marked probably by another speech
from Gladstone who will make the

like to touch on question or two which
the governments has ignored go far in

The radicals are confident thnt he will
speak from the heart concernino tho
threatened rejection of the bill bv the
lords and many liberals agree with
them that without reference to the
H0seile attitude OF the upper house
Slauseone speech must not be found
wanting at crucial point.

JOURNEYMEN FARMERS
SECRETARY MORTON SPEAKS ON
THE SILVER QUESTION.
He Gives the PopuIfsts Touching Up
and Denounoes the Grange and ALL
snce Organizations as of
No Benefit.

CHICAGO; Oct. 1S.--Secretary of Agri-
culture Morton spoke on the silver
question before the national worlds
fair commission today. He gave the
Populists touching up incidentally.
He spoke in part as follows:
"To be sure, as your president has
intimsted. underlying all sciences and
arts is agriculture. and it has juet begun
to dawn upon the agricultural minds
that it needs individual development
and self reliance in each citizen, rather
than gregarious organizations, which
may be deputized or given a power OF
attorney to think for the farmers.
"We all understand that so far the
Grange and Alliance organizations have
attended to something else than farm
ing; they have been worked. to use the
parlance OF the day, by journey men
farmers who for political purposes
farmed the farmers. These organiza-
tions. as rule, attended to everything
except agriculture. Many fallacies
which have been evolved for the allnre-
ment of the farmer are very catching.
The teaching OF many OF the journey
men farmers has been to the effect that
the money of the country is simply a
legal fiction. That what our people need
frat and foremost is an honest, unhuc-
tuating measures of values. If gold is
the best money in the world then the
United States wants gold. We mast
have permanent standard of debt set
Element, permanent and unfuctuating
measure of values and medium of ex-
change. 1t seems to me this great con-
gress of all nations illustrates fully the
fact that the commerce of the world is
the exchange of products, aud the
money only settles the unadjusted
balances"
Hon. Patrick Walsh of Georgia then
spoke briefly in response to Secretary
Morton and invited him to be present at
the Augusta exposition.

FRESNO, Oct. 1S.-At the convention
of the state Farmers alliance this
morning, the committee on resolutions
made report denouncing monopolies
of labor-saving implements and wealth
producing agencies. as being directly
responsible for over-production and
over-supply Of labor, and expressing the
opinion that the responsible persons
should either be compelled to render
back to society al their special privil-
eyes. or to care for the unemployed.
The committee also condemned the
implied threat OF the state authorities
to respond to the cries of hunger from
the unemployed with bullets, bayonets
and gatling guns, instead of bread and
work.
Another resolution submitted and
adopted condemns all projects looking
to the ceseion Of the arid lands by con-
Rress to the states and territories, al a
scheme of corporation and monopoly
agents to gain control. 1t is recon-
mended that congress provide TOR gov
ernment control Of these lands, for the
benefitof actual settlers.

Union Pacific Receivers Will Abide by

OMAHA, Oct. 18.-The rumor that the
receivers OF the Union Pacific are con-
templsting as the first step toward put
ting the property in stronger shape the
abrogation OF the contract made num-
Der of years ago between the North
western and the Union Pacific, is etren-
uously denied at headquarters. Gem
eral Passenger Agent Lomax said: 1T
is foolish to think the receivers will
abrogate a contract that is mutually
advantageous. All this talk about the
abrogation OF the contracts both prema-
ture and lily warranted by the facts in the
case. There is no possibility OF the
Northwestern completing it's line to
Ogden, thereby depriving the Union Pa
cific of the business which now comee
to it by right, as long as the contract is
in effect. The contract stipulates what
shall be done and what shall not be
done during the life of the agreement,
and building into our territory is ex-
pressly prohibited. The contract is adj
vantageous in many Ways and the talk
of abrogation is decidedly wrong"
