An Awful Death in a Seattle
Elevator.
THE NEW BIMETALLIC LEAGUE.
Art Unalterably Against a Sing-la
Gtld Standard and Issuance of
Bonds In Time of Peace.
Associated Press.
Seattle, (March. 6. As M. N. Nelson,
postmaster at Seabold, Kitsap county,
Shortly after 6 o'clock tonight was
seated In the elevator of the Pioneer
'building tad king' to Lewis Thompson,
the elevator man, at the door of the
fourth floor, Tfoohnpeon stepped out to
light the gas in the hail. The elevator
started to drop, and 'Nelson seized tht,
lever anU attempted to stop It Th
elevator Shot upward and Nelson be
coming excited, tried' to Jump out. He
was caught between tho floor of the
elevator and the top of the door, and
this neck broken. (A young girl, a friend
of Nelson, 'Who was in the elevator at
the time, waa toW by the elevator man
to grasp the lever and slowly lower
the elevator. iShe, too, lost her head
and let .the elewUor drop with great
rapidity. Neteoji'a body, whloh was
banging; half .out of the elevator,
dropped outside and the door on tht
fourth floor being open, it pitched
headlong down the shaft. The body
waa horribly mangled.
FOR DOUBLE STANDARD.
The New Bimetallic League Announces
Its Purposes.
Washington, iMarOh 5. 'The following
was today Issued by the American Bi
metallic League, a statement of the
issues on whloh itthe new fjarty will or
ganize) The money question Is now indisputa
bly the dominant Issue in the United
States and wtll remain so until settled
rlgihtly. Other. TjuesUons, however lm.
pjrtant, must valt for this, which to
a greater or less extent Involves all
others. The issue Is between a gold
standard; gold bonds and bank cur
rency on one side, and a bl-metalllo
standard, no bonds and government
currency on the other.
First On this Issue we declare our
selves to be unalterably opposed to a
single gold standard, and demand Im
mediate return to. the constitutional
standard of gold and silver, of the res
toration by this government, Inde
pendent of any foreign power, of the
unrestricted coinage of both sliver and
gold Into standard money at a ratio of
16 to 1, and upon terms of exact equal
ity, stiver coin to be fultt legal tender
equal with sjold In payment of all
debts and dues, qublio and private.
Second (We hold the power to con
trol and regulate paper currency in
separable from the power to coin mon
ey, and hence that all currency intend
ed to circulate as money Should be
Issued and Its volume controlled by
the general government only and
Should be legal tender.
Third (We are unalterably opposed
to the issue by the United States of
Interest bearing bonds in time of peace,
and demand the payment of all coin
obligations of the United States as
provided by existing laws In either gold
or silver at the option of the govern
ment and not at the option of the cred
itor. On .Oils Issue we appeal from the
dictation of power to ithe Intelligence
and patriotism of the American pub
lic. The address to the people of the
United States says:
This great cause will never be won
without unanimous action. It will nev
ler be won unless those who believe In
It come together and elect a congress
and president on this Issue. There is
no hope whatever that the Republican
party as a party will change its poli
cy, give up the goid standard, and re
store the IbimetaJMc standard. No less
persistent and effective is the control
of the money power over the organiza
tion of the Democratic party. While
undoubtedly a large majority of its
members are opposed to the gold stand
ard, .they have been powerless to con
trol that party organization against it
and much less to secure through it the
restoration of a bimetallic standard.
While this Is the case it cannot be
expected that Che Republicans will
abandon the convictions of a lifetime
on the other questions and go into the
Democratic party in a body or to the
wing of that party. Nor will the Dem
ocrats give up the convictions they be
lieve to be essential in government and
go over to the Republican party or
a division of that party. Nor is It
possible to induce the Republicans and
Democrats together to go into the Pop
uHst party for the reason. If no other,
that the platform of that party con
tains declarations and the party advo
cates theories to which they cannot
give assent, Therefore, no course seems
more possible than that to subordinate
for the time being, other questions,
and come to the front in a new organ
MARCH 6. 1895.
ization to fight the battle of 1896 on
the one Issue on whloh the prosperity
and happiness of the people bo largely
depend.
While not unmindful of .the interest
of the people of other countries In this
question, it is not an issue that fan
'be safely submitted to the decision of
foreign governments or be made to Cs
penld on what other countries may do.
It Is Ibeflieved the United Btates has
power enough In the commercial world
to restore the link between gold and
silver, broken In 1873, but should gold
for any reason temporarily go to a
premium it will none the less operate
on prices generally, and certainly a
premium on gold here would cause a
like fall in the price of silver to sil
ver countries, and Inure on every plde
to the advantage of the United States.
We especially urge upon you the im
portance of immpdlaite .organisation
In townships and counties throughout
the entire country for the purpose of
carrying on this great movement for
the common good of an.
The address Is Blgned by the follow
ing executive committee, appointed by
the bimetallic conference called at
Washington February 22dt 1895:
J. A. Warner, president of the Amer
can Bimetallic League, Chairman; J.
P. Jones, U. S. senate; William M. Stew
art, U. S. seante; J. L. McLaurln, of
South Carolina; Anson Wolcott, of In
diana; George Q. Merry, of Colorado;
Henry Jones, of Georgia; G. A. Green,
of California; Jos. Sheldon, of Connec
ticut; C. J. HUlyer, of the District of
Columbia; Byron B. Shear, of Color
ado; Mortimer Whitehead, of New
Jersey.-
If the conference had authority from
the people to name candidates for pres
ident, It would name Joseph C. Sibley,
of Pennsylvania, but not having such
authority it can only suggest the name
and invite expressions from the people
by petition, resolutions or otherwise,
the committee was appointed to se
lect a provisional national committee
to consist of one member from each
state and territory and the district of
Columbia, to take charge of the move
ment. . .
