The morning call., 1893-10-19

autumn day greeted the school children
at the Worlds Fair, and they fairly over
ran the gate-ksepers in their eagerness to
get inside.

tendent of the Oregon exhibits at the

Thousands of Canadians and Canadian
Americans gathered at the Canadian Pa
vilion to-day to pay their respects to the
Earl and Coun tess of Aberdeen. AN ad-
dress was presented to the Earl on behalf
of the Canadians, assuring him that his
appointment as Governor General was re-
garded with the highest satisfaction. The
Earl responded a some length, expressing
his thanks for the warm greeting, and ex-
tended a cordial invitation to the guests
to meet himself and Lady Aberdeen at the
Irish village tomorrow.
Secretary of Agriculture Morton spoke
on the silver question before the National
Commission to-day. He gave the Popu-
lists touching up incidentally. Hespoke
in part as follows: ITO be sure, as your
president has intimated, underlying all
sciences and arts is agriculture, and it
has just begun to dawn upon the agricul-
tural minds that it needs individual devel-
opment and sels-reliance in each citizen
rather than gregarious organizations
which may be deputized or given power Of
attorney to think for the farmers. We all
understand that so far the Grange and AL
lance organizations have attended to some
thing else than farming. They have been
worked. to use the parlance Of the day, by
journeymen farmers who for political pur-
poses farmed the farmers. Those organi-
cations as rule have attended to every
thing except agriculture.
''The many fallacies which have been
evolved for the allurement of the farmer
are very catching. The teaching of many
of the journeymen farmers has been to the
effect that the money of the country was
simply legal fiction. That which our
people need first and foremost is an honest,
unfuctuating measure of values. If gold
Is the best money in the world then the
United States wants gold. We must have
permanent standard for debt settlement,
permanent and unfiuctuating measure of
values and medium exchange. 1t seems to
me that this great congress of all nations
illustrates fully the fact that the commerce
| of the world is products for products and
money only settles unadjusted balances" F"
hon. Patrick Walsh Of Georgia then
spoke briefly in response to Secretary
Morton. and invited the secretary to be
present at the Augusta Exposition.
The total sions to-day were 323, 941,
of which 1891 paid.
The principal event at the worlds W.
c. t. U. convention to-day was the ad-
dress by Miss Willard. which was read By
Lady Henry Somerset. Miss Willard
maintained that the white ribbon move
Went was never so strong as now.
