WHITE METALLISTs AT WORK.
CONTINUED from First Pars1

New MexicO-Rev. J. d. Bush, vice pres
ident: L. Bradford Prince, resolutions.
Amid enthusiastic applause Senator Har-
RS was then named delegate-at-large from
the United States.
J. II. McDarrOw Of Tennessee. a well
known state populist leader. in an inpas-
sioned speech, demanded that the third
party men be given better representation
on the committee on resolutions. Only one
popuist, he declared, Marion Butler of
North Carolina, was now on the commit
tee The pOpulists had been assured bv
those in charge of this convention that il
they handed a list of names to the secre-
tary they would be placed on the commit
tee This list was now in the hands of the
secretary, but had not been read. Were
the third party men to be Ignored? The
convention ordered that the populists be
placed on the committee.
Alexander Delmar of California then ad-
dressed the convention.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Delmar's
speech the convention took a recess I'M
81 S O'Clock.
Senator Stewart of Nevada, presided at
to-night's session. Congressman joseph
c Sibley of Pennsylvania, addressed the
convention as follows: Il believe thar
there are going to be two parties at the
coming election. One viii be the mono
metallists and the other the American
people in their majesty. The gold stand
ard has been erected many times be-
fore. Once Aaron erected a golden
image, but it was not sue
cess, and once Nebuchadnezzer set
him up one and said whosoever refused to
bow down and worship it should straight
way be cast into a fiery furnace and
burned up.
Without meaning to make any invid-
ious comparisons, 1 respectfully refer you
to Grover Clevelands letter to Gov. Stone
refused to worship this image and Nebu-
chadnezzar ordered the furnace to be
made straightway seven times hotter and
had these men cast in, but they walked
upright amid the flames and came out
brighter and happier than ever. There
are good many ACKNOWLEDGMENT in this
world but they do not cut much of a
figure. If you will just read along little
further you will find that Nebuchadnezzar
found his level all right. For seven years
he had to eat grass. We silver people
have all the logic and all the law on our
side.
The Secretary of the Treasury spoke to
you in this hall the other day. l do not
want to quote Mr.. Carlisle when he said
that the characterization of half the money
in the world meant misery and unhappi-
hess for half the people of the world.
''Tnen John G. Carlisle was the tribune
Of the people; now he is the high priest
Of the Temple of Mammon. Mr.. Carlisle,
the plebian, and Mr. Carlisle the aristo-
crat, are two very different kinds of peO-
pie. But l do not want to complain Of Mr..
Carlisle Every word he said about the
decentralization Of silver has come true.
1T is impossible, under present conGi-
tons, for the American 8griculturist to
compete with those Of India and the Ar
gentine. You take your bushel of wheat
TO the London market and you get 80 cents
for it, When you bring Il home you have
no more. When the Indian or the farmer
frln the Argentine takes his money
home he has 100 cents. Under the present
system you are simply fostering the in
drstries of other countries. This is a
ruinous competition for you. Mr.. Carlisle
told you when he was here that the wages
Of everybody had been increased under
monometallism about 81 per cent. IT is
NOT that way in my country. Fifty thou
sand coal miners in Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia had cents ton. taken off their wages
about the day that Mr.. Carlisle spoke TO
you here in Memphis Why, they tell
you that wheat, out Of which they make
bread was lower than it ever was, and
yet more people starved TO death for the
lack OF this low priced wheat than ever
did before They tell you that cotton and
wool are cheaper than they ever were, yet
there is q greater army of traInps walking
up and down our highways and our by
ways to-day in tatters and rags for the
lack Of this same cheap cotton and wool.
'They tell the farmer east that all he
needs to make the times better Is a higher
protective tariff. In certain parts of the
west they tell him that he needs to be
prosperous is free trade. You have to
give this tariff question as a medicine ac
cording to the locality. Now, the fact of
the matter is the tariff has nothing to do
with monetary panics and its about time
ff...V ID 1ar,s f1faA md
I believe they are going TO do it. There
We're two monetary panies under high
tariff and two under a low tariff, and
think this shows the tariff has nothing
10 do with the case.
The President says he is afraid tho
silver dollar will depreciate, but the only
way the dollar can depreciate is for prices
to rise. This is the equivalent to an ad-
mission by the President that he is afraid
his case will rise. If the President would
divide his anxieties more equally between
the persons who produce the wealth of
the country and the limited few who alb
sorb it, he would make a better chief ex>
ecutive. The magnificent patriotism of
Mr.. ROthschilds who, although an alien,
was willing to come to this country and
save it for the paltry consideration of &c.,
10000, which the people of the United
States lost and which he gained, is wor-
thy of notice, as is also the magnificent
ldlIlOllSI0 OF MT. cleveland III luuS Aeip-
ing to save the country. But if two men
could save the country, they could also
wreck it.
With the minis open to the unlimited
coinage of silver and gold there will be no
more talk of the 50-cent dollar. They say
our shores would be flooded with silver if
the minis were open to free coinage. Now
that is not true. and if it were true, we
would simply give them something they
would rather have for something we would
rather have.
Banker Cornwall of Buffalo made a
speech in Chicago the other night to a
lot of bankers and the next day reporter
showed me the article and asked me what
thought of it. I told him if he would have
number of copies printed and distributed
TO all the voters in the United States,
would never make another speech on the
silver question, but would rest my case on
MS argument. He tells the bankers they
must keep their thumbs on the customers.
We have felt the thumbs of the bankers
heavily in the last few years.
We must win this fight in 1896 If we
