Each Congressional District Jsked to Bend
Two Delegates
TO THE COXTEXTION IX WASHINGTON
"VTasiiixgtox, April 23. The national
Silver Committee to-day issued the follow
ing call:
The Xational Silver Committee, appointed
by the First Xatioaal Silver Convention held
at St. Louis, Xovember. 1SS3, believing
that the exisency has arisen which
calls for earnest deliberation and
united action on the part of the friends
of bi-metallism throughout the United
States hereby calls a convention to be
known as the second National Silver Con
vention, to be held at Washington, D. C,
May 16 and 27, 1892, one of the objects Dein?
to organize a national bi-metallie associa
tion or league for the better promotion of
the cause ot free bi-metallic coining in the
United fctates.
This action is impelled by the manifest de
termination on the part of the sold combina
tion to surpress the silver passage for at
least another decade, and, it possible, by
transmitting existing debts into gold obllza
tions. and otherwise to fasten foiever the
single gold standard upon the people of the
United States, and thus to perpetuate the
subtle svstem of robbery that has been car
ried on for the past 20 years by means of a
money standard that is constantly increas
ing in value.
Increase of the Money Standard.
His understanding must be defective who
does not know that the demonetization of
silver increased the money standard of the
United States and of the world, and his con
science must be seared who would attempt
to Justify it. But this increase
still goes on, and will go on, as
gold grows scarce and dear, until the bi
metallic standard, established 100 vears ago
bv Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson, is
restored, and gold relieved of the strain ot
being the only money of final redemption
for other forms of money and of credit.
As the money standard is raised prices fall
and debts are increased. The one is coun
terpart of the other, and the w hole is the
work of the legislation. The wit of man
would not devise a. scheme better calculated
to enrich one class at the expense
ot another than by the device or an
increasing money standard, and under
the oDcration ot thl device, since 1873, hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually of the
wealth created by one class have been
'stealthily appropiiated by another.
For 20 vears this has been going on, and
vet a Congress pledged to the people to rem
rdv the vrong hesitates and pauses as if
hvpnotized by the wand of gold.
The people want no '70-cent dotlars,"
neither w ill they forever tolerate, under the
hypocritical pretense of "honest money,"
r "dollar that has grown to be a hnndred-and-fifty-cent-dollar,
and is still growing at an
augmented rate.
There may be those who are tired of the
silver question, but the consequences of gold
monometallismaretoo threatening to permit
the cause of silver to be smothered, and to
abandon it is togive over to nltimate slavery
the toilers ot the land.
A Qaestion That Will Isot Down.
Xo, the silver question will not down. It
is an issue parumonnt to all others. Al
though it is necessarily a political question,
in the sense that the remedy must be by
political action, the question of free bi
metallic coinage is not a partisan question,
and the convention is not called for any
particular nurpoe, out to urge on an parties
the justice and the necessity of action on a
question so vital to tbo public welfare.
The gold tnonometallistsare united, active
nnd watchful, as recent events have shown.
They have unlimited means at their com
mand; they control the metropolitan press;
tbev intimidate political leaders, dominate
conventions, and dictate platforms and can
didates. But the people will not be en
slaved, nor will they submit forever to the
jobbery of an Increasing gold standard.
The Silver Committee, in this crisis, calls
upon the people everywhere to come for
ward and send delegates to this convention.
The call is extended to all who earnestly
favor the immediate restoration of tree bi
metallio coinage in the United States, and
each Congressional district is requested to
send two delegates, and each State and Ter
ritory to send two additional delegates at
large.
An Invitation Alott Sweeping.
Farmers' Alliance organizations. State
Granges, Patrons of Husbandry, Knights of
Labor, and all other industrial organizations
favorable to the tree coinage of silver are
also invited to send one delegate for each
local organization.
A cordial Invitation is also extended to all
citizens who, by pen or otherwise, have been
advocates of bimetallism. Members of Con
gress and of the Legislatures of the several
States, who favor the lestoration of the bi
metallic standard and the coinage of silver
on the same terms as gold, are especially
invited to attend and particiDate in the
proceedings of the convention.
By order of the National Silver Com-
mittee. A. J. Wakner, Chairman.
Lee Crasimli, Secretary.

Gextlemex My wife.was taken with a se
vere attack of Rheumatism about March 25,
1892, and the doctor in attendance said it was
caused by prostration as a dras of the La
Grippe which she had about the Christmas
Holidays.
On March 30, not being satisfied with the
way the medicine she was takinz from the
doctor was acting, she seeming to grow
worse and not being able to walk without
great pain, I asked Mr. Alex. Martin, Secre
tary of the Allegheny Salt Companyat Etna,
Pa., to procure lor me a bottle of Kheuma
cura (he being acquainted with your Mr.
Chessman). I gave her the first dose at 6 p.
v. March 0, the second dose nt midnight.the
third dose at 6 A. M. March 31, and when I
went home at 0 r. v. the same day. Just 24
hours from the time she began to use Klioa-
maenra, she was walking about the room
and said she had not the slightest pain.
You aro at liberty to uso this letter when
and where you see fit. and have the thanks
of myself and wife besides. I am respect
fully yours, ROBERT E. RENO.

If we excel in ready
made clothing we do even
more so in the garments
we make to order in our
Custom Department. As
we have frequently stated,
we do not pretend to. com
pete with the Cheap John
tailors and dingy little
tailoring shops, whose
bungling work cannot even
compare with our ordinary
ready-made goods. We
produce FIRST-CLASS
GARMENTS ONLY.
Our stock of Imported
Woolens is the finest and
largest shown in Pittsburg;
-we use none but the best
trimmings and employ
only expert cutters and
tailors. In spite of these
facts we make suits or
trousers to measure for
about 25 per cent less
than other first-class tail
ors. We don't, as you
see, depend on merchant
tailoring alone it is but
one of the many depart
ments which go to make
up our business then, we
buy our cloths in large
quantities, direct from the
European weavers, and in
so doing we get them at
least 15 per cent less than
the other tailors who buy
them in small quantities
for the New York im
porters.
Gentlemen, if you want
first-class clothing at reas
onable prices, leave your
measure here. Give us a
trial at any rate. We
know it will make a per
manent customer of you.

BUSINESS SUITS.
For business and knock-about the Sack still retains its old-time popularity. The
present season, however, varies the monotony by having been productive of many
novel styles and materials. In our seemingly inexhaustible assortment von will find
anything yonr taste may suggest or purse require.
Single-Breasted Sack Suits,
Straight Cut Sack Suits,
Double-Breasted Sack Suits,
Cutaway Sack Suits.
These four styles we show in Cassimeres, Cheviots, Worsteds, Homespuns, Twills,
Bannockburns, ThiBets, Serges, Flannels, eta The following solid colors and shades,
all of which and more are displayed by us, will be extensively worn this spring: Light
and dark tan.brown, bark, wood, snufl, light and dark grey," navy blue, black, etc.
Scotch Mixtures, 'in Oxford, light and dark brown and steel crey, are also classed
among fashionable spring woolens. Then come the ever-popular "small and large
broken, interwoven, subdued and distinct plaids and checks, nairow stripes and silk
mixtures.
No other house in this city can even begin to equal our stock, and, if we beat
other dealers in assortment, we beat them still worse in that important particular
THE PEICE. "While we absolutely guarantee a sure saving of 25 per cent on any
suit you may buy, patrons frequently save as much as 33 and even 50 per cent.
Xow, then, it you would combine style, elegance and economy, buy your new
Spring Suit from us.
H-A-H.
We sell more Hats than
any three local dealers
combined. Why ? Sim
ply because we invariably
.show the latest correct

hatter,, and name prices
which cannot be met any

we will offer to-morrow,

100 dozen Men's Fine

Of same quality as those
for, which other dealers ask

of the impossibility of

Each year our Shoe De
partment, (especially our
Men's Shoe Department)
shows up with increased

about these satisfactory re

(imitation leather) shoes,,
but sell only the solid,
honest leather article.
Second We constantly
carry all different widths
and sizes of each kind of
shoe we handle, and are
thus able to always fit you
correctly.
Third We keep the only
complete stock of footwear
in the city, embracing
everything worth having.
Fourth Buying and
