WASHINGTON, ID. c., May q. --At io:i5
O'Clock this morning Chairman Warner
called the Silver Convention 20 order
Short addresses we're made BY Ar.
Shinn. OF Kansas, aud Mr.. X. h.
! Thomas. OF PeunsylyaniA The latter
/ said that ten years ago bis farm was
generally regarded by his neighbors as
worth SlO. 900. aud since that time be
/ had even been more successful than his
neighborhood and had been able BY
close attention 10 business % save about
I $500 per year. This was the result on
the labor of every member OF his family.
/ Bat while he had been able 10 save
$500, his farm bad, however, depfe-
ciated In value. even more. aud the
farm that ten years ago was worth si0,-
/ 600 ia cash, could not be sold today for
more than 10000. This shrinkage ho
attributed solely TO our pernicious aFlac,
/ cial system, which was being operatcl9'
/ I'm the interest OF money lenders, cor
porations and monOpolies. The speaker
denounced both OF the leading
political parties, aud said that rather
than vote for Grover Cleveland
| (who seemed To be the logical candi-
date OF his party with his free trade
| ideas, he would vote for Queen Victoria
for President OF the United States, and
rather than vote the ticketef the hypo-
/ critical weak-kneed Republican party
he would vote for Cleveland.
| Mr.. Merrick, OF Colorado, explained
TO the convention the constitutional
question involved In the somewhat celc-
brated silver brick case, which was re-
Gently decided by the Supreme Court or
the District OF Columbia against an ap-
plicatlon for a mandamUs TO compel the

dered 10 him.
f.. d. Stark, OF Ohio. read long
! paper upon the general subject OF silver,
in which be expressed himself as hav-
ing no confidence in the proposed Inter-
national Monetary Conference. He mad
serious doubt whether the Manchester,
/ England, weavers or the Farmers ALI
ance ia America would be represented
in this proposed conference. THIS re-
mark was greeted with laughter. No.
the money power Only would be fulirr
represented. Morton ,reeland. tbe
we'll known coinage writer ur tus'tpf..
was introduced 10 the convention.
Personally, he said ho would preief
TO see the free coinage OF silver brought
about by an international agreement.
yet be had no doubt that America
could restore silver TO its old
place without the least danger OF send
[ lng gold 90 premium, aud In that event
/ he DID not believe that any silver OF
consequence would come from Europe
20 be- exchanged for gold. IIe believed
IL 20 be perfectly practicable for this
country 20 go 10 free cQlnege to-m0rr1
row. II she 20 desires. without the lead
danger 10 any OF her interests.
