The forty-sixth annual session of the Southern Baptist Convention began in U’Hrien's Opera House, Birmingham, ▲ la., oh Friday morning. The Mil of delegates show ed IH»4 present and many came in afterward. A. W. Ultambliss, of Missouri, the qlOest nn»mhi,r m«il tii^. iid le I stand updicrq before my people and toll you the truth. You have been hum bugged long enough; you have boon tnlfied long enough. 1 have traversed this country from one end to the other. 1 have looked upon its groat cities, its magnificent rivers, its busy hives of in dustry, but when I stand iu the pres ence of the honest yeomanry, the great middle, classes of our country, who are the palladium of our liberties, w ho pay 80 cents of every dollar of taxes col lected, who clothe the world; the men without w horn our ships would rot at their docks; the men without whom Jay Gould with all ids boasted millions, would starve, 1 forget all this and re member tiiat the glory of this country rests, at last, in the hands of this peo ple. The questions which confront pur country at this time require ihe stern est statesmanship, the purest patriot ism, to solve. These conditions which exist to-day show that tiilqyfl ir* *.«■» km I in me tl CUTlk oTdest Inhabitant of this country, were mfouufacturing enterprises in a more nourishing condition? When was the growth and prosperity of railroads greater than now ? Never. At what time In qur history was the growth of cities and towns greater ? Never. When priation and not in the nature of a loan. The case was carried to the Supreme Court of the Uhlfced States and it was there decided that the advance was a loan, and therefore must he repaid. Jn 1884 the Exposition of New Orleans asked for a loan of $l,000,0h0 and the eonstitutionnlity of the hiiI w as so plain that it passoc^ the Senate by a unani mous vote. Is it unconstitutional for the Govern- m«Ht to loan money ? Yes—when it is proposed to loan it to the farmers : hut it is all right to lendjt to 819 National banks at 1 per cent, per annum. It is perfectly constitutional to store whis key, but awfully unconstitutional to store bread and ‘dothes. The Government is nothing but the agent of the people. 1 don’t believe the Government has any more right to re fuse to issue money to the people .than it has to come here and put me in your JaiTto-day. “But,” they say to us, “your bill is impracticable.” Well, suppose it is; it is only so in its details and you are paid to make jt practicable. You say it is unconstitutional; it Ky our duty to fix it. The passage of the Sub-Treasury bill w as petitioned for by over 60,000 men. What lias become of the hill and the pe titions? They sleep the sleep of death in the pigeon hole of the/coininlttee to which they were referred. The place hereafter to put your petitions is ia the bnflorbOX They w ill be heard there. They admit we need relief, but what have they done? The silver bill was passed in the Senate and we felt g§od, House on a direct vote. But it now sleeps the sleep of legislative death and your best chance of relief from this Congress is gone. And^Mr. Cleveland, one of the great leaders of the National Democracy, stands over Us grave and does not shed a tear, but smiles at its downfall. This Congress has not passed a single bill In the interest of the people. What are we to do? They say we must not go into politics. 1 believe I am doing Cod's work in advocating the principles of tills order, and I have consecrated all that I am, and all that I ever expect to be, to tills great work. One of the great things to be accom plished by this organization is the wip ing out of every semblance of Mason and Dixon’s line in Alliance, territory. JLct me make you a prediction; let me teil you what I believe. You may see a third party it. this country, hut it w ill not be for long. •The masses of the Northwestern States, the Southern States and the Westerp States w ill lie arrayed on the one side, and on the othe other will stand the plutocrats and immojH.iists of the Northern HitjCEn-L v; r ' of TOe Amroctatlon until the regular thinking it would ^eortalfHir pass the meeting in Septemh in all your long life did agriculture lan guish so? Never. In 1830 the farmers of this country owned 70 |>er cent of the wealth of the country, and paid 83 )ier cent, of all the taxes; In 1880 they owned only one- third of the wealth of the country, but still paid 80 per cent, of the taxes. What we hoed Is more money to trans act our business. INditical doctors will tell you that money will buy more now than ever before, and ask w liat are you farmers growling about anyhow ? Oth ers say your laziness, extravagance and Improvidence has brought you to your present condition, but I say no class of men work mi hard, or live so hard as the farmer. Mr. Dodge, the statistician at Waahington, says agricultural depres sion is caused by a lack of divvrsilica- tion. Mr. Morrill, the father of the Sen ate, says the trouble I* over-production, but I say there is no over-production as long as there ia a single cry for bread: K la not over-production that Is causing the trouble, hut undcr-con«umptiou. One man tells us that the farmers are to blame, another that God D to blame, but the real trouble is tiiat we are groan ing under the most unjust financial sys tem the world has ever aeon. A finan cial system has been imposed U|>on this country the most w icbed that was ever devised by the brain of man. If not changed Jt will make us a country of millionaires and paupers, ami neither millionaires nor paupers are friends of civil liberty. The great middle classes an* being wiped out.

Now, my friends, do not lie fright ened alamt this political question. t>ec- tiniialism has been an issue for the past 2."> years, but the decree of God has gone fortli that we are one people. I w ant to say that the political cyclone Is gath ering, and will sweep this country in is'.rj. . Relief must come from the National Legislature. To get it the |M*rsoniie| of that body will have to lie largely changed. These ate plain words, but they are true w ords. Our order was .never in a more pros perous condition.

There has never been a period In our history w j^en the masses hare Political Prophecy. Atlanta, Ga., May 7.— President Polk, of the National Alliance, in an interview with the Constitution, was asked : “What w ill be the effect of the failure to agree to Uis farmers’ de mands ?” He said : “That will l*ethe great pro pelling power w hich w ill drive the far mer into tlie third party. If their just claims and just demands for simply nothing more than their just right# be ignored by other parties, no power on earth can keep the farmer out of the third party. This is my judgment They have rear bed a jHiint where they must have relief, and I think that they have determined that they w ill have it 1 think that it w as unfortunate that the present patties did not pay more atten tion to the appeals of the American far mers in the Fifty-first Congress. We of 1 are hoping for something from the Fifty- second. My observation is that the av erage Congressmen of these latter days anbordinateevery thing toj TIUlTiT’salm and led in prayer and sing ing, in which 2,0U0 male voices follow ed.

The report of tiie Home Mission Board show ed a great enlargement of the work, 4U1 missionaries being employed against 361 last year, distributed.iM follows: 31 among Indians and people of foreign birth, 22 in Cuba, 51 among the negroes and 302 among the whites. The -bap tisms were 5,349, a gain of 872 over last year; admission* to churches, 9,987, against 8,073; Sunday schools organiz ed,424, against 334; churches built, 143, against 84; expended on new dutrehes, $60,473 against $37,323 last year.

Total collections for the last year for foreign missions were $184,342. ,,Virginia was the largest con tributor, having subscribed $17,163.

They tell us we ought not to go into polities. Ldt me tell you officially—not in my capacity as an individual, but as an official—this farmers' organization is as full of politics as an egg is of meat. What are we to do if we are not allowed to go into politics? Pay your taxes and vote as you are told, is the answer you get. There is a different*# in polities and partyism. Politics is the science of gov ernment, and 1 charge you to study politic*. Partyism is a collar around the neck with a brass chain fastened to it. “But,” they cry, “can’t you buy more now than ever before with a dollar?” But where Is the dollar? Where’s the dollar you can buy so much with? That’s what we are Quarreling about. But that’s not the question. It's not the purchasing power of the dollar, but the debt pay ing power that we are con cerned about. Does it pay any more taxes? Does it pay any more interest on your notes arid mortgages? What’s the matter? The contraction of the currency has placed the power of con trolling the money in the hands of the plutocrats to the crushing of the masses We all remember when the circulation was $51 per capita, and we want a Con gress that will give us tiiat amount again. If the present Congress won’t do it, we will elect one that w ill. We believe, as an organization, that we ought to have an open field and a fair chance, and we intend to have it. We went to Congress and asked for re lief. The sub-treaAury bill was pre sented to Congress and nearly scared them to death. How did they treat us? They were the most My-nothing set I ever saw. Finally one prominent poli tician poked his head up above the waves and said t “Your bill is uncon stitutional.” The next week another one did the same, thing, and so on through the whole list. No two of those deliverances were made in the same week. 1 do not say that this was a preconcerted arrangement, but, to say the least, it Was certainly a beauti ful coincidence. Not one of them at tempted to prove Its unconstitutionali- ly. They expected you to believe it un constitutional because they said so. When vou finally pin them down, they say it is unconstitutional because the f overnotctit lias rto right to loud money. s that so? Let us '****. in 1876 Con- gresa appropriated $1,50U,0UU to the 'arty success i caries that the good average CoJl-i VV ^ le *** housew ives of Wil- and the chief end of the average Con-iJ^F 11 u,h1 Uoild (and there are .gjuuaaman wbeirtie cats toTYaVtiiniru** emus ro be U'flat can lie do for the next campaign, And not w hat he can do for the country.” “What »s the most pressing question before the people?” “AH w ant the next Congress to devise gome system and to so change the pres ent financial system of this government as to furnish the country w ith an abun dance of currency to supply the le gitimate demands of the. business of the country, wlih-h we cannot get so long as the currency of the country is con trolled by a few men. I think that this is the paramount question. Silver leg islation would be a step in the right di rection, but we do not believe that free and unlimited coinage would give us all that is needed. We .want it, however, and are going to demand it. We are solid for that, and I do not believe that there is a;man belonging to the indus trial classes of the country w ho w ill sup port any ticket that does not stand sol idly on the platform of unlimited free silver coinage.” “If Mr. Cleveland should be the next Democratic nominee, how would the farmers regard him?” “My judgment is that they would go solidly against Mr* Cleveland. 1 can speak for my own State, and I think that they have been as true and loyal to the Democratic party as any men in the South. They will cfertainly not support Mr. Cleveland. Indeed we are very much opposed to favor any man who cornea from the Eastern States. We are afraid of Wall Street power. We have no particular man in view. I think that the Southern Alliancernen would rather have a clean, solid, patriotic friend of the people from some of the Northwestern States.” “What about the third party conven tion in Cincinnati?” “My idea of it is this. It is called avowedly for the purpose of considering a third party movement. Of course the order as an organization can have noth ing to do w ith it. There will be doubt less Alliancernen in that convention—a sufficient number, at least, if they com mit any errors, to have the enemies of the Alliance attribute it to the order. 1 am therefore In favor of good conserva tive men belonging to the order being present in that convention, with a view er keeping them from committing any ra^h act or doing anything premature. If it does anything at all in my judg ment it should simply ref*r the whole situation to the people in their primary and sovereign capacity.
