SOLID FOE SILVER. 8y nopsis of the Proceedings of the Memphis Convention. Tbu Declaration of Principle# Adopted and a Central Committee Chosen with Power to Call a National Convention. First Day. Memphis, Tenn., June IS.—Fully 1,50a delegate's were present in the hall af S:1S p. m. when President Brown of the Central Bimetallic league of Tennessee called the convention to order and introduced Judge L. H. Estes, of Memphis, who offered prayer. President Brown then called for nominations for permanent chairman, and Senator Isham G. Harris, the antebellum governor of Tennessee, received an enthusiastic reception when lie arose to present the name of Senator David Turpie, of Indiana. Mr. 'Harris said that he had no idea of making a speech; that he only wished 'tfo state in a word the purpose and Objects of the convention. It was ' called by the Central Bimetallic / league of Shelby county, a strictly VkoupaFtisan organization, composed of democrats and republicans and populists Its doors were thrown open to every American citizen who honestly 'believed in the propriety, the advisability and the necessity of the re- . ‘habilitation of silver. Their doctrine Is bimetallism, and by bimetallism 'they mean the free and unlimited coinage of all the gold and all the silver produced in the country. “They hold, as to this convention, that a democrat cau be present and participate in its deliberations without Impairing in the slightest degree his allegiance or fidelity to his party organization, and the same is true of republicans and populists., whose party fealty can not be impeached because of their open advocacy of free silver coinage.

*» c are ucre, cuuciuueu uic senu* tor, “as a band of free men, to consider this all-absorbing question which now confronts the American people. We are here to consider the coinage question, and that question only. That is the object of'"this convention, as I understand it, and as I believe it to be understood by the hundreds of delegates who are here to-dav. I beg now to present to you Hon. David Turpie, of Indiana, whom I place in nomination as your presiding “officer, than ■whom there is no truer or abler bimetallist in the United States of America. ” The distinguished senator from Indiana was warmly received. While he bears his sixty-eight j-ears lightly, his voice was rather weak for the large hall, and he showed that the warm weather made the task of delivering an elaborate address before the convention a difficult one. After Senator Turpie had been elected by acclamation he assumed the chair and addressed the convention. The convention then completed its permanent organization by the election, by acclamation, of B. Wade, of Tennessee, reading clerk of the house ©f representatives, to act as secretary. Mr. Wade was nominated by Gov. IiOwryof Mississippi Senator Jones, of Arkansas, moved the appointment of a committee on resolutions*, to be composed of one delegate from each state represented. The motion carried, after it had been amended, at the suggestion of J udge John W. Tomlinson, of Birmingham, Ala., so as to provide that on roll-call each state should present the name of a member of its delegation to act as vice-president of the convention and one member to represent it on the committee) on resolutions. The roll-call resulted in the naming of the following vice- presidents: State Treasurer Craig Smith of Alabama; Senator J. H. Berry, of Arkansas; Alex. Delmar, of California; J. B. Bush, of New Mtekico; B. F. Weaver, of Virginia; A. P. Blackwell, of Texas; Wm. B. Bate, of Tennessee; Gov. John C. Evans, of South Carolina; Congressman Jos. C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania; F. E. Brown, of Nebraska; Gen. A. J. Warner, of Ohio; G. F. Key, of North Carolina; Senator William M. Stewart, of Nevada; William F. Smith, of Missouri; Paul A. Dews, of Montana; W. C. Yerger, of Mississippi; M. J. Cuhninghaim, of Louisiana; J. R. Reynolds. of Kentucky; Anson Walcott, of Indiana; W. A. Ilidell, of Georgia, and Alva Adams, of Colorado. The following eoannittee on resolutions was named:

Tillman, of South Carolina; Jos. C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania; William H. Bryan, of Nebraska, and A. J. Warner, of Ohio. Upon the motion of a Mississippi delegate. Senator Harris was nominated, as “The Old Wheel Horse of Free Coinage,M to be a member of the committee on resolutions for the United States at large, and was elected with great enthusiasm. Judge J. H. McDowell, of Tennessee, arose to ask recognition for the populists on the committee on resolutions. The judge, it appears, bears some resemblance to Peffer, of Kansas, and the most striking characteristics of bis style of oratory and his gesticulations. He carried his point without difficulty, and it was agreed that he be Empowered to present the names of delegates, who were added to the committee on resolutions, as representatives of the people’s party. Ex-Gov. L. Bradford Prince of New Mexico, in explanation of the fact that

ft number of western and northwester* states .had failed to respond to the roll* call, said that but a few weeks a pro the representatives of every one of those states bad attended a silver convention at Salt Lake city, at which a committee had been appointed to represent them, collectively, at the Memphis convention. The absence of delegates from individual states should not be const rued to indicate any lack of interest in the free-silver movement or of sympathy with the Memphis convention. The south and the west were fehand in hand in this campaign, and must stand together. The next speaker introduced was Alexander Delmar, the well-known writer on the coinage question and a member of the silver commission of 1886. At the evening session, which began promptly at 8 o’clock. Senator William M. Stewart, of Nevada, presided, and introduced Congressman Joseph C. Sibley. of Pennsylvania. Mr. Sibley expounded the four political principles, which, he said, contained the result of his stpdy of the money question. They were: “First—Double the volume of money and you double prices. “Second—Divide the volume of money and you divide prices. “Third—Double the ‘volume of money and you divide the debts. “Fourth—Divide the volume of money and you double the debts.” At the conclusion of Mr. Sibley’s speech there were persistent calls for Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, but that gentleman evidently desired a more favorable opportunity and more time in which to deliver his views upon the silver question, for he declined to respond. Then, upon invitation of the convention, Mr. Charles S. Thomas, of Denver, occupied the remainder of the time of the evening session.

Second Uay. MBMPins,Tenn., June 13.—At 10:05 Rev. Dr. Brooks, of Memphis, opened t he convention with prayer, after which the arrival of delegates from Arizona and one from Arkansas was announced. Chairman Turpie then announced that the committee on resolutions was not ready to report, and introduced Senator William M. Stewart, of Neyada, who addressed the convention. Senator Stewart said: The object lessons of the last three years show that the American people are face to face with concentrated capital, the enemy which destroyed all previous civilizations. A shrinking1 volume of money as compared with population and business produces falling prices, paralyzes industry and compels the prbdncers of wealth to pawn their property to continue the struggle against impending fate. Four-fifths of the American people, yea, nine-tenths, have been at heart in favor of restoring silver ever since the crime of 1873 was discovered, but the gold combination has seized every avenue of communication. Four thousand national banks are its agents; five thousand other banks and trust companies do its bidding. The people have at last taken this matter into their 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 it accomplished without doing it themselves are enemies and can not be trusted. No man is a bimetalist who does not advocate bi-metallism as it existed for thousands of years before Sherman visited England in 1867, jy^d before he carried out the purpose of an English syndicate to strike down silver in 1873. The democracy of Illinois has broken the ice. The rank aud file of the republican party south and west are sullen and angry, but the manipulators are still in control. The republican convention of Kentucky renewed the allegiance of the party of that state to the alien gold syndicate, but the ties of party are not strong enough to hold the republicans of the great northwest in liiie. The south and west and the producing classes of all sections have a common interest in restoring the money' of the constitution and regaining control of the government of tire United States. When Senator Stewart had finished his spe ech Secretary Wade read a telegram from Congressman Benton McMillan, of Tennessee, in which he expressed regret that personal business prevented liis attendance upon the convention, and added:

: redemption money would be a calarni ity to mankind. While bimetallism by international agreement is much to be desired, it is useless to expect England to make any agreement. To expeet her to concede bimetallism now is as idle as it would have been for our forefathers to rely on her doing them justice without a light in 1776.” At this juncture loud cries were made for Congressman Money, one of the silver leaders of Mississippi. He advanced to the front of the stage, and prefaced his remarks by saying: “I am here,” a silver man from head to foot, and a democrat all over.” Mr. Money was suffering from a sore throat, and spoke but a few moments, deprecating any attempt to settle the silver question outside the democratic party. ‘'Private” John Allen, of Mississippi, was the next called by the audience to speak. He began: “I, like the poor, am always with you.” He advanced no new arguments, but caught the crowd, throwing a verbal bouquet at Senator Stewart, and reminding the people that the west was this friend of the south. The speaker elicited rounds of applause when he said that the fight should not be taken out of the democratic party. He said that the gold mesn were threatening the people with disruption of the democratic party, and he invited the republicans to come into the democratic party and fill up the ranks left vacant by deserters, who went to the republican party. Mr. Allen kept the audienqe laugh

log1 for tbont fifteen minutes, and at the conclusion of his remarks the convention took a recess until 2:30 o’clock. AFTEUXOON' SESSION. Immediately after the convention was called to order for the afternoon session Senator J. K. Jones, of Arkansas, as chairman, presented the report of the committee on resolutions, which he read. The reading1 of the resolutions was frequently interrupted by tumultuous applause, and they were adopted with a hurrah, without discussion. Keport of the Committee oh Keeolntiooe Adopted. The report made by the committee on resolutions and adopted by the convention follows: Silver and gold coin have to all age3 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 one money constitutes the most stable standard of values, and that the full amount of both metajgi is necessary as a medium of exchange. The memonetization of either of these historic money metals means an appreciation of the va‘ le of money, a fall in the prices of commodities. os diminution of the results of legitimate business, the increase In the burden of debts, a withdrawal of money from the channels of trade and industry, where it no longer yields a safe and sure return, and its idle accumulation in the banks and in the great money centers of the country. There is no health or soundness in a financial system under which a hoarded dollar is productive of increase to its possessors, while an invested dollar yields a constantlydiminishing return, and under which fortunes are made by the; Accretions of'tdle 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 a 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 bimetallists’ standard of silver and gold has behind it the experience of ages, and has been tested and approved by the enlightened and deliberate judgment of mankind. The gold standard is a departure from the established policy of the civilized world, with nothing to commend it but twenty-two years of depression and disaster to the people and extraordinary accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few. '

■mere are some races oearmg on mis question, recognized and admitted by all candid men, whether advocates of bimetallism or of the single gold standard. Among these is the fact that the very year that marked the change from the bimetallic to single gold standard is the very year that marked the change from a condition of rising prices, large profits, general contentment and great prosperity to a condition of falling prices, diminishing profits, insecurity of investments, unemployed labor and a heavy depression in all branches of trade and industry. It is not a matter of dispute, even among the honest advocates of the gold standard. tnat general prosperity came to, an end with a destruction of the bimetallic system, and that hard times, falling prices, idle workingmen and widespread depression came in with the gold standard and prevails to-day wherever the gold standard has been adopted. CACSE OF DEPRESSION. Every international monetary conference that has been called, everv demand in this country and in Europe for an international agreement to establish the bimetalio standard, is a confession that the demonetization oif silver was a blunder, if not a crime; that its consequences have been disastrous, and that the conditions that it has wrought are full of menace and of peril. The logic of facts establishes beyond intelligent question that the destruction of silver as primary money by a conspiracy of self-interests is the cause of the wide depression and suffering that began with the gold standard. There can be no restoration of prosperity, nor permanent relief from prevailing conditions, until the great cause has been removed by a complete restoration of silver to its proper place as a money metal, equal with gold. We believe in a money of stable value We believe least of all in an appreciating standard. It is only through the practical operation of ■bimetallism that a stable standard of value can be secured. A standard constituted of money constantly increasing in value is not a sound nor a stable standard, but a constantly changing standard. The effect of gold monometallism is to establish one standard for the creditor and another for the debtor, and there can be no more dishonest monetary system than that which gives short measure to the borrower and long measure to the lender. Under the policy prevailing preceding 1873 there can be no violent change in the relative value of the two metals, for a rise in the value of one metal is counteracted by a .decreased demand and a fall in value by the other. Under the operations of this beneficient law and established relation was maintained between them, in spite of most extreme changes in relative productions. From the earliest period of our history up to 1873 the right of the debtor to choose whether he should pay his debts in silver or gold coin was always recognized. The subsequent policy has been to transfer his right to the collector, thus tending to constantly increase the value of the dearer metal and destroy the parity between them. Believing that it is absolutely necessary to reverse this iniquitous and ruinous policy, we therefore, resolve: DEMAND SILVER'S RESTORATION. “That we favor the immediate restoration of silver to its former place as a full legal-tender standard money, equal with gold, and the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the ratiaqf 16 to 1 and upon terms of exact 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 consent of foreign creditors, but should themselves proceed to reverse the grinding process that is delaying the prosperity of the people, and should lead by their example the nations of the earth.” fTKo♦ tKo wi1c rvt Iho l w TVAAnlo tn.

terests of labor and the prosperity of American industry have a higher claim on the consideration of the people's lawmakers than the greed of foreign 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 or surrender. This reserved right is a part of every'bond, of every contract and of every obligation. No creditor or claimant can set up a right that can take precedence over a nation’s obligations to promote the welfare of the masses 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 policy that now prevails the land is filled with idle and discontented workmen and an ever-growing army of tramps—men whom lack of work and opportunity have made outcasts and beggars. At the other end we find that a few thousand families own one-half the wealth of the country. The centralization of wealth has gone hand in hand with the spread of poverty. The pauper and the plutocrat are twin children of the same vioious and unholy system. The system is full of menace to the liberties of the people and the life of the republic. The issue is enfranchisement and servitude. Whatever the power of money can do by debauchery and corruption to maintain its grasp on the lawmaking power will be done. We, therefore, appeal to the plain people of the land, with perfect confidence in their patriotism? and intelligence, to arouse themselves to k full sense of the peril that confronts them and defend the citadel of their liber Aes with a vigilance that shall neither slumber nor sleep. The following resolution was also presented and adopted: * Resolved, That a committee, composed ©V one member from each state.be appointed by the delegates thereof in this convention, whoso.

intr tt shall be to correspond with the rewe scatatives and advocates of bimetallism and the bimetallic societies in the different sections of the Union, and advise measures to advance the cause throughout the country. This com* mittee shall have power to call a national conference dt bimetallists whenever, in the opinion of the committee, the cause of bimetallism ran be advanced thereby Said committee shall have p6»er to dll all vacancies. ! Senator Harris then presented letters from Senators John T. Morgan, of Alabama; Pugh, of Alabama, and Jones, of Nevada, indorsing the convention, and containing words of encouragement for the advocates of the free coinage of silver. In response to repeated calls from the audience. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, advanced to the front of the stage. “I had no idea, gentlemen,” said he, %f making a speech. The resolutions jnst presented contain my vieiys on this subject as tersely and forcibly as they could be expressed m words. I believe that the people of the country will digest this great question before the next national election and find the fallacies of the arguments of the gentlemen on the other side. “In this campaign of education the bloated plutocrats will find that they are the pupils and we are the teachers, instead of they being the teachers and we the pupils, as they claim. There never has been a time .in the history, of the world when the nations were as much interested in a question as they are in this one. Hard times do not exist in America along. They exist in every country where gold is the measure of value. This shows what the root of the evil is. “They talk of Mexicanizing this country. Why, Mexico is paying better wages and is more prosperous than ever before. In conclusion, I will say that I believe that there is no hope for the return of national prosperity to this country until this question is settled, and settled by the rehabilitation of silver as a money.” The convention was further addressed in succession by ex-Gov. Prince of New Mexico; Senator Tillman, of South Carolina; Gov. Adams, of Colorado, and Senator Butler, of North Carolina. At the close of the latter's remarks the convention took a recess until evening.

EVENING SESSION. Congressman Bankhead, of Alabama, presided at the evening1 session. He introduced Gen. A. J. Warner, of Ohio, who declared that any man who says that silver was demonetized with the fall knowledge of the people of the United States simply lies. “Yon can disentomb all the traitors whose lives are written in history and all can give a better reason for their traitorous ends than can the senator from Ohio give for his action on the financial question.” « He insisted that the silver question was the most important one before the public, and that free coinage must be carried, whether within party lines or not, but he asked no one to leave his party. He said that lie had no doubt that Sherman and Cleveland would vote the same ticket next year. Wm. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, the next speaker, in the course of his remarks, said: "Populists will not envy you republicans when you follow the famous motto of your martyred president, ‘Government of the people, for the people and by the people,’ and win victories for truth. “They will not envy you democrats any victories won for trnth, if you follow the rules laid down by Jefferson and Jackson. Republicans and democrats will not envy you populists, who are made up of the two mother parties, and honor alike Lincoln, Jefferson and Jackson,if you win victories for truth.” Most of Mr. Bryan’s speech was devoted to answering Mr. Carlisle’s recent Memphis speech. State Senator Anson Walcott, of Indiana, was the' last speaker of the evening. • The following national committee was appointed to call a national convention, in its discretion. Alabama—John W. Tomlinson. Arkansas—Charles Coffin. ' California—Alex. Del mar. Coioiado—A. W. Rucker. Georgia—N. W. Longley. Kentucky—J. A. Parker. Louisiana—Senator Blanchard. Missouri—J. C. Gage. Nevada—C. S.

Brandon. New Mexico—M. B. Prince. Utah—E. J. Kimball. The committee elected John R. Godwin, of Tennessee, as chairman. It will meet in Chicago during July to perfect a permanent organization. The convention then adjourned sina die.

FARM AND GARDEN. THE RYELAND SHEEP. A Breed BTIhmm* Htalorj Com Beck Mu) HunUrv.U of Yeora. There is not. another breed of sheep In England that can trace its history and origin so far back, or whose value to the sheep industry has been so continuous and sharply defined for so many centuries as the Ryeland. The accompanying- illustration of a Ryeland ewe suggests the origin of the | breed, as there is considerable resemblance between her and the Merino ewe. This, with the peculiar character ! of the wool, leads, according to William Youatt. to the suspicion that the Rye land breed may be of foreign extraction. The Merino breed in Spain was one of those valuable gifts with which the Homans were accustomed to | propitiate and enrich the people whom they conquered; they were never satisfied until they had effected both the introduction of sheep and the establishment of manufactures. It is a historical fact that ten years after the invasion of Britain by the Romans, in the year f*5 B. C., the victors established a woolen factory at Winchester, and such was the character of the fabrics that they were in great estimation at Rome. It is easy to believe that these fine-wool sheep were already in the country, but it is possible that they were a benefaction from the conquerors 1960 years ago. It is believed by BishofF that the Herefordshire sheep, now called the Ry eland, were the wool-bearing sheep* of England that gave such value and interest to the wool industry of Eng

TYPICAL KYELAND EWE. laud in the year 1343. It was recorded by the earliest writers that the Ryelands stood at the head of the shortwooled breeds. Mr. Herbert, who has studied the subject, is of *the opinion that th*- Ryelands extended through England from the Thames to the Tyne, and even intimates that the Cotswold were produced by a cross of the Ryeland with some heavy sheep. The counties of Hereford. Shropshire, Staffordshire and Oxford sheep were only varieties of the Ryeland breed. It was the work of -years, but in the evolutions of the sheep industv, a potential factor in good husbandry, the Ryelands were gradually forced to give place to a heavier, earlier-maturing sheep until conditions were reached * that the heavier sheep could not supplant them. Until this time they were known as Hereford sheep; but when they were confined mainly to the southern part of the country, where it wais the custom to sow great quantities of rye, and to pasture flocks thereon in the winter season, they received their significant name Ryeland. That there were two breeds of Hereford sheep we are led to infer from the writings of William Ellis in 1747, for he. shows there was “a dark-faced sheep, that was much i sought for by graziers and feeders in Hertfordshire,” where he lived, and in other .counties which were then regarded as feeding sections of England. Youatt describes the true Ryeland as a small sheep, seldom exceeding more than fourteen to sixteen pounds to the quarter in the wethers, or than ten to thirteen in the ewe. They have white faces and are polled, the tyvool growing close to and sometimes Icovering the eyes. The legs are small and clean, the bone altogether light, the carcass sound aud compact and peculiarly developed on the loins and haunches. The Ryeland has that form which at once bespeaks it to be patient of hunger and capable of thriving on scanty fare. It scarcely admits of a doubt that old Ryelands would endure privations of food better than any other breed. Sir Joseph Banks, who was well acquainted with their constitution and habits, used to say that the Ryelands deserved a niche in the temple of famine. The weight of fleece rarely exceeded two pounds, but it possessed a degree of fineness unequaled by any other British breed. It was finer than the Southdown of one hundred years ago, but not so tine as the Saxony. The Ryeland mutton was alwa3*s spoken of as of the best quality. The sheep was at its best at five or six years old.—Orange Judd Farmer. _

Ureen food Tor tn« mock. Green food all through the summer and fall months can be obtained with good grass, rye, clover, roots and other crops planted on rich soil. The food value of all these products needs no demonstration. But a great mistake many growers make is to starve the animals by giving them very little or no grain! Good growing animals need grain, evfcn in the summer, when green food is sol'abundant, and it is mistake^ economy to deny them this. The dairy man finds this out when he tries to sell his cream and butter and the beef and pork packers when they calculate up the cost of raising every pound. Grain is an essential food for cattle summer and winter.' . Starting a Balky Horse. An officer of the police detail said re sently: “When I was a mounted policeman I learned of a most humane and kind method of curing a balky horse. It not only never fails, but it does not give the slightest pain to the animal. When the horse refuses to go take the front foot at the fetlock, and bend the leg at the knee joint. Hold it thus for three minutes, and let it down, and the horse will go. The only way in which I can account for this effective mastery of the horse is that he can think of only one thing at a time, and having made up his mind not to go, my theory is that the bending of the leg takes his mind from the original thought.”—Farm and Field.
