Partial Proceedings OF the Wheat
Growers Convention Held at Tur-
ncr's Hall NJ. Louis, Oct 23,

ueF = AihlA nls ADuAh, OOA A1S
The Wheat Growers Convention
hold at St, Louis Oct 23rd 1889 pur-
suant to a call by the Farmers Fed
GRAFTON TO quote from the New York
Snn: "was in its intents and purposes
ono NJ the most important meetings
Ovor held on this continent"
There were delegates present from
the following states: Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Mich
igan, Ohio, Indiana, illinois, Ken
tucky, Tennessee and Oregon. The
convention was called TO order at 2
o'clock p. m. The call was read by
j. p. Limeburner, Secretary, after
which Walter N. Allen, President of
the Farmers Federation, delivered
his address from which we are at
present only able to give extracts but
will subsequently publish the speech
in full
In opening his address Mr.. Allen
alluded to the meeting as being tho
first one OF the kind over called to
meet on this continent. He said:
"We are not here for the purpose OF
donouncing trusts and combines, bat
to meet tho issue Of new systems and
conditions in trade. Realizing our
individual feebleness and the great
Importance Of unity Of action as a
class, we have been called together to
consider tho proposition to delegate
to Spower Of our own creation theex-
elusive right to market the products
OF our farms, and to take such meas
ures as will afford present relief and
future protection to the agricultural
interests of the Mississippi Valley. He
that hath the power to tx the price on
theproduct of another's labor ia the
master, and he who submits is his
slave Liverpool is the master Stu
Rted as we are, one thousand miles
from the seaboard, and three thous-
and miles of ocean voyage to reach
the markets Of Europe; with soil as
productive as the soil of the Nile,
farming in the Mississippi Valley as
u business is becoming less profitable
than in any other country Of the civil
lied world.
The farmer is the only producer
who sends an over supply Of his
wares on the market to be sold by
someone else, and like the goods Of
the bankrupt, at some one else's
prices; and when he dares complain
pf the sacrifice, the answer of the mas
ter is, Overproduction. Overproduc-
tion canLot in justice be wealth for
the nation and slavery for the produ-
Ger.
The huctution in the markets, which
has the appearance Of competition, is
by common consent of the buyers, and
absolutely essential to adjust the sup
ply to the demand; and if there were
but one buyer and distributor of the
food supply Of the world, he would be
compelled, under the present system
10 .,so,.t J., +h;. ,,,.oo.,, 80 to,r,o,.;,,r n.

ernor on taking the chair said: "The
Importance OF this gathering Of agri-
culturists cannot be woll over-estlmat-
ed. A revolution has taken place in
tho management Of all other indus
tries, while The farmer has remained
apOthetic, il not comAtose. While he
has been thus apparently unconscious
competition, demand and supply have
become obsolete terms in the CONNER
cial vocabulary, and syndicates, trnsts
and combinations have been substitute
ed. BY means OF the latter, prices
are not only fixed on manufactures,
transportation, currency and all arti-
cles required by the farmer, but also
the price is sot upon his own products
without regard to his wishes, necessi-
ties or the cost Of production. The
farmer has become commercial idiot
or imbecile, with nothing whatever to
say in naming the price of what he
buys or sells, and as q consequence is
a prey to all other industries, and il a
bankrupt, or soon will be, unless he
shall wake up to his condition. Heis
raising corn, wheat, beef and other
staples at a loss from year TO year"
The speaker then entered elaborately
into statistics TO prove his propositions
quoting extensively from the reports
or the agricultural departments,
State and national and concluded
as follows: Organization to the
farmer is as the shield TO the Greeks;
in his hands II means victory, in other
hands only II means serfdom and
death. Without organization the
farmer is on his knees, a mendicant
humbly asking for such pittance as
the syndicates, trusts and combine
tions choose TO give him, while with
it he will have omnipotent power
hold all these in the hollow of his
hand, and control in his turn Legis-
latures, Congresses, courts and Presi-
dents, as his sceptor will be the life
for 6O,OO0OOO of people. Can he, will
he organized Let this convention
answer"
When Gov Robinson concluded, a
motion prevailed to appoint q COM
mittee Of three on credentials, and a
like committee on permanent organi-
zation and order of business. While
these committees were out Mr. Rob
ert Lindblom, OF Chicago, q member
OF the Chicago Board OF Trade, was
introduced 10 the convention and
made a few remarks of a desultory
character, closing with the announce
ment that he was booked to address
the convention this morning. Mr..
Jacob Martel, Of Indiana, gray-
haired gentleman, created o ripple Of
merriment by propounding to the
chairman the querry: "Will the Ag-
ricultural Department ever be of any
benefit 10 the farmerT Mr.. Lind
blom responded for the chairman by
saying, "1'll answer that fully in my
address tomorrow morning"

mand. Moreover, with a knowledge
Of full supply in the country, and
supply offering in the public markets
and business enough for all, il would
seem inconsistent TO say that there
was any cause for strife or competi-
ton among buyers; and as the sole
object Of a combine is to destroy com
petition, and there being no competi-
tion TO destroy, the suppOsition is,
that there is no settled agreement or
combination between buyers, fixing
the price in the purchase of farm
products. It is an easy matter for
millers or packing houses to respect
lively form trusts and fix the price TO
sell; but it is not practicable, IN our
judgment, 10 create a community Of
interests strong enough TO maintain a
fixed price to buy, for tho reason be-
fore stated, and for the greater reason
that everybody may become buyers
and spectators in farm products, and
you cannot make a combination with
everybody. The testimony taken by
tho United States investigating COM
mittee corroborates the theory chat it
is a unrestrainOd supply and not a
combine that is the cause of the evil
OF low prices.
There is no direct evidence to sup
port the charge of q beef or hog COM
bine, while nearly every witness call
ed before this committee has testified
that there was no competition.
This establishes the major PROPOSE
tion in the promises, and tho infer
ence, that there is no combination
among buyers cannot be set aside
short Of positive proof Of the charge.
We speak the truth OF reason with
out fear of Onmity or the hope of ia
vor. In this we seek only TO discov-
er the true cause of the evil and then
TO oapply the remedy. The buyers
would compete if necessary, and they
would combine if it were to their In
terest, and practicable to do 80.
But it is difficult to see how any inter
est could be benefited by continuing
the present low prices. 1t has al
ready checked the production and if it
had not been for the hope Of better
prices at seed time one year ago it is
questionable if there would have been
enough wheat raised this year in tho
Mississippi valley for home comsup-
tion.
In conclusion Mr.. Allen said:
"The power to establish the value
OF one bushel of American wheat and
Of one barrel Of mess pork, can CON
troll the markets Of the world. This
power is to be found in the centralized
agency of the federated farmers of
the Mississippi Valley, a company
legally chartered, with capital stock
Of twenty million dollars; and, as
your servant this company awaits
your bidding to enter upon it's work
of redemption"

Starving Indians.

Governor Warren, of Wyoming, has
returned to Cheyenne from visit to
the Wind river reservation, where he
learned the following startling facts:
Two thousand Indians, occupying
Wind river reservation, just south of
the Yellowstone National park, in
this territory, are actually in want,
many will die of starvation before
spring. Their beef ration is but three
fourths of a pound per capita, as
against q pound and q half issued to
each Sioux. Then these Indians re-
ceiye their meat ON hoof in the fall,
subject to shrinkage, which is often 80
per cent. Aud. again, tribes on this
reservation one year ago agreed to
waive coffee and sugar rations if the
issue of beef and flour was increased,
but the only portion of the deal con-
Summated was the withdrawal of
coffee and sugar. Their allotment of
-four IS insufficient, and contractors
invariably delay to deliver.
