A Silver Ticket-Teller and Polk.


WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2s.-Over zoo dele
gates, representing a majority of the states
Of the union, but more largely coming fro1
the silver producing states, assembled in
Concordla hall in response to the call of the
national silver committee appointed by the
first national silver convention, held in St
Louis in November, 1889.
The convention was called to order by
Congressman A. J. Warner, while Lee Gran
dali. of this city, officiated as temporary Sec
rotary. The convention has been called by
the executive committee in question in the
belief that an exigency has arisen which calls
for the early consideration and united action
of all friends of bi-metalism. One OF its OBJ
jects is the formation of national bi-metal-
lie association or league, for the better pro-
motion of free bi-metallic coinage in the
United States.
This action has been impelled by the opin-
ion on the part of the silver men that it ID
the manifest determination to suppress the
silver issue for another decade, and, ii posi-
BILE, by Transforming existing debts into gold
obligations, to faSten forever the single gold
standard upon the country.
Amongst those in attendance upon the
congress are representatives of the knights
of Labor, of the Patrons of Industry, the
state oranges and the farmers alliance Or
ganization. The Iowa delegates will submit
resolutions favoring the free coinage OF sill
yer, censuring the nine congressman OF Iowa
in voting against the Bland bill. and applaud
ing the affirmative votes of Congressman
White of the Sixth district, and Butler of the
Fourth.
The delegates from Denver say that there
IL a solid limo of non-partisan silver clubs ex-
tending from Mexico on the south to Puget
Sound on the north, while the representatives
of Nevada declare that 80 per cent of its
voters, irrespective of party, are pledged to
free silver. 1t is given out that committee
will be appointed to urge upon the republican
and democratic national conventions the de-
STABILITY of incorporating in their platform
Il free coinage plank. According to the pro-
gramme, however, if efforts in this direction
fail, one of two movements will be open.
either the silver men will rally to the support
of the third party ticket, to be nominated at
Omaha on July 4th, or a silver convention
will be called, at which Senator Teller will
be nominated for president and Colonel L.
L. Polk, of the farmers alliance. for vice
president on platform containing but SIM
gle plank, and which will provide for the
free and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver.
Those who favor this programme are au-
thorized to say that Senator Teller will &C
cept the nomination upon a strictly financial
platform, provided that the nominees OF
the republican or democratic conventions are
men unfavorable to free coinage.

Americas Exports and Imports.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2s.-During the
twelve months ending April 30, 1892, the ex-
ports of merchandise from the United States
attained the remarkable and unprecedented
value of SOL, 5O5, 279, far surprising the
aggregate value of exports in any prior twelve
months in the history OF American commerce.
The immense increase will be better appre-
GATED when compared with the value of ex-
ports of corresponding prior periods:

1t will be observed that the value of the ex.

ports of merchandise for the six preceding
years by the large sum of $251, SO3, 80.
The value of the imports during the. twelve

By cohpafing exports of Eerchapdise With

Of the United States of SIS, .O6, 5H.
The increase of exports Of the United Slater

1882, was 1a0e per cent. It is learned from
British authorities that there was a decrease

this time from financial reports received
from abroad that of the leading nations in the
