Realizing the Extortions Pracsiced by

Washington County Farmers Resolve
to Have Their Rights.
General saltwater Sfftings and Per-
SonaI Movements.

The Washington County Farmers ALI
ance met yesterday in the county court
room at Saltwater, J. B. Taft OF Grant in
the chair and John Kitty of Saltwater
township officiating as secretary. The COM
mittee on credentials reported the following
delegates entitled to seats: From Baytown,
Newton McKusick, 7. P. James; Grant, T.
P Ramsden, John Thelander, Charles
Macy, Fred Diethert, William Pindars;
Oakdale, Albert Wier, J. H. Lehman, Jr.,

Peter Larson, Christopher Reed, Gus Holm,
Andrew Richmond; Point Douglas, L. P.
James. Beside the regular delegates there
was considerable attendance of farmers,
who were led to expect farmer speech by
the president of the state alliance, Mr..
Sprague, editor of the Farmers Alliance.
Mr.. Kitty, secretary of the local alliance,
showed a letter from George w. Haigh.
ST. Paul, which read: MIR. Sprague
had to talk at Waseca Saturday night, and 1
don't know whether he can reach you
Monday" After the hope of an address
was given up, the alliance put itself to
what business was before it. The county
superintendent of schools, Mr.. James, as
chairman of the committee on bylaws and
constitution, reported as follows, the pre-
amble being given verbatum:
Whereas, The prosperity of a nation is in
proportion TO the valuation of its produc-
tons; and this nation being, to a large eX-
tent. an agricultural nation. its laws in con-
formity with the spirit of the doctrine pro-
mulgated by its founders, viz: laws securing
the greatest good TO the largest number,
should in no instance burden industrial pur-
suits, but further and protect them. Fully real
iZing that the eXtortion of monopolies and
acuteness of corporations and capitalists,
has shifted nearly the whole burden of
economy from themselves to the agricultural
element and the laborer. Therefore,
Resolved, To secure to ourselves the just
reward of our own labor; to secure better
legislation, both state and national, and to
secure to future posterity fair share
from the profits of their own production, we,
the farmers of Washington county, form this
alliance.
Here followed the reading of the
bylaws and constitution, which were
adopted with slight amendments. Some dis
cussion as to Irvine binding resulted in affirma-
tive action on a motion that the president
appoint committee of three to correspond
with dealers and report at the next meeting,
not only as to Irvine, but regarding prices for
rakes and mowers. The president named as
such committee Messrs. Stephen Powell,
Newton Mcintosh and Andrew Richmond
The alliance then adjourned to meet at the
court house on the afternoon of Monday,
