SILVER THE PANACEA.

TS RESTORATION WOULD HARD TIMES. END The Memphis Convention Adopts Resolution Declaring for Free Coinage by the United States, Whether Other Nutiona Act or Not. Speech by Stewart. The Memphis silver convention completed its labors Thursday night by the adoption of a series of free-coinage resolutions and providing for a "national campaign of education." The lirst speaker of the day was Senator William Stewart of Nevada. lie said: The object lemons of the last three years $hov that the American people are face to Tacc with concentrated capital, the enemy which destroyed all previous civilizations. A Ehrluklng volume of money us compared wita population and business produces falling prices, paralyzes Industry and compels the producers of wealth to pawn their property to continue the struggle against impending fate. The modem Colossus, the Hothscliilds combination, is the greatest brokerage establishment the world has ever Keen, it deals with corporations and nations which force from the people their earnings eitner ly monopolizing tlie necess:ric3 of life or through the sovereign power of taxation. It furnishes money for Its customers by selling their bonds to the public for vastly more than the st to the combination. The vast bonded debts of the United States and Kurope have passed through their hands for nearly a century, and tüe Increment retained by the Kotuschilds alone. Independent of their numerous associates, is estimated at ?l!,ouu,0 w.oou This combination robbed the United States of gold to convert the silver debt of Austria Into gold obligations and made $100,00 ,000 !n the transaction. In 1JW3 the vaults of the United States Treasury were opened and more than Sfloo,OUO.OOJ of gold was shipped to Austria with the aid ot the administration, which refused to exercise the option provided bv Congress to pay In either gold or silver. I'.y this means the great combination wrecked the Usances of tuis country nnd created the panic of IHM. Trance and Germany made no abjection to the wicked work of the syndicate while its raid was sweeping away the fortunes of the American people, but they protected themselves by retuslng to furnish gold for the Austrian speculation, and when gold was demanded for export they paid their obligations lu silver, as the Congress of the United States had authorised the Secretary of the Treasury to do. The success of the gold combination In repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act and thereby ratifyiu;,- and conlinnlng the Infamous act and thereby ratifying and confirming the Infamous act of 1S73, demonetizing sliver, placed the fortunes of 70,000,000 people at the mercy of the gold kings. The temporary lull in the financial storm which the country now enjoys was bought. The price paid for peace and protection bhows the prostrate condition of the people of this country before the power of gold monopoly, Cleveland gave the IlothBchilds combination ?1'J,k.w",000 In the difference between the market price and what ho received for U:i,UOO.OOO United States bonds, and further agreed In consideration of such protection to allow the combination to purchase whatever bonds might be Issued before the meeting of another Congress. What further proof is required than th!s contract to demonstrate that the gold of the world Is cornered? A banking corporation contracts to chance the currentsof International commerceand agrees that no gold shall be shipped from the t'nlted States for a period of eight months. How could the Rothschilds combination perform such a contract and stp the shipment of geld from America to Europe unless they had control of the gold? The goldites proclaim lhat the people of this country are entitled to the best money with the greatest purchasing power of any money in the world. What right have tho people to the gold which the combination owns and controls? The people now know where the gold is which they are told Is the only money they can have. The people have at Inst taken this matter Into their own hands. Twenty years of betrayal have taught them that equivocal platforms and good-Lord-good-devil politicians mean gold monopoly. They now know that those who say they are friendly to silver, but want something accomplished without doing It themselves, are enemies and cannot be trusted. No man Is a bimetalllst who does not advocate bimetallism as it existed for thousands of years before Sherman visited England In 1M7 and before he carried out the purposes of an English syndicate to strike down silver in 1S7S1. Conventions and tho party lash have thwarted the will of the people for twenty years. The American people have been betrayed with a kiss for the iast time. We now know that every one who qualities his determination to fight for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to I by ttie United States alone Is an enemy of the cause. All we demand Is the 1; to 1 statutes of 1S34 and 1K57. There are no "ifs and "ands" about those statutes. There are none In the creed of a true bimr-tal-list. The advocates of free coinage at 1G to 1 by the 1'nited States alone comprise threefourths of the voters of the United States. The only hope for gold monopoly Is to divide and conquer. They have played that g:ime for the last time. The hearts of the people are In a common cause, produced by a common calamity. Text of the Resolutions. The resolutions adopted advocate the freo and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 1G to i, declare that international co-operation is not necessary, and attribute the recent hard times entirely to the demonetization of silver. The resolutions follow: Silver and gold coins have In all ages constituted the money of the world, were the money of the fathers of the republic, the money of history and of the constitution. The universal experience of mankind has demonstrated that the joint use of both silver and gold coin as money constitutes the most stable standard of alue and that the full amount of both metals is necessary as a medium of exchange. The demonetization of eithr of these historic metals means an appreciation from the value of money, a fell In the price of commodities, a diminution of the prolits of legitimate business, a continuing Increase in the burden of debts, a withdrawal of money from the channels of trade and Industry, where It no longer yields n safe and sure return, und its idle accumulation In the banks and the great money centers of the country. There Is no health or soundness In a flnancla1 system under which a hoarded dollar Is productive of Increase to Its possessor while an Invested dollar yields a constantly diminishing return and under which fortunes are made by the accretions of idle capital or destroyed by a persistent fall In the price of commodities and a persistent dwindling In the margin of profits in almost every branch of useful Industry. Such n system Is a premium upon sloth and a penalty upon Industry and such a system is that which the criminal legislation of 1873 has Imposed upon this country. The bimetallic standard of silver and cold has behind It the experience of ages and has jieen tested and approved by the enlightened and deliberate Judgment of mankind. The gold standard is u departure from the established policy of the civilized world, with nothing to commend It bu twenty-two years of depression and disaster to the people and extraordinary accumulation of wealth In the hands of the few. Believing that It Is absolutely necessary to reverse this Iniquitous and ruinous policy, we, therefore, Itesolve, That we favor the Immediate restoration of silver to Its former place as full legal tender, standard money, equal With gold, and the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold At the ratio of 1U to 1 and upon terms of exaet equality. That while we should welcome the cooperation of other nations we believe that the United States should not wait upon the pleasure of foreign governments or the con sent of foreign creditors, but should themselves proceed to reverse the 'grinding process" that Is destroying the prosperity of the people and should lend by their example the nations or the earth. That the rights of the American people. the Interests of American labor, and the !rosperlty of American Industry have a ilgher claim to the consideration of the people's lawmakers than the creed of for elgn creditors or the avaricious demands made by "idle holders of idle capital." The right to regulate Its own monetary system In the Interests of Its own people Is a right which no free government can barter, sell,

i or surrender. This reserved right Is a part

oi every oonu, ui every couiruei. and of every obligation. No creditor nr claimant ran set tin ft rlarht that can take precedence over a nation s obliga tions to promote ir.e weiiare oi iu? uiasac of Its own people. This Is a debt higher and more binding than all other debts and one which It Is not only dishonest but treasonable to Ignore. Under the financial policy that now prevails we see the land filled with idle and discontented worklngmen and an ever-gro.vlng army of tramps men whom lack of work and opportunity have made outcasts and beggars. At the other end we find tin t a few thousand families own one-half the wealth of the country. The centralization of wealth has gone hand In hand with Mia spread of poverty. The pauper and the tiliitncrit ir twin children of the SniUO vicious and unholy system. The situation is full of menance to the liberties of the people and the life of the public. The Issue Is enfranchisement or hopeless servitude. Whatever the power of the money can do by debauchery and corruption to maintain Its grasp on the lawmaking power will be done. We therefore appeal lo the plain people of the land with perfect confidence in their patriotism and Intelligence to arouse themtmtvna ti n full crr.co of tho nrll that con fronts them and defend the citadel of their liberties with a vigilance that suau ucuuer Eluiaber nor sleep. They Offer No Solution. In all the arguments offered against the rehabilitation of silver there is a noticeable absence of any suggestion for a remedy for the difficulties that beset the producing classes the world over where gold monometallism exists. The one plea is that the monopoly of gold in the measurement of values shall be allowed to go on. The insistance is unremitting that there is no temedy for the continued appreciation of the purchasing power of the yellow metal. The individual who contracts a debt to-day that is payable with a certain amount of labor or a certain quantity of tho product of his brain or muscle, which is tho same tiling, must bo compelled to face the necessity of not only paying the fixed interest upon the obligation, but he must be prepared to pay an additional amount equal to the enhanced value of gold at the time his debt becomes due. None but the most feeble efforts arcmade to deny the plain fact that industry everywhere is suffering from the money blight. They admit that the price of silver was demoralized by the extension of the gold standard policy at the demand of the money sweaters. At any rate no denial of that fact is attempted. But they offer no hope of a return to the bimetallic basis except by vague references to a possible international agreeement to that end. International eo-opcration was not necessary to go the other way, and it would be Impossible for them to show that there is any other bar to the rehabilitation of silver independent of a general agreement other than the power that the money monopolists have gained through the independent action of the various industrial countries. The weakness of their arguments lies In th fact that their discussions are confined to the very obvious and superficial aspects of the question without touching upon the real economic features of the case. And by this policy they hope to keep the people blinded to the material considerations whiiAi embrace the real and vital part of the great subject. Denver News. An Kffectivc Object Lesson. The Atlanta Constitution, which Is 1 one of the few metropolitan dailies that Is fighting for free silver uncompromis ingly, is doing some telling work in the cause. One most effective object lesson shows the story of one year of the gold standard. The Constitution prints the official record by States of the value of property returned for tax ation in 1S03 and 1S94, and tho result is startling. There Is almost a -iniform decrease of values throughout tho South ti ml West, the sum total amounting to $300,000.000. Only In Florida, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, of the Southern States, is any increase j shown, and it is light Of the Western and Middle States, only Minnesota and j Missouri show an increase. With these exceptions not a single State or Ter ritory west of the Mississippi shows an increase. The net decrease of property valuation in that section Is $210,071,153. In nddition to Its table of figures, the Constitution prints a map, "and thereby hangs a tale." While the South and West were having the life crushed out of them by the gold Juggernaut, it was unloading the proceeds s 11 in one corner of the United States. The map gives this corner in black, and it embraces only New York, Pennsylvania and tho New England States. That section only has profited by the gold standard. Tho only large Increases are at the big money centers New York, Boston and Philadelphia and the territory immediately contributory to those places in which the money has been congested and where tho stringency in currency and the corresponding shrinkage in values arc not felt. The net increase in values of this favored section is 312,110,505. This terrible devastation of all other sections for the benefit of one is but a beginning, but shows plainly what they will do with us if we let them ke?p on. Will Hear Fruit. The Illinois silver convention is being criticised as a one Idea affair, called for the single purpose of advancing free silver agitation and with nobody there to speak for the other side. The call opened the way for the attendance of gold advocates as well as the friends of silver, and the reason the former were not there was that word was sent out under Inspiration from the headquarters of the single standard that they should stay away. Tho convention left little comfort for fhe gald worshipers. It will bear fruit In other meetings. The next move on the program of those who inspired this meeting is tö have a national gathering for the same purpose. It will not matter If the gold wing of the party shall stay away from that also. The people know what Is going on and will understand why but one side is represented. It Is clear that the other side will venture no movement of the sort. Kansas City Journal.

TOPICS FOR FARMERS

A DEPARTMENT PREPARED FOR OUR RURAL FRIENDS. Angnst, September, and October the liest Months in Which to Cut TimberValue of Mineral FertilizersPlea for Detter Stock-Fat m Notes. When to Cut Timber. A correspondent of the English Mechanic writes on this subject as follows: "For strength, beauty and durability, I have found August, September and October the best, and February, March and April the wc-st months to cut wood. A red ma pip cut in September will keep in a round log perfectly white and sound mP.il the next August; while one cut in March will begin to blacken ami decay b;r the middle or last of June. This is not copied from any scientific work, but is what I have found to be a fact by many practical tests. Gray birch cut in September will keep in a good condition until the next September, if left in the woods cut In four-foot leitgrhs; while if cut in March and left in the same way It will be nearly worthless by August 1 at least, such is the result on my land. "White pine, like red maple, keeps white much longer if cut in September than if cut in March, and is not injured by the worms so much. I have found that wood dried slowly in a low, cool place is better than dried quickly in the hot sun, even though cut in summer. May tills not in a measure account for wood being better cut in autumn, It having the cold winter to dry in?" Mineral Fertilizers for Beans. Beans at e of the leguminous order of plants. They not only take carbon through their leaves, as all plants do, but they also have in their roots the power of decomposing" air in the soil, and using its nitrogen as clover does. Beans do not need nitrogenous manure. It is likely to make the crop grow too much to straw and too little to seed. The mineral manures, especially potash nnd phosphate of lime, are very valuable for the bean crop; but gypsum or sulphate of lime should not be used, as it makes the stalk grow too large. Fanners sow gypsum on clover, as in that the stalk and leaf are the parts where large growth is most wanted. But when the clover is grown for seed no gypsum should be sown, as it interferes with seeding just as gypsum does when used on the beau crop. American Cultivator. More and Better Stock. The majority of farmers keep too many horses for the work they haveto do, too many cows for their dairy voduct, too many hogs for the pork they have to put in the barrel and too many hens for the value of the eggs and poultry they have to sell. Are not these reasons enough why so many cannot make farming pay? If they can lessen the expense cf keeping a large stock and yet get the same product there will be a profit instead of a Iöös on all their farming operations. Compost the Farmer's Gold. It is well for farmers to look after their gold; not only the gold they possess, but the gold they may possess if they will but save the mean3 of bringing it in. A small compost heap by the side of tho garden, where weeds and waste matter can be saved, will jingle cut a gold dollar or two the following year, says the New York Tribune, if used in your corn hills. A compost heap in the barnyard, where bedding from horses, straw from house beds, droppings from cattle in the yard can be piled, will bring forth gold in your ii?xt year's hay crop. All the wood ashes from your fires are worth many dollars sown on your grassland. I use plenty of wood ashes in my hennery, which I mix with the droppings, and find it a great gold producer in my vegetable garden and potato crop; It is also a great fertilizer for corn and grass. A compost heap under the hoghouse window will not only produce golden-eared corn, but gold. The more compost the farmer can produce to enrich Iiis land, the more gold he will possess, for it is truly "The Farmer'a Cold." Mulching the Strawberries. Tho ground between the strawberry rows should be mulched, if that work has not been done. Long rye straw is the best material to use; the next best Is wheat straw or chaff. Fresh lawn grass is also excellent. Sawdust will stick to the fruit in wet weather, and should not be used. Whatever material is used, spread it on evenly, about half an inch in thickness, lifting up the vines and placing it by hand close to the plants. Whether the fruit Is grown for market or for home use, the mulch should be applied. Dirty fruit will not sell. If eaten at home, the berries will have to be washed, which spoils tkvir flavor. The mulch also Increases the fruit yield, as it tends to keep the soil moist and cool, and the vines when fruiting require a large amount of moisture. Apply the mulch before the plants are through flowering. Baltimore American. Pruning Grapevines. All the lower portions of the main shoots are comparatively naked, and the few stronger branches grow from the upper portion of the vine, says Meehan's Monthly, but a well-pruned vine will be covered with strong branches from the base to the summit This Is really the leading object In grapevine pruning, but not one In a hundred knows how to bring It about It Is wholly accomplished by summer pruning. The upper branches are usually tho strongest, and, If left to run, they will draw the nourishment from all the rest The well-Instructed arrope pruner watches his vines during ihe season of growth, and whenever one branch

Is Inclined to grow stronger than its4 neighbor, it is either pinched back, In order to check Its ambition, or else broken off entirely. The social problem of the "rich becoming richer and the poor poorer" apples here. We check the strong branch and the weaker is strengthened thereby. The Moon and P!antin;j. Is there any difference in the yield of potatoes planted in the new or the old of the moon? Answer Not if other things are equal. Plant good seed In a rich, well drained ami finely prepared soil, give good cultivation and protection from insect and fungus attacks, and you will get a crop regardless of whether the moon was en the wax or the wane when the planting was done. Where failures occur it is not necessary to look as far away as the moon to find the source of the trouble. If carefully and intelligently sought the causes will be found in some unfavorable climatic condition, as severe drouth or excessive rainfall, for which the moon is in no wise responsible, or else in some failure on the part, cf the farmer to do his work properly. Practical Farmer.

The Yincless Sweet Potato. Practical Farmer speaks of a variety of "vineless" sweet potato suitable for growth in the Eastern, Northern and Northwestern States, with short chunky vines that, planted at about the usual distance apart for ordinary potatoes, 3Vj feet of rows and 1VL feet in the row, yield 150 to 200 bushels per acre, and would bear putting much closer and seem to be hardy enough for the Northern States. A Sow years ago it was thought that a sweet potato grown north of the Carolinas was not good. Yet now, according to the authority quoted, the Jersey sweet potato takes higher rank than those grown farther South. The Home Price of Feed. In making a market at home for the grain and coarse fodder he grows the keeper of good stock saves himself a good deal of labor in finding a market for it. lie should not charge his stock all that the produce would bring if carried to market, as by feeding it at home he saves what marketing of it would cost, besides the value of the manure which the home feeding makes. This with many products is a large part of the price they would b ing when marketed. Cutting Off Woodlota. When a portion of the woodland Is cleared off in the winter it is often followed by the overturning of adjoining trees by the wind soon after the leaves come out. If a part of the wood lot Is cleared the whole should be, so that the new growth may start up evenly on all parts. But there are many woodlands that will be bettered by judicious thinning, 'cutting out those specimens least desirable, that the best may obtain larger growth. Notes. Many farmers underrate the vajue of a garden. Every farmer should have one, since it affords the best and by far the most economical living that can be had. Do not plow a piece of ground and leave it naked. Grow something on it to turn under. If the land will not produce a crop let it be gaining in fertility so as to prove profitable the next year. All beans are tender and quickly influenced by cool uights, hence nothing will be gained if the soil is not warm and tho weather in then favor. They require plenty of manure in the hill's. Warmth is what the lima beans, tomatoes and melons now want. As soon as they get started loosen the soil around them, so as to permit tiie warm air to get down into the ground to the roots. Those who keep bees should sow a patch of alsike clover for the bees to work upon. There will be no loss of space, as the alsike will prove profitable. Buckwheat Is ak:o an excellent crop for bees. A good way to lore through one season what has been made in another is to feed good food to poor stock; another way is to feed poor food to good stock. A bad ending is reached about as quickly by one route as the other. Remove all dead branches from large trees. They should be cut back to the sound, healthy wood with a saw, afterward smoothing the wounded part with a sharp chisel, and applying a coat of paint similar in color to the bark of the tree. Dry oats are an excellent food for young calves, and to induce them to eat them they may at first be slightly moistened with milk. If put in milk the calf many be choked. Oats contain the elements of the tissues of young animals most perfectly balanced, and with milk promote healthy growth. Beans and late potatoes should bo two profitable crops, especially as tho newest and latest improvements In planting and harvesting machinery for such crops have greatly reduced, the cost of production. It is now more a question of tho cost of fertilizers than of the labor bestowed in cultivation of these crops. Bees in connection with farming Is one of the most paying branches. It is no direct cost, as they will pay for themselves In one season, so money invested is returned by 100 per cent tho first year, and you have stock for another year, and have a most excellent article for the table. There Is always a ready market for honey. It Is better to plant too many seeds and pull out the surplus plants than to spare the seed. With tender plants tho risk of a late frost must be considered, and cold nights.will cause them to turn yellow, making but slow growth If plenty of seed has been used, tho late germinating seeds will escapo some of the drawbacks which effect the forward plants.

CLUBS AT CLEVELAND

REPUBLICAN LEAGUERS IN ANNUAL CONVFNTION. Currency Question Referred to the National Convention Committee on Kcsl;itions Compromises on an Ad drc&9 General in Character. Let Silver Alone. L'leveland correspondence: The eighth national convention of Republican clubi convened Wednesday ' Central Music Hall. Cieve'and, with '2.0 Jf) debates in the auditorium and the galleries lipid with visiters. After prayer by Bev. S. L. Darsie. Secretary Humphrey read the call, -an 1 adi!ros's of welcome w.to made by Messrs. McKisso:i and President D. I). Wodmmsee. of the Ohio League of Republican Clubs. President Tracy, of Chicago, then delivered th" annual address, which was a review of events political since the last convention, an arraignment of the Democratic administration and p licy and a caution. reference to Oliver, an enlarged use of which, the speaker said, everybody advocated, but bow to bring this about was the question -v.o of economies, not polities. He impressed up :: the convention, however, that it was not its business to select candidates or promulgate platforms, but to elect the former and promote the latter. President Tracy was applauded all through Iiis speech ard at its close. Then the preliminary business of the convention was rapidly done. Tho secretary announced that there were represented at the convention forty-six States and territories, the largest number over represented at any convention of the league. Among the delegates were a number of ladies, four from Colorado. on from New York, m 5E.V. MC ALPIN', TUE NEW PRESIDENT. two from Washington and three from Illinois, the latter representing Woman's League clul9 iu that State. The ladies from Colorado lost no opportunity to do missionary work in favor of the free coinage of silver. After the appointment of the usual committees the convention adjourned for tho day iu order to give the committees, especially that on resolutions, time to do their work. Thursday's Session. There was a lack of interest in the convention when it opened at 11 a. m. Thursday, on account of the overshadowing importance of the meeting of the committee on resolutions in session at the Hollendon Hotel. The committee on rules reported that the rulos, formulated by Thomas B. Reed were good enough for it. Resolutions being next in order. Mr. Dlaekweil, of Massachusetts, called for an indorsement of woman suffrage, which called forth loud cries of "No! No!" He then offered another resolution arraigning the Democratic party for not taking action in regard to the Armenian atrocities. Then resolutions began to pour in like rain, as fast as the clerk could read them. They provided for sympathy with Cuba, for pensions for the workingman. for free silver, and for almost everything else which conventions discuss. After indulging in bitter speeches for four hours in the consideration of the 'address to the people," a now departure was taken by Senator Patton, of Michigan, offering the following as a substitute for the report of the sub committee: Whereas. Section 13 of tbe constitution cf tho Kepublicau League of the I'nited Slates says: This ler.gue shall not In any manner endeavor to Influence the action of any national. State, county or municipal convention," the (iolegates of the Republican League of th 1'nited States, In convention assembled. d hereby renew t!i dr allegiance to the principles or the IiepiiMicin party, and pledge their best efforts for the success of the candidates of that party. Itelicving that thii convention ha no instruetl.ins from the Republicans cf the l'nited States or Ji:risli-tlon nnder our cot:tii;:tion to frame party platforms, wo hereby refer all resolution in relation to ptiMic fuetions to the Republican convention of ls:i with entire confidence that Us netion redound to the prosperity of o::r people and the continued g'ory and advancement e.f the country. Chairman Nagle of the committee on time and place reported that the members had agreed to unanimously recommend Milwaukee as the next place of meeting, the time to be fixed by the executive committee some time after that of the national conversion. John T. Kelly thanked the convention for the honor and assured them the delegates would be made welcome next year. Telegrams of regret were read from W. B. Allison; Chauucey Depew. John tlrant, James S. Clarkson. II. C. Lodge, J. S. Fasseti, K. O. Wolcott, T. H. Reed. A message was also read from (Jov. McKinley. McAlpin I. Ire fed President. George E. Green, of New York, nominated Adjutrnt General H. A. McAlpin for the presidency. The mention of Mo Alpin's name was the signal for a tremendous ovation. Cheer followed cheer. The nomination was seconded by Delegato Carr of Illinois, C. L. Notch of Indiana nnd half a dozen others. The rules were suspended nnd the election made unanimous. President McAlpin at this juncture addressed tho convention. The delegates were given a banquet bj- the local league members at night. Sparks from the Wire, The P.ritish ship Falls of Dee, bound to San Francisco from Newcastle-on-the-Tyne, is out ISO days, and considerable apprehension exists among local underwriters for her safety.
