Harris, Hill, Kenna, Mills, Morgan, Ransom, Turpie, Vest.—Total 16. Nays—Democrats —Brice, Carlisle, Gorman, Gray, McPherson, Palmer, White. Total, 7. It was feared by some Democratic Senators that the passage of this bill !"i2ht embarrass the candidacy of Mr. Cleveland. On the next vote in the 53d Congress, first session, the Democrats were di vided—l 9 to 20. Democratic yeas and nay 3 on the pass age of the bill to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman law of July 14, 1890: Yeas—Brice, Caffrey, Camden, Faulk ner, Gibson, Gorman, Gray, Hill, Hun ton, Lindsay, McPherson, Mills, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Murphy, Ransom, Smith, Turpie, Vilas, Voorhees, White of Louisiana. Total, 20. Nays—Bate, BerTy, Blackburn, But ler, Call, Cockrell, Coke, Daniel, George, Harris, Irby, Jones of Arkansas, Martin, Pasco, Pugh, Roach, Vanoe, Vest, Walt hall. Total, 19. Sheiraan and Northern Democrats. On this vote Voorhees, Turpie, Mills, Hunton, Camden, Faulkner and Ran som, who are to-day as firm for free coinage as Thurman or Beck ever were, went with the Sherman Republicans be cause they hoped to save our party from a permanent disagreement with the Pres idenf. Several Democrats, including myself, were paired against the bill. These test votes, taken in four Con grt sses, and covering a period of sixteen years, show that, from the beginning the battle for the restoration of silver to free coinage and full legal tender power, Mr. Sherman, the destroyer of silver money and the ally of Great Britain in setting up the single standard, was in full accord with every Democratic Sena tor from New York and throughout New England, except Mr. Hill. In 1878, the Democratic votes cast against silver money were 7, against 23. Iu the second vote of 1878, they were 9, against 25. In 1890, they were 3, against 26. In 1891, there was onevote* against 24 (This was after Mr. Clove land’s defeat, when we were musteriug our forces to regain power). In 1892, after Mr. Cleveland’s second nomination they were 7, against 16. Thus we see that, ou all the test bal lotiugs—five in number—from 1878 to 1893, Democratic Senators voted 114 votes for silver, and 27 votes, that are claimed for the single gold standard, and are so justly claimed, when the final The News and Observer, Friday, July 19, ’vs result is considered, notwithstanding their oft repeated asseverations that they were the friends of bi metallism. I do not criticise them. I only feel sure that their zeal for the holders of wealth, got the better of their regard for the people and obscured their vision as to the then approaching ruin. As to the Democracy of the situation, I feel com fortable that my votes were numbered with the 114 against the 27. Good Company to Be lu. 1 do not believe that a Democrat was ever in better company than with such men as Thurman, Beck, Harris, Bate, Pugh, Grover,|Wallace, Saulsbury, Voor hees, DcDonald, Withers, Daniel, Hun ton, Vance, Gordon, Colquitt, Walthall, Bate, Jonas of Arkansas, Berry, Coke, Maxey, Hereford,Davis of West Virginia, Kenna, Faulkner, Turpie, Ransom, Jones of Florida, Call, Pasco, McCreery, the elder and greater, Johnston, Dennis, Merrimon, Bailey, Cockrell, Vest, Eustis, Hill of Georgia, Gibson, Gorman, Payne, Hearst, Blackburn, George, Hampton, Butler, Blodgett, Mills, Reagan, Bar bour, and Hill of New York, and others who if they had been then in the Senate would have voted for the free coinage of silver, at the ratio of 16 to 1, with the full legal tender power of redemption. Whatever doubts, or vagaries, may have troubled the minds of these great men, while pessimistic prophets of evil were dinning their wailings into their ears, when they thus voted they gave their solemn approval of the measure, from which, only auact of repentance could exonerate them. That door of escape is always open to an honest man, but, occasionally, some try to escape under-gound. I have named Garland and Lamar, who were iu Mr. Cleveland’s first Cab inet. Garland voted for free silver and would, afterwards, have died of neglect, but that brave and good man would not die until God has called him. He is still very much alive in his voluntary retire ment from public life, which the South deeply regrets. In a letter to the President of the Memphis con vention, he makes a critique on Mr. Carlisle, of the second Cabinet of Mi. Cleveland, which I will quote : Ex-Secretary Garland on Carlisle. “Mr. Carlisle, true, now speaks in lan guage differing essentially from that used by him in 1878; and we must not answer him with a sneer or a contempt uous hoot, or a Podsnappian ejaculation; that will not do. He has the right t:> change his opinions; yea, more, if hon estly he believed he was wrong then, it is his duty to change them now and give the reasons for the faith that is in him. It is said that fools and dead men alone never change their opinions. We were all, I believe—for one I know I was glad when he wes called to the high trust now in his hands, and no breath of sue picion as to his honesty of purpose, I an. sure, will be fanned or encouraged m any way by those who know him,—not by a single one, but meet his arguments now with his arguments then. To mj mind, after reading both, then and now his reasons and arguments then are far superior In logic, in force, and in direct explanation, to those he now sends forth. He was then about 43 years old, having served Kentucky in many high places, in close communion with his con stituents constantly—the electricity be tween him and them was kept fresh and warm all the time—his intellect keen and at its best, and his environments all told him to know well and study closely the wants of the people; and so com pletely did he do this that he came to the Senate, and a great mantle fell upon him, which to wear was honor and fame enough for any one. Confront him then with his views and his reasons therefor in 1878, and trust to their weight and superiority.” I will make one other quotation from this able, terse and characteristic letter of Mr. Attorney General Garland, which somewhat anticipates my argument, but “a sound stone is never out of place in any strong edifice.” “It is not possible there is any real basis for the fear sometimes expressed, that bringing silver back to its proper status will cause foreign nations to ‘dump’ all their silver here and smother us. Where is it, to this extent, to come from ? Who has got it * The emptiness of this charge was fully exposed by Sen ator Jones, of Nevada, in his remarka ble speech, a very pandect of informa tion on this question and cognate ques tions—delivered in the United States Senate in October, 1893, and in that speech Senator Jones showed conclu sively, if there were grounds for such a fear, we could easily, by wise and judi cious laws, protect ourselves against any such efforts. “Is it fair to degrade, demonetize sil ver, and then to complain it is of little value? This, with all due respect to everybody, is bordering on the ‘vulgar leggerdemain of .sophistry’—it is taking advantage of one’s wrong—it is a com plaint that one cannot see, after himself stirring up the dust —it is the logic the wolf uses against the lamb—it is to allege the source of the stream has been befouled and poisoned by its mouth—the effect is put be fore the cause, and indeed ‘it is to vindicate oppression by pointing to the deprivation which oppression has pro dueed.’ This mode of argument lacks that element without which no human speech or conduct is of value or entitled to one moment’s respect—fairness. This absent, and the words are meaningless and empty. And the cause driven to this kind of assertion must, in the nature of things, be helpless, whatever of intel lect or high patriotic purposes may come to its support. The friends of silver need not dread or fear auen weapons, they can meet them successfully, lam confident, on all parts of the ground, and they should put on their armor and gird themselves for the struggle until it is completed to a finish. “And now and here, just as soon as possible, this controversy should be set tled-no more evasion—no more strad dling—no more postponing. The coun try and the business of the country, re gardless of personal or party ambition or success, want it settled aud they are entitled to have it settled as quickly as can be. Let business and the laws know and understand each other, and adjust themselves accordingly, for not till then will the country be prosperous and at ease again. “We of the United States, of all people of the earth, by this time ought to know, and I think we do know, the great un wisdom of tampering with aud dodging questions vital ro the couutry. This de layed, much more, and sickness, prostra tion, paralysis aud death are near at hand. And much will, I venture to say, depend upon the action of this conven tion; and with a heart full of wishes for its complete success, it will, I do hope, come manfully and squarely to the work and announce its views in no uncertain terms.” Justice Lamar on Silver. Mr. Jus'ice Lamar, who was a member of Mr. Cleveland’s Cabinet, I mention with as much pride as any Georgian could —this eminent and his'oric name— aud the illustrious man who bore it with honor to his country. His great and honest mind was always open to the truth as an honored guest, and his powers of penetration and reflection were equal to any subtle difficulty, as his courage was equal to any danger. His beloved friend Senator Walthall, of Mississippi, who has worn the triple crown of honor expressed in three com missions, as Senator, two of them at the same titne, voted always, for the free coinage of silver. Knowing that he had stated that La mar had changed opinion on the silver question after he left the Senate to go upon the Supreme Court Bench of the United States, I wrote to Senator Wal thall and asked him for a statement of the facts. I will read his letter in reply to mine. “Grenada, Miss., July 8, 1895 “My Dear General:—Yours of the 6th inst received. The marked passage in the enclosed extract contains a conserva tive statement of Mr. Lamar’s position on the silver question, as I derived it from frequent conversations with him. Some of them not long before his death. “He did not advocate the adoption of the single gold standard in his great speech on the Matthews resolution aud if he entertained snch a view at that time he undoubtedly reversed it some time before bis death. “With best wishes, yoursincere friend, “E. C. Walthall. “To Senator Morgan.” The following is the statement re ferred to in the letter I have just read : “This is the very question which in 1878 produced the temporary jar, the only one that ever occurred, between the people of Mississippi, or some of them, and my lamented predecessor, Mr. Lamar, who before and afterwards was their favorite leader. It will be remem bered that he voted in this body agaiDSt the free coinage of silver, in violation of the instructions of the Legislature of his State, and was afterwards unanimously re elected after a brilliant campaign, in which he boldly and triumphantly justi fied his course. “The views of this great man always had peculiar weight with me, and iu this connection I may be pardoned if I say that in contending for bi metallism to-day I feel that I am supported by his expressions to me not long before bis death, and previously, to others as well as to myself, of cordial acquiescence in the bi metallic policy to which he said he considered the country and his party were committed, with the duty to be performed of removing the remaining disturbing element by readjusting the ratio.” Here is a Rowland for Mr. Carlisle’s Oliver, and we of the Gulf coast know how well Mr. Lama waseutitled to con fidence in his masterly abilities and his conscientious courage. It is surmised, I do not know how trnly, that Mr. Hill, of New York, voted for the free coinage of silver in 1892, at the ratio of 16 to 1, only iu a Pickwickian sense. Such away of voting may be in vogue in a State where the Democratic party is divided Into “Snapper” and “Anti-Snapper” fac tions; where one leader “snaps” and the other leader “anti-snaps” and between the two the party is consigned to Jonas’ quarters in the belly of the Republican whale. If Mr. Hill was forced into such a voyage by the “anti snappers” in 1892, it may be safely calculated that he will kick himself on shore again in due sea son. All great bodies, when they move.prt - ceed in circles, and if Mr. Hill is not for free coinage of silver, we shall know the fact when the great tempest of 1896 has swnng around its circle, probably not sooner. But my faith in him is such that I shall expect to find him in company with Salisbury, Balfour aud Goschen, in, at least an approximation to the demands of the people of the world for the restor ation of silver to the industrial millions who toil for home and bread. Creditor and Debtor States. New York and the New England States, j recently increased in financial power by ! the annexation of New Jersey J and Delaware, are old States, with great reserves of money and credit, which seek a market in the richest fields of the South and West. No matter how they have gained this ascendarcy over Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, their sister rebels in 1776, or by what arts of taxation ind appro priation they have grown so rich, they are creditor States, as England is a credi tor country, and they use their power over their younger sister States, as Great Britain uses, hers over the whole Ameri can people. Ido not wonder that they adopt the same financial schemes of leg islation that Great Britain employs, to consolidate their power and make it per petual, but I do wonder and regret that the outlying States, not yet induced in this grand syndicate of gold-absorbing States shall fail to command the obedi ence of Congress and the Executive to the laws we have enacted for the relief of this degrading and perilous situation. Above all, I protest that the single stan dard of coinage and legal tender money will not be foisted upon the Democratic party, as the true creed, against the often recorded votes of a majority of more than two thirds of the Democrats iu both houses of Congress during the past twenty years, and against the un broken voice of the party, since Jeffer son and his contemporaries established the free coinage of silver, as a reserved right ot the people, in all the language expressed in the Constitution or implied from the surrounding facts, in the light of which all laws are to be interpreted. Mr. Cleveland, in his financial policy has agreed with the North Eastern States, that furnish the candidates for the Na tional Democratic party, and elect the I candidates of the National Republican party, and he demands, along with them, that the gold issue shall be considered apart from and above party creeds and I all party precedents, aud that “the solid | South" that has voted for him solidly in ] three consecutive elections, shall be j broken. | If he will break all that will not bend ! to his power we will still stand erect ! until the tempest has swept over us, and j will be found broken only when we are I dead at our posts, where we have so | long and so faithfully battled for the old j Democratic creed under the flag of Jes ; ferson and Jackson, but he will find us ready for the first resurrection, with no Republican or British goats in our (lock. lam grateful to Mr. Cleveland—we all are—for sharing with us some of the abundance of power, riches and honors, that we bestowed upon him and his friends. The silver men and the friends of the Senate tariff tbank him earnestly tor putting I/vmar and Garland in his first Cabinet, and for placing in his second Cabinet three Secretaries from the South, out of eight. It was an act of great, magnanimity towards Secretary Carlisle that after he was a caud date against Mr. Cleveland in 1892, and he was the leading favorite with the silver men, he should be selected for so impor tant a place. This was not done, however until Mr. Carlisle had changed front on the silver question, and voted against the bill for the free coinage in the Senate, after he had voted for it in the House, or was paired in favor of that measure. His conver sion was not like that of Paul who espoused error, was made blind aud then saw the truth and embraced it; but like that of Aaron who saw the truth and lie came blinded to it, and espoused ti e darkness of Egypt, typified in a golden calf. I would have liked Mr. Cleveland b.tter if, after having denounced the Senate for amending the Wilson bill, he had not consigned the Senate tariff bill to the obloquy of his sovereign con tempt, by refusing to sign it, when every Democrat in the Senate, save one, voted for it. Yet we should not grieve over that, for his silent contempt for that measure seems to be already changed into tu multous hosannahs in all the camps of mugwumpers. I would have liked him better if he had said, in the beginning, that he was the unflinching friend, as he is, of the single gold standard. The silver section of the Sherman act of 1890 was repealed July 14, 1893. The re storation of confidence was withheld un til the fall of 1894, when it began to bud. Two cotton crops and two wheat crops, and millions of our silver, had been bought at London prices—the lowest on record. We had become so depressed with the vast abundance of our crops, that tbe great majority of Democrats in the House voted for a general law of bankruptcy. It came to the Senate and we insisted that if the banks would un lock their vaults and make money easy, there would oe no need of a bankrupt law. We preferred to put a silver key iuto the hands of the people, that would un lock the banks, if they still refused to show their confidence in the laboring people and held their money back for the gamblers in bonds, stocks and food. A Tab to The Whale. The banks saw the hand-writing on the wall, and it was interpreted to them by the attitude of the Senate, and in many great conventions of the people, like this grand demonstration; they opened up their discount decks and money became easier. This was delayed, however, until our last crops of wheat and cotton bad gone into the ownership of the speculators, who made more than two cents a pound profit ou our cotton, and more than 20 cents a bushel on wheat. In the meantime the Senate tariff bill had moved the wheels of indus try, and they began to leave the dead center of paralysis. Confidence in man ufactures and trade was iDspired by that law, and “the bearj” in Wall Street could no longer hold down the markets. The restoration of confidence through the repeal of the silver clause in the Sherman law, had proved to be a dream of disappointment and the certificates issued un :er it were converted into gold obligations by tbe fatal option of the Secretary of the Treasury. These alone required *160,000,000 of gold coin for their redemption. Bonds were issued, iu a year and a half, to the amount of *160,000,000 to balance the equation, and this is the real off spring, the legiti mate fruit of amending the Sherman law, under the pretense of repealing the “cowardly make shift.” (TO BE CONTINUED TO MORROW.)
