McDowell, of Tennessee, a well known State Populist leader, in an impassioned ipeech demanded that the Third party men he given better representation oil the com mittee on resolutions, nlv oee Populist, ho declared. ;ari in Putter, of North Carolina, was now on tbe committee. Tho Populists had been assured by those iu -'barge, of this convention that if I'uey handed a li.-t of names to the see: eta ry t'.iey woall be placed on the committee. TVis li t was now hi the hantU of the seercai v, but had not beoa read. Were the Ti-ll i partv men to be iornored ? Tho convention ordered Unit the Populkta be placed on e eo'ivuittee. Tho conven tion Mien adjo.-.rned for the day. A largo amount of speech makiLg occurred on the second day':; session, afier wbii'a the following platform wiis adopted. Although nothing was said in the resolutions about abolition of party lines as proposed by Sibley, Stewart and others, the speakers of the day almost without exception took care to assert their Democracy and to repudiate any affiliation with either Republicans or Populists. The resolutions follow: "Silver and cold coin have in all ages constituted the money of the world, were the money of the fathers of the republic, the money of history and of the constitution. "The universal experience of man kind has demonstrated that the joint use of both silver and gold coin as money constitute the most stablestand ard of value and to have a full amount of both metals is necessary as a medium of exchange. "The demonetization of either of these historic metais means an appre ciation in the value of money, a fall in the prices of commodities, a diminu tion of profits of legitimate business, a continuing increase in the burden of debts, a withdrawal of money from the channels of trade and industry where it no longer yields a safe and 6ure return and its like accumulation in the banks and the great money centers of the country. "There is no health or soundness in a financial system under which a hoard ed dollar is productive of increase to its possessor while an invested dollar yields a constantly diminishing return, and under which fortunes are made by the accretions of idle capital or destroyed by a persistent fall in the price of com modities and a persistent dwindling in the margin of profits in almost every branch of useful industry. Such a sys tem is a premium on sloth and a penal ty upon industry, and such a system is that which the criminal legislation of 1S73 has imposed upon this country. "The bi-metallic standard of silver and gold has behind it the experience of ages aud has been tested and proved by the enlightened and deliberate judg ment of mankind. The gold standard is a departure from the established policy of the civilized world, with nothing to commend it but 22 years of depression and disaster to the people under extraordinary accumulation of wealth io the bands of a few. There MARION, are seme facts bearing upon this ques tion, rccoguized acd admitted by all candid men, whether advocates of bi metallism or of a single gold standard. Ahiodz these is tho fact that the very year that m-irktd the change from bimetallism to the s ngle gold standard is the very year that marked the change from a condition of rising prices, large profits, general contentment .and great prosperity, to a condition of falling price3, diminishing profits, insecurity of investment, unemployed labor and a heavy depression in all branches of trade and industry. It 13 not a matter of dis pute, even among the honest advocates of the gold standard, that general pros perity came to an cad with the ujstrr.:' tion of the bi metallic system and that hard times, falliuzprices, idle working men and widespread depression came in with the gold standard and prevails to-day wherever the gvld standard has been adopted. "Every international monetary con ference that has been called, every de mand in this country end in Europe for an international Agreement to re establish the bt-rnetallic standard, is a confession that the demonetiz ition of the system was a blunder if not a crime; that iis consequences have been disastrous and that the conditions that it has wrought are fu'i of menace and of peri!. The logic of facts establishes beyond intelligent question that the destruction of silver as primary money by a conspiracy of selfish interests is the cause of the widespread depression and suffering that began with the gold standard. There can be uo restoration of prosperity, no permanent relief from prevailing conditions, until the great cause has been removed by a complete restoration of silver to its proper dace as a money metal, equal with go7d. "We believe in a money of stable value; we believe, least of all, in an ap preciating standard; it is only through the practical operation of bi metallism that a stable standard of value can be Becured A standard constituted of money constantly increasing in value is rot a sound, a single, nor a stable stand ard, but a constantly changing stand ard. The effect of gold mono-metallism is to establish one standard for the creditor and another for the debtor: and there can be no more dishonest mone tary system than that w hich gives short measure to the borrower and long meas ure to the lender. "Under the policy prevailing prior to 1873 there can be na violent change in the re'ative value of the. two metals, for a rise in value of one metal is counter acted by a decreased demand and a fall in value by an increased demand. Un der the operation of this ber.eficient law a stable relation was maintained be tween them in spite of the most extreme changes in relative productions. From the first period of our history up to 1873 the right of the debtor to choose whet -er he should pay his debts in silver or gold coin was always recognised. The subsequent policy has been to transfer this right to the creditor, thus tending to constantly increase the value of the dearer metal and destroy the parity be tween them, believing that, it is abso lutely necessary to reverse this iniqui tous and ruinous policy, we therefore resolve, "That we favor the immediate resto ration of silver to its former place as a full legal tender, standard money, equal with gold, and the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the ratio of 10 to 1 and upon terms of exact equality. "That while we should welcome th co-operation of other uations we believe that the United States should not wait upon the pleasure of foreign govern ments or the consent of foreign credi tors but should themselves proceed to reverse the 'grinding process' that is destroying the prosperity of the people and should lead by their example the nations of the earth. "That the rights of the American people, the interests of American labor anci the prosperity of American indus try have a higher claim to the consid eration of the people's law-makers than the greed of foreign creditors, or the avaricious demands made by 'idle holders o idle capital'. The right to regulate its own monetary system in the interests of its own people is a right which no free government can barter, sell or surrender. This reserved right is a part of every bond, of every contract and of every obligation. No creditor or claimant can set up a right that can take precedence over a nation's obligations to promote the welfare of the masses of its own people. This is a debt higher and more binding than all other debts and one which it is nor only dishonest but treasonable to ig. core. "Under the financial policy that now prevails we see the land filled with idle ar d discontented woriiingmen and an ever-growing army cf tramps, men whom lack of work and opportunity have maiie outcasts at.ii beggars. At the oilier end we i;:. l . a few thou sand families own one-half the wealth of the country. "The centralization of wealth ha cone hand-in-hand with the spread of poverty. The pauper and the plutocrat are twin children of the same vicious ai.d unholy system. The situation is full of mecance to the liberties of the people ami the life of the republic. The i issue is enfranchisement or hopeless servitude. Whatever the power of money can do by debauchery and cor ruption to maintain its grasp on the law-making power will be done. "We therefore appeal to the plain people of the Hnd, with perfect confi ! dence in their patriotism and in- teiiicence, to arouse themselves to a full sense of the peril that confronts them and defend the citadel of their ibertics with a vigilance that shall neither slumber nor sleep." The convention adjourned to-night, after speeches by W. J. Bryan, A. J. Warner and Senator Wolcott. The committee on resolutions also in troduced the following resolutions, which, like the platform, was unanim ously adopted: "Ilesohed, That a committee com posed of one member from each State ba appointed by the delegates thereof ia this convention whose duty it shall be to correstoad with the representa tive advocates of bi-metallism and bi metallic societies in the dilerent sec tions of the Union and devise measures to advance Ihe cause of bi-metalltsm throughout the United States. That this committee shall Mve power to cause a national conference of bi-metal-lists whenever, in the opinion of the committee, the cause of bi-metallism can be advanced thereoy. Said com mittee shall have power to fill all vacancies." N. C, WEDNESDAY, HATiO- 1L COMMITTLEr-!C.

Secretary Olny'3 letter to the Attorney General making tbe suggestion upon which these instructions are based ia as follows: Department of State, Washington, D. C The Ilocon'-oleth? Attorney General: Sir: It is a matter of current rumor and newspaper report that at various points ia the United States attempts are makiug, by enlistment of men. the equipment and arm ing of vessels, and by other illegal measures, to aid the insurrection now in progress in the island cf Cuba. While this department has cot boon furni.ihad with tangible evi dence confirmatory of such rumors and re ports, it deems it of great importance that no possible opportunity be given to complain that the government of the United States has In any respect fallen short of its full duty to a friendly nation. It is r-spectfully sug gested, therefore, that the United States attorneys and marshals for the several dis tricts embraced in tho coast line between New York aud Brownsville, Tex., have their attention called to the subject, and b es pecially enjoined to see to it that the neutral ity laws of the Uiiited States aro faithfully observed and all violations thereof prompt ly and vigorously prosecuted.

NEWS OF THE OLD NORTH STATE State Geologist's Ke port. The State Geologist has reaJy fot the printer the reports on corundum, water-powers, gol iaml. mooazite. All these will be illustrated. The report oa deep artesian water snpply is near ly readr. This is specially for the benefit of the ea&tern counties. The depth of such wells varies. At Char leston it is 700 feet, and in New Jer sey from 100 to 1,000 feet. Artesian well6 have bnilt up the pretty towns along the New Jeitey coast. At Franklin, Va., ilro water, steadv- flowing, is found at a depth of only lfo feet, and wells there have cost only $o0. One was sunk at Wilming ton. It did not 0 deep enongb, but htoppedat salt water, because some of the boriug machinery was broken in the well. One hundred feet more of depth might yield fine water. Accidental Shooting. "Monday morning a party of Weaver ville people went to Black Mountain on a fishing excursion. John Cairns, Jr., was one of the party. He wan dered away from his companions look ing for game, nnd remained away so long they become alarmed and eet ont ou a search for him. About 2 o'clo'ck he was fovfud in the wood dead, one hide of his face almost lorn away by the charge from his gun. The shoot ing was accidental. Union County Booming. One proof that Union county is in good circumstances is that no Western corn has been shipped there wnce the early fall, while on tho other hand many car loads have been shipped from there to different points in South Carolina at from 6 to 7 cents cheaper than it could bo shipped from the t'ei-t. The amount of mortgages taken and the time business done this ppring are nothing to be compared with last year. State Printers Behind. The law requires that the acts of the legislature shall be published by tho public printer and delivered to tho secretary of state within ninety days after the legislature adjourns. That period expired Tuesday. The new public printers have not yet sent in the laws. The penalty is $"0 for each day over time. The Next Fair. Colonel J. S.
