AOw 1t Affects the Industries 81
the Nation.
ST. LOUIS, October 1.-The Call and
Address Committee of the National Sill
yer Convention met this afternoon in
consultation with Congressman X. P.
Bland, Of Missouri, and Colonel Egan,
Of Colorado. The address as prepared
covers the silver question as it concerns
the welfare of the various industries
of the country. Particular stress is
laid upon the subject in its con-
nection with the agricultural industry
of the United States, and statistics are
given showing the manner in which the
American farmer and laborer is brought
into competition with the Hindoo labor
ers of India, the latter not only being
able to shut the American farmer out Of
the markets of Europe, but being able
also to ship even to the markets Of New
York, Chicago, st. Louis and other
American centers. The question is given
its broadcast possible scope, and is
strongly emphasized. The committee also
Fixed representation at twenty delegates
for each State and Territory, and en-
powered and requested the Governors of
the same to appoint twenty delegates
and twenty alternates. The right was
reserved for the Executive Committee to
appoint one hundred delegates-at-large
from the United States. The Finance
Committee meets Friday of this week,
and the Transportation and other COM
mittees are getting their work in hand.
