Core the members of. the q.nion, and tile subject of reduotion"Of cottori aereage has been syrung;. -and I be. liove every member-is willing to du the right thing about tile inatter, but don't know just what that is. Now, it seems to nit that the only way t4i make a practical suggestion is thal every man be his own judge in the ipremises based oi this: Be sure tc plant enough grain to make all you ieted, it' a short crop is made. Now, tie( fellow whoi hais to) buy it bushel of eor!i is phlntilg too much cotton, andb41 is not livinl- up to the doetriein o'f the union, anI is not a good union maii, let him be whom Ithe may. So, brother, if you belong to that list and want) the respect of your 0 union quit it right nw ,and take somei of that i laiid you meant to plant in cotton and put it in corn. You are the man that we want, to reduce. You are not treatinl. yourself nor your brothers right. We ought to put a stop to the shipment. of corn to outr country. We e1n do it and not get ,hurt; but to the colntralv be helpful to ourselves. This is teit doctrine of the Old Grange, which is on1e ol' the ftuindlmental doc trinles of the FalrlIers' union. IIow anid what to make was the mission of the Gn Toe. To supply money to pay f'or it was lie ductrine of the Alliance. 1lenme the only new idea of the un i(m is how to get value received for Mur pwoduct.

Whenl this thing happened I was On the 'City of Pekin,' at San Faneisco; but you've got no call to believe that, so there's an end on't." There was something bluff and manly about the prisoner and .li9t m pressed tie judge, who sanid,- hot un kindly: "But, surely. prisoner, if your story is true, you must have friends and comrades with whom,you' could have communicated. If you had thought they would do you good you would have done this. It is too late 10W.' "You're right. Cap'n; it is too. late.

F.very one in court stared in amiate' ment at the man who thus coolly. ulrgedl the judge to hurry his ex'ii tioan, while at the same time protest ing his innocence. The judge was toucehed.
