He said: Il have made my speech al
ready The resolutions embody all :ha.
l could say about silver. ! do not think
Il is necessary for me to trespass on your
time. I have unbounded confidence In
she people of the United States and l be-
ueve they will settle this question, and
settle it in the right way. I think they
will make no mistake. The prosperity ana
happiness of this country are inseparably
connected with the cause of silver, and /
believe there is no help for this country
until the coinage of our fathers is re-
stored

in the Businesses of the mountains silver
and gold in the proportion of 16 tons of sill

set ourselves up as knowing better than
God who made us What God has joined
together. let no man put asunder."
Ex-Gov. Tillman or South Carolina then

marks by congratulating you upon the
representative character of this gather
ing Some three of four weeks ago there
assembled in this city body called TO
teach the southern people the meaning Of
sound money. After putting in motion all
the secret agencies and the use OF illimit-
able money. and drumming up delegates
from this chamber of commerce and that
bank they assembled to tell us what was
the meaning of sound money and after
having tho people of this city, whose
loans from the banks make them sub
seryient to the banking interests, turn
out they succeeded in drumming up
large gathering, and they had the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury her to tell us the
difference between sound money now
and sound money in 1873. And, God save
them, by request of the President, they
had three cuckoos, who sold their birth
right for the mess of pottage, three con-
gressmen only; and / saw in the paper
that there was not a solitary farmer in
that party in this southland where the
proportion between the agricultural In
terests and the rest is seventy-fve farm
ers to twenty-five of all other occupations.
What is sound money? Is it that
money which requires two pounds of cot
ton, two bushels of wheat to get the same
quantity that It did few years back?
claim that such a dollar as that is a rob
berry dollar of 200 cents. They tell you
shout the 50-cent dollar. Let us fling into
their teeth the 900-cent dollar.
There was some talk in congress
last winter by Mr.. Carlisle, who
presented a BILL or a financial scheme
looking to the giving of some measure of
relief chat poor congress, that pitiful dem
ocratic congress did have the saving grace
TO reject it,, but the scheme is still on
foot (as promulgated by the bankers con-
ventiCn in BALTIMORE that they shall have
the greenback retired; that the silver GER
tifcates shall be retired; that the govern
ment shall retire from banking and that
they shall have the issuing of all the pa
per money of this country, and on a gold
standard at that
e. w. Carmack, the editor of the Mem
phs Commercial-Appeal said he believed
the prosperity of the country depended on
Tree silver. II speak" he continued, las
democrat, and I believe it will be the
destiny of the Democratic party to achieve
this triumph, l stand here TO protest
against anything that has been done in
the past or will be done in the future to
pSostitute the Democratic party to the
money power Of England. and to protest
against any effort to disorganize the party
am here, however, to work in harmony
with all parties who have the interests ct
the people a heart and wish to further the
cause of free silver. AS far as the south
Is concerned, all that is best in it IL con-
eentrated in the Democratic party"
Gov. Adams of Colorado next addressed
the convention, and then followed Marion
Butler the populst senator from North
carolina. This gathering here" he said.
Is more significant than the one at Phil
NNeipHld, at Wllen american lnueDen-
uence was formulated. Never before has
such gathering come together from all
parts of the country to declare peaceful
revolution. WIN we seize the opportuni-
" and use it to the full measure of OPP
portunity? But 1 need not ask this, and
we could not stop this revolution if We
Tried. This is not politicians movement.
and If there are any politicians trying to
get anything out of it, they will wish they
mad not. The populists have in their
platform a plank advocating the free
coinage of silver and they went before
the country last year and gained two hun
ured per cent. in votes and next time we
VIII gain four hundred per cent. l believe
N government ownership of railroads, but
DO not believe in it. so long as the Roth
sends own the government"
