SOITN I) MOX EY CONTENTION.
Jreat Clatlicring; of tlie Friends
of Sound Currency The
Platform in Full.
The ; convention in favor of pound
money and betttr hanking facilities,
which was held in Memphis Thursday
of last week, was a notable gathering.
The attendance was large and waa com
posed of prominent men from the farm
ami counting house. By the time the"
hour for the sjie.iking arrived the au
ditorium with its immense Besjting ca
pacity was well titled. Mr. V. J.
(.'raw-lord, chairman of the committee
of arrangements, called the conven
tion to order at two o'clock. The work
of organizing waa promptly put
through. Gen. T. C. Catching?, of
Mississippi, was unanimously elected
permanent chairman of the conven
tion and Mr. (Jr. (J. Matthews secretary.
A committee on resolutions was then
. selected, one far each Slate repre-
. ; ."-ft ,f thJS,"meu tion. The con
vention, after the organization was
completed, was addressed by Secretary
John Cj. Carlisle.
The Secretary received a perfect
ovation and his speech was addressed
to the reason of his audience, and was
the effort of a statesman and not of a
politician.
At the conclusion of the speech there
were loud calls for Col. Patterson, but
he declined to speak. It was then
moved and carried that the conven
tion adjourn until eight o'clock. When
the convention re-assembled the com
mittee on resolutions was not ready
; to report and the following resolution
' -as offere 1:
Resolved, That in order to promul
gate fully and freely the principles of
sound money so ably set forth by Hon.
John G. Carlisle in his speech before
the convention this day, we hereby
recommend that the local committee
arrange for printing same in pamphlet
form.
Resolved further. That we pledge
the various organizations we represent
to contribute toward' the expense of
above, in proportion to the number of
copies desired by each for free con;
Iribulion.

K.'A l
' ,'Jj certain
sessary to the ag-
iard oiW.'Hue necessary
cultural, commercial and industrial
"development and prosperity of our
common country, we favor the main
tenance of all our money, whether
gold, silver or paper, on a parity to
the. end that each dollar, whatever
may be its composition, shall have
equal purchasing and debt-paying
power with every other dollar.
2. Profiting by the experience of
Washington, Jefferson and . Hamilton,
and the teachings of the great students
ot" monetary science from the time
when John Locke wrote to the discus
sion of the present day, , we accept the
truth of the principles now universally
recognized and applied in Uncommer
cial world, that the bimetallic stand
ard cannot be maintained where the
ratio fixed by law for the free coiuage
of gold and silver does not correspond
with the market ratio of the two met
al); and that wherever and whenever
iho logal or coiuage ratio varies from
the narket or commercial ratio to any
appreciable extent, the dollar, whether
ot gold or silver, which thereby be
comes more valuable as bullion than as
money, will go to a premium and re
tire trom circulation. We saw this
principle applied in our own national
exnenetire waen. unuer tne aci,
i i
of
17!)2, which fixed the coinage ratio at
15 to 1, gold retired from circulation
because ot a slight decline in the price
-of silver in the open market, whereby
the Dulliou jn a gold dollar became
M-ortli'a few cents more than the bul
lion in a silver dollar, and was there
Jore sold as a commodity because it
m3 worth more as bullion than money
and again, under the act of 1&34,
which fixed the ratio at 16 to 1, when
the silver coin retired for a like rea
son. We are therefore opposed to the
free, unlimited and independent coin
age of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1,
when the market or commercial ratio
is more than to 1, and the differ
vice between the bullion value of a
gold and a siiver dollar is about fifty
ents, on the ground that such action
instead of restoring the bimetallic
Btardard, would inevitably result in
silver monometallism.
8. At this time there' is no country
wihgjvorld which maintains the bi
,nc.tilr. standard, and neither is there
any country where the free coinage of
silver ohtains wmcu i
Ija-is. Jvch country, on account ot
he inability to adopt independently
any bimetallic standard, must elect
fur itself which it prefers, the gold or
t,e silver standard. We therefore
favor; in the absence of international
co-operation, the retention and main
onnc of the existing gold standard.
Because a change from the gold to
the Klfver standard would have the ef
fect to repudiate all publiv and private
obli nations to the extent of the differ
tei ween the bullion value of the
find silver dollar.
Because whenever such change
fchnuid be seriously threatened it would
,..,,;. na immediate attempt at a - col
lection and liquidation of all debts in
anticipation of the result it would pro-
litcause eut-h transition from the
!.i to the silver basi would destroy
pwldic and private confidence, "and
v,. 54 involve the country iu such
3anie. confusion and distress that the
products of agriculture
ami the wages
3
of labor would be unremunerative;
the business of commerce would be
come unprofitable, and our people en
gaged in industrial occupations would
be thrown out of employment.
Because there is not :i progressive,
an enlightened country in the world
which has not elected gold as the pref
erable standard.
Because gold standard countries re
tain silver in their circulation oa a
parity with gold, whereas there is no
silver standard country which does or
can utilize gold as money.
Because there is not a silver coun
try on the globe where the wages of
laoor are sufficient to sustain the word
ing classes in comfort and independ
ence; and finally,
Because the high destiny of the
United States demands for the ue of
the American people that money which
experience has taught mankind to be
the bet suited for the promotion of
commerce, the development of man
ufactories, the encouragement of labor
and the ad vanceroejitof civilization.
4. We would rejoice over the adop
tion of real bimetallism, but in view of
the continued fluctuations in the price
of silver in theopen markets, we realize
it is impossible for the United States
independently to adopt a bimetallic
standard, and we deem it unwise and
hazardous to the best iuterests of its
people for this country to attempt its
establishment. We favor the policy
of this country standing in the atti
tude of readiness at all times to co
operate with the other commercial
powers in any effort they may inaug
urate locking to the adoption of true
bimetallism; but in the meantime and
until successful co-operation is insured
to maintain inyiolate its existing stand
ard of value..
5. We favor the retention as part of
our money the silver now coined, and
in order to give a wider field for the
use of silver we favor the funding of
all money other than silver and silver
certificates below the denomination ot
ten dollars into higher denominations,
so as to make our entire circulation
below the denomination often dollars,
either silver or silver certificates; and
to this end, toe secretary of the treas
ury should be authorized by law to
coin from time to time, as the people
may require them, silver dollars until
the demand of commerce for money
below the denomination of ten dollars
is at all times satisfied.
(J. We realize that our national
system wasadopted during a
:" 'ar ud that it is not adapted
J .g conditions. We therefore
.i?j4atinA.as will secure f L
' - .,bile 3y.-t3inTt banking sur- i
'"'"rT?1 safeguards as will at
'Z-.thmi them a safe, elastic
'JFicient currency for the'trans
!f' their business.
Tt'We cannot too highly commend
the unflagging courage and sturdy, pa
triotism ot President Cleveland in his
efforts to protect the national honor
and to maintain the public credit dur
ing a period of great financial distress
and under conditions which threatened
danger to both; and we congratulate
him and the entire country on the ev
idences of returning prosperity.
The above resolutions were unan
imously adopted. The following res
olutions were offered and adopted:
Be it herehy resolved, That this con
vention heartily indorses the work of
the reform committee on sound cur
rency of New York in its efforts to
to disseminate among the people liter
ature on the subject of sound money,
and approves of the efforts of that
committee through its representative,
Col John J. Garnett, to publish in
pamphlet form and disseminate such
literature.
There were loud calls fr Col. Pat
terson again, hut he only, made a few
brief remarks. The following resolu
tion was offered and adopted :
Resolved, That a committee be ap
pointed to consist of one dele'gate from
each State represented in this conven
tion, who shall superintend the dis
tribution of all proper literature that
may be subject to its control, 'and the
chairman ot the said comnfittee shall
be a delegate from the State of Ten
nessee, residing in the city of Mem
phis.
The convention then adjourned

fvavs of Trottinjr Horse Asso
ciation. One of the changes made in the by
laws of the American Association " ai
the recent congress was in section 74,
nace 2. This section now reads as-
follows: "All persons and horses thai
have heretofore been or may hereafter
be ruled off for fraud by the Ameri
can Turf Coneress, or expelled for
fraud by the National Trotting Asso
ciation or by any established trotting
association of any foreign country
outside of North America, shall here
after likewise stand disqualified from
competing on the courses of members
of this association. Provided that
the Board ot Appeals may at any
time for erood cause shown remove or
modify the same, and pending sue!
action the president may do so tempo
rarily." etc. - The object of this
amendment is to give the American
Association lunsdiction to expel or
suspend people who have been con
vieted of fraud by associations outside
this country. It is very important
that such an amendment should have
been made, so that tbe gentlemen who
have been doing rascality work abroad
can be prevented from repeating their
sharp practices at home. -Kentucky

of Shelby comes the long train of
water melon wagons in Beason, some
times as many as a hundred wagons

containing from sixty to one hundred
melons and tne nneet navored ones
offered in the market. Hurrah for

How few of the "descendants of
the pioneer settlers' recognize the fol
lowing paragraph of a little his
tory telling how the wilderness in West
Tennessee was peopled: "The poetic
vision of the Greek, in looking back
tnrougn dim antiquity when JLIioa re
sisted the thunderboldts of Agamem
non's hosts, when the Argos freighted
with- human life weighed anchor and
sailed away to the far off Colchis, the
more modern Romans ot Ferdinand

of the pioneer settlers of this country

As a "stretch of imagination" and
comparison there is an elevated intro
duction that commends "Old Times

We never pass Randolph by boat but
that we think what that old quiet
burg "might have been. For a pe
riod of sixteen years away back in the
dim past Randolph was the most flour-
L- t - . . . . f

Tennessee.' Tipton, Haywood, Fay
ette, Hardeman and Madison counties
did their forwarding and receiving of
mercnanaise at tnis point. The first
newspaper published in Tipton county
was at Randolph. Mr. Frank Lath
am was tha pioneer newspaper man of
Tipton, publishing the Recorder.
Randolph had big expectations, and
while it was making progress there
was a little hamlet at the mouth of

Congress ordered a road to be cut at
public expense from the Tillage of
Memphis to Little Rock in Arkansas
Territory, that was the entering wedge
wnicn embarrassed its progress. 00
now, when we pass that old first town
on tbe river and view the frowning

. Dear Sirs: I have been a tobacco fiend for many years, and during the past two
years have smoked fifteen to twenty cigars regularly' every day. My whole neryoos
system became aflected, until my physician told me I must give up the use of tobacco
for the time being, at least. I tried the so-called "Keely Cure." "No-To-Bac," and
various other remedies, but without success, until I accidently learned of your
"Baco-Curo." Three weeks ago today I commenced using your preparation, and to
day I consider myself completely cured; I am in perfect health, and the horrible crav
ing for tobacco, which every inveterate smoker fully appreciates, has completely left
me. I consider your "Baco-Curo" simply wonderful, and can fully recommend it.
. Your very truly, C W. Horstick.
