Palmer and Buckncr Address Dig
Audience IN Baltimore. -.
Baltimore, Md, Sept. 26.-Gens. John
NJ. Palmer and Simon B. Buckner, can
didates Of the national democracy for
president and vice president, addressed
an audience of about 1000 persons in
this city Friday evening. Gen. Palmer
stated in his remarks that he had no ex-
pectation of being elected. In fact In
the preface of the declaration of prin-
ciples adopted by the indianapolis con-
avention it did not assert that the con-
vention had any such expectations. II
said. 5siAt
lt This convention has assembled to up
hold the principles upon which DEPEND
the honor and welfare OF the American peo-
pie, In order that democrats throughout The
union may unite their patriotic efforts to
avert disaster to this country, and ruin
to their party 1t was In the face Of that
distinct official utterance that I accepted
the nomination that was kindly offered to
me-"
Gen. Palmer said that in its pledge
to the free coinage of silver the Chicago
convention invoked not only the judg-
ment, but the imagination Of the Amer
lean people. 1t was believed early in
the canvass by many honest men that IL
would be possible by the adoption of the
measure for the free coinage Of silver
to give to the silver coin Of 4121h grains
full legal amount Of value. That be-
lief, he said, has yielded to the better
understanding of the question. He re-
jccted Mr.. Bryan's alleged belief that
the adoption of the free coinage of silver
by the United States alone would ad.
vance silver to an equality in value with
gold, and asserted that there was no
foundation for the assumption. After
congratulating Mr.. Bryan and his sup
porters on their unparalleled boldness
in making certain Outrageous claims,'
Gen. Palmer added that it is astonish.

ence such propositions should be en-.
tertained by sane men. He said the
United States must continue to inforce
its own laws by its own methods. The
credit of the United States and Of the
several states must be maintained; the
people must not be invited to repudia.
ton. No more monstrous proposition
was ever made than the one inviting
the United States to abandon her trade
relations with Great Britain, Germany,
France and other good countries, and
take refuge with Greasers and Chinese.

ner was introduced. The scene was
dramatic. The border line audience
gave the Kentuckian special welcome
and the cheers were intermingled with
the rebel yell. The general discussed
the financial question.

Novel Plan Adopted by the Arkansas
PopuIist Committee.
Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 2G.-The pop
ulist state central committee of Ar
kansas has made an assessment of five
cents upon each man who voted for
Barker for governor in 1894. Barker
received 24,541 votes, and if each one of
the number contributes q nickel the
Arkansas populist campaign fund will
amount to $1,227.o5. The object of this
fund is to push the interest of the Bryan
and Watson electors in this state, and if
the assessment had been made on the
basis of the votes cast for Files in 1896,
the number being $4,000, the accruing
campaign fund would be but $69e.50,
even If all paid.

A STEP FORWARD.
A Distinct improvement Is shown In
Business Circles.


New York, Sept. 26.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
IA very moderate and yet distinct i'm
proVement Is SEEM no longer one in the
buying OF materials, which continues and
stiffens prices. but also in orders for prod
ucts OF some industries in money mar
kets, and in exports Of staples. It Is as
yet little more than a step toward better
things, but has already started some i'm
portant works and prompted few con-
siderable contracts. While the gain in
working force is not great. 1t seems clear
that for the first time in many months
there Is some net gain.
An important change is the general ad-
vance In produce markets. especially in
wheat. which rose sharply on Thursday
and Friday. closing 5h cents higher for the
week. Reports of crops abroad were sup
posed to be the chief cause. as visible sup
plies In this country increased largely,
but for the first time since July l. western
receipts fell below those Of the same week
last year. If there should be an unusual
foreign demand 1t would make great
difference with future business.
Cotton advanced an eighth week ago
but lost three-sixteenths, and with full re-
ceipts might have gone farther but for re-
sumption of work by several important
mills. Much less than the full capacity of
mills Is working, and the demand for goods

show confidence that more goods will be
wanted when the future is more clear.

5000 tons of steel for three new battle
SHIPS, for one large building here and for
