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

The contest is coining, and 1 say let it
come. 1 Indieve we have God and right
on our side.
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

. Relief must come from the National
Legislature. To get it the |M*rsoniie| of
that body will have to lie largely

they are true w ords.

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

The officers elected were: President,

arnor of Georgia, C. L. Cocke, of Vir
ginia, Jas. A. Hoyt, of South Carolina,

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

22 schools, 823 pupils, 67 churches and

thriiio-L v> fh study as they have during
the pa*t tlilrlv months, I want to say
to tin* man w ho does Dot study the great
questions of the day that he is going to
get left.
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. In other words
I do not think that the conference
Bo hefter mnli i ihi 1 sirnT know so well
how to prepare. And the guests will
receive a Williston welcome, and there
is no better under the sun than tiiat.
