The M;uion Independent, (Tnd.) says: Forty years ago farmers oned a greater portion of the nation's wealth than now. Farmers owned of the wealth of the nation irt 1S50, five eight?. In 1860, less than one third. In 1870, a little . over one-third. In lSSO, a little over one fourth In 1810, less than one-fifth.

These peculiar hardships to the fanners will be tinthcr and better understood when we note the fact that while the total wealth or the nation is given a $(.5,000,000,000 in round numbers, only f 17,000.000,000 is taxed, and of this," $14 000,000,000 is charged up to the fanners. Washington, D. C. Senator Cock rell has introduced (by request of a former citizen of Missouri, now a resident of Washington) a bill "for the free and unlimited coinage of a temporarily correct silver dollar," and it was referred to the finance committee. T.he purport of the bill is to have the President designate every year the amount of silver equiva lent in market value to the g Id dollar, and to have silver dollais minted at that rate. The Omaha Tocsin. (Neb.) says: Where did the people ever get the idea that it is to their intere-t to pay tribute to railway manufacturing, bridge and other monopolies, in the way of subsidies, taxes, bonuses and other sources? Just how it pays a people to give away a part of their wealth, unless they do it on the theory that it pays to give a, reward for the return of a lost, est rayed or stolen light, as a mystery that, only a -female clairvoyant, or a Bohemian Jew, would ., tackle.

Details of the Proceedings, Scenes and Incidents. The tenth National Convention that the Republican party records in its anmls b- gan at Minneapolis, Minn., under a clou 1 strewn sky, with thunder in the air a n J un certainty in every condition. THE CONVENTION BCILDINO. Minneapolis and St. Paul had been wait ing impatiently for weeks to see the opening of the great convention, and thousands oC people from all over the Northwest had journeyed thither to enjoy the hovel spacta cle. Yet, though both cities are overrun with visitors, the arrangements at the con vention hall were almost perfect, an 1 the delegates were enabled to gather and d' their work without discomfort or interfer ence. As early as 10 o'clock the march began across the bridges of the Mississippi River to the convention hall, and an hour later the first few had swelled to a steady stream, which lasted until after the convention had been called to order. BENJAMIN nARRISOX. -The Exposition Hall, as its nam indi cates, is a tig show building or permanent exhibition place for the products o Minne sota and the two Dakotas. It is a huge Rouare wooden structure, built close to the edge of the Falls of St. Anthony in South Minneapolis, on the opposite bank of the river from Minneapolis proper, and its tall tower commands a fine view southward of the neighboring city of St. Paul. The interior of the building is plain, but spacious, tall pillars supporting a broad, flat roof which rises in the middle a dozn feet nr more into a heavv skvlizht through which the sun's rays filter down into central body of the hall. In this central portion are the seats for the 900 delegates. Oa one side of the square, court-like space iu which the seats are arranged is the platform of the President, with seats on it for perhaps 200 people, each member of the National Coin mittee having a place reserved here for his JAMES G. BLUNS. (Frtiu hU latest photograph. own use, aul one or two extra chairs for his friends. On each side of the main plat form are the seats for the newspaper press, 300 or 400 in number. Behind the space railed' off for the delesates are sec tions of seats for spectators stretching back to the entrance, and above are tiers of gal leries all the wav around the tuilding. About the pillars which uphold the roar.half way up, were sheaves of wheat gracefully capped, and festooned against the gallery foot-rails about the hall were the shields and coats of arms of the forty-four States. Directly opposite the Chairman's p'.atform, up under the roof, was a sort of elevator cage for the band. LEVI P. MORTON. k-ii imtal vrv beautiful m the mnrainr sunlizht.

Clarkson, Chairman ot the National Committee, stepped to the dek and took the special convection gavel iu his hand. The convention aud galleri-rs cani3 to orJer quickly, and there was not a delegate stand ing when Mr. Clarkson announced that the session would be opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Brush, Chancellor of the Uni versity of South Dakota. A moment after ward the whole convention stood as Dr. Brush, a venerable-looking man with soaraiv covered head and lone white beard, began to deliver the invocation. He prayed for harmony an 1 that the platform and the other issues milit he subordinate i to "Thy great will." . Wben he said "Amen," the convention settled down again with a rustling of br.dgds that was like the whispering of autumn leave?. There was a luurruur or conversation, which was hushed quickly as M . H. Da Young, of California, steppe i forward an I read the call for the convention. At this time there were not a dozu of the delegat -' 6eats unfilled, but the galleries were very fmritv. When the readinz of the calf was concluiei, and Chairman Clarkson arose and announced that he was instructed by t'ae National Commit tee to present to conventi u for its Tem porary Chairman the Hon. J. Sloat Fassett, of New York. Tnera was a round of aoolause at this announcement, led bv the flew Yorkers, and Mr. 1 assort, unescorted, left his seat aud started for the plitform. A path was cleared for him, and a minute later' Chairman Clarkson was Presenting him to the convention, le received the customary vocal welcome, the New York delegation rising and waving their hats iu his honor. Mr. Fassett looke l perfectly self-possessed as he gazed about the vast hall. In his hand was a typewrit ten manuscript, to which he referred occa sionally as he spoke. Mr. Fassett's spe'h was well received, the delegations listening more attentively than they usually do to the oratory of a tern porary chairman. The first touch upon the sentiment of the convention came in an allusion to ' reciprocity, artistically led up to by the speaker. It was the signal for a storm of cheers. The most skill ful bit was his allusion to the great names of the party Incoln, Seward, Grant, Sher man. Garfield aud Ljgan. The speaker paused after each name, and gave the con vention an opportunity to cheer, then, with a pause a little longer than the rest, he rap idly ejaculated, "Hirrison and Blaine," and raising his finger as a signal, the entire con vention rose in one grand, swelling chorus of cheers for the rival candidates. Almost equal to the ovation to Harrison and Blaine was the enthusiasm inspired by a reference to ex-Speaker Keel. Mr. Reel was seated far in th3 rear in the speaker's stand aud was invisible to most of the audience. Soma one started the cry of "Reed!" Reed!" and it was instantly taken up by the delegates and the gallery. The building rang with the popular demand for the appearance of the man from Maine. Not until the Chairman of the convention turned and beckoned couimaniiugly to him did he finally arise from bis seat and make a speech, which was frequently interrupted by applause, which was renewed as Mr. Reed closed. There; weiv also loud calls for McKiuley, Foraker and Quay. General Clarkson then reoortad the names oi tne temporary otneers ot tne convention, aud the selections of the National Commit tee were at once approved without opposi tion. The rules ot the last Kepublicau National Convention were adopted, aud on motion of General Sewell the roll was called and the Chairman of each delegation an nounced the members of committees se lected. This order of business gave the spectators a cnance to see some or tne leading men, and all of them was sutlicientlv pouular to receive aDDrovinz aoolause. Powell Clay ton, of Arkansas; M. H. De Youncr. of Cali fornia, lownsenu, oi Colorado; Governor Bulkeley, of Connecticut: Jngalls, of Kansas; 1 McLarns, of Maryland: Vy.W. Crapo, of Massachusetts; H. M.

The crowd took advan tage of every opportunity that was offered to cheer and amilaud. mtersoerinz it with shouts for Blame, Harrison, McKinley and Reed. At twentv minutes before VI 1 emporary Chairman Fassett entered the hall and was welcomed with cheers. As soon as quiet was restored the convention was called, to order, after which Bishop W hippie stooa up to deliver the invocation. Whrtn Governor McKiulev. of Utuo. ar rived he walked down the main aisle to an accompaniment of cheers.

A round of applause greeted Chairman Coggswell. "The Committee on Credentials is still at work," said he, "and has made dili gent progress. It hopes to be able to report at s o'clock p. St., and asks for further time.' Cx-Governor Sewell, of New Jersey, at once moved that a reees te taken until S o'clock, in order to give the committee the necessary time, but yielded for a resolution of Sanator Cnllom of IlliuoU. indorsing tba w oTia's f an and recommeaug a National appropriation therefor.

This resolution was referred ta the Commit tee on Rules and Order of business. The Chairman then announced that the queetk&i was on tb motion to take a re 2ess . There were cries of "No" from all over the ball, coupled by cries ot lngalls,, but in the confusion the Chairman put tha motion and declared it carried. A New York delegate called foradivision. It was evident as the ayes stood up that the motion was carried. The Chairman an nounced the vote as 407 to 26-1, and at 11 :45 declared that the convention would take a recess until 8 o'clock P. it. After the recess, it was 8:50 when Clerk Johnson took the platform and said in a hoarse voice: "Announcement." He I dramatically, and then repeated: Announcement. iwo unuuita mii . nr . i a.

Mr. Thompson was escorted to the platform, where he began a short address. At this point the electric lights went out after a minute's flickering, leaving the speaker's figure hardly distinguishable in the blackness, WUlCU was oareijr leiietw "J glow from some nity gas jets in me gal leries. Tne llguis uiazeu up aga.-u iu a min ute, and Mr. lhompson finished his re marks. Then the Cbairmau announced the regular order of business to be the report from the Committee on Credentials. Chairman Coggswell took the platform and stated that he was not prepared with a written report, but if the convention wished be would make a verbal report. tie understood that the minority was ready to report. Mr. Wallace, of New York, said he had a partial report from the minority, which be sent to tne clerk's a est. The Chairmau asked if there was objection to the reception of a verbal report from the committee. No objection was heard, and Mr. Coggswell, holding in his hand a memo randum sheet, began to an announce the action of the committee. The majority report gave Mr. Harrison a net gain of twelve votes over the number of his advocates seated by the National Com mittee in the temporary organization. A minority report, cnanging tnis m a great measure and giving Blaine the advan tage, was suomittea Dy tne anw-narrison men. The fight began on a motion to substitute the minority for the majority report, and, as tens was a tesr. vote or tne strength of the two divisions of the convention. muca interest was manifested. After much speaking pro and con, that part of the report seating the uncontested delegates was adopted and tneu the uuestiou came up on the motion to suo- stitute the minority for the majority report so far as it applied to Alabama. I he motion was put to a viva voce vote and the Chair was uDable to decide, then Uuay, or fenn- sylvania. demanded the call of the roll of States, and Warner Miller, ot rew York, seconded the call, ine convention now ouzzea witu unsuppresssu excite ment; the Blaine men were forcing the fight ing, and this was the first chance there had been for a trial of strength within the con vention. Then began the roll call. Alabama was reached. The delegates voted seventeen for the minority report and rive against it. Four of these voters were tne contestants favored by the minority report. Chauncey Depew made a big stir and got hissed and hooted at by rising, and with uplifted arms shouting: "Mr. Chairman. I challenge the vote of Alabama !'' The dispute over Ala bama was settled by the Chairmau of that delegation withdrawing the four votes of the delegates-at-large. When the vote of New York was called Warner Miner an nounced the vote as forty-five for the mi nority, or Blaine, and tweqty-seven for the majority, or narrison report. -u tue com pletion of the roll of States, it was an- ... ... . , . i .no a.. . nouncea tnat tne total vote stoou, ior me adoption of the minority report, and 463 against. The,crowd quickly caught the idea that tha result was against Blaine, and cheer upon cheer rolled from the Harrison benches. A motion was made at a quarter of one to adjourn until ten o'clock a. m. But this was fought stubbornly by the Harrison meu, who succeeded in defeating it. The convention then resumed business, and took up the case of the Alabama contestants for the Seventh District. The vote was taken by roll of States on the adoption of the report, and it was adopted by a vote of 476 to 865 a more pro nounced victory for the Harrison forces. Foraker then read the platform, and at twenty minutes past one the convention took a recess until ten o'clock a. m Fourth Day's Proceed in Km. Governor McKinley called the fourth day of the convention to order at 11:'W o'c oek, aud prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. Waylaud Hoyt, pf the First Baptist Church of Minneapolis. The members of the Republican National Committee from sev eral r tares were announced, and then the Chairman made known the fact that opposi tion to the adoption of the majority report iu the Alabama case had been withdrawn. Cheers greeted the unanimous vote in favor of this report. Routine business was next disposed of, and soon nerves were at high tension at the formal heoinninfir of th rl wort n." tha convention, uovernor r.icKinley onlereT a call of, the States for the nomination of candidates for the leadership of the party in November. When Coloraio was eallel, Senator Wolcott arose from his seat and mounted the platform to present the name of Blaine. He made an effective ad dress, and again aud again his mention of the man whose candidacy he supported called forth prolonged applause from bands, feet and mouths. Indiana was the next State that had a favorite son to present. He was President Benjamin Harrison. . The honor was con ferred on old Uncle Dick Thompson, who celebrated his eighty -third birthday the day before. He was Secretary of the Navy in President Grant's Cabinet. The venerable octogenarian is quite vigorous, and his brief speech was strong, full of point aud well received. Michigan was called and no one got up to put Alger in the field. This was a surprise to many; for General Alger had been talked of as a very likely dark horse. It was when Minnesota was called that Blaine got his great ovation. Delegate W. H. Eustis, of Minneapoli.", ascended the platform to second the Blaine nomination, and as on a preconcerted signal, th- ap plause raged in the maddest sty I for half an hour. . As Eustis descended from the platform there occurred one of the most remarkable happenings in the history of National Con ventions. The cheering "for Blaine had not lasted quite fifty seconds, and was dying out when a trlght-faoed, pretty women, sitting in the next row behind the platform, stood up, and with a white parasol closed and like an orchestra leader's baton began to motion the delegates to warm with their cheering. Sne bad a prominent position in thehall,an J was in front of and in full sight of all the delegates. They all saw her, and slowly bezan to rise and recommence cheering. They stood up in bunches of balf a dozen at a time, aud the pretty young woman never faltered, but kept beckoning more and more of them to get up, until the whole body of the delegates was ou its feet. Even then she was not sat isfied but with the same firm and master f ul motion of her parasol kept inciting them tu , increase and strengthen their cheers. , WHITE LAW RKID. The woman was Mrs. Carson Lake, of New York City, the wife of a newspaper correspondent. Never, perhaps has a woman so completely mastered 12,000 per sons at one gathering in this country. 8he led that multitude as a bandmaster leads an orchestra, up and down with herpara3ol. McKinley kept hammering. The crowd tired of fighting him down with noise, and Sresentlv, after twenty-six minutes of cheer ig, order was restored. At last a semblance of quiet was reached, and W. E. Mollison, a colored delegate from Mississippi, was allowed to second Blaine s nomination. i . The oratorical treat ot the day came when Chauncey M. Depew, representing New York arote to recount the services of President Harrison, and to enforce bis claim to the nomination. The fame of the speaker led all to expect a matchless piece of eloquence, and Mr. Depew did the fullest justice to his own reputation and to his ardor for the President's caus?. i nnint. he made was keen ly appreciated, and most warmly commended with boisterous applause When he had ; .v, i ihara wao n renetition of the scenes ..rikr in th afternoon. Harrison and Rujna hannera wn fl carried about the hall, ALa was mAoA in everv wav- tnai tne itw of the delegates supplied. When Mr. Depew spoke Harrison's name 4-Y. frionrlii or tht President had their inn ings, and when he mentioned McKinley the whole convention cheered for thirty seconds a t- tha inclusion of bis speech cheers for Harrison and counter cheers for Blaine were kept up for another twenty-nve minute-. Another sou of New York then arose, es- SoriAtnr Warner Miller. He seconded the nomination of Blaine. Next, Congressman Cheatham, of North Carolina, did a similar service for Harrison. J. Q. Boyd, a colored deWate from Tennessee, spoke for Blaine, and ex-Senator Spooner for Harrison, and Delegate Dowling, of Wyoming, also second ed Blaine's nomination. On motion of General Sewell, of New Jer sey, at 3:17 P. m., the taking of the nrst bal lot was made the next business. Alaska and t.h Indian Territory were allowed to vote. Their delegates brought the total to 906, aud 454 uecessary to nominate. Then the roll of thb .States. was called amid the most intense excitement, Alaska led off with two for Harrison. Mc- Kinlev's name came to the front with seven votes from Alabama'and it was apparent that the anti-administration men had decided to divide their forces on the first ballot. When the vote of New Hampshire was announced it became evident that Harrison would be renominated. When Ohio was. reached. Chairman Mc Kiuley demanded a poll of the delegates. A vote of forty -four for McKinley and two for Harrison was announced. Ex-Governor Foraker raised the point that the Chairman was no longer a delegate from Ohio. Chairman McKinley ruled against Foraker, and a poll was taken. In this McKinley re ceived forty-five votes to one for Harrison. When Texas voted twenty-two for Harrison, his nomination was secure, and the conven tion went wild. THE BALI.OT BY STATES. Harri- SfcKin Blaine, ley.

MORGAN ON SILVEiV The Alabama Senator Speaks for tha Stewart Free Coinage Bill. Washington, D. C Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.) who had given notice thit he would address the Senate on the silver question, called up the unfinished busi nessSenator Stewart s Din ior ine irec coinage of gold and silver. Mr. Morgan prefaced ms remarks vy stating that he did hot intend t&niake a! silver speech, bnt simply wished to sub mit some preliminary remarks. 1I& wanted to hear from the Minneapolis Convention before doing so. It was like ly that the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sher man) would be a conspicuous figure there, at which many darts would be fired, and he, too, would like to fire a; few darts at him. Mr. Morgan said he had something to say to his friends on the Democratic side. The State of Alabama, he said, had always been Democratic except once, when it cast its vote for General Grant ngaicst Horace Greely. With this exception that State had been Democratic until yes terday. Whether it would be Democratic to-morrow he did not know. Yesterday something happened that brought to him a mouraful suggestion of the future. There was going to be some difficulties in smoothing out the troubles there. These difficulties were not personal or political, but came from dissatisfaction of the farming community in that State, who had felt the pressure of want amid great abundance. They dreaded the visits of the tax gatherers. The people of Ala bama had done all they could to uphold the Democratic party, which they believ ed was iu favor of broadening the moucy system of the country. They relied on the Democratic party to relieve them from these difficulties, because they be lieved the Democratic party was for sound money, based on the equal free coinago of gold and silver. Mr. Morgan briefly reviewed the formation of the Farmers Alliance, noting its objects and scoring it for its alleged fallacious doctrines. It had in its ranks, he said, a lot of schem ing politicians, who presented a number ef wild schemes do the people, including tb Ocala platform. He would inform' his Democratic friends that if they could do withoCthe vote cf Alabama in the next election they need not listen to him. The trouble in that State was traceable direct ly to the fact that the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) had been able to demone tize silver, and the Democratic party had uot enough courage to remonetizc it. The Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) said it was not a political question. The Senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) said it was not a political question. He (Mr. Morgan) said it was not a politicaLques tion. They all said that because in the divisions of the houses of Congress ou the silver question they had not divided on party lines. No political party, there fore, was responsible, but both parties were afraid that in the existing political conditions they could not do without tho aid of the men . who controlled the gold side of this question. He wanted to taka it out of politics. He believed we could serve our country better now by coming together, irrespective of party, and doing what was best to restore silyerasji money metal as it was in 1873. Mr. Morgan concluded with a refereuco to "the deplorable financial situation of the country. .. Hardly had Mr. Morgan been seated when Mr. Hale (Rep" Me.) called up tho Pension Deficiency bill already passed by the House, and it was passed in a per functory manner in les3 than three minutes. Mr. Jones (Dem., Ark.) addressing tho. Senate on the Stewart Free Coinage bill Reviewed the political aspect of the silver question as shown by the votes on that subject in Congress during recent years, analysing the standing of each political party.
