FARMERS AND SILVER General Rov Stone Addresses the Congress on Bimetallism. DR. SATELDO OF VENEZUELA. Benjamin Il»rri*on Asked to Address th* Session Resolutions Declaring Hie Saloon a NuisiM.ee and Calling on Congress to Abolish the One lu the National Capitol—Graded Income Tax. Indianapolis, Nov. 12.—At the opening of the Farmers’ Congress a committee was appointed to wait upon exPresident Harrison, present him with ' the compliments of the congress and invite him to address the assemblage. L. S. Coffin of lowa recited in a resolution that the saloon was a nuisau -e and added incidentally to the farmer s burdens, calling on congress to pass laws curtailing the nuisance and to begin first by abolishing the saloon in the capitol building at Washington: Joshua Strange of Indiana introduced a resolution asking congress to appoint a corps of civil engineers to ascertain the practicability of a ship canal connecting the Atlantic with the great lakes. S. A. Bacon by resolutions expressed a desire for congress to take more active measure in restricting undesirable immigration; also that it should be made a criminal offense for any man or organization to interfere with the right of any man to labor whereeyer and for whomever he pleased. W. H. Hoffman of Jeffersonville, Ills, presented a resolution favoring a graded income tax and the exemption of farming implements from taxation; he also favors the initiative and referendum in legislation. Mr. Stahl of Illinois desires that the laws against trusts be enforced and such laws as are inadequate bestrengthened. „ Dr. Sateldo. delegate from X eneznela, was introduced to the congress by President Clayton. Dr. Sateldo is a diplomat© in his own country. He said l:e wished to thank the congress for inviting his country to participate in their deliberat ions ms farmers, and fun her he wished to thank them and through" them the people of the United States for the noble stand this country had taken in the dispute his island country had with the British government. He thanked them for the Monroe doctrine and said Venezuela would always be found upholding that principle. The Congress gave him a rising vote Os thanks. General Roy Stone. , General Roy St ime of the department of agriculture, Washington, read a paper entitled “The Battle Is Over; Shall the War Go On?” General Stone is known among the delegates as the colonel who commanded the Bucktail regiment from Pennsylvania during the late war. The regiment was raised in lumber regions of the Keystone state and each man wore a buck's tail in his cap. General Stone's paper, which was listened to attentively, was in part as follows: - “Though the presidential, election .of. 1896 turned wholly upon ‘silver,’’ it touched only a side issue of the great‘silver question’ it dealt only with its merits and the perils of American free coinage. Even upon that side issue, this election, of itself may settle nothing. IV is not in human nature that a park', which has made such headway in its first fight should be willing to accept one defeat as final. Unless, therefore. the situation is wholly changed by some wide action of the victors, this campaign may only serve to line up the opposing forces and embitter the existing antagonisms for a hotter conflict in the future, and one in which thisminor detail will still continue to obscure and displace the main question in this case —the question that will have to be met -and met with deliberation when the strife has ended in ruin or exaustion.”

General Stone submitted the following project for international silver money: 1. An international mint be opened under the auspices and management of tne governments of the chief commercial countries of the world. 2. Silver international coins which may be known as globe dollars and fractions thereof, bearing their denominations in shillings, frattes, etc., on the one side and an internni ioital symbol with the names of the Union states on the other to be coined and freely issued in exchange for gold or its equivalent, or form silver bullions at the in irhet urife.' < js. Heavy bars or oiocks or stiver to be numbered and stamped with their full international .coinage value for use in bank reserves or for export or domestic transfer. 4. Certificates to be issued, on deposit of silver bullion at the marker' value or of these proposed coins, bars or Mocks. and certificates to be receivable for public dues and to exchangeable for gold at the centra) mint anil at its agencies in all countries of the Union. 6. All profit of tI«T coinage, stampage and issue of certificates for bullion 8b be placed in a reserve fund invested in stable government securities, to s cure the parity of this lAitirency with gold; tl'ie interest arising from such securities to be added to the fluid. 7. The coinage, stampage or issue of certificates to be. curtailed whenever the deilxmid. ..for.. ex change _ into.. go kL iuuLates a redundancy of either. 8. The mini and fund lo be managed by a I'ommission-consisting of.representatives nominated by’ the governments joining the union, one from each country, butall,matters of general policy to lie determined by a majority in interest a.s well as by a majority in numbers;,?the ‘‘lnterest” of each nation being •determined at first by the Value of its external commerce and later amount olMnterna 1 ional currency ' actually taken by its cftizi-iis. ' - ' “If,” he'said, in conclusion, “a secured international silver currency cun be successfully established it may serve all th q qiubiicr purposes of bimetallism better tlfat bimetallism itself and withoutfimy of its risks. Ft makes no sudden and extreme demand upon the confideiioe of capital. It Xvill not unduly stimulate the production of silver. It will broaden the metallic hn«e ♦h?

world’s currency; anil, while it will not . at ouoe restore ft par of exchange bo- - tween gold and silver countries, it will i give stability to business by a steady approach It will talco tho wholo ; subject out of the realms of doubt and ' controversy and give a season of tlnan- ■ cial peaoe to the commen ial world. It I may even give political peace to the American union.” Coi»initt*e on ITesidont’s Addre**. The committee to whom was referred the president’s address have performed their work and will present their report, covering the suggestions made by President Clayton to the congress, and it is I expected it will be adopted without ; I change It says that in order to give I effect to the policy of protection three | things are to be observed: I 1. The American farmers can supply | ■nearly all farm products in sufficient ( amounts to meet the needs ot the AmeriI can peonle. 2. That as to farm products there can) ' be no combination or monopoly to ex-, I act exorbitant prices. I 8. It results from these facts that as ' to such term products the duties should be such as to secure to American : farmers the whole American market, i Among the products where such I duties are to be required are cotton, I hemp, flax. wheat, corn, barley, oats I potatoes, hops, dairy products, garden < ■ vegetables, poultry, eggs, live stock for I food, many kinds.of tobacco, apples and other orchard fruits. i ! As to sugar, wool and rice, which the j American farmer can get sufficiently I produced to supply all our needs, the I memorial says the duties should not be ' prohibitory, but they should be amply protective, so that in due time we shall ■ be enabled to supply all. At the Commercial Club. Delegates to the Farmer’s Congress ' ! were given a reception by the Commer- j j cial club and board of trade last nightj l A buffet luncheon was served and an I orchestra furnished music. A few inI formal speeches were made, but most of j i the time was spent by the delegates and I the two commercial bodies in getting acquainted with each other. CAPTAIN A. S. MERRIMAN.

WANT A WOOL TARIFF ' Farmers Want an Extra Session of the National Congress. TALK BY PRESIDENT HARRISON. lie Telia Hln Hearers to Seek Out That I Which Is Wrong, Thon Hit It and Hit Hard-Textile Departments Deaired In Agricultural Colleger—Other Rvsolutionii* Indianapolis, Nov. 13.—When the Fanner’s Congress convened yesterday it took up the report of the committee on president’s address and after discussion, adopted it us reported. The report deals with the Dingley tariff bill passed by the last house. Mr. Lawrence, chairman of the committee, charged that the law was drawn largely in favor of the wool manufacturer as against the wool grower. The report asks for an extra session of congress to enact a protective tariff law and demands that the senate amend the Dingley bill so as to provide as follows: 1. That the “skirting clause” of the act of 1890 shall not be applicable to the bill. 2. That the pledge therein that it shall continue in operation “until Aug. 1, 1898” shall be struck out, 8. That the .duties on woolen rags, shixidy, mungo, flock, noils, wastes and other adulterants shall be made prohibitory. 4. That wool and woolen manufactures imported under its provisions shall not remain in bonded warehouses more than 10 days. Following the adoption of the committees report Mr. Lawrence of Ohio introouced a resolution recommending that the governors of the several woolgrowing states ask the legislatures of such states to provide by law for the organizing of a department for instruction in textile industries in the agricultural colleges of such states. The preamble recites that the textile industries of Europe and of our eastern states have been built up by such schools, and that it is to the interest of the woolgrowing states that the homegrown wool should be manufactured at home, thus placing the woolgrower and the manufacturer as near together as possible. The r 'solution nlet with favor aiid was adopted. Kx-President Harrison. Ex-Pressdent Harrison who had been invited to address the congress appeared in the hall, business was suspended and President Clayton introduced him to the delegates. The ex-president addressed .the congress in part as follows: “I come here simply to make acknowledgment of the compliment you have shown me by inviting me to appear before this convention. I suppose that politics is barred, and that this i? strictly an agricultural meeting. I am not learned in agriculture, though I was born and reared upon the farm, and whatever education I acquired vias paid for by the proceeds of, corn, and wheat, and hogs.” After speaking of. the benefits to be derived from organization, if based on a broad and comprehensive plqn, in correcting grievances and the building up of the calling thus organized, Air. Harrison continued: ' “Don’t fight as one that beateth the air. I have no patience whatever with those people who are always fighting the air. If you have something to antagonize, out with it; specify it; make your attack directly. It must be so if it is to be effective. If there are abuses of any kind in legislation, (jQ'V'V.ie busfness of the country, let us fix the public eye upon them until we have exposed the evil, and. then we can trust the country to make it right. It is mischievous to denounce classes, and this, th°in,p and that. If there are trusts, let us know it, and bring legislation to bear upon them, and court decrees to bear upon them; and then we have accomplished something. This beating the air is accomplishing nothing, except to. heat the man that is doing the beating. It does not hurt anybody else. “I was greatly pleased the other day, riding upon a railroad train, to have one of the brakemen of the train come and'sit down beside me, and, in talking about the result of the campaign, to say: T don’t like this idea of inflaming the workingman against his employer. If we are not getting wages enough, let us look after that, and don’t let us conceive hate and malice and bitterness in our hearts. It don’t help us; it don’t help anybody. Let us specify what is wrong, and go after that.’ I said to him: ‘Yes, you are right.’ And I want to say one thipg further. Whatever they may say about class interests and divisions in this couutKy the xrraa.thauz-t pi tne American people is for the truth and right always. If any man will make it plain for the American people that liejs oppressed; that he is not,getting his’rights, then I undertake to say to you that the American people will be on his sine, against whatever may oppress him. “My thought is, if you think there are wrongs and grievances in the business condition’s, or in legislation, hunt them out ana specify them, hold them up to the public judgment, and have faith in your fellowmen. For I say to you that-the great body of the people, an overwhelming majority, are in favor always of justice and fairness, and if you make that appeal to them they will respond. They want to have you specify. It you are going to have a fight, have solllellll ng to hit, and hit' it hard.' Men will applaud the blow that you deliver.” 'Committee on RewolHitions. The committee on resolutions reported in favor of the following resolutions, and their recommendations wore adopted. That congress provide an amendment to the constitution lo grant to woman the right of suffrage; that the laws agaifisttrnstfiMiiF amended and enforced ;~ that the growth of beetland'cane sugars be encouraged; that , the postoffice department forward the betterment of mail facilities to rural communities; that the United States congress take taeasures to prevent the spread of heg cholera and other swine diseases; that the national government take active Tnen’fires to prevent undesirable immigration. • ftT . • ” . x ■ -

TTWASSENSATIONAL Great Excitement at the Examination of Edward J, Ivorv. ENGLISH SPY GIVES TESTIMONY. Witness Bald He Joined Irish Secret Orgitnisutlon* In Thi* Country, Among I Them the CJuu-Na-Guel, For the Purpose of Secnrlng Evidence For the British Govornmout—Ho Is an Irishman. London, Nov. 14.—The final examination of Edward J. Ivory, alias Edward 8011, the saloonkeeper of New York and alleged dynamiter, at Bow street police court jesterday, developed into a sensation equal to the excitement caused by the revelations of the spy Le Caron. j The crown, represented by C. E. Gill, sprung u sensation, in the shape of the testimony of a government spy, known only as Jones, a native of Armagh, Ireland, who seems to have succeeded in becoming a member of sec.ct Irish organizations in New York “under instruction, ” ami to have possessed himI self of secrets of the Clan-Na-Gaol us- ■ sociation.. I Ivory has hitherto behaved in a most ; unconcerned manner, as if confident of acquittal; but, when Jones was placed in the witnessbox, the prisoners face showed consternation. He was completely staggered by the appearance of I Jones under such circumstances. Mr. Gill asked the presiding magis- : trate to stop all sketching in court, say- ; ing nothing should be allowed to trans- ' pire to identify the witness in the fuj ture. I Jones suddenly addressed Magistrate ; Vaughn, saying: “A reporter is taking i a sketch of me. I fear for my safety. ” . The magistrate ordered the sketching stopped and ordered that no written description of the witness be intide. Jones is a tall, insignificant looking man, about 5 IJeet 5 inches high, with a brown beard and mustache and hair a shade darker. He .has a bulging forehead and black eyes, pale complexion, and has a furtive, shifty look. He was very nervous while in court, and was constantly pulling his beard. He spoke with a pronounced brogue. He delivered his testimony as though in fear of his life and seemed to be scared at the sound of his own voice. Ivory’s counsel asked the witness the initials of his name and demanded to know his address in New York, but the witness replied: “I fear for my safety and decline to give the particular location.” He was upheld in his refusal by the magistrate. Counsel for the prisoner solemnly asked: ‘Did you take the oath of the Olan-Na-Gael?” Upon hearing this question Jones turned lividly pale, hesitated for a moment and then feebly answered: “Yes.” 'Counsel—“You were intending, at the time, not to observe it?’ ’ Jones —“Yes, 1 did not intend to obgerveit.” Counsel—" Have you any respect for the oath you have given here today?” Jones—" Yes,” in a weak voice. This incident caused the deeptest impression upon all present in the courtroom.

In reply to a question Jones says he was elected treasurer of “The Nally club” whose meetings were of the most secret description. Jones presented tpyewritten copies of the constitution and ritual of the Clan-Na-Gjtel. • Mr. Carter, Ambassadors Bayards" secretary, was present in court as representative of the United States embassy, in order to watch the proceedings in be half of the United States .officials hereBRADSTREET. Mail Order* In«rea*ing; and Collection* Kantor—Steady Improvement. New York, Nov. 14.—Bradstreets’ today says: The volume of business improves steadily in nearly all lines. The most active demand is among-jobbers in dry goods, clothing, millinery, shoes, leather and hardware, and in leading" industrial lines, nearly 200 mills, factories and foundries having started up this week, one half of them in iron, steel, machinery, tools, carriages, lumber, glass, woolen and cotton giious lines. Abiuit, 1.30 industrial establishments have increased working forces or hours or both, among them 19 iron and steel establishments, 10 glass works and four factories, each making lamps, "clocks; woolen and cotton goods. A partial record of the number of men given employment in industrial lines since Nov. ii shows an aggregate of nearly 30,000. Western jobbers report an increase in mail orders and mercantile collections in the western, central and southern states are easier. ’ Senator Lodge a* to Venezuela. - Massillon, 0., Nov. 14. —Senator Lodge >of Massachusetts, in reply to a question whether it was not dangerous for the United States to assume the role of the principal instead of Veneznela lu the arbitration with England, writes as follows: “I prefer not to give an absolute opinion until the treaty is made .public. So far aS I understand the terms of settlement from' the newspapers, we have completely carried our point, and it is a gYeat and most important victory for our contention ana the Monroe doctrine. Venezuela placed herself in our hands and asked no more than we have obtained, arbitration.” Lays Hl* Trouble to J 4 T. Brush. Chicago, Nov/ 14.— President Andrew Freedmen of the New York baseball club accuses other presidents of the league of instigating the suits brought by Pitcher Amos Kusie agaipst the New York club. He lays his troubles at the door of John T. Brush and F.
