IX0ES3IVE CURRENCY TINKIRIN3 Charles Francis Adams Thinks the nt is Metldliug with Privata Enterprises too Much. Kansas Citv, April 15. At yester-- 1 lay afternoon's session of the coin- - uierciHl ronijress Governor Francis of Missouri, was chosen president. ( Letters of relict were read fn m N'lialor LYlier of Kansas. and John V. of Chicairo. 11. 11. Thutlier of New York, w riling ou l)ii.sines comhiimtions and trusts, said they were hy sharp compe- - tition. Their elTeets were heneliei-i- l to the producer and the consumer. An tiecn--atio- of capital, skill and iu almost every i'raiich of btisi- - .ms is for the best inturosls of the jlua-M--s. this morning when 1'ivsideiil Frances called the second days session to order. The subject under discussion "was the general business and arieuituial de-pression, causes and remedies." F. J. Skiff of Denver read a paper on "Pop-ulation aud Raw Material." lie said: "Population and raw material iu one section must have a trading treaty with this population and raw material of some oilier section of tho country, hence arose the siuni'.icauce of commer-cial reciprocity between the states of the soutn and the territories of the west. The production and the accumu-lation of the surplus was the controll-ing power iu commerce. ISo long as man lives iu isolated communities, each laboring to supply only its own neces-sities, there could be no commerce. "All that portion of tho United States lying west of the Mississirpt river, tho greater half of the continent, not only Charles trancis Adams of Huston wrote that, while he recognized the hardships of tho present situation in the west, he did not believe any action except individual action was necessary for a remedy. With the very Ker.et.il, popular idea that the government is1 grand pa:enat. to do all, to protect evi rvone and everything and provide remedies for every ill that tho body politic is subjected'to, Mr. Adams does not sympathize. "On the contrary," lie says. "1 urn so antiquated iu opinion as to think the world is governed alto-gether too much, and that it has rarely be.-- governed so much er so badly as it has been in this country for the last twenty-iiv,- , years. It the people are lett alon they will work out their sal-vation great deal quicker and more satisfactorily. The government in-cessantly incumbers them with its well-mean- t, but ill advised assistance." Mr Ad., I,, .,.! . ,,. l,.,r,.., .1..... in us area, out in us resources 01 vveaiui and its capabilities of maintaining pop-ulation within this area, couta'tied two thirds of the natural resoui'ces of the union, li was also capable of main-taining a population proportionate to its urea. No one would question the ability of the western or southern states to support as large a number of people to the square mile us now live in Petnlsylvatiia. with 114 5 persons to the square mile. All in all the figures con-lirm the truth of the statement often made t hat the United Slates, with its area and matei ial resources was capa-ble of maintaining live hundred million people. The guests of the congress were then invited to make speeches. Fx-Go- ernor Geo. W. Click of Kansas, said the sub-ject rfl greatest interest to tho western farmer was the agricultural despres-siou- . The greatest cau.se of this de-pression was institlicient markets. Tho remedy was a wider lield for the disposition of the farm-er's surplus. Rlaine's reciprocity any general business anil agricultural depression, except that wa3 due to nat-ut-and temporary causes. I'e did not believe an y legislation was required, lb) thinks improved transportation bv bind and water would provide for itself under the laws of supply aud demand if the government does not eontiii'ialiy meddle with it. Tho western products would lind a market soon enough if the government would leave the matter severely alone. The great trouble with :he currency is excessive t nkering, and d the government would leave it alone !he internal currency of tho country would regulate itself just as perfectly as international cuirency dues. The irrigation of arid lands is settling itself in Idaho and Colorado and other stales w here the government leaves it alone. The fewer commercial laws we 1 X have the better, and if there were no I commercial laws the community would I be far more prosperous than it is. The I ititertercnee of the government with f" immigration has been uniformly mis-- i rhtvHS. iliialuosa. combinations and trusts wer dangerous to those inside them, andiftleft alone by the govern-ment would work nothing but good, tin e less perveated to some purpose opposed to the laws of trade, iu which case they would inevitably, soo.ieror later, bring about the ruin of those concerned in them. The Indian question and the opening of tho Indian lands bad been brought to its jiresent unfortunate con-dition by government interference, and he knew of no way of getting it out of the snarl. The following letter on the subject of "The Irrigation of Arid Lands" from M. H. lie Yotlllir was received in r.i. schemes and Rusk's efforts in extend-ing the markets for live stock were par-tial remedies for tho present depres-sion, "j Speaker Elder of the Kansas house of representatives said those who had an imperfect knowledge of tho situation were accustomed to lay tho blame upon the farmer, but there wero other con-ditions, and they wero nearer tho root of the evil, one was the imperfect operation of the law of supply and demand which in turn was caused by the mercenary consolidations of capital by unsurppii-lou- s persons. Such combinations were trusts and they were the octopus that has fastened its grasp upon the "farmer, u.'loo--oi , ii uii", Inhil-,, m....u.-s--t ui.i.i.iiiaiiiis of all industrial classes was at the same time the most helpless and of all men the most miserable. Trusts were Hanked by speculative boards of trade and bucket shops, which forced false values upon the people. Another cause of the depression was tho too contracted market. The farmer wanted a wider field; they wanted reciprocity; reciprocity was a good thing. Another way of relieving the situation was by increas-ing tho volume of money: still another way was combinations of farmers against opposing combinations. The farmers now were trying the latter method. Dr. Parsons stated that he was di-rected by the secretary of the depart-ment of agriculture to represent that department at thiscougrcss. He spoke of the causes of depression in agricul-ture, one was tho loss of foreign mar-kets to tho farmers because diseased cattle would not be bought. The way to regain the market was to eradicate the disease. Dr. Parsons explained what the depart, ment was doing in the way of quaran-tine and inspection to stamp out dis-ease among live stock. spouse to Chairman Kelly's invitation that he address congress on that subject: Dkah Sm: Your Imitation to address the t MeKioi'n states commerc ai congreHft reai las me ai a time uh. u 1 am engrossed v ith unties 1'onnerteil with the administration of H e C exposition, and prevents tny ne.ep a ue of f e s imc 1 regiet this all the more as s- -e that one of the nuhjwts set down for discuss, n a one w th w bleb every well In-formed ( 'allium an possesses a reaso'tatve fain barltv, .

S. Hall president of the Missouri state farmers' nliiance was the next speaker. The greatest cause of the present depression he said, was parti-san politics. Tho last national cam-paign was fought on the line of econo-mic questions. Other causes of the de-pression were the high protection tariff, the decreased volume of money and the raising of freight and passenger rates to pay dividends ou watered stock. The remedies wero a low tariff, increase in tho volume of the currency and tho regulation of railroads so that they could pay dividends only on ac-tual capital invested.

The frightened horses were finally controlled, but not until they wrecked Secretary Husk's carriage. AT LOOKOUT MOI NTWN. CllATTANoouA, Tenn., April 15.

If anything was needed to positively conlirm the belief that tho political' wing of the farmers' alliance is being, and is to ho controlled fn the north and west by democratic ageuts, it came today in the statement of tho president of' the alliance in tho published prediction hero that Grover Cleveland will be the democratic nominee, and also the disconnected announce-ment that Representative Wilson of West Virginia, chairman of the executive committee of the national as-sociation of democratic clubs, had started upon a trip to the Pacific const and the northwest for the ostensible puriio.se of organizing campaign clubs and raisin? orimnl'ation fmuL 11 u ill , go as a free democratic, agent, repre-senting the national organization, to designate agents to work among the farmers with a view to con-trolling their organization and having it put a candidate in the field for the presidency next year. Tho consuming fear of the democratic, national commit-tee and the leading tneti in the parly is that the alliance, in recognition cf the services the last congrefi rendered the farnffrs ar.d that which the pres- ent administration is performing, will not put an independent presidential candidate in the lield. Mr. Cleveland is moving everything in sight to prod up the farmers in tho weslern states, especially Nebraska, Kansas, Hwa, the Dnkotas and Minnesota, to demand an alliance presidential nom-inee. The democrats are sending Mr. West to manipulate tho alliance the same as they controlled tho prohibition party last year, in the interests of dem-ocratic candidates for congress and state offices.

It is understood that it is a long and complete answer to all the quest ions Aised in the last note from Italy, being much more volumi-nous than any of the preceding letters.

In the course of his letter he says t he natural tendency of any professional game is downward and without a strong, fearless, central organization acting with other associa-tions under an equitable national agree-ment, it is impossible long to retain the cortidence of the public which is nec-essary to success.
