CHICAGO. May 1.-Nearly eight years

Appropriately enough the suggestion had
it's origin in Chicago. IL was on NO

autumnal show Of the agricultural ana

by the Memorial Art Palace. adopted

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
General Weaver Delivers an Address al
Their National Encsmpment.


MOUNT GRETNA, Pa, Aug. 23.-The
largest crowds since the opening OF the
national encampment of the Farmers
Alliance assembled today. In the main
auditorium William Bennington advo-
Gated the free coinage of silver in the
Pennsylvania Dutch language. He was
followed by J. NJ. Thompson, late lee
turer OF the Pennsylvania Farmers Al
lance.
When General Weaver, of Iowa, arose
to deliver an address this afternoon there
were probably 20,O0O people on the
grounds. He said, "the situation of to-
day was not caused by the election of a

laws and Interpreting the laws the same
as did Harrison. Such curse could
not be brought upon the coun-

This is the real cause of these hard times.
AT the close of the late war people
were comparatively free from debt. There
was more prosperity then among The
farmers north in spite of the loss of those
near and dear to them than there had
ever been since.
The reason of this prosperity and good
feeling was because there was an immense
volume of paper currency in circulation.
The financial system which contracted
the currency is responsible for the loss of
thousands of homes, innumerabfe sui

people. AS result of that crime perpe-

"silver Had Been, Was Now. and Always
Would be, One of the Money Metals
of the world''-The De-
bate Continues.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-As the close of
the debate on the financial issue in the
House draws near, it is apparent that the
silver men have been outwitted to slight
extent by revealing their forces in the
matter of allotment.
Messrs. @. W. Stone, Dalzell, Turner
and Cumming today spoke in favor OF the
repeal of the Sherman law, but not one
held that act responsible for the present
business depression.
Mr.. Covery favored the restoration OF
silver, and Mr.. Hatch. in speaking IN
favor of free coinage advocated g caucus
of Democrats OF the House and Senate to
interpret the Chicago platform, every
man of whom should pledge ''his life,
fortune and his sacred honor' to ABIDE
by the decision.
Mr.. Taylor of Tennessee, announced
himself as in favor of free coinage as the
safest position for the Repu blicans to
occupy in this emergency and to stand by
the Republican platform.
Mr.. Cannon OF Illinois, created surprise
by speaking against a repeal of the Sher-
man law. The country was in q bad con-
dition he said, but he did not think the
case had been properly diagnosed. Under
the Sherman act and Bland act there had
gone into the currency 1900, goo, coo in

He wanted both metals and he
wanted both to be kept on a parity. he
would let the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law stand until the Democratic
side of the House would meet the Repub-
lican side and would enact a measure that
would utilize all the silver in the treasury
at its commercial value. He believed this
could be done. His judgment was against
the Wilson bill and he would vote against
it. Silver has been, was now aud always
would be one of the money metals OF
the world. [Applause.l
Mr.. Walker addressed the House in ia
vor of the Wilson bill and in advocacy of
the unconditional repeal of the purehas-
ing clause.
Mr.. Mcguire spoke in opposition to the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman law
and protested against hasty action.
Mr.. Bell favored bimetallism and the
free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Hicks, while advocating the Will
son bill, attributed the present depression
to fear of Democrats tinkering with the
tariff. The House then took a recess till
O'Clock.
At the evening session of the House Mr.
Hunter (Democrat) of Illinois said he
would vote for the silver bill as an alter
native but much preferred the Bland sub
stitute.
Mr.. Dunn Democrat) of New Jersey
advocated the repeal of the purchasing
clause.
Mr.. Hall (DemocraD of Minnesota
spoke in similar vein.
Mr.. Dearmond (Democrat) of Tennes-
see paid high tribute to the patriotism
and integrity of the president, but re-
GREETED that in this instance he was unable
to follow his lead and must vote against
the Wilson bill.
Mr.. Harris Populist-Democrat) of
Kansas and Bell (Populist) of Colorado
spoke for free silver, and then the House
adjourned.

The King and the Diplomat.

OF King Monghut of Siam, father Of the
present ruler, Mrs. Leonowens tells ths
following amusing story: One night
little after II O'Clock, as he was on the
point Of going to bed like any plain
citizen OF regular habits, his majesty fell
to thinking how most accurately
to render into English the trouble-

tons. Alter puzzling over Ii

possessed with the word as with the devil
it stands for and all to no purpose, ne or

TROUBLE IN NEW YORK.

Longshoremen Attack Italian Laborers-
Three Severely Injured
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The longshore-
men strikers today assumed a threatening
attitude towards the Italians who are be-
ing used to fill their places. Richolo Ga
sado, an applicant for work, to whom the
English threat of the strikers was unin-
telligible, was roughly handled, but not
before he cleared a pathway with the
inevitable stilletto, and had led for some
distance an exciting chase In which over
200 strikers participated.
Later party of six Italians
leaving the wharf of the Clyde line were
attacked by numberof Iongshoremen.
In the general melee that followed several
were wounded by paving stones and clubs
that flew through the air. Knives were
freely used and three Italians badly hurt.

Considerable Correspondence Regarding
the Cripple Creek, Colo, Troubles.
WASHINGTON, Aug. %. = There has
been considerable correspondence con-
corning the forcible expulsion of Italian
miners from Cripple Creek, Colo, be-
tween Secretary Gresham, Governor
Waite and Baron Fava, Italian minister
at Washington, but it is likely that the
explanation offered the minister by the
state department and Governor Waite
will be satisfactory to the Italian govern
ment, and that the incident will be de-
clared closed.
After correspondence with Governor
Waite, Secretary Gresham wrote Baron
Fava that the attack was not due to race
prejudice, but to feeling against cheap
labor. When the Americans found them
selves underbid by the Italians they took
forcible measures towards securing the
ends they desired, but did so with no
feeling against unpopular workmen as
Italians. Secretary Gresham expressed
regret for the occurrence, and hoped it
would not disturb the friendly relations
between the two countries.

NEW sWINDLE ON THE FARMER.
Selling "GiIt Edged Butter Compound'
Which Is Nothing More Than Peps1n.

Selling "Gilt Edged Butter Compound"
Which Is Nothing More Than Pepsln.
A new kind of swindle has excited the
attention of the department OF agricul-
ture. Certain ingenious persons are
manufacturing for sale to farmers pro-
duct which they call ssGilt Edged Butter
Compound" or by other names equally
attractive. It is alleged that by the use
of this substance the agricultur1st can
double the quantity OF butter obtained
from single cow or any number OF ami
mails. The process is very simple. You
take q pint of fresh milk and as much Of
the compound as you can heap on a
silver dime. These you put into q
churn, together with one pound
of soft butter, and you agi-
at the end OF which it is found to be
transformed into two pounds of good but
ter. At the same time it was pretty evil
dent that the amount CT butter fat is not
increased by this method, and in the re-
sulting two pounds there can only be as
much OF it as was contained in the
original one pound, plus milk. This fact
is quite WILDLY shown by chemical
analysis Whereas good butter usually
hoIdS only 10 per cent. OF water, tne SUN
produced by the 'sgilt edge compound -
contains 30 per cent. of water. Neverthe-
less the latter looks very much like gen.
uine butter, though considerable softer.
The ssgilt edge compound' is simply
pepsin. Mixed with butter it produces an
emulsion which enable the butter to take
up an equal weight of milk without alter
ing its appearance materially. Any other
digestive ferment, such as rennet, will
accomplish the same result. The sscom-
pound" is sold at the rate of $3.50 for g
two ounce box, the actual value being
about three cents. One disadvantage of
its use is that butter manufactured in the
way described quickly spoils. 1t is an
aduiterated food product and should be
prohibited by law Washington Star.
