Maj. V.' If : Malone was called l the
our distinguished Senator Vance in the
sentiments which he has recently uttered
in his published letters to the people,
"That we request our members of
Congress to oppose any legislation
which tends to the elevation of the value
of gold and the consequent demonetiza
tion of silver."
Upon the adoption of Maj. Malonc's
resolutions the meeting adjourned.
Washington, Aug. 5. Inquiry at the
Treasury department elicits the informa
tion that the government has now on
hand a ho lit 130,000,000 ounces of fine
silver costing $118,000,000. The coin
value of the bullion on hand is about
S1C7.000.000. If this were coined at
the present ratio the government would
realize a profit of about $S,000,000.
It would take, however, with the pres
ent coinage capacity of the United States
mints about five years to convert this
bullion into silver dollars.

prcsa were made secretaries.
Major Malone said that the present
crisis in the financial affairs of the coun
try needed the spirit ol compromise iu
the days ol Clay and Calhoun to bring
about a. satisfactory solution. The
South and West should not be held
to be disloyal if they do not
accept the ideas of New England.
The cry from Denver is for bread and the
cry from Wall street is for gold. States
manship and patriotism must come to
the front and the politician must tic sunk
out of sight. The present assemblage
can do no better tiling than pass resolu
tions endorsing; Senator Vance for his
firm stand in his country's need and for
bis repudiation of the shuffling politicians
who would sell their souls for a tness of
pottage.
J. K. Dubosc was callcJ for and iu re
sponse said the time hud come for every
body to put their shoulders to the whctl
to f;et the country out of the present
dilemma. lie stood squarely on the
Democratic platform and believed that il
its principles were carried out the relief
needed would come. 4fehc people of the
South and West do not desire an advan
tage over their brethren of the East, but
they do want relief that will be equita
ble to all. Congress should place gold
and silver on an equality.
Judijc J. 11. Metiimon answered the
call of the house by saying a fair prop
osition would be that not a man on
American soil understands the great
question under discussion, not even the
President, nor yet Senator Vance, for
whose opinions he hud the greatest re
spect. Judge Mriimon read extracts
Irora the platforms of all the parties
showing that the people have spoken
for silver and that Grover Cleveland
is in line with the people if the
utterances read are sincere. The
straw that broke the camel's back
and compelled the call for an extra ses
sion, said Mr. Mcrrimon, was the act of
the English government in destroying
free coinage in India; that ac' dropped
the price of silver, closed the mines in the
west and sent up the wail for bread from
those dccndcnt upon the miners who
are leaving that couutry by whatever
means they can secure. Wall street says
the hard times are the result of a loss uf
confidence in the silver dollar; the state
ment is false, as the daily transactions ol
every citizen will prove. Wall street and
a subsidized New York press shout
the destruction of the country if the
free coinage of the silver product con
tinues, but the tale is utterly fallacious.
It is the croaking of a horde that is fat
tening upon the calamities of the coplc.
In conclusion Judge Mcrrimon i said
with great earnestness: "1 may be wrong
but 1 am going with silver. 1 stand by
the silver dollar. 1 stand by Senator
Vance and pray that he will be given
strength to stand up in Congress on the
platform of Democracy until the great
issue is settled. I may be wrong, but
I'm in a mighty big crowd under the
leadership ot many able men."
Captain Natt Atkinson said that lie
had read the letter of Senator Vauec and
that he had listened to the remarks of
Judge Mcrrimon and was convinced that
there was honesty in the country yet.
Ninty-niue hundredths of the people ol
the Old North State are solid friends of
the silver dollar, and here comes a onc
hosa, flea-bitten, wormy, spavined, little
fellow, one Joe Caldwell, who tries to
teach statesmanship to Zebulon 13.
Vance!
Judge T. A. Jones said the financial
problem, if too great for the minds of
the statesmen ot the countrv was most
certainly beyond him. The interests of
Wall strcetrand tlie interests of the toil
ers in whatever calling were opposed to
each other. A damnable conspiracy has
been plotted for the ruin of the country.
It compels the gold standard and its
grab of the poor man's all, and there are
men in this community who arc parties
to i tie crime.
Col. T. 13. Long said he had come out
to bear Judge Merrimon and to listen to
the subject. A remark of Judge Jones
had called him to his feet; he wished to
be distinctly heard on tbcgreatqueslion.
All the parties profess to agree in the
demand for free coinage. The patriotic
men ol the parties mast show their
hands, uud the good element of the par
ties are going to combine to whip Wall
street out of its boots. The way for
patriots to do was to rally to Zcb Vance
and his ideas as enunciated in his letter;
stand with Messrs. Mcrrimon and
Jones, who hud conic out and said
they were with Senator Vnncc. Two
things bad brought the couutry to the
condition she is now in the demonetiza
tion of silver and the national banking
system. "Maryami I3utler," Col. Long
said, "the man who has been ridiculed
so much, and the conservative clement
in the Democrat, Republican and Prohi
bition parties and the People's Party
ites will stand shoulder to shoulder and
show Wall street that the people she can
impoverish no longer.
Mr. I'lamondon introduced a bet of
resolutions of some length, and spoke
to them briefly. His resolutions en
dorsed the views of Senator Vance, re
sol ycd for "the amendment of the vari
ous coinage acts so that gold and silver
may be converted into bullion and de
posited in the treasury ol the United
States and gold and silyer certificates be
issued thereon tor circulation," and
closed with the alliance demands.
Chairman Malone introduced the fol
lowing resolutions, not because he op
posed Mr. Flamondon's resolutions, but
in order to present the sense of the meet
ing in the briefest form :
"Resolved, That we cordially endorse

Nlory of a Demented
Young Man.
Newiierne, Aug. 3. several years
ago Ferdinand Stccbing came to this
country with his father and mother, he
being then a boy. On the way, while on
shipboard, Ferdinand dropped his baby
bister over the side of the ship and to a
watery grave. The f ithcr and mother
were nearly crazed by the accident and
censured poor Ferdinand severely for
what they deemed culpable carelessness
or wiful crime. So great was the boy's
anguish over the matter that his reason
failed and he has plodded along through
lite a halt idiot. The lather became (lc
ranged and died in an insana asylum
leaving Ferdinand and bis aged mother
alone iu the world. Some time ago Fer
dinand became insanely enamored with
a voung lady of this city and importuned
the father of the young lady to give her
to him.
Last month this young lady was mar
ried to a gentleman from the North and
left for her new home. A few days ago
I'crdinanu purchased some Kough en
Rats, took a dose, and in a few hours
was in eternity.
The family came to Newborn since the
late war and conducted a cibiuct
mnkcr's shop as a means of living.

Wlln a Dam 85 Feet Hlicta.
One of the biggest schemes for the es
tablishment of an industry near Ashc
villc that has been known iu this section
was made known yesterday.
W. K. Whitson, esq., us attorney for
the United Industrial company of New
York, appeared before the Hoard of Al
dermen and gave that body an outline
of what was proposed, for the purpose of
learning the Hoard's views before work
was begun.
The United Industrial company pro
poses to erect a mammoth knitting
plant, for the production of every con
ceivable article of knit goods, on the
Swannnnoa river, 21 i miles above the
city water works. A dam 85 feet high
is to be built at this point and a num
ber ol buildings for machinery and oper
atives are also to go up. The company
wislnd to know if the -city would raise
;tny objection to the construction of
the dam on the ground that the city wa
ter supply might be contaminated
thereby. It did not care to begin work
and afterwards be stopped by the city.
1 He Hoard told Mr. Wuitsou the ques
tion was one tor the consideration ot ex
perts; that the city would object if there
were any danger ot contamination. Utn
wise the city would, not make the slight
est objection. The matter will likely
come up at a future tncetini;. Alderman
Jones said the city could enjoin the com
pany Irom building the dam it coutanii
nation were probable.
1 he company winch proposes to estab
lish this industry has been quietly at
work for some time, looking over laud,
etc. W. G. Maxwell of New York, one
of the members of the company, has been
here several times in consultation with
Mr. Whitson. The company has $5,-
000,000 back of it and desires to begin
work very soon if no obstacle is thrown
in its way. If it should turn out that
objection will be raised against the erec
tion ol tbc dam the plant will be estab
lished elsewhere.
The people of Buncombe aud Asheville
will hope that this important industry
may become a certainty for the couuty
