The United States weather bureau tonight issued the following forecast for the next twenty-four hours: For Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia, fair weather; slightly warmer; winds shifting to southeasterly. North and South Carolina, generally fair: easterly winds. West Virginia, fair weather; slightly support these candidates Bryan cannot get the vote of Alabama. Thomas H. Clark, of of the State committee of sound-mouey democrats and Speaker of the lower branch of the Alabama Legislature, said to The Sun correspondent tonight: "The Result Will Be Surprising." "We will put up a sound-money democratic ticket In Alabama to preserve the democratic organization and to stand for what we conceive to be the true principles of democracy.

We also regard it as our duty as men. who put country above party, that Bryan, representing dangerous opinions, shall be defeated. I was in close touch with the work of organizing our State convention. Out of and distinct tickets. Tbe single-taxers, who have been making an active canvass of the State for more than a year past, will hold their convention in a short time and name candidates to be voted for by their party.

Selections maybe made by the single-taxers from the republican and democratic tickets now in the field. Tbe republicans are divided and have nominated two tlokets. The prohibitionists have also made nominations for State officers. "The total vote in the State Is estimated at thirty-seven thousand, most of this number being in New Castle county, including the city of Wilminjrton. I do not believe any one oan determine with any dearree of accuracy at this time how the vote will be divided.

But it may be stated with reasonable assurance that the prospect for the success of the Bryan and Sowall electors and the democratic candidate for Congress is not flattering, "There are no silver mines in Delaware, and the people there are not especially interested in a scheme which must result ultimately in benefiting chiefly the mine-owners of the West. When tbe issues of tbe campaign ure fully presented and the voters come to understand tbat free coinage means, ns Mr. Bryan has frankly stated, the diminishing of the purchasing power of tbo dollar, there will be no special enthusiasm over his candidacy in Delaware." ENTHUSIASTIC VIRGINIANS. based upon bonded security has been to re strict circulation where it was needed, to accumulate Idle capital In a re centres, to subject the rate of interest to unjust fiuctua. tlons and radical inequalities in different seotions, to restrict enterprise aud cripple in dustry, to make currency scarce lu times of business activity and reduntautly plentiful In times aud places where It was not needed, and at such times to expeil the surplus lu tbe form of gold, tbo money of international exchange.

"The gold standard has not been the causa, but tbe victim of these conditions. The banks also have been the victims of laws not of their- making-, the result of war necessities, and have incurred unmerited hostility bo-cause they have been prevented by thesa laws from rendering the services to agriculture, industry and commerce, which should be their legitimate and natural function under a proper currency system. "We believe that the protection of the public credit against the results of agitation fol tbe debasement of the metallic staudard hag been rendered doubly difficult by tbe defective character of our paper currency. Tbe gold standard has borne the odium ol events for which it is not responsible, and which should be directed against the vicious policy of government paper currency, subject to perpetual reissue. "The sale of bonds for gold on four occasions during tbo past three years has been due to tbe fact that the existing currency system has thrown upon the treasury au obligation which should be imposed by lar upon the banks.

This system of legal-tender paper has brought discredit and suffering to every people- who have resorted to It, and bus been discarded by every civilized State which has souicht to place its currency upon a sound and scientific basis. "We demand, therefore, that the Initial steps be taken for tbo withdrawal from circulation of the legal-tendur notes, or for a change of the existing system ot redemption and reissue. "And we demand, in order that there mar be no improper contraction of the currency and tbat It may be capable of ready adjust-ment to the demands of business, tbat th present banking laws be so modified as to Interpose no obstacle to tbo creation of an elastic banking currency, subject to suju control as shall insure uniformity, security aud redemption in standard cola on i'5 Cts.

A SPLENDID BODY OF MEN. Assembled to Select Candidates of the Sound-Money Democracy. the Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, Will He the Permanent Chairman A Big Mass-Meeting to Be Held Tonight-Talks with the Maryland Delegates Enthusiasm for the Soand-Honey Cause In the South Text of a Financial Plank Proposed for the Platform. From a Staff Correspondent. Tndianapolis, Sept.

Tbe outlook now is for a magnificent convention tomorrow, both in numbers and personnel. The delegates are men of standing, representing1 tbe professions, tbe business element and the thrifty workingmen of forty States. The lobbies of the Dennison and Bates Hotels have been crowded all the afternoon and evening with the champions of true democracy, and the discussion has been earnest and interesting. The Western and Northwestern States have stronur delegations, and to bear them talk is to realize that Mr. Bryan has been sadly deluded, and that many of the so-called strongholds of tbe silver sentiment will vote for sound money and McKinley in the November election.

Conservatism in the West. Although the nominee of the Chicago convention is regarded as an extremist by the conservative East, the conservative West is no less vigorous in its denunciation of the principles for which he istands. The sentiments uttered by the representatives of Jeffersonian democracy in Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio prove conclusively tbe existence of a formidable opposition to the revolutionary theories of the free-silver leader, and this opposition will become overwhelming. It is claimed, when it is organized and directed under the inspiration of tomorrow's national convention. Men Who Love Democracy.

There is a patriotic desire on the part of every delegate from the West and South to save the democratic party from tbe evil influences by which it is now controlled. To hear the delegates discuss this phase of the situation is pathetic, indeed. The party is still dear to them, despite tbe attitude into Which it has been forced by the demagogues who betrayed it at Chicago, and they regard the convention tomorrow as in the nature of rescue work. They are, as they say, launching a lifeboat, by which all that oan be saved from the inevitable wreck next November will be landed iu the harbor of true democracy. To Reorganize the Party.

There is as much sorrow as anger over -the Chicago betrayal, but the delegates believe that when the party has been chastened by defeat it can be reorganized for a glorious career in tbe future. It should be understood, therefore, that the desire and object of this convention Is not so much to bring about the election of McKinley, although that may be the result, as to perpetuate srenulne democracy after Bryanism has been repudiated by the people. Co-Operation of the States, There is not a Western State represented here that does not want a third ticket. Tbe spokesmen look upon it as essential to party preservation, and because they are not willing for democracy to perish from the earth they will crowd the convention hall tomorrow and nominate candidates who are worthy to receive the suffrages or every self-respecting democrat. The East enters fully into this sentiment and is Inclined to allow tbe West and South to make the nominations, rightly regarding the Middle, Western and a few Southern States as the battle-ground on which Bryan's fate is to be dectded.

Uragg, Vilas, liuckner. Who will be the nominee? Tbe indications all point to General Bragg, of Wisconsin, or Senator Vilas, of the same State. Both gentlemen are In the city, but it is said tbat Mr. Vilas does not intend that bis name shall be used against General Bragg, and that he is really using bis lufluenoe in behalf of tbe latter. It is hinted that Senator Vilas would be the stronger candidate, as General Bragg has enemies in his own State who would work against bim.

At present, however, and in advance of the caucusing the favorite combination appears to be Bragg and Buckner Wisconsin and Kentucky, Union veterans and ex-Confederate soldiers. The names fit well together and they are heard whenever delegates discuss the situation. Sectionalism Not a Factor. This combination would mark tbe passing of sectionalism as an issue in American politics, and, in fact, sectionalism is nowhere apparent in the crowds whioh have gathered at Indianapolis. The feeling is distinctly national, and North and South.

East and West, seem to be more closely knit together, in the presence of a common peril, than at any other time since tbe war. Tbe delegates from Louisianna and tbe (representatives of Maine, Michigan and Minnesota are as one in their eager and patriotic desire to avert national disgrace and disaster, and they will fight shoulder to shoulder with the greatest enthusiasm. Gossip as to the Platform. The platform to be adopted by the convention may contain some surprises. It is rumored that some of tbe ablest men in the party will have a band in its construction.

It would not be astonishing if It should contain a plank approving an income tax, for It is known that this subject has been disoussed with 6ome vigor by the leaders, and while no decision has been made at this writing a declaration in favor of the income tax is far from being an Impossibility. A Suggestion from Maryland. It is also said that there is a demand from many Southern and Western delegates for a financial plank that will be something more than a declaration for the gold standard. The Maryland delegates are Included among this number. Mr.

F. W. Schultz, of Baltimore, proposes the following as a declaration on tbe money question: "We favor the issuance of coin and certificates representing coin as tbe sole money of the United States, and believe the Issue of promises to pay by a solvent government to be au uncalled-for act detrimental to the industrial welfare ot the people. We favor a banking system whereby all parts of the country will be able to partake of its benefits, and with such a system we demand that the currency thereby circulated shall be pro tected to the last penuy by the best approved security." DELEGATES FROM THE SOUTH. They Are Full of Enthusiasm for an Aggressive Campaign Against Bryan.

I From a Staff Indianapolis, Ind Sept. Tbe repub licans are said to expect the electoral votes of four Southern States, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Kentucky. By some Texas is included in this list. The conditions are such that the immense democratlo majority in Texas might, in view of the great strength developed by the populists, bo converted into a minority. As to Alabama, it is regarded as one of the tbe States in which the strong sound-money sentiment promises tbe most astounding results.

Candidates for Congress will be nominated by the anti-Bryan democrats in every district, as well as an electoral ticket, and it has been suggested that if tbe republicans preferred against him by his valet was dis. missed.

White River Junction, Sept. 1. The Green Mountain State declared for Josiah Grout, republican, for Governor today and the entire' republican State ticket by a majority that equalled the prediction of the most confident republican managers. Returns from tbe distant towns are, as usual, slow iu coming in, but the count in all sections of the State sbows substantial republican gains and indicates that tbe majority for tbe State ticket will be about 30.000. This is the largest majority ever given for a Governor in this State, tbe nearest approach to it being In 1888.

when the majority was 27,618. Tbe republican leaders tonight claim tbat tbe majority may reach 35,000 and even 37,000. H. Henry Powers, the republican congressional candidate in the first district, and William M. Grout, in tbe second, are both re-elected by increased majorities.

The State Senate and House are in the control of tbe republicans by practically the same majority as two years ago. The weather generally was cool and fair throughout the State and brought out hundreds of republican voters who had not been to the polls for years. Practically the full republican vote was cast. On the other hand, the lack of organization in tbe democratic ranks was apparent. Many democrats who do not indorse tbe platform of tbe Chicago convention remained away from tbe polls while the more dissatisfied ones voted for the republican ticket.

The populist and prohibition vote was practically the same as four years ago. The ticket elected is a3 follows: Governor Josiah Grout, of Derby. Lieutenunt-Governor Nelson W. Fisk, of Isle LaMotte. State Treasurer Henry F.

Field, of Rutland. Secretary of State Chauncey W. Brownell, of Burlington. State Auditor Franklin D. Hale, of Lunenburg.

On account of the size of bis audience, Mr. Bryan adopted a novel method of speaking, talking to seotions of the crowd alternately from each of 'the four sides of the platform, and even then not more than a tenth of the people could hear him. He was Introduced by Allen G. Thurman, son of the "Old Roman," who has been fighting for free silver in Ohio for several years. After Mr.

Bryan's speech the democratic nominee for Congress in the Columbus district, Hon. John J. Lentz, addressed tbe remainder of the crowd. JUcKINLEI TO EDITORS. West Virginians Visit Him at Canton and He Makes a Speech to Them.

Cowen tbat is unnecessary. He say-. "The highest estimate that has been made brings the silver dollar to 70 cents, which was its bullion value at the time of the repeal of the Sherman bill." Mr. Rayner ought to know that when we open our mints to free coinage tbe relation of gold to silver will not be like it was when we were buying silver with treasury notes redeemable in troid. It will be like it was when we had free coinage.

The AO. 53, 70-cent dollars are the bugaboos of the gold bugs. His table of wages would explain its worth-lessness if gold-standard Italy, Spain, Turkey, Egypt and Havti were included. Does Mr. Rayner think the omission (which carries a whole column of his argument) is overlooked by workingmen? Wm.

J. Ogden. THE STJN. COAL FROM CHINA. It Is Proposed to Compete with the Mines or This Country and Wales.

San Francisco. Sept, China has thrown tbe gauntlet to tbe coal miners of the United States. The American bark Colorado, which has Just arrived in port, brought a mixed sample cargo of anthracite and manufactured coal, mined and made in the Tonquln district. It was consigned to a coal-dealing firm of this city which promises to push tbe Chinese fuel on the coast market at prices greatly below those which Pennsylvania and Welsh coals of the same character are now bringing. Examining experts have pronounced the Ton-quin coal beds almost inexhaustible.

Tonquin, since the Tonquin war, has been under the control of the French, and it is French capital that is now developing the mines, but tbe land Is populated by Chinese, as before, and cheap Chinese labor is employed in the mines. Tbe coal from the Orient it said to be of the finest quality fully equal to the best Pennsylvanian or Welsh coal. Compulsory Education In Pennsylvania. fS Dedal Dispatch to tbe Baltimore Sun.l York.

R. P.Browse and J. W. Bates. Tbe West Virginia delegation has informally disoussed the question of nominations, and while no determination has been reached it is thoucrht the members are favorable to General Bragg, of Wisconsin, with General Buckner, of Kentucky, for second place.

Their idea is tbat tbe nominee should be a friend of the administration, in tbe sense of standing by Mr. Cleveland. As regards the financial plank they favor a declaration for a safe and elastic system of banking. They do noitbink the platform should be limited to a declaration for the gold standard alone. The silver men in West Virginia are reported to be less confident and aggressive than two weeks ago, and it is believed that an independent sound-money movement will draw enough votes from tbe silver ticket to insure tbe State to McKinley.

A number of democrats would vote for the republican candidates if there were no third ticket, but a sound-money movement is preferred, as affording the rallying point for the democracy after the November election. The delegation is confident that Bryau cannot carry West Virginia. CHATS WITH MARYLANDERS. Impressions Made Upon Them by the Splendid Gathering that Is Assembling. From a Staff Correspondent.

Indianapolis, Sep. 1. The Maryland delegates are jubilant over the prospect for a great convention, and most of them appear to be enthusiastically in favor of a third ticket in Maryland. This will not be decided, however, until their return home, when they will hold a conference and make such recommendations as tbey think best adopted to promote a sound-money victory. Tbe following interviews will show how they have been impressed by the display of sound-money strength at Indianapolis.

4 O. A. Kirkland "It is a great leathering of earnest men, and if tbe views of delegates from a number of the Western States are of any value free silver will be only a passing Incident in the politics of this nation." Alex. Armstrong "The convention will have its complement of delegates and will be full of enthusiasm. The personnel will be composed of resolute and conscientious men and life-long democrats.

The evolution of the convention will be a sound-money democratic electoral ticket in every State. It looks tonight as if the ticket will be Bragg and Buckner. I favor Vilas or. Palmer for first place." Daniel Miller "I am impressed with the fine appearance of the delegates, their harmony, intense patriotism and the determination to save the principles of true democracy for no selfish ends, but tbat the nation may live. And I would not be surprised If tbe national democratic party develops a voting strength which will poll In some States more votes than does the so-called democratic but populist ticket." Ex-Judge J.

A. C. Bond, of Carroll county, said that to any one attending this convention the fact was apparent tbat tbe movement is a formidable one. He expressed himself as decidedly in favor ot putting an electoral ticket in the field in Maryland. He is satis fied that the sound-money sentiment of the country will continue to grow.

If the dem ocratic party is to have any future, he says, it must look to this convention and to the principles here deolared. W. CabeU Br uce "I am much pleased with what I have seen since my arrival here. The full delegations from the various States, tbe personnel of tbe delegates, the enthusiasm and determination manifest upon every side indicate a democratic revolt so profound and wide-spread that it is hard to believe Messrs. Bryan and Sewall can possibly be elected, provided the republicans hold on to their own vote.

I am glad to say tbat among the very best delegations here In point of intelligence and character are those from tbe far Southern States. It is my sinoere conviction tbat this convention will not only do much to defeat the election of Bryan and Sewall, but to promote an early reorganization of tbe democratic party upon a basis in keeping with its true character." Tbe delegation held a conference tonight and decided to vote as a unit upon the nomi nation of candidates for the presidency. No preference was indicated, and Palmer, Vilas and Bragg each have friends among the dele gates. For second place General Buckner is apparently tbe unanimous choice of the Mary landers. A committee was appointed to consider resolutions on tbe financial plank and will meet tomorrow morning.

DELAWARE AN ORGANIZE. Charles B. Stockier Elected Chairman A Talk with National Committeeman Kossell. TFrom a Staff Indianapolis, Sept. Tbe Delaware delegation organized as follows: Chairman Charles B.

Stockley. Vice-Chairman J. Parke Postles. 'Member of Committee on Rules and Permanent Organization W. M.

Ross. Member of Committee on Resolutions Levi A. Bertolette. Member-of National Committee John S. Rossell.

No action was taken as to tbe presidential nomination, the delegation being of the opinion tbat tbe East should defer to the wishes of the South and West. National Committeeman Rossell said, in discussing the outlook in Delaware: "There is unquestionably a strong sentiment in tbe democratic party of our State in favor of sound money. The State convention to name delegates to the Chicago convention declared unequivocally in favor of the maintenance of the present monetary standard, and although the State convention which met su'j- seaucntly indorsed the nomination of Bryau and Sewall, it did not declare In favor of the free coinage of silver nor indorse in a general way the Chicago platform. "The Democratic Honest-Money League. recently organized, is extending its work throughout the State, and before the election it will have ascertained the number of voters who prefer to cast their ballots for tbe ticket to be nominated at Indianapolis.

A seperate electoral ticket will be chosen and quite likely a sound-money democrat will be named for Congress, the candidate chosen by the regular convention being unfortunately an outspoken advocate of silver. The official ballot may contain six separate They Are for Palmer for the Presidency and Buckner for the Vice-Presidency, From a Staff Correspondent. Indianapolis, Sept. 1. Twenty-one of tbe Virginia delegates are in the city, and tonight they organized with Mr.

S. V. South-all, or Charlottesville, as chairman. The committee assignments were postponed until tomorrow. Mr.

Joseph Bryan, of Richmond, a delegate at large, is enthusiastic over the situation. The attendance of the convention is greater thau he expected, while tbe increase of sound-money adherents, he declares, "is advancing In geometrical progression, doubling and trebling right along." It is stated by Mr. Bryan that the Virginia delegation is strongly in favor of Senator Palmer, of Illinois, for first place, with General Buckner. of Kentucky, for seoond place. This, he thinks, would be tbe strongest combination that could be formed for Southern and Western support.

A sound-money candidate for Congress will be nominated in tbe Richmond district and may receive the support of the republicans. Hon. George D. Wise is the choice of tbe honest-money men for this nomination. The Virginia delegation Is in favor of the gold standard aud a system of currency resembling that outlined in the "Baltimore plan." Tbe income tax has also some adherents.

Delegate Bryan says a third ticket will poll from fifteen to thirty thousand votes in Virginia and tbat he never saw men more confident of defeating the tree-silver heresy than the patriots assembled at Indianapolis. CAFFERY WILL PRESIDE. Selected as the Permanent Chairman-Nominations Expected to Be Made Thursday. By Associated Indianapolis, Sept. 1.

Senator John M. Palmer, of Illinois, chairman of the provisional committee appointed at Chicago five weeks ago, will call the convention to order at noon Wednesday in Tomlin3on Hall. All the indications are that tbe gathering will exceed expectations both in point of numbers and States represented. From tbe lists in the hands of Secretary Wilson it Is certain that over 800 delegates will be present, representing 41 or 42 States and Territories. Tbe convention will complete permanent organization Wednesday and then adjourn until Thursday.

A big mass-meeting has been arranged for Wednesday night, at which Colonel Breckinridge, of Kentucky, Colonel Fellows, of New York, Mr. Ehriob, of Colorado, and others will speak. Tbe sessions of the convention will bo opened with prayer by Right Rev. John White, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Indiana. Ex-Governor Flower, who has been selected as temporary ohalr-man.

will deliver the opening speeoh. After the announcement of the committee selections, there may be a recess to give the committee on credeutials and permanent organization time to meet and report. There is only one contest from Connecticut where there are opposing delegations. But tbe settlement of this case, it Is said, will be easily reached. Senator Caffrey, of Louisiana, has been decided on tor permanent chairman.

After he has been installed the convention will adjourn until Thursday, when the platform will be adopted and the candidates namod. A sine die adjournment is expected Thursday eveuinir. TALK AS TO CANDIDATES. Behind It All Is a Strong Sentiment for Cleveland which May Sweep the Convention. By Associated Press.

Indianapolis, Sept.l. The Wisconsin delegation held a meeting, over which General Bragg presided, and unanimously passed a motion instructing Burr W. Jones, of that State, to present General Bragg's name when the roll of States is called for tbe nomination of candidates. The suggestion of Henry Watterson for President, which seemed to be In high favor yesterday, has gained no ground today. The Kentucky delegation is pledged to Buckner for Vice-President, and the sentiment seems to be drifting back to tbe original ticket suggested at Chicago Bragg and Buckner.

The Florida delegation today shook hands across tbe continent with far-off Washington State which last night launched the Cleveland boom, but the President's friends in tbe Intervening States set their faces strongly against all suoh suggestions. Otber names put forward are those of Secretary Carlisle. Secretary Morton. Gen. John C.

Black, of Illinois, Senator Vilas, Senator Palmer and ex-Congressman Outhwaite. There is still some talk of Senator Gray, of Delaware, despite his firm refusal. General Traoey. of New York, Controller Eckels and others cling to the suggestion of Vllas.but tbe Wisconsin Senator insists that bis State is for Bragg and that he does not desire tbe honor. The Illinois delegates say the nomination ot General Black would Interfere with their local canvasses, as they have nominated htm for Governor.

David Lawler, of Minnesota, is for Secretary Carlisle. The name of Mr. Carlisle Is received with favor, but there is an undercurrent of opinion tbat tbe nomination of any one connected with the administration would be unwise. Controller Eckels is doing all he can to keep down the Cleveland sentiment, which, it is believed, may develop and sweep tbo convention. Secretary Morton has addressed letters to members of tbe Nebraska delegation stating that his name must not be presented to the convention, and tbat he could not accept if nominated.

A FINANCIAL PLANK. Text of the One which nan Received the Indorsement of the Treasury Department. LBy Associated Press.l Indianapolis, Sept. 1. The Massachusetts delegation held a meeting today at whloh a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested.

Henry E. Lamb, a member of the committee on resolutions, was Instructed to ask for tbe incorporation of a plank in the platform indorsing international arbitration. A ourrency plank, offered by Charles A. Conant, was adopted and Mr. Lamb was authorized to present it to the committee.

This plank is one which has received the Indorsement of the Treasury Department. It contains suggestions by Secretary Carlisle, and is largely on the line which he has advocated before the finance committees in Congress, Tbe plank Is as follows: "We recognize the fact that tbe existing currency system of the United States, created in a period of national stress, is not based upon sound and scientific principles and rea ires serious revision to adapt it to the needs of commerce and production.

Indianapolis, Sept. There was a pleasant incident in one ot tbe parlors of the Dennison House tonight. It was tbe meeting of General Bragg, of Wisconsin, and General Buckner, of Kentucky, whose names are being coupled everywhere as the probub: nomlneessof this convention. The two grizzled old veterans, one of whom wore the blue, the other wore the gray, and both of whom saw distinguished service la their respective armies, had never met before. General Buckaer arrived In tha afternoon and some of General Bragg's friends took him up to the tatter's headquarters.

A crowd had collected to wlliiess the meeting. Tbe generals clasped bunds cordially when presented. General Buckucr remarked pleasantly that there might have been a time when bo would not have been anxtoul to meet General Bragg at such close quarters. Tbo latter's eyes twinkled as he replied felicitously that be was thankful tbe days of their hostility had departed forever. "But now," ho added, "in a crisis almost as grave as that of thirty years ago, I am glad we can march shoulder to ehoukler in tbe battle for the preservation of the nation's honor from the silver hosts." The crowd upplauded and followed tbo applause with a cheer, when an enthuslastla Texas dolegate mounted a chair aud shoutorii "The kind of silver we want is tbat which shines on the heads of those two noblemen.

General Bragg and General Buckner re tired arm in arm to a room und had au Uour'tf chat. "A CURIOUS ALLIANCE." Mr. John P. Irish on the Situation la tne States of the Pacific Coast. By Associated Press.

Indianapolis, Sept.l. John P.Irish, of Cah ltornia, who has been one of tbe most active leaders In tbe democratic sound-money movement on tbe Pacific coast, arrived today. Mr. Irish says the people of tbe East are not aware of the conditions existing on the const; that three States California, Oregon and Washington cannot be carried for Bryau and that there is a possibility that Nevada will be carried against him. "In California." said Mr.

Inish, "there are enrolled SS.OOOdemocratswho will not vote for Bryau. The populists concede that there are 12,000. "There Is a curious alliance on the coast.

They want the price of their gold enhanced, and would like to pay their workingmen in silver.
