Hon. Hector D. Laiio, of Alabama, prey dent of the American Cotton Growers' Asociation issues the follow ing a.Uref-s to the cotton growers of the South : "A3 President of the American Cottca Growers Protective Association, eognirant of the great wrong that has been p'-rr-tratM upon the masse of mv fellow farmers the cotton growers or the South, it heeom.-s mv dutyaj far as my limited ability extends to warn you of the dangers that environ -you and the devices and plans that are being laid by cunning und unscrupulous men to rob you of our honest toil, to furtherimpoverisb. you and to enhance th discord and dissatis faction that is now dominant in the heart of agricultural ea.s,w jn a knowledge of the fact that there is something radically wrong in our systems. No longer if? the product of honest tod ade)uateto our oubsisteneo and no longer is the co.-t of the prod. j-t ion of an arth lo .-my standard of its valuation; and the law or supply and demand has been dis placed and in its stead, intervenes the results attained by the 'commercial mountebank' the most insidious and merciless of whi.-b. is he that with a tonym- of an Ananias and the heart of the Matla, is murdering the material prosperity of our country and making pau pers of out people. I refer to that man who wears deservedly the name of M.e nr' II.. that of false prophecy and wilful misrepre sentation, robs US of our Subsistence, im-' perils our prosperity and h-aves us nothing but poverty in our homes and hatred iu our hearts "The warning note has been sounded let forewarned be forearmed. " "That there is a powerful and systematized mo vem "nt to again lepress the value of our staple this season is patent to all intelligent men. and it rests with the planter ot the South, individually as to whether he will submit to thus be sheared again like a sheep as he was last season . The time has arrived for heroic action The alternative is to either renoun-e growing of cotton entirely as a profitable crop or to 'take up arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them." Prom these, rumors of the im mensity of the coming crop have already been widely and recklessly circulated to in timidate the farmers into rushing their crops upon the market hoping to "receive better prices before a decline. This action upon the part of the fanners will accomplish the Intention of the ln.ilin,iil:it,.rs r.f Mm market and is to be deprecated as suicidal to J ineir interest, l tie crop ought to bring Tair values, should be judiciously distributed ovef the sel'i.ng season without allowing the de liveries to be too great at anytime. And I advise that aM farmers that can do so, with out violating a contra-t, should market their crop as slowly as they can. or at a ratio of one-third less than last season; tho equili brium of prices will tie thus fairly retained, and we will come much nearer receiving the commercial value of our product. "It will be remembered by many that pre vious to our civil war, on account of the Jack, of transportation facilities, it required from seven to nine months to market the common cotton crop. We now sell the bulk of it, which is three or four times the size, in about three months, thus congesting the market, making competitors of ourselves in the mad ruh to gi't rid of our product while upon the other hand a judicious gradual distribu tion of the same over a greater period of minths would be conducive to competition between the manufacturers who are obliged to have our material and their running filter us to buy out product instead of our having to run after them to sell it to them. "And I desire to im ress upon the cotton growers the imp rative necessity of organi zation for tli'j accomplishment of this pur pose, and all instrumentalities should be en gaged in the achievement of this, consumma tion devoutly to be wished. Poubtlcss this endeavor will meet with strenuous opposi tion at the hands of those w ho recklessly speculate upon the labor of the farmer of the South. He would be offered a little moro than the market price to I ring in his crop. The argument of risk of fire, joss in weights, would follow with the usual denunciation of advice, tint I implore you for the sake of your families rendered destitute by these despoilers and for the love you bear for our Sunny Southland' for all that is sacred to our hearts and to our homes to resist this enrrent tli.'it iw irisi.lioiislv- il.-iv t.v 1 v .Iriiu-- ing us into a vortex of poverty and 'shame ami depraving ourinanuoon ana increasing crime. , "There never was a more cruel and relent ss war waged upon the people than upon the South bv England and her emissaries and tory allies, reducing her people ironi affluence to the pittance of ten cents a day lor their labor, which cotton nt live cents per pound means. FAYOKS FKKH SILVKK. Col. Carr Gives the Ileasons for the Faith That Is in Him. Col. Julian S. Carr, the distinguished North Carolinian, gives his views on the silver question as follows: 1. "I favor the immediate repeal of the uv demonetizing silver and the immediate restoration of silver to the position held by it before the passage of that law. This will make silver, as well as gold, money of final payment. Money will then be easier and trade will revive, debts und taxes will he easier to pay. 2. "I favor the continued coinage of silver nt the present ratio as long ns the country needs more money and ns long ns we can p a silver dollar equal to a gold dollar. We are now floating nearly SlidO.lMtO.OOO of Ivcr, and we can float fully twi"e as much, it He1 Government will make it legal tender in all sum- for all debts, both public and pri- x.ite. ?.

SOUND HONEY IN IOWA. THK DKMOCltATS IN CON YEN TION DECLARE FOR IT. The Resolutions Reaffirm the Nation al Platform and Demand a High License Law. The Democratic State convention of Iowa, met Wednesday r.t Marshalltown. The fol lowing platform was adopted: "Tho Democratic party of Iowa, in con vention assembled, re-affirms the national platform of the party adopted in Chicago in 1332 and points with satisfaction to the evi dences of the wisdom of that convention, of the results accomplished according to its promises, to the evidences to returning pros perity, the restoration of wages and the re esta'.lishmcnt of industry upon a prosperous basisconditions which have extorted con gratulation from even the Republicans of Iowa. Wc declare the rescue of the finances of the country from the baleful effects ot the Sherman law, the repeal of the un-American Federal election law, and the uprooting or M Xi'il'-yfsm to bo works worthy of the his tory and prestige of the Democratic party and of a courageous Democratic admiu'stra tion. "We re-afflrm tho following portion of the seventh plank of the hist National Demo cratic Convention: 'We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the .standard money oT th" country and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discrimination again.-t either metal or .charge for mintag". but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted by such safe-guards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance, of th" parity of the two metals and the equal power ..f every dollar at all times in the markets aud in the payment of de;ts, and demand that all paper currency shall ho kept at par with ami redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especial ly ik ssary for the protection of the farmers and laboring classes, the first midmost de fenseless victims of unstable money and a 11 u'-t u at ing currency. "We condemn the cowardice and trickery of the Republican party of Iowa iu failing to nvci. in its last State platform, any of the issu- s important ami vital lo the interests of our State, and we ask upon it the sober judgment of an intelligent people. "We believe that the liquor law fails to meet tin? requirements of a good excise statute. It is unfair as between communi ties and imposes hardships upon properly owners, and it compromises the honor of tha State in declaring the sale of liquors a crime and condoning the offense for a money con sideration. We repeat our demand of the past five years for a local option high license lnv. and on behalf of the, commercial inter ests of our State v.e favor a Jaw permitting the manufacture of liquors, thus affording a mark' t for the products of the farm and labor of the Slate and saving to our people the enormous sums now expended iu othet Stat".:. 'W' favor the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. "W favor just and liberal pensions to all dt s'-rving veterans. "We rcit'Tate our unfi'uehing opposition to all monopolies and trusts and cull for ena -ttn-vits which will abolish combines of all kinds. "We demand that our State institututions be governed by a single non- partisan board of control, which can intelligently compre hend their relative wants and economically and justly apportion among the whole that which 1 heir just requirements demand. 'We favor the speedy completion of the Hennepin canal and tho deepening of the water-ways from the Great Lakt-s to the ocean, so as to enable oeeuu vessels to pass through." Judge W. F. Rarr, of Mount Pleasant, a Sound money man, was nominated for Gover nor by acclamation. Jn the same manner the nomination for Lieutenant Governor went to S. L. Restow, of Chariton, who has been Li'-ulcnaut Governor, and is an advo cate of free silver. The nomination for rail road commissioner went to Col. George Jen Kins, of Dubuque, and for State .superintend ent to L. R. Parshfill, of Maqno!:eta. Tlx re were two candidates for Supreme Coin I judge and a ballot wad required. G. Harper, ex State S mator. of Rurlington, was nominated, defeating E. E H.asner, of Independence. The sense of the delegates was twl"e taken on the silver qu.-stlon and the party in this State is fairly on record as opposed to fret eoinaze at tho ratio of 1 6 to 1. FREE COINAGE. BIr. Tomlinsoii (iives Eleven Reason? Why lie Favorslt. Hon. John W. Tomlinson, a prominent at torney of Birmingham, ,Vl:i.,t-i;s i:i The N-w York Mercury why he favors the free coic age of silver as follows: "First-R -cause the single gold standard is uufair to the debtor class. 'Voe.,nd Because there is not now a sufth'ient amount of gold for a circulate. g medium. "Third B :cause tho parity woul 1 then be maintained naturally inste.il of artificial1;.-, as at present. "Fourth Because tho production of go!J is n't keeping pace with in-Teasing popula tion and business. "Fifth Because, under the single coll standard, gold is comparatively constantly appreciating. "S.xth Rvauso. like a river fed from two sources, tie- circnUting medium would then o less liaMe to fluctuation. "S 'venth R 'cause both gold and silver, as primary money, is the constitutional money of the jeople.

"Ninth B -cause ther would l two met als as primary money, so t li r the debtor might have the option iu which he would pay.

A till in equity wa4 fiie l Sat irday at Philadelphia in the Comr.v-.ri Pit as Court to have an injunction t-uel re'xuning the city from tifc-eg the Liberty Bdi to the Atlanta Exposition. The Li is flPed by Thomas G. Morganton, Win. Frazier, Wm. 8. Blight. Wendell P. Bowman.Joel J.Bailey, Samuel R. Shlphy.H irry Rogers and George Filer, citizens and tax-payers, in behalf of themselves and all others who may intervene against the City, Mayor Warwick, James L. Miles, president of select council; Wu.fl Hartman, president of common council; Director of Public Works Thompson, ani Chief Eisenhouscr. of the Bureau of city property. Tho bill states that the com plainants have requested the city solicitor to institute, in behalf of the city and in In habitants generally, proceedings similar to the present litigation, but that the city soli citor has refused to do so. Continuing, the bill says: "In the year 1316 the city of Philadelphia, in pursuan.ee of the terms of an act of '.he Assembly approve 1 March 11, 110, acquire 1 title by "purchase to a tract of land locate 1 in the city and now known as Independence Square, and also to a building located on raid tract, which had formerly been owned and used by the Commonwealth of Renusyl vania as a State house, nud is known as In dependence Hali. and also to a certain b-ll affixed to said building as part of the realty, known as the Liberty Bell, and whi di was then, and now, an object ol historic value and interest." The bill further states that since the pur chase the city of Philadelphia has con tinued to own the belt as part of its corpor ate property and t exhibit it as nn heirloom and relic; that when the president of the Cotton States and International Exposition Company recently sent a communication to the mayor of Philadelphia requesting the citizens of this city to take part in tho ex position, no reque-t was made for the loan of the bell, but that the city council subse quently appointed a joint commission to ex hibit the bell at Atlanta, and appropriated $ 13.000 to meet the commission's expense?. The bill characterizes the action of the c ity council as unlawful and declares that the re moval of the relic will t eeessitalo its trans portation for a distance o: over 2,000 miles and "expose it to great risn and peril during the respective periods of the transportation and exposition." The courts are asked to restrain the defendants from removing the bell from Independence Hall and from taking any steps to send it to Atlanta or any other place outside or the city of Philadelphia and it further be decreed that the defendants are without lawful authority to make such a removal.

SILVER DOLLAR BLAND BOSS. THE CONVENTION BELONGED TO HIM. the State Committee Swelled With' Silrerites from 15 to 3. The Resolutions Adopted. The Missouri Democratic State convention met at Pertle Springs, Mo. The committee on resolutions sprang surprise by electing as their chairman Con gressman De Armond, of Bates county, and they Immediately began their labors. The committee on permanent organization decided upon Hon. R. r. Bland for perma nent chairman and the temporary organiza tion was made permanent. It was recommended that the present State committee le enlarged by the addition of one committeeman from each congressional district and by the election by the conven tion of lour committeemen at large making the total 31 instead of 15 a.s at present con stituted. The proposition was carried. The resolutions committee's report was read and adopted. The preamble and resolutions are as follows: 'The Federal Constitution names silver and gold together as the money metals of the United States. The first coinage bill passed by Congress until the constitution made the silver dollar a unit of value, admitted gold to free c6inago at a ratio measured by the silver dollar unit. "From the beginning of the government, following the policy formulated by Thomas Jefferson and lirmly established by Jackson, the liemoerati'.' party has been the party of bi-metallism, favoring the free coinage of both silver and gold at the national mints, and opposed to farming out to banking cor porations the government s sovereign power of issuing and controlling the money of the people. "The act of 1973, demonetising silver, was surreptitiously passed, without the approval or knowledge of the American people, and from the time when the effect of this net, in fastening upon the country the single gold standard was, understood, the Democratic party has consistently and persistent! v urged that the grievous wrong be righted. Failure to accomplish this object has resulted in the steady appreciation of gold, a correspond ing fall in the prices of commodities pro- duced by the people, a heavy increase in the burden of all debts, public and private; tne enrichment of tho money-lending class; RICHARD r.

"Experience has shown that whilo undei the single gold standard there may be an oc casional revival of business activity, accom panied by enhanced prices of a limited num ber of commodities, sie-h revival is due to artificial and temporary causes and cannot permanently alleviate the sufferings due to falling prices, brought about by the appre ciation of gold and an inade'iuate supply of primary or redemption money. "JJuty to the i-eoX'le requires mat tne party of the people continue the battle for bi-nietallisni until its efforts are crowned With success. Therefore be it: "Resolved, That we, Democrats of Mis souri, in convention assembled, demand the free und unlimited coinage of silver and gold into primary or redemption money, at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the action or approval of any other nation; and second, "Resolved, That we aro irrevocably op posed to the substitution for metallic money of a panic-breeding, corporation-credit cur rency based on a single metal, the supply of which is so limited that it can l cornered at nt any time by a few banking institutions in Lurope and America; third, Resolved, That we aro opposed to the policy atd practice of surrendering to the holders of the obligations ottne Liiit.Hihi.nes the option reservd by the law to the govern inent of redu'-ing Mi- h obligations in either f-ilvercoi.-i or gold eoin;fourth, "Reaclved, That we are opposed to the Issuing of interest-bearing bonds of the United States in time of pe.v-e,and esj.ecjally are wo opposed to pla ing the Treasury of the government under the control of any syndicate of bankers and the issuance of bonds to be sold by them at an enormous profit for the purpose of supplying the Federal Treasury with gold to maintain tbe policy of gold mono-mctallism " Additional resolutions wto adopted in structing tie- State committee to call a con vention not later than August 15th to elect delegates to the national convention: also sending congratulations to Senator Black burn, of Kentucky. The deb-nates from the different congressional districts then named their candidates for additional members ot the State committee and they were unani mously elected. At the night the only feature of Interest was the speeoh of Senator CockreU. At its conclusion the convention adjourned sine die. The election of the committee at large Is regarded as a victory for "Silver Dollar" Eland, and a severe blow to the Francis and Maffitt faction of the party.
