VITAL QUESTIONS.

Oreftt Gathering at Kansas City for tfhetr DlaouBsion.

THE COMMERCIAL CONGRESS OPENED.

Delegates Present from Twenty -'Four Stat.s and Territories—GOT. Francis, of Mlaiourl, Presides—Letter from

President Harrison.

NEEDS OF THE WEST.

KANSAB CITV, MO.. April 18.—The first western states commercial congre6» convened at noon Tuesday at th® Ooates opera house, with delegations prospnt from th» following tw«nty-f6ur western and southern qtates and territories California, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Nsw Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota. Wisconsin, Mlohigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentuoky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Texas and Oklahoma. The delegations are composed mainly of business men appolmted by the governors of the various states and are representative of the western and southern people.

Just before the convention was oalled to order the mall was distributed to various delegates. When the name of John C. Wlokllfle of New Orleans was called, his natne was recognised as that of one of the leaders 6f the oltlzens of New Orleans, who executed the eleven Italians oharged with Chief Hennessey's death. When he stepped to the stage his appearance was greeted with applause. Without recognizing it he resumed his seat quickly.

The convention was called to ordei by State Senator Kelly of Kansas. He introduced Eev. Dr. Bayes, of this city, who offered a prayer. The convention then proceeded to temporary organization. On motion of Gov. Francis, of Missouri, Senator Kelly was ohosen temporary chairman. In along speech of aoceptanc* he explained the object of the congress to b* the consideration of various questions ol Jeoullar interest to the west and south.

The chairman then presented Gov. Francis, of Missouri, who welcomed the delegates on behalf of the state. He said that the oongress marked anew era in agricultural, commercial and financial history. In the early history of the country such dissension and dissatisfaction as now exists resulted In revolution. The people of the west were now crying for relief but the manner of relief was sought, not by arms, but by this deliberative congress. Different causes were assigned for the depression of western interests. Let the cause be what It may, the effect was tho same. There was deep-rooted dissatisfaction and there was unanimous desire that the evil of depression be ubolislied, and that western interests be stimulated. Heretofore federal legislation has been in the interests of the east. Congress has been favorable to the creditor class and the west was a heavy debtor, It was necessary now for the west to stand together, and there were many things that the west desired the advooacy of whioh should be unanimous, earnest and continued. The west wanted free trade with Mexico to Canada, and South Amerloa, and all the oountries of tho world. The west wanted the Mississippi connected with the great lakes. It wanted improved waterways. It wanted an international railway, so that one could step on a vestibule train at Kansas City and step off it at Buenos Ayres. It wanted a fuller volume of currency. These were things that would relieve the distressing condition of affairs, and these were things on which the west must act together.

L. D. Wight Thatcher welcomed the dolegatcs in behalf of the state of Kansas. An adjournment was then taken until 8 o'clock p. m.

Upon reassembling letters of regret were read from those who had been given special invitations to attend the congress. Among the number was a letter from President Harrison. It was as follows: '•EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON. April 7. To Hon. H. H. Kelly, chairman, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Sir: I have tho honor to acknowledge the receipt ol your letter of March -84, Inviting me to attend the meeting of the commercial congress of the western agricultural and mining states t» assemble In Kansas City April 14 to 1#, for the purpose of considering measures affecting the general agricultural business prosperity of tho Mississippi Vailey states. I regret that It will not be possible for me to accept this Invitation. If I am not detained here by public business I shall probably start about that time for the Paclllc coast t!y the Southern Pacific route: and If that purpose should be thwurtcd it will be by oonsldoratlons that will also prevent the acceptance of your Invitation. "A public discussion of the conditions affecting agricultural and business prosperity cannot but be helpful, If It is conducted on broad lines and is hospitable to differences of opinion. The extraordinary developments of production of agriculture which has taken pluce in rocent periods In this country by reason of tho rapid enlargement of tlie area of tillage, under tbo fuvoring laws of the United States, very naturally has called attention to the value, and

Indeed the necessity, of larger markets. I am ono of those who believe that a home

mrkct

is necessarily the best market for

the producer, uj it measurably emancipates him, in proportion to Its nearness from the exactions of the transportation companies. If tho farmer could deliver his surplus produce to the consumer out of Ills farm wagon his independence and his profits would bo larger and surer. It seems to ine quite possible to attain largely Increased market for our staple farm products without Impairing tlx home market by opening the manufacturing trades to a competition In rhich foreign producers paying a lower scale of wages jvould have ttio advantage. A policy thai would reduce the number of our people ongaged In inochaiiieal pursuits or diminish tholt ubility to purchase food products by reducing wages cannot bo helpful to those now engaged in agriculture. The farmers insist that tho prices of farm products have been too low, below the point of fair living and fair profits. I think so too, but I venture to remluil them that the plea they make Involves the concession that things may be too cheap. A coat may be loo cheap as well us corn. Tlie farmer who claims good living and profits for bis work should concede tUe same to every other man and wonittU who tolls. 1 look with great conii ilenve to the completion of further reciprocal

irao* arrangements, espsolally with the Ceatral and South Amerlean states, as furnishing sew and large markets for meats, breadstuff* snd an Important Una of manufactured prodsets. "Persistent and earnest efforts are also being made and a considerable measure of sucoess has already been attained to secure the removal of restrictions which wo have regarded as unjust, upon tho admission and use of our meats and live cattle In somo of the European countries. I look with confidence to a successful termination of the pending negotiations, because 1 cannot but assume that when th» absolutely satisfactory character of the sanitary inspections now provided by our law is made known to theso foreign states they will promptly relax thoir discriminating regulations. No effort and none of the powers vested in the executive will be left unused to seoure an end which Is so desirable. "Your deliberations will probably also embrace tho consideration of the question of tho volume and character of our currency. It would not be possible and would not be appropriate for me in this letter to enter upon any elaborate discussion of these questions. Ono or two things I will say, and first, I boltovc that every person who thought fully considers the qriostion will agree with m* upon a proposition which is at the base of all my consideration of the ourrency question, namely that any dollar, paper or oein, that Is issued by the Unitod States must bo made and kept In its commercial uses as good as any other dollar. So long as any paper money issued or authorized by the United States government is accepted In oommerclal use aB the equivalent of the best oolned dollar, whether of silver or gold, is assured of an equal value In commercial use, there need be no fear as to an excess of money. The more such money the better. "But, on the other band, whon any Issue of paper or coin dollars Is In buying and selling rated at a less value than other paper or oolned dollars, we have passed the limit of safe experiment in finance. If we have dollars of different value, only the poorest will olrculate. Th. farmer and the laborer, who are not In hourly touch with the tloker or the telegraph, will require above all other olasses of our community, a dollar of full value. Fluctuations and depredations are always at the first oost of these olasses of our community. The bunko and speculator anticipate discount and always profit by suoh fluctuations. It Is very easy under tbo impulse of exoltement or the stress of money stringency to fall into the slough of depreciated or Irredeemable currency. It Is very painful and slow business to get out when once In. "I havo always believed and do now more than ever believe in bimetallism and favor the fullest use of silver in connection with our ourrenay that Is compatible with the malntenanoe of the parity of the gold and silver dollar In their commercial uses. Nothing, In my Judgment, would so retard the restoration of the free use of Bllver by the commercial nations of the world as legislation adopted by us that would result In placing this country upon a basis of silver monometallsm. The legislation adopted by cthe first session of the Fifty-first oongress, I was assured by leading advocatos of free coinage and representatives of the silver states, would promptly and permanently bring silver to tl.W per ounce and keep it there. That antioipa tlon has not been realized. Our larger use of sliver has apparently and for reasons not yet agreed upon diminished the demnnd for silver in China and India. In view of the fact that It Is Impossible In thts letter to elaborate, and that the propositions only can bo stated, I am aware that what I have said may be assailed In points where It Is easily defensible, but where I have not attempted to present the argument. "I have not before, exceptlngln an official way, expressed myself on these subjects but feeling the Interest, digriltj- and importance of the assemblage in whose behalf you speak, I have ventured without bigotry of opinion, with out any assumption of Infallibility, but aB an American citizen having a most earnest desire that every individual snd every publlo act of my life shall conduoe to the glory of our country and the prosperity of all our people, to submit these views for your consideration. Very respectfully,

BENJAMIN HARRISON."

A letter was also read from lion. J. M. Rusk, secretary of agriculture. He suggests the subjects of "transportation," "markets" and "federal and state statistics" as the pivotal questions affecting the farmer,

Senator Peffer, of Kansas, wrote that the objects of the congress met his hearty approval, and expressed the hope that it would result in bringing tho people of the west nnd the south into closer social and commercial relations. "We have been kept apart BO long," his letter continued, "that It seemed almost hopeless to expect a union. Now, 1 understand that this commercial congress to be held in Kansas City proposes to assist in the inauguration of a scheme which will unify the commercial interests of the south and west That being your object I pray yon godspeed."

Charles Francis Adams, of Boston, wrote that It would not be profitable for him to prepare an address such as he had been invited to present to the congress. His views, he said, were so radical as well as positivo that they would not prove acceptable to such a body as the congress proposed would necessarily be. While he recognized the hardships of the present situation In the west he did not believe that any action except Individual action was necessary for a remedy. Continuing Mr. Adams" letter read: "The very general popular idea which now exists that the government is the grand paternal do-all to protect evoryone and everything and to provide remedies for every 111 jhat the body politic is subject to I do not sympathize wilh. On tho contrary, I am so out of date and antiquated in my opinions as to think thul the world Is governed altogether too much and that It has rarely been governed so much or so badly as it has been In tbls country within the last twenty-five years. What our country needs most of all, In my judgment. Is in matters legislative to be severely lot alone and that the industrious and thrifty people thereof be permitted to woik out their and Its salvation in their own way. If so left they will work out that salvation a great deal quickcr and great deal more satisfactorily than they will ever succeed In doing while the government Incessantly encumbers them with its well-ineaut but most ill-advised assistance In so doing."

Dealing singly with the subject prepared for discussion by the congress, Mr. Adums wrote that he did not believe there was any general business and agricultural depression except that due to natural and temporary causes that the manufacturing interests of the country always had been successfully promoted by individuals when the government had left them alone, and that every interference of tlie government in this matr ter, so fur as he knew, from the beginning lo the Multinley act, had been detrimental to the public interest.

The convention then proceeded to effect a permanent organization. Gov. Francis, of issouri, was chosen president and Temporary Secretary Springer was retained as permanent secretary. Twenty-four vice presidents, one from each state represented, were appointed. The usual committees were then selected and the congress adjourned until uiorping.

A SOL'TIIKHX WKI.CO.MK.

ROANOKE, Va., April 15.—The train bearing tho presidential party, which left Washington at midnight, arrived at Roanoke at 8:50 o'clock a. m. Tuesday. As the train neared the city people who had been apprised of its coming stood along the tracks and on ears and fences and cheered a welcome. The people on the platform were packed in a dense mass and outside tlie fence inclosing the tracks crowds gathered in an endeavor to catch 11 glimpse of the chief magistrate. As the train came to a standstill the president appeared on tho rear platform and was greeted with chcers. Mrs. Harrison, Postmaster General Wanamaker, Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Russell Harrison and Marshal Ransdell also stood on the platform. The president smiled and laughed as ho reached down over the railing, grasping hand after hand in quick sueesssiou. Then a eiy of "Speech, speech," was sent up and the president, leaning on the railing of the platform, made ajfow remarks touching the increasing prosperity of Virginia. The speech was received with much enthusiasm, and, as the train drew out of the station, inure cheers were given by the crowd.

KSOXVIM.E, Tenn., April IS.—The town of Radford acknowledged the honor of the president's visit in a cordial way. Many of tho inhabitants were assembled at the station, and they cheered the president heartily. He went out on the back platform and shook hands with all within roach.

A great crowd was found massed iu the station at Bristol, and a committee from that city headed by Judge Harvey Wood boarded the train and escorted the president to a high bluff, where he was introduced to the people. The president made an address, which he opened by declaring that he had had pleasure and Instruction during his trip through a portion of Virginia, lie referred to the now-developing industries and landed the addition of mechanics to agriculture. He said: "What binders us. seoure in the market of our own groat population, from successful competition in the markets of the worldf What hinders our people, possessing every element of material wealth and endowed with Inventive genius and energy unsurpassed, from again having upon the seas a merchant marine, flying the flag ol our country and carrying Its commerce Into every sen and every ports I am glad to stand for this moment among you, glad to express my sympathy with you In ovory enterprise that tends lo develop your stato and looal communities. May ponco, prosperity and social order dwell In your communities and tho fear and love of God in every homo."

The party then returned to the train and the president shook hands with many puoplc from the car platform. Brief speeches were made by Postmaster General Wanamaker and Secretary Rusk. There was so much cheering for Mrs. Harrison that she was compelled to come out on the platform and bow her acknowledgments.

The next stopping placc was Johnson City and there the party met with a royal reception. There were about 3,000 persons, including many grand army men, gathered around a gaily decorated stand in the public square, and the president's appearance was greeted with loud cheers, the playing of bands and the blowing of steam whistles. Representative Taylor introduced the visitors to the people. The president addressed thcin, and speeches were also made by Postmaster-General Wanamaker and Secretary Rusk, after which the train sped on toJonesboro, where the president made an address from the rear platform of the train.

Greencville, Tenn., the home of Andrew Johnson, was specially cordial in its welcome to the presidential party, a feature being the display of flags.

The residents of the onterprising city of lvnoxville turned out en masse to do honor to the president and his cabinet ollicers. A military salute was fired. A carriage drawn by four horses was plaued at the president's disposal and I10 was shown the principal points'of interest in the vicinity. The other members of the party were also provided with carriages. A public reception was held and Col. W. A. Henderson delivered an address of welcome, to which tlie. president responding said: "MY FKIXOW CITIZENS: It gives me pleasure to visit this historical city. 1 am glad to know that that deep devotion to that cuusc which manifested Itself in the oarly contributions of Tennessee to the armies that went to tho defense of the homes of the northwest abides still in these valleys and crowns with its glory and luster every hilltop of the Alieghcnles. I bsg to say to you that whoever supposes that there Is anywhere In the northern states any Jealousy of your groat material progress wholly misconceives the friendly heart of the people of tho north. It iu my wish, as 1 am sure It is the wish of all with whom 1 associate in political life, that tlie streams of prosperity in the south may run bankful that In everything that promotes the prosjierlty of the stato, the security and comfort of the community and happiness of the individual home your blessings may bo full and unstinted. We live In a government of law. We may safely differ about policies we may safely dlvldu upon tlie question us to wliut shall he the law, but when tho law Is OLC'C enucted no community can safely divide on tho question of implicit obcdionce to tbc law. I may not choose as president what laws I will enforce, and the citizen may not choose what laws ho will obey. Upon this broad principle our Institutions rest. Therefore, my uppoal everywhere is to hold tlio law in veneration und revercnco. Wo liavo no other king public officers arc your servants, hut in the august and majestic presence of tlie law we all uncover and bow the knee." I In the evening (.'ol. E. J. Sanford gave a reception in honor of the presidential party which was attended by all the prominent people of Knoxvillc. I
