Factory leaders urged free coinage, arguing it is essential for lasting relief and may spur international action.

Protection and Free Silver Advocates Meet in Philadelphia
Henry A. Frye of Philadelphia urged independent action for free silver and backed protection and bimetallism. Charles Heber Clark of The Manufacturer argued protection must accompany silver restoration. Richard Campion supported silver, doubting that defeating the revenue measure helps bimetallism. Senators viewed the meeting as a warning to Republicans against a single gold standard plank in St Louis. Letters from manufacturers nationwide supported the aims. Senator Cameron’s potential presidential candidacy drew favorable reaction.

The piece also notes St Louis convention preparations and Morton’s presidential endorsement by New York Republicans.
