Memphis, May 23.- The sound money
convention which met here this after
noon was a -much bigger affair in point
of attendance than the most sanguint
of its projectors had anticipated. The
auditorium, with its seating capacity ol
8,000, was overtaxed to accommodate
the crowd seeking admission. The nam-
bar of delegates was about 800, repre
senting all shades of political belief.
After organization and the appoint
ment of a committee on resolutions, the
gathering listened to'an address by Hon.
John G. Carlisle, secretary of the treas
ury. Secretary Carltsle'c Speech.
Mr. Carlisle in. the beginning said
that the proposition to revolutionize out
monetary system and thus destroy credit
of government and people at home and
abroad, violate the obligations of all
contracts, unsettle all exchangeable
values, reduce wages of labor, expel cap
ital from our country and seriously ob
struct trade of our people among them
selves and with the people of other coun
tries, is one which challenges the intel
ligence, patriotism and commercial
honor of every man to whom it is ad
dressed. No matter what may bo the
real purposes and motives of those who
make the proposition to logalize free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1
these are the consequences involved in
their scheme, and in my opinion cannoi
be avoided if adopted.
I do not charge that our fellow citi
scus wao propose co revolutionize our
monetary system realty desire to see th6
business of the country ruined or even
injured, but in my judgment the results
would be most disastrous.
The secretary reviewed at some length
the history of the use of gold and silver
as moneys, and went on to say that the

Doable Standard Impracticable.
Although we have the gold standard
in this country, our actual stock of cold
bullion and coin amounts to only about
one-third of our actual currency, a con
dition of affairs which would have been
inconceivable a few centuries ago. It
is contended by many advocates of free
coinage that the effect of their policy
would be not to abolish the nresent
standard of value and substitute the sil
ver standard m its place, but that it
would establish what they call bimetal
lism and a double standard. I confess
my inability to understand what is
meant by double standard, because I
cannot conceive how it is possible to
have two different legal measures of the
same thing at the same time.
After quoting various authorities on
the subject of bimetallism, Secretary
Carlisle said it is proposed that the
United States, without the co-operation
of any other government, shall provide
by law that all silver bullion or foreign
silver coins that may be presented at
the mints by individuals or corpora
tions, foreign or domestic, shall be
coined, at the public expense, into sil
ver dollars at the ratia of 16 to 1, with
gold, and that the coins so made shall
be delivered to those presenting
the bullion and to all the poe
ple of the United States, but
nobody else shall be compelled by law
to receive them as dollars of full value.
All who are indebted to us, therefore,
have the privilege of paying in silver,
while all to whom we become indebted
are to have the privilege of requiring us
to pay in gold.

circulation at the same time has been
made by nearly every civilized nation
and has failed in every one of them
uur cannery ib noc witnout experience
upon this subject, and the results here
were just the same as everywhere else.
All who have been or may be induced
to give their support to this revolution
ary policy upon the assurance that it
will give the country more money for
use in the transaction of business will
be greatly disappointed, for they will
find, when it is too late, that instead of
having more money, they will have less,
and that it will be depreciated in value
besides.
Effect of Free Coinage.
Free coinage would absolutely give ua
a depreciated and fluctuating currency
and the question is whether the pro
ducers of exportable articles will be ben
efitted by such a reslt. The character
or value of the use of the currency in a
country does not affect the price of an
article abroad to any extent whatever.
But if our monetary system were so
changed that it would require two dol
lars to purchase here what one dollar
will purchase now, the exchange with
foreign countries would be double, mak
ing us pay twice as much in our money
is now, while the foreigners would pay
only half as much in his .money for the
same number of dollars as he pays now.
Furthermore, the exchange would be in
a constant state of fluctuation, just as it
has been between Great Britian and In
dia, on account of the changes in the
jrrices of silver from day to day; and the
American producer would be compelled
to pay for the risk taken on account of
the fluctuations by receiving a less price
for his product.
Wages Higher Than In 1873.
The secretary then at great length re
viewed the researches of the senate com
mittee on the ccrtrrso of prices and wages
of labor for as long a period as authen
tio records would embrace. The inves
tigation covered a period of 52 years,
and embraced all the occupations in
whioh our people were engaged, and the
fact unanimously found was that, al-
tnough 18 years had elapsed since the
socalled silver legislation, the wages of
labor were higher than in 1872 or 1878.
The secretary then viewed at length
the arguments of his recent Covington
ipeech on the question of national dis
honesty in attempting to place a depre
ciated currency, etc., and in conclusion
said so far as the mere volume of our
currency is concerned we have an ample
supply for all necessary purposes, but
under the existing system it is not prop
erly distributed, aud is not sufficiently
elastic to meet all the changing require
ments of business at different periods of
the year. The United States should go
entirely out of the banking business by
the withdrawal of its arbitrary and com
pulsory issues of notes and afford the
people an opportunity to supply theii
own currency based upon their means
and credit, thus enabling every com
munity to utilize its resources when
necessary, and adjust the circulation
from time to time to the actual demands
of legitimate commerce.
Inwhat way this shall be accom
plished is a question which has already
seriously engaged the attention of the
I people and authorities, and will, nc
doubt, continue to be discussed until a
plan is formulated which, if not perfeot,
will at least have the merit of being a
great improvement upon the existing
system. In the meantime our highest
duty is to preserve the present standard
of value and keep all the money in cir
culation among the people equal in
purchasing power.
Following Secretary Carlisle's address
the convention adjourned until 8 r. m.,
when the report of the resolutions com
mittee was taken up and discussed.

Nctv York Presbytery.
Pittsbubg, May 23. The devotional
services of the Presbyterian general as
sembly at the opening of the seventh
day of its session was conducted by
Rev. Irwin M. Muldrew, a colored min
ister from Cheraw, S. C. The question
of the relation of the students of the
Union seminary to the presbytery of
New York came up on an overture from
that body. A long opinion was read
and it was recommended that the pres
bytery of New York be instructed and
enjoined not to receive students who
are pursuing, or who propose to pursue,
their studies in seminaries.
This motion was carried by a large
vote, and in announcing the result
Moderator Booth said that the New
York presbytery would note the instruc
tions given by its superior authority
and would obey its orders. The opposi
tion to this action was decided, but in
sufficient to affect the vote of the as

Oklahoma City, O. T., May 23.
Sharp at noon at least 15,000 men, with
a large number of women, made the
grand rush from all sides of the Kick
apoo reservation for the 450 odd claims
open to white settlers. In less than an
hour after there were score of contest
aqts on each of these claims in additioa
to the sooners, who had already taken
possession of the lands long coveted by
them.
The scenes at the opening were pre
cisely similar to those at previous open
ings. There was the mad rush, the wild
yelling and the mishaps more or less
serious. So far as is now known no
lives were lost in the race, but it is too
early yet to hear from the interior of
the new country.
Oklahoma City, May 23. All night
long last night the road to Sweeny's
bridge, on the edge of the Kickapoo
country, was crowded with horsemen
and vehicles. The dust was stifling as
the horses dragged through the deep
sand and stumbled over the roots of the
trees in the road. The crowd had filled
up the yard at Sweeny's bridge and ex
tended back along the road for a mile.
At Sweeny's bridge is a roadhouae
where travelers across the country stop
to feed their horses. The yard is large
and fenced in and forms a sort of
culdesac, with a narrow outlet leading
down to the bridge. The yard last night
was a solid jam of vehicles and horse
men. Men slept sitting in the seats of
their wagons, while their horses stood
up or lay on the ground on either side of
the wagon poles. There were buggies
and covered wagons, sulkies and every
kind of vehicle, including ox carts. Not
much sleep fell to the lot of the people.
Young men drank from their flasks and
sang boisteriously, dogs barked and
horses whinnied, mule3 brayed and men
called back and forth. It was a night
mare of noises. Up and down the river
the light of campfires shone through the
tree3, reddening the foliage. The wind
blew cold out of the north and it was
an uncomfortable night to be out with
out an overcoat or blankets, and many '
of the men sat all night in their shirt
sleeves or moved among the wagons.
There were fights to enliven the night.
