Be Tells th Resolutions Commltt" the
Safety of tb World Depends on Silver.
Senator Teller's speech before the
Committee on Resolutions was not
an agreement. He simply told baw
painful it was to him to leave the
Republican party, but that his duty
and his principles forced him to
quit.. His speech in full was as
follows:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
this Committee: I have given this
subject which we are here discuss
ing the most careful attention that
any man could give it. I have giv
en it great study and thought for
many years, throughout a life of
public service, which I think ena
bles me to judge rightly and cor
rectly, and therefore, I have formed
my convictions. They are of such
a character, that to me they are al
most like gospel truth.
Xow, I admit that I may be wrong
in the position that I deiend here
to-day. .But having convinced my
own judgment, I have convinced
myself. I have tred to impress my
self with the fact that this is the
greatest question that has been pre

Thi !i etlui-i was employed at times
bvlSee.-r iry Foster, when the gold
rest v. is declining in 1892, and
result i ; j considerable receipts of
gold uuring the summer and au
tnnwi. The receipts from such
sou re -shave not been 1 rge of late,
but have contributed in some de
gree to strengthen the reserve.
Th-e tofal redemption of legal ten
der notes in gold from May 1 to
June 15 were26,4?7,627, while the
dtclineinthe gold reserve during
the same per.od was only about $21,

fr m various sources to the amount
of ibout s5.!)Q0,0(0 duriug the six
weeks cowr d. It is piobable that
the gains or irold will be much lar-
ihe summer, as the de-
s:nall notes increases.
Oi.e of tl e means of reducing the
pressure upon the gold reserve is the
redemption of Sherman notes in
standard silver dollars. The pro
cess of retiiing these notes when
thus edf-euied was not inaugurated
until IS 0-3. when Secretary Carlisle

I have convinced mvself that the
safety of the world rests upon the
cor: e ;t solution of this great ques
tion. If I had only my own judg
ment to depend upon 1 would be
afraid to stand here and make suchk
a statement to tlb intelligent audi

agreeing with me and advocating
bimetallism as against the gold
standard, the intelligence of the
world. Every political economist
in America with the exception of
very few, are unanimous in advocat
ing bimetallism. There is not a
professor of economy iu any of the
great European institutions of
learning who does not boldly declare
for bimetallism and condemn that
which you hitve put in your plat
form, and which you say to-day you
mean to make the cardinal feature
of the faith of the Republican par
ty. The greatest teacher of New
England, a man who commands
more respect than any teacher in
this country or in Europe, Xhe only
American whose text books have be
come the text books of the Europe
an colleges, has declared that the
question of bimetallism is the most
important question of civilization.
Believing this as I do, I feel that it
is noi a mere question ui me pros
perity of to-day or to-morrow tnat
depends upon it, but that it is the
question of the civilization, a ques
tion of morality, a question of reli

nations.
I ii ive come to this conclusion, af

this? V ould you. net despise me,
and would I not despise myself? If
I am wrong, and, of course, I may
be, the truth will be known some
day. If I am right you are enter

TL- Democratic convention ' of
Onslow county met at Jackson ville
on Wednesday and elected delates
to th'- State conv nion, and trans-
a name, a party that was condemned
and despised.
But, Mr. Chairman, I did not
break with the associations of more
than forty years to do it. I was a
young man full of enthusiasm and
full of hope. My life was before me
now it is behind me. I have been
connected with the Eepublican par
ty since its very beginning. As I
said, it had no name then, and I
he red to e-ive it a name I have
shared in its triumphs, and I have
shared in its few defeats. I took
part in its first c .mpaign, and in
every campaign that it has ever
made, either in the States of the
East or the Rocky Mountains
was the first man in the liocky
Mountains who stood for the Repub
lican doctrine of protection, and
I stood for it in every campaign. I
stand for it still. I . believe in i
now, but I do not believe that you
can hae protection and a gold stan
dard The gold standard means
low wages. That is verified by its
action in every country of the world

and the party of my choice and the
party of mv service and the party

Bm the conviction that it is not
a duty to my people alone, but a
duty which I owe to you and to the
who'e world, compels me to say here
what I will say to the convention,
as mv auswer to the result of your
deiibeia ions From it I will have
to gf away, having performed what
is to me one of the most disagreea
ble and unsatisfactory actions of my
whole life. And yet, Mr. Chair
man, I would despise myself, be
lieving in the supreme importance
of this question, if I failed to make
any sacrifice that I ought to make;
if I failed because of the tanhts that
will come to me when I shall have
deserted the party. But I must do
my duty as my judgment tells lqe to
do it .i
Mr. Chairman, I am going out;
I am going to fight for the principle,
and I have the belief in my heart
tl,at some day this great party, that
has done so much for the humen
race and of whose future so much
was hoped and expected, will come
to a right view upon this question,
and that we shall not take our de
claration from Wall street or from
Lombard street, but from the hou
st sentiment of the great heart of
the American people, aud if you
will consult that heart- and "let
Wall street alone you will abandon
that platform that declares for the
gold standard.
I beg the pardon of this commit

I did not intend to detain you ex

my earnest belief in the principles
ot which I have just spoken.

iican parry. It is no small thing for
a man to break up his political asso
ciations. No man is justified in
doing this except upon great princi
ples. No man would be justified, in
my judgment, to object to the per
sonnel of a candidate, but when you
adopt a principle and ask me to sus
tain it, and to make it one of the
features of a great political organi
zation that I believe to be destruc
tive to the interests of the whole
country, then I must be explicit in
my language.
Mr. President, I have been in this
party since its organization. I
doubt whether to day in this body,
or whether in this convention, there
is a single man who has served more
years in it than I have, and I denv
that there is any man who has serv
ed it with more devotion and more
enthusiasm than I. When the Dem
ocratic party, to which I belonged,
and to which my family had belong
ed, became the party of oppression
and the advocate of a system of
servitude that was dt structive, not
only to the black man, but to the
white man as well, I walked out of
that party and into the new party

A Populist Oppose Co-operation.
Mr. D. C. Downing, of Buckhorn,
writing to the Progressive Farmer,
says:
"Ye are under no obligations to
furnish s'ft places for political
plunderers of any political party.
The Republicans of North Carolina
have endorsed McKinley, a n amraoth
goldbug, for the Presidency, aud
when we, as Populists, co-operate
with North Carolina Republicans
we are indirectly endorsing the gold
bug policy of the Republican party.
Yes, directly endorsing it."
The Bond Investigation a Farce.
NewYorKjJ une 20. The labors of
the Senators who came here to delve
into the bond sale, will probably be
completed today. The examination
has been a failure so far as eliciting
any information from Morgan and
Belmont is concerned. Bankers
suavely told nothing not already
known. William Graves, who was
to produce some witnesses for the
examination this morning, failed to
do so, and instead offered a statement
which the committee rejected.
heard
from. Yesterday's Washington Post
Ravs: Hon. William A. Outhrie, of
Durham, N. C, a recognized Popu
list leader and a lawyer of high
standing, was seen at the Metropoli
tan last evening. It is thought that
he will nominated for- Governor
when his party assembles to name a
State ticket, which will not be until
the meeting of the National Popu
list Convention at St. louis. mr.
Outhrie served in the Confederate
Army, but was a stanch Republican
until two years ago, when he joined
the ranks of the new party that has
become such an important factor in
the politics of the old North State.
In discussing the situation with a
Post man Mr. Guthrie said:
'The Populist and Republican
parties in North Carolina have drift
ed so far apart that fusion is no
longer thought of by either. It
would have been impracticable, any
way, on the Presidential ticket, but
now there will be no combination to
elect State officers, as there was in
1894. There may be a local combi
nation affecting only county officers,
but this will scarcely be general. In
1894 the fusion movement was car
ried to success because two great re
forms were to be obtained by it the
reform of the election laws and the
repeal of a provision of th Consti-
tu.iun which gave the .Legislature
ti e riirht to appoint magistrates,
vh , iu turn, selected County Com
missioners, the most important of all
local officials. Both purposes were
carried out; frauds on the ballot are
a thing of the past, and the right of
the people to choose their own offi
cers will never be taken away
"There is now no longer any such
ground for combining against the
party that had stood for perpetuat
iug these abuses, for the abuses have
bt en corrected, and so there will be
three separate tickets in the field.
The Populist Party in North Caro
lina stai.ds solidly for silver; no
man could be a Populist who was
not in favor of free coinage. I
know that a tremendous majority of
our people are believers in this poli
cy, no matter to what party they be
long, and on this fact I base my
belief that the Populists will carry
the State in November."
What figure will the Populists
cut in the national election?"
"I can't answer that until after
all the national conventions have
been held. If the silver Republi
cans at t. Louis this week bolt and
nominate Senator Teller, and if the
Democrats at Chicago uru wise
enough to come out for silver and
indorse Teller, then it is almost a
certainty that the National Populist
Convention will likewise recommend
hi m as a fit Presidential candidate.
Of course the silver convention,
which meets on the same day and in
the same place, St. Louis, will fol
low suit. If all this happens Mr.
Teller is as certain to go in the
White House on March 4 next as
Grover Cleveland is to make his
exit."
