which rivals in its chancier and imtgnitu le

Tlio slienio which Unlcli ami Wilson K
I'luuelicii upon (lie meeting was for a *
national organization of Alliance stores ami ?
exchanges throughout the country, with a
national hend<|nailers in this city, a principal
branch establishment in Chiongo, .State central
exchanges in every .State, district, organizations
in every Congressional district and
county, and city exchanges wherever feasible.
The object win to control I ho trade of the
Alliance members, selling to them, <>u the
co oj eralive plan through the local cxchnugc",
everything they should ever wish I!
to buy at a slight advance (on the wholesale j,
price-: the head ollice t<> pay for the
merchandise; to hand c the surplus product
of the farms for the farmers, and to net as N
bankesfor them whenever desired. ii
t he brunch lieiubpiartcrs at Chicago were
disigned as n main source of supply for
porU, laru, tlour and other provisions, and
for some kind of agricii.trual iiiiplcincnts,
wagons and furniture. Piotu New Vork.tr ^
through the niiiiii ngeucy there, it was b
rtoMirneit lo miiKo nil neoessarv nut eliasoa in
wholesale way, of machinery, boats aud
shoes, clothing, hats and caps, sewing
machines, harness. carpetoi cloths, fettill
re rs, hardware, dry goods, medicines, wen- '
poos, books, and such nth"* u.. muld i
not be obtained t? gte-.ter advantage elsewhere.
Hat this giganticsheou could not Lc tloit
el wi hmt substantial capital and cooperation
of the tnetnhers of the Alliance. The
National Cordage Company stood ready,
piovi led it was given exclusive privileges
in li e supply of cotton bagging mid binder
twine to the Alliance exchanges, to lend sub- ,
st'vniiil financial assistance to (lie scheme,
ami some of the promoters, were very ready
loaeeeptits proposition, lint Colonel I'eek,
of tie rgia, refused to eouuteuatiee any suelt
irot-cln I ageenienl. lie was willing to arrange
with the Twino Trust to pay its own ,
price fir such of its cotton lugging ami twine
as the members tin I exchanges might want;
but he had recently investigated a now kind
of cotton bagging of w hich he thought vety
favorable, an i lie did not propose to b; bound
so that he could not buy some if ho wanted to.
laiough of the others joined hiui to prevent
I lie consummation of the little $10,U(>0,(.H.'0
sola me of the Twine Trust. Finally it whs
prepesed to tiTc-i u corporate organization
under us favorable legal conditions us could
bo obtained?and the New Jersey law
regarding corporations was considered quite
sufficiently accommodating ? with a nominal
c ipital of at least ? ltM'UU.UOO. A system of
preferred proprietary shares was to be
provided, the shares of this class to be nppoil.onei
among (lie present promoters, and i
to be nonassessable, paid up and everhis ing
These shares only should be repreunted 111
t'io governing orguui/.?t urn, '1 lieu there was 1
to be an i.ssuo of common shades wa ch
sh 111-1 he open to subset pt ion by the local (
cxch.iugcs and their iu livi lual members, ,
up an which the directors shoali levy
assessments as tieccs'iay, in trier loprnidc 1
funds for the transection ??! l>u-iiio?"? of the <
central exchange. Hut the holders shou'd
be entitled to no share of the guvcrtuuc t
of the institution.
The sheuie as s<l forth was generally
uc :oi'tahle, and some of the promoters were
for having it immediately approved and pi i
in operation; but Colonel l'eck and Meatus
a nuuiuiary proceeding. They were apparently
unable to satisfy themselves of the
wisdom of the scheme and would note nscut
I i have anything to do with it until it h id
received the approval of the Alliance
through i?s vartouc villllllieis 0f ex press i >?.
Accordingly the selieuie was furimilatid
in a glowing pi oe| cctus. in which the iiainv
ot tlio institution wbs quot.d as the National i
\
Alliance Uol o<i, and rerotutirns were A
adop ed ca'linz upon theS'ar* sxcbange* to

Tlie testations further provide that if, a-id

We have been reliably infotaicd, that at a
neeting at Gibbs, list Friday, one of tho
ipenkers said that lie hod not been to Union
note than lia'f a dozen times in the last
'lurtcci in uitlis. hut every time he went he
adb'en g-oss'y insulted,?wc presume he
noant by citizens of the town.
The speaker is a mild mannered inoffensive i
nun, ainI wo can't see why any one should
tisult him wi hout sullicient. cause, lie was
, mighty good town man while he lived here, (
ti l wo can't sec how he could make his old i
nan fiiends so mad and UDgenlletnacly as to
iimiIL him because ho chose to move his
itnen or residence to his farm in tho country.
If iriy one in this town vcally intuited

The fact is, taking aseusibic business view

The speaker/ stand was tmily decorated
by various specimens of farm jroducts, and a
center table held a large vie filled w'nh
beautiful hot house flowe*s, Ibicli made it
appear cool and inviting.
There were present friends tnd representatives
of the Alliances, from the neighboring
communities and fownshipL which formed
a large crowd, all present sLamed to enjoy
themselves to their fullest wpscity, from

attentive lisleWjB speaking
Everything nkb?tl' conducted/ and 1
think that I atnjMK^ble ia saying it did
great credit to owMSoraiiimnity and to everyone
condng from a disunoe.
The speaking was greatly enjoyed and
attentively listened to by every thinking person.
Mr. Elder, the Hrst speaker, was compelled
to cut bis address shorter than lie
wished, on acoount of his having to leave on
the up train. Cel. Talbert frequently interspersed
anecdotes in his speech, which kept
the crowd laughing. These anecdotes were
mnde mure inte' eating by pointing out or
culliog the name of eomo well known and
good naturc-i brother present, making him
cither the victim or the hero of the anecdote.
That whole offair was a very interesting occasion.
1 will trj and give a few extracts from ilie
speeches, hop ng ihey wi" be worthy of publication,
and bo inte-csting to the readers,
especially Al'??nco mcu, who would like

eterans- The occasion was truly a delight- u
ul one. The .low -?t estimate we hrard ai
it seed the number of civiliana and soldiers *<
it 6,000, but our own opinion was it wae near- 0
?r 6,000. The progrimrae was csrrie I out b
o the letter. Cd. AsWy Coward, ofthe'Hh, u
3. C. Volunteers, was the Orator of the d ty, a
and well did h a eff >rt come up to the highest f(
expectation of bis friends, and the old sjIdiers,
eapecislly, as he reciunted the in my u
deeds of valor which has male the courage ?
of the average southern soldiers indisputable, fa
Ha related many incidents in which poor, fa
obscure soldiers had written tbeir names ?
hiffh iid nmn the rta?es of their country's 1
history. Among these was one of which the (
Union men felt proud. _ I
It was (I U.i nk the last day at the Wilderness)
that a young man from Union grasped \
the colors of the old 6th Regiment and pivot- |
e<i ihem upon the breastworks amid n ?errl- <
lie fite. Col Coward lold him 10 come down. |
At first he pni I no attention, but when order- \
ed the second time in more emphatic language,
he s?id : "Well, Colonel, I will, but
let me gi*e threo cheers for South Carolina ]
first." flullinT the aetinn_to
oolors in the race of the enemy and give
three cheers for South Carolina. Sctrcely
bad the last word escaped his lips when
the sickening thud eame, the colors fell froin
his hands and the immortal spirit of Ike
Gregory took its flight to meet "The great I
am."
Each iucilentas the speaker related it,
was punctured with a "Rebel Veil" that reminded
us of the days of yore. Col. Coward
paid a glowing i ,-ibute to the Southern soldiery
and the patience, fortitude and devo'ion of ,
the noble women during the great contest. ,
Upon the siund sat Capt. Cauibell, I think ,
it was. Ho was biiad. Ho was frequently i
referred to by tlie speaker to prove what he
said. We know no better way to interest ,
our readers than to give them a full report |
of the speech, but that is impossible now. |
At the conclusion of Col. Coward's speech ,
the bands p'ajed "Dixie." As soon as this j
old veteran caught the air his enthusiasm (
knew no bounds. .8 he sprung from bis |
sent his stentorian voico rang out "Iluzzah ,
Huzzah." This was the signal for an outburst

s a great improvement upon the little black

Kveryb)dy's flower garden, yard, store- p]

they wont do it, they only make it a little fr

on, D. C.. Aug 4.?A s'ate>nent has been
repared at the tcasury depirtmsnt in rend
to the amount of money in circulation
i the fi'8t day of Jnly I860, I860, 1885,
ISO and 1861, from which it appears that
ie assertion that .here has been since tbe
ar a great reduction of the araiunt of
oncy in circulation is without foundation,
he sta'ciucnt is as follows :
All the statements furnidiel are male
ion the situe basis. The amount of each
nd of money in the country is first s'atod ;
om th>t is deducted the amount in the
easury and the remainJcr gives the
nount in circuhi ion. There is nothing omit,
d from the s'nteinent which s ould appear
ere except minor coins (nickels and penea)
and they aro left out of all report* be,use
of ilia diversity in estimitiou of the
nount of tlieui in use.
"As the amount at present is certainly
oiler than cirlior years their omission will
it bs unfavorably criticize 1 by those who
utend that there is a cou'radiction of,
ouoy.
"The amount of money in circulation in^r
100 was about $435,000,000 and the amount
;r capita was $13,85. In 1805 there were
"23,000,000 in circulation end 1 he per
pita amount was $20.82. Twenty years
icr thecirculitiin was over $1,232,000,000
id the per capita was $23.02. while on ike
*t of January list the amount was neirly
1,520,000,000 with $21 10 as the per eipita
lowance. the highest in tho history of tl)e
li'ed States."
vwtog io (.110 snipmeut ot gold to foreign
uutries there has been a decline since
nuiry, 1891, not only in the per capita
i'>11111 but the total also, but the totil cirluiion
