The meeting was called to order about 3 o'clock by Anton JCmcnt , president of the club , who made a few remarks hear ing upon the Importance of Iho present cam paign , comparing It with Iho war of the re bellion , when the stability of the nation was at Mnlco. Henry Moiro.v was Introduced as the first speaker nnd hn addressed Iho audience In iiigl ! h for about twcnly mlnules , discuss ing the effect of the frco coinage of silver on thn wnrkltigman. lu the course of his rnucrks. Mr Mat row quoted from the re port of the commlltee sent to Mexico by the lubor orKanlrallonn jif tnls country to re port on the condition of the laboring man In fht country. The principal speaker of the meeting was Han C. Duras of Wilbur , who addressed the meeting In Ilohcmlan for neatly two and one-half hours. His addresi was Intently - tently listened to by his countrymen , many of Mb Illustrations being drawn from the experience of Hohcmla , ami familiar to hU hearers. Ho was frequcnlly npplatiJcd and mailo n most favorable Impression. The llrst part of hlH address was devoted to a discussion of the tariff He recalled to the minds of his hearers the prosperity the country had enjoyed under the admlnls- tratlon ot the republican parly , when Ihe laboring man was prolccled by a larlff law- The only difference ! here-toforo exlslltnc be- Iveen HIP democrals nnd ino republicans , ho sal'l , had bri-n the question of tariff or free trade , but after trying the cffert of free trftdo , IIP fiild Iho democrats Ind concluded It waa no USP to try to delude the \oters any longer with the free trade fallacy , and thcv Ind taken up Iho frcei silver Idea. Mr. Duras dwelt at some length on the ndvantancn of a protocllvo larlff. Hpeaklng also of icclprnclly and of the high wage * ? paid the worklngman In this country under republican rule , PS compared with the wages received by laborers In Europe HRYAN LAUOILY nnsroNsiiiLn. The present depression In business was charged to the democracy , and the speaker charged that Hrjan was ono of those who had been Instrumental In bringing about the cxlatlng condition which he now proposes to remedy by giving the people free silver. The speaker then took up Ihe financial question , going Inlo minute details regarding ( ho origin of money , the fixing ot the inilo between gold nnd hlher In the earliest times and the ctuipca which had operated to bring about a chongo In the rotlo He tevMnwed the history of money In this country In n thorough manner , referred at length to Ihc "crime of 73. " and carefully explained to his hcnrcrs the causca leading up to the various changes which hnvo been made In the coinage IMVB of the country The src.aki r then explained the mcdnlng of the term "frco coinage ) of silver , " and explained that ho only people who would derive any benefit from It would bo Iho man who 1ms silver bullion to be coined Into money II was then shown that prices would Increase under free coinage , but that wages would be Blow- to follow and that the result would be that the laboring man of Ibis counlry vould be brought to the level of the laboring man of Hiiropo. In conclusion Mr Duras reid from R proclamation Issued by the King of Bohe mia Just 1 Onn jears ago. when the question of Iho money of Ihe nation was umter con- sldeiallon Iho King warned Ms subjects that such ortlon would bring ruin nnd desolation upon the country Thp people disregarded his advice , however and the speaker called to the minds of hla hearcis how- the prophecy of Ihe Icing had been fuinilcd Mr. H. Hosewatcr was loudly called for at the coi.elunlon of Mr. Dura"speech ? nd talked for a few minutes , speaking only of the rfi'ict of free cohrjge upon HIP woiklnsmon. Ho warned iho laboring men that It was ueelcss for them lo cxpecl any Incre.isj of wages under free coinage , Should Utyan bo elected the condition of the workliicmrn would bo a thoufnnd times vorsc than It Is now , .ami the counHy jvonll neo an era , of depression compared with which the present situation would be triv ial , and he- predicted that Hrjan would eventually bo compelled to adopt republican nuasaies In order to restore prosperity to Iho country.

Great Interest Is being shown among the wheelmen In the matter of local politics The mow for gcod roads , rs It Is famlliarlv termed , Is taking definite shape and meet ings nre being projected with some- very gcod results of the work already In sight. The meeting which waa called logelhcr In- foimally on last Thursday evening lo ar range for a mass meeting , met In the pai- lors ot Ihe Young Men's Christian associa tion rooms and decided to call the muss convention on Wednesday evening of thin week , October 21. "Wo are not trjlng to run Iho wheelmen Into politics , " said one ot the promoters of the meeting , "only far enough to gel whal we , as wheelmen , want What wo want Is a clean street , a btrcet as clear of un necessary encumbrances , such as old and unsueil car tracks , as possible. The wheel men don't ask an > thing but what an ordl nary citizen who walks can heartily lu dorse. I do not understand that any of the boys are trying to boost any particular candidates Wo have democrats , populists and lepubllcans pledged to help us It U the plan now to organize sufficiently so that when wo do ask auj thing that Is fair and reasonable Iho requesU will be respected Most of the candidates among those nomi nated by Ihe three political parties have indorsed the move , and we want to be In a position to effi'cluajly oppose anyone who has the hardihood to say ho will tight any reasonable requests wheelmen make Somu ficcm to think 'thai enough has been done when we get pledges of candidates to help us , I do not bellevo thai. We will have many earnest friends in office after election , and we should be In a position to back them up when they try to help us. "Aaioflu the mailers lo be considered on Wednesday evening are a platform for wheel men , so that when asked what they want they can refer their questioner to this ; the pledging of candidates for road Improve ments ; the organization of ward clubs to bo in uadluesa to make o fight , If necessary , to piotcet themselves at the polls , nnd the general aubjecl of road Improvements. it H argued that wheelmen can find plenty to do fiom now on in municipal affairs and can be made a factor In gelling the city Into shape for Ihe 1603 meet and the Transmls- slsslppi exposition.

To suhstanllalo this contention the article concludes with a table purporting to glvo the production of wheai md the average prices of that commodity and colton and Oliver during each of the last twcuty-lhree jears. which la said to havn been compiled from the records of the Department of Agriculture at Washington When the aitlclo was called to the nttcn lion of John Hyde of the Agricultural de partment , who was In charge of the agrlciil tural division of the last census , nnd Is un doubtedly the best authority on the subject of agricultural statistics In the United States , ho said "I have noticed the publication , but have been unable to nnd any foundation for the statlstlca. They nro not taken from anv publication of this department , nor me they to bn found among the records The figures alleged lo represent the average pi lees of wheat and cotton are widely nt variance , except - cept for nn occasional and apparently aicl- dental agreement , with the average prices in the New York market , as reported In the statistical abslract of the United States published by the Treasury department , and for not ono year out of the last ten do the wheat figures agree even substantially with those published In the annual statistical re port of the Now York Produce exchange. In the few Instances where the compiler has used statistics to bo found In government publications , ho has transposed them to an swer his purpose. * AS TO WORLD'S CROP. "An accurate statement of the wheat nnd cotton crops of the world shows thnt the prices of both rlso and fall with thu supply and demand and nro not directly Inllucnccd by the price of silver. For Instance , from 1873 to 1S77 the average price of an ounce of silver was SI.230 , while a bushel of wheat nvcrnged $1.055 , During the following four } cnrs the average price of silver was only $1.139 per ounce , a fall of 9,7 cents per ounce , while wheat advanced 13,3 cents per bushel and realised an average of $1.180. Again , In 1845 , when silver was worth $1.296 per ounce , middling cotton was worth only f icnts per pound In Now York and D % tenls In Now Orleans. Ycstcrdny silver was down to U3 % cents per ounce , and yet middling cotton was worth 8 % cents per pound In New York. There la n noteworthy but perfectly natural correspondence between the stock of cotton remaining on hand In IIuiopo at the close of Iho year and Iho avcrngo price In New York. In 1891 the stock carried over wa& l.Oir.OOO bales and the average pclca was 9.03 ( ents Next > car the utock remaining on hand rose lo 2 251 000 balci and the prlco fell to 7.01 cents Thn following year the gtocks fell to 1,903,000 bales nnd thu prlco rose to 8.21 Lents. Then the stocks fell slightly without Increasing the prlco , owing to the prospect of a crop of unparalluled slzxtln the United Stales , but finally In 1S95 the largest surplus over found In the world's markets brought down thn price to 0 26 cents , or S cents per tound less than It Is today , "Illustrations of the nondcpcnilcncu ot tha prices ot agricultural product ! on the price of silver could bo given Indefinitely , " ton- eluded Mr. Hydo. "You will nnd , If jou e\- amlno the statistics , that the prlco of ngrl- cultural products which are consumed at home , and do not dnpaml upon n foreign market , arc regulated } the rule of supply nml demand , n Inrgo crop being followed by n fall In prices nnd n short crop by a rlsp. in Innumerable Instnnrri the prices of those products hnvo fallen when the prlco of silver rose nnd have risen wit on silver fell. The price of wheat In the fulled Slfttes Is not governed by the amount of our own crop. Wp nre Inrgo exporters of Unit c'ronl nnd our surplus must meet HIP competition of the world nnd Its price Is governed Inigely by the price In Liverpool. Agricultural nnd commercial reports covering the eutlro period since HIP wnr nrp accessible In every community nnd It Is astonishing Hint nny- ono should hnve thp nudndly to attempt to uolslir nn untenable nrqumcnt by mntiu- fncturlng ntnllsllcs nml crcdliing them to this department.
