FARMERS IN COUNCIL.
n DEMAND IN THE RIGHT DI-
RR;CTION.


The Farmer should be Protected

Ell Amongst Them, However.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. November 1.-THE
second days session Of the Farmers Con
GreSS was well attended. The former re-
port as to all States being represented
was mistake. Delegates did not arrive
from Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Mississippi and Arkansas, and
several Northern and Western States are
unrepreSented.
At the morning session Judge Law
renee. of Ohio, president of the Wool
Growers, Association, from a majority of
the committee on resolutions, reported a
resolution on the attitude OF the farmer
with regard to protection, and demand
ing that in case of the continuance of the
protective policy, all tArm products shall
be as fully protected as any article OF
manufacture.
Mr.. N.ilhite, of Missouri, presented a
minority report, pledgng the farmers OF
the United States to a reduction of the
tariff, and to a change of duties from the
necessaricS to the luXurieS OF life as far
as possible.
Both reports were lald over and will
come up for action later. Judge Law
renee offered resolutions to the effect that
the government docs not need the rcve-
nue. raised by the tax on spirits, and that
the questions be rclcgatcd To the States !;
also, tavoring the repeal of the tax on
tobacco.
Both resolutions were reported ad-
vcrsely Ivy the committee.
Hon. l.. S. Coffin, Of Iowa, delivered an
address on railroads and their relations
to the farmer. The speaker was sharply
criticised by number of delegates as
being too much in sympathy with rail
roads and corporations.
Judge Lawrence read Il paper on wool
growing and mutton producing, pointing
out the great benefit which would arise
to the whole people from increased sheep
raising, and urging protection tor this in
terest.
Judge Lawren"cS $ address was followed
by some adverse discussion. One delegate
cited an instance of an investment OF
81 OF i'll sheep which paid profit OF
over 40 per cent. in one year, which, he
said, set this industry beyond the need OF
pr rtcctive tariff.
At the afternoon session a paper was
read by John a. Scott, of Illinois, entitled
"A Word Of Encouragement to our Far
mer Boys" Another paper was read on
THE Possibilities of Agriculture in Ala
bama" by J. S. Newman, professor of ag-
riculturc in the Alabama Agricultural
and Mechanical College.
Many speeches were delivered by dele
gates from the North and West, all advo-
eating wool protection There is apros-
pect Of regular tariff fight debate to-
morrow on the minority and majority
reports of the committee on resolutions.
Hon. Jas. A. Mckenzie, of Kentucky,
will probably reply to Judge Lawrence.
The voting is by congressional represent
alton, and the delegates from Ohio, Hi
nois, Iowa, Michigan and Indiana are
practically solid tor Judge Lawrencc's re-
port. Ex-Congressman Weller, of Iowa,
is opposed to it.
The Lumber Association of Mississippi,
Florida, Alabama and Georgia met here
to-day, with large attendance. No def
mite action has yet been taken.

tuglOn Being MADE, Among
Them One which Does Away
with Sales.
New YORK, November l4.-The base
ball delegates to the League convention
worked up to such late hours last night
| that they did not get around to the hotel
very early this morning.
Three or four important changes i'll the
| constitution were effected last night and
When the convention assembled at noon
| to-day, the consideration of the constr
tuition WAS resumed. Section 35 which
reads: "Rclcasr of players from con-
tractor reservation and future contracts
with such players shall be regulated and
governed by national agreement OF
professional base ball clubs, and the
league legislation made in pursuance
thereof" was amended SO as to read
that mo player without the consent OF
the club with which he is under contract
or reservation can negotiate with any
other club for his services; but if said
consent is given, said PLAYER may nego-
tiate with any club for his services and
receive money consideration therefor,
which may be accepted by releasing the
club"
This action does away with the svs-
tenn OF sales over which there has recently
been such a cry.
Section &c, which stated that mana
ger or player whose contract has become
void by reason Of his club dishanding,
withdrawing from, or losing its mem
bership in the league, may engage for the
remainder OF the season with any other

Cern:nE DiSSensiOmS.

We insert the following communica-
ton with much pleasure. The principle
set torlh by the writer as pertaining to
the order are such as we had ALWAYS as
cribcd to it, and which had won for it
the good will and cordial cooperation
of all parties and all friends of humanity.
Such principles we hope will remain un-
affected by the demon of party spirit.
The information we had was derived
from the reports of the Chicago conven-
ton They were certainly not encourage
ing to the harmony we all hoped to be
maintained and which is essential to uni
versal usefulness:
Editor Citizen Allow me TO say in
reply to your editorial concerning the
WomanS Christian Temperance Union
that it's principles and purposes are urI-
changcablc. All the excellent work done
during these fifteen years has been done
under its present constitution which is
entirely satisfactory to the majority OF
its members. Because Mrs. Ellen Foster,
who is an ardent republican, and lcctured
i'll behalf of that party during the last
Presidential campaign, chose to introduce
a resolution which was uncallcd for, is
the National W. {. r. L. to beConSdcrcd
contentious because it would not tameIy
submit to have its wcll-cStahlished
principles called in question:
The same attempt to introduce disSen-
sion and confusion was made last year
at New York by the same gifted partisan
lady, and voted down by an overwhclm-
ing majority. And while majorities rule
it would be in better taste for these dis
satisfied ladies to stay away, Orcstablisll
an organization for themselves according
to their own ideas. W. {. 7. L.

the only way he could have it was by
iceplng his movements secret. During

SILVER ADVOCATES.
Close Of the Denver Silver Convention
Resolutions Against the Decentralization

Close Of the Denver silver ConventioA-
Resolutions Against the characterization
of Silver.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 15.-The silver
convention adjourned yesterday after
noon. A permanent organization was
formed, which will be known as the
Colorado Silver Association. Hon. S.
A. w. Tabor was made president and a
vice-president was chosen from each
county in the State.
The preamble preceding series Of
resolutions adopted states that it is the
opinion of the people that the demone-
tization of silver sixteen years ago by
this country and foreign powers was
the result of conspiracy of
the few against the many, of the
creditor class against the debtor class,
of the consumers against the pro-
ducers, of the idlers against the work
ers; that since the time mentioned the
period has been marked by constantly
declining prices of staple commodities
and of all the products of the farm and
shop and also taking from the pro-
ducers three per cent. of their gross
products; that this condition of things
has now been traced by the most
careful and reliable observers of
the world to the destruction of more
than One-half of the standard money,
thereby increasing the use of or de-
mand for gold; and that efforts to
remedy the ill-timed action have been
met with prediction of evil to the
people and to the Nation. The decla-
ratiOns are in substance that the
only remedy is to restore the coinage
system in effect prior to 1855, to re-
monetize silver and provide for it's coin.

LIVE CATTLE FOR GERMANY.

A New Departure I'm tho Beef Line-It
Might be Reasonably Successful. But Our
Western Cattle Arc Altogether Too
Frisky for the Stolid Germans, Who Like
to Take Liberties Such as q Well-Bred
American Steer Would Resent.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-James III.
Smith, commercial agent Of the United
States at Mayence, writes to the State
Department under date of November 4:
s'Very high prices for meat are at pres
ent prevailing in Germany, as reported
upon by me September %, caused in
part by the exclusion of cattle from Rus
STA and Austro-Hungary, on the ground
of infection of disease, and a firm of
well-to-do butchers at this city has been
led thereby to try the experiment of inn
porting few live oxen from the United
States, and arrangements have been
made by them for the shipment of 900
head of fat oxen to this country,
to come by six different vessels during
period of six months, one hundred and
fifty animals to come by each ship. This
is quite noteworthy transaction, be-
cause it is the first time, am informed,
that live oxen from the United States,
all ready for slaughter, have been inn
ported into Germany. About ten years
ago lean cattle, to be fattened for
slaughter by pastures in Holstein and
Oldenburg, were brought into Germany,
1 am told, but the undertaking did not
turn out satisfactorily and was aban-
doned.
''The oxen now coming to Germany are
from the State of Illinois, and the first
two patches Of them arrived last week.
The newspapers report them to be fine
10o1 1C but ~ not
ure, and their appearance in this vicini-
ty has been quite an event to the butch
ers. They are sold in the German mar
ket about ten to fifteen per cent cheap
er than German beeves, but are found
not suited to the German market, prin-
cipally because they are of a more
unmanageable nature than German
cattle, having never been accus-
toned to being led by rope,
and can not be controlled as the butchers
here desire. These butchers all do bust
ness on small scale, slaughtering as a
rule only from one to two beeves week,
one killing five to six being rare; and
the cattle they slaughter they like to
punch on the hips and scrutinize closely
before buying, and like to lead by a
rope after purchase, and all this the
American oxen strongly object to and
violently resist. and any binding of them
together is entirely out of the question
They, therefore, can not be kept long
but have to be killed as soon as possible
Il asked in what condition the ami
| mails arrived, and was informed in a
| very bad one. The voyage of the first
batch lasted three weeks, and they all
arrived in very demoralized state

age, thirteen having died on the way.
