Not Formed, but Pledges to bo Secured

Old Parties?An Ofilcial Statement
Given to tho Public.
Washington*, D. C., Dec. 17.?A. J
timnrneiilnnt: of the eonfarenea
of tho In-motallic leuguo wliich has beoa
in session hero for several days, to-day
gave out au explanatory statement of
the action of tho conference. Tho folloitingis
President Warner's statement:
It was unanimously agreed in tho
conference:
First?That tho monoy question is,
and will continue to be, the paramount
iisue till it is settled, and settled rightly
and on sound principles; and that it
can bo displaced by no other.
Second?That tho first battle is for
the next Congress.
Third?That to achieve rosults the
lilver men must not only stay silver
men aftor they roach CongresB, but they
must there unite and, putting silver
above party, work incessantly to accomplish
the object for which they were
olected."
A number of delegates were in favor
of organizing a new party out and out,
with the declaration as made on tho
inonoy question aa the solo isauo, and
leaving tho way open for tho alliliation
of not only the People's party, but of
the eix millions who refused to vote at
all at tho last elections, but the conference
was not called for such a purpose,
nrnl a majority of tho delegates present
believod ihe course finally agreed upon
to ho tho bettor policy in tho coininir
Congressional elections. Tho conforencfi
recommended that the bi-metnllic
league urgently suggest to friends of
silver everywhere, in all parties, that
they support for tho Fifty-fourth Congress
only such candidates as wiil pledge
themselves in nominating conventions,
and openly and publicly in their canvass
for election to tho following action
in case of their election. ,
"That thoy will ontor into no party
cnucus that will blind or restrain them
from voting and acting in tho Fiftyfourth
congress, .othorwiso than as given
in ifieir pledges 10 uio poopiu uuiuro mo
election; but that thoy will unite with
others who are.in favor of tho restoration
of tho bi-metallic standard of money
by the free and unrestricted coinago
of both gold and silver, on tho ratio
of nixteon to one, as before tho act of
1873, and tho issuo of tho general government
of tho paper currency without
tho intervention of banks and against
the issue of bonds to buy gold, and that
thoy will act and voto on all matten
during their term as member of the
Fifty-fourth congress to secure this end,
and especially in theelection of speaker
and in tho organization of the house and
tho voto for Prosidontof tho United
States in tho event if an election of a
president falls to tho house of representatives.
"Second?-That to this end tho conference
recommends thnt silver leagues bo
nuflr.'i?lin?Anri?onif?a(l nnrl tho work of
education bo carried on throughout the
country, and that in addition to thia
work thorough organization bo allected
in states and districts whore such work
will bo most offecfcive in the election of
members of Congress and state legislatures."
The following motion was alao
adopted:
"That this conference recommend
that there bo held during the present
winter two conventions, one somewhere
in tho south and one at Des
Moines, Iowa."
TIIE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Will Adjourn Thurnday Until After Now
Years?Tim Hawaiian Affair.
Washington, D. C? Doc. 17.?It is tho
present intention of the powers that bo
in Congress to adjourn for tho holiday
rec<M?s next Thursday until January 4
of tho now year. The tariff dobato
which the Democratic leaders had
hoped to ontor upon before adjournment,
cannot now begin until after tho
recess, although the bill bo roported on
Tuesday or Wodnesday. The four days
before the adjournment promise to bo
busy ones.
Alter tho urgent deficiency is disposed
tho Now Mexico statehood bill,
which is tho special order after tho
morning hour, will again come forward,
and it isoxpected that it will go through
to-morrow afternoon or Tuesday, provided
tho Democratic quorum remains
intact. If tho Republicans filibuster
and tho quorum breaks, tho house mny
bo dead-locked for tho rest of tho week,
as far aa businoss aftor tho morning
hour is concerned.
the hawaiian matter.
Tho transmission of tho Hawaiian
correspondence by tho President may
lead to so in o debate on this question in
tho open house. Much, however, will
depend upon tho nature of tho correspondence,
and the instructions given
to .Minister Willis aud tho tenor of tho
President's message. On tho highest
authority it can be stated that tho
President's meisaeo transmitting the
correspondence will show that tho administration
has dono all in its power
by tho aid of diplomacy to
fight the wrong from its standpoint
done the Hawaiian monarchy,
and that the situation is now one for
the Congress of the United Statos to
deal with. In other words, that diplomacy
has failed to restore the conditions
existing prior to tho revolution,
and Congress must now decide whether
other means are to bo employed. The
meisogo will also romovo tho last doubt
about a disagreement betweon tho
President and his secretary of state. It
will show that Mr. Cleveland and Secretary
Gresbtm have boon in porfect
accord from the first.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.?There
is already considerable interest manifested
as to what will bo tho courso of
tho eenato with reforonce to tho terri- jjf
torial bills which aro coming from tho
houso of representatives. Tho senate
territorial comuiitteo had not hold a
meeting during tho prosont Congress, (
or since tho committee was reorganized J
by tho Democrats, and there has con- j
eequently boon no formal expression of
opiuion on tho part of members upon '
the question of tho admission of the |
new states. Inquiry develops tho fact
that tho committee will probably not
tako up any of the bills for serious con- t
sideration prior to tho Christmas holidays.
Tho admission of Utah, Arizona, Now
Mexico and Oklahoma would result in ire
RftiLtini' oiirht niuv finniitorn. all of whom m
would probably be sil ver men. It is as- "
Hortod that the President has boon considoring

Within the past fow days a secret
cular on"tho matter has boon sent to
i various lodges from tho lieadquarrs
of tho Amalgampted Association in
ttsburgh.
The document bears tho dato of
icembor 13 and tbo official seal of tho
isociation. It is addressed to tho
Icors and members of subordinate
iffes. Tho text follows in full:
Brothers:?The threatened changes
tho present tariff laws aflect our inrosts
as iron and stool workers so inrionsly
as to call for active opposition
their adoption. Tho Wilson tariff
11 is to bo roportod to tho houso witha
fow days. This measure proposos
dical reductions in nearly all of tho
Dtal schedules, and in soino the most
irming cuts are made, whilo in others
is proposed to romovo tho duty en
Wo are porsuaded that should this
11 be made law vory dinaatroua consciences
will follow to the branches of
r trade affected by the changos.
We are not uniniudtul of the difficul>a
that have confronted us during sevtil
months past, nor of the disposi>n
shown by somo employers to deny
e right of organization 10 their worken,
neither do we shut out froin our
aw the natural reluctance felt by
tgo workors to join in preventing rcictiona
in tariii rates when presuma
y such reduction would bo felt sgrisly
by thoso samo employers, whose
tagonism to organizou iabor entitles
em to no consideration at labor's
tuds.
It ia indisputable that a greater oney
of protection cannot well be irnagod
than the employer who prevents
3 workmen from associating with
cb other to bettor protect their mutuinterests.
Too much of this spirit
,s been shown by omployers, but this
list not be permitted to influonco us
inactivity when such extromely danrous
legislation as the Wilson bill is
oposed.
In tlio event of the bill passing it is
re to bring the condition of our trade
n state that will prove to our diaadntago.
WHERE LABOR WII.L SUFFER.
Labor will be inndo to auflor, and it
11 bo found that that which it is osuaibly
intended to affect the moat
rioualv, viz., the profits of manufacrora
will remain but little injured,
it the losses will bo transferred to the
ouldorB of labor.
Anion*? the more serious features of
e bill is the placing on the free list of
tton ties; thia moans disaster to this
anch of our trade. The tin and sheet
dustry are objects of attack; the cut
the case of tin is such, should it bo
ma a law, an to arrest the farther
owth of this industry, and in all
obability cause the cessation of tin
iking in this country. Whon we reornber
the rapid growth and wonderI
spread of tho tin industry during
a short time it has been possible to
oduce it hero, it seems almost inedible
that it i9 proposed to stamp it
t. All products of tha mill are mora
less injuriously affected by the praised
change, and tho temptation to
asion and undervaluation hold out by
advalorem character of tho Wilson
II adds to its power for evil.
Tho many and various ways in which
is bill, if passed, would injuro our
ido cannot bo adequately stated/viththe
Bcopo of this circular.
Wo have deomad it our duty to call
is matter to the attention of our memrs
with a view to having thorn direot
eir influence against the enactment of
0 new bill.

Tho plan is to hnvo gignod protests
ainst tho Wilson bill sent to tho sonars
and representatives from every
ction whore there is an Amalgamated
Jge. Thousands of iron workers who
o debarred from membership in tho
sociatfon, by reason of tho class of
jrk they do, aro expected to join in
e protests. Messrs. Garland and Kllllon
wero considerably surprised
lien they loarnod that tho circular

talk on the matter and left the roportto
infer that thoir views wero fully ex0BS0d
in tho circular.
FACTS O.N" COTTON TIES.
Cotton tics mado at Painters' mill In
0 West End cost tbosouthern planters

e used to paclc up bales of cotton,
hen tho cotton goos to market it is
