hOOAt w sSOhs
have watched political econo,
my in this country for 81 years.
and I am perfectly certain that q
great revolution in the minds of
the masses has taken place; above
all, American farmer has for 81
years been swindled, oppressed,
and sucked dry of his hard earn
ings by the blessed protection sys-
tenn, which to him has proved a
curse. The farmer who has per-
haps 20 sheep, and all the wool he
raises may amount to only $40, is
politely and urgently asked to pay
not only the $40 he gets for his
wool, but $50 more money besides
as a pure and simple tax to the
tariff-and- thrust oligerchy if he buys
800 worth of WOODEN goods for
himself and family during the year.
The old Mumbo Jumbo Of home
protection is played out, and the
pretended solicitude for the work
ingmen and higher wages is fraud
and q sham. The country needs
cheaper wooden end cotton clothing
and will haveit without the gracious
leave of the protection oligarcy.-

20 be heard. Dunping. of Missouri. demanded
the previous question. Points OF order were
urged on the slightest provocation. but q young
Southern orator got the floor and went on TO
tell what the South would do IL the woman's
suffering plank wasleft ont He was q ST. John
boy, and had never voted the Democratic
or Republican ticket He did not
know dozen women IN his
State Of Tennessee who asked for the ballot
Without the plank Tennessee would give 10000
Prohibition votes; with it she would poll only
5000. 1t would take the South twenty-five
years with woman suffrage to reach the point in
Prohibition where she is today.
After this came in the neat political work OF
who had opposed the measure in the committee.
aud he announced his adhesion to the
majority report, for he had found
in an experience dating back twenty-five years
thar one Southren man could whip two Yankees.
Atthe conclusion Of bis speech another frantic
effort Sas made By delegates to get the eye Of
the chairman. but be had his men singled out
and il was not time to recognize any ono. so he
called for music by the Herbert quartet, who
sang . song with the refrain
By the worth of woman's tears,
By her sorrow and her fears,
which thrilled the audience. The last stanza
Call women TO the polls.
For there 10 need Of earnest souls
From that on the suffragists had the
convention. although Walter Thomas Mills tried
to check the tide by q vigorous speech for the
amendment A MI. Evans followed him with a
speech for the majority report, recalling the
services women have done prohibition. John
Russell, Of Michigan, and Mr.. Bennett.
of Kansas. spoke for suffrage. Miss
Willard then used her arts Of oratory effectual-
ly by referring to Sam Small, who represented
in his adhesion to this plank the kind. chivalric
soul of the South. The other amendment, she
said, was the Ohio idea. which had been dis
carded by that State, and Maine, that
bad prohibition for fifty years, still
disfrsnchised woman. Miss Willard and
Sam Small then did q bit of acting
thusiasm. The previous question was then
called. and. amid cries of ''yeas andAnays,S sup
ported principally by Walter Thomas Mills, and
loud demands for recognition from all parts of
the house, the minority report was put to vote,
under whip and spur, and defeated. On q call
for division just GO arose in favor of the
other amendment, out of 1.029 delegates. The
rest arose en- masse for the majority report.
The latter was then adopted with cheers, wav-
ing OF hankerchiefs, canes and hats. IL Wac q
deafenine noise. and continued for some time.
c. V. Grandson, of North Carolina, offered q
resolution reading THAT we hold that
all persons are born free and equal,
and should be made secure in their
civil and political rights" He got IL through
with some difficulty. A Dakota delegate then
offered the following: THAT we condemn the
Democratic and Republican parties for per-
sistsntly denying the right Of self-government
to the 600,00 people Of Dakota" This was
adopted, after q little opposition, and the conven-
ton adjourned until 8 o'clock.
