In r ioners oTVgflcfiffiH'#?, ^delegates ^commltfitates and representatives of the Farmers .Alliance were admitted to seats on the floor. < /.t the Convention's request President , Thomas, of the New Orleans Exchange, gave his views on the subject as expressed in hit 1 report at the tine of the call. In order to ( bring the matter before the meeting he mov- ( ed that all cotton in American markets be sold at net weight, allowing 5 per cent off for tare on jute-covered bales, and per 1 cent, for cotton covered bales. Mr. Copeland seconded the motion, which was discussed and amended. The Liverpool Cotton Association sent a letter against cotton bagging. Bremen Exchange wrote that it had no objeation to cotton bagging if it was heavy enough tj protect the cotton. The following resolution was passed : I41 li&t On find nficir Ilia bcr, 1880, all cotton shall bo sold at net weight, allowing twenty-four pounds off the ? gross weight for tare on jute-coTored bales, and sixteen pounds off for tare on cottoncovered bales, cotton c?Yerin*lo-bfodtai*uo<l. 1 ????? xne Farmers' Alliance people said that the ( resolutiou would be ratified, and they would , only send cotton to poi?U where the tare . was in operation^. .

Xxtraots from a Ipeeeh ef Hon. Ben Terrell. before the Farmers Alliance at Ujloa, September 4,1MB. BIFOUIO BT 0. L. STBALM. Major Terrell spoke substantially ai follows : Ladies and gentlemen, and members of the Farmers Alliance of Ualoa County: It affords mo great pleasure le meet and speak to seek a representative body of farmer* as I meet hero to-day. I, too, am a farther, advocating the interests of farmers, aad 1 feel that in you I have au audience who will bear testimony with mo ms to the wants of the farming olaascs. These I will attempt to speak of and inquire into the causes that lead to them. But in U?. first place I will aay that the farmers can effect nothing without organisation. Every ana whoa* interacts ?.* identified with the farm* log class should ssek admission int? tha Farmers Alliance, for il is th* only or. geoitation on oarth where the/ will bo properly guarded and roepeeted. AU other professions are practically arrayed against the farmers. Merchants, lawyers, doctors, and in faot every profession is more or loos organised for self-protection, and wo dew'l blame them. But we as farmers claim the right to follow thoir example; and the Farmer* Al'ience is the only body that bide (air to proteet the farmers interests, and prove a blessing to the country at large. With the history of th* organisation yon are familiar, and it is nnoeeooeyy to apoalt on that point; The credit system aad Ihsmtrotlws v' power of motfthd tt|fS have ground o?ith* life of the farmer, shi made his time-honored profersion degrsding. So much ?o, that the youths of the land who have any ambition are locking to other fields fur employment, and hence, bone, sinew, and brains are driven from th* farms, whore they or* so Wash needed. The Alliance proposes to aptogoatee ho o'aas or profession. He otytoe if self-protection, nnd il only requires a *l?*dju?f she hiatory of ihe post quarter of a ffutnop If. eonvino* every reoooneble m*o that a no*'' oessity doe* exist for n change of front. Twenty-five years ego the farmers owned half of the oountry, now they own but onefourth of it. Then wo had no mortgages, but now at least fifty per oent. of the property is under mortgage. As the munied powers have been pressing herder and M| border continually, the farmers' position has steadily been becetaiog more nnd mure embarrassing. Twenty-five year* age the iarmers controlled th* efllees and fimanors of this oonntry, nnd owned th* produote *f g the aoil. Bow things are changed, and * moolrd men own oil and ei?? only ? ?*t*)l pittance, (if anything,) fa return.
