evidence OF the intereat you take In the
work and In the good cause we represent,
for | would not pay you so poor a COM
pliment as to suppose the few paltry dol
lars Invested In insurance would call to-
gether this earnest, intelligent and patriot
lc convention Of the best citizens Of the
twin states.
II Is the principle we all hold dear, the
determination 10 enfranchise ourselves
from the grasp Of monopoly, one of
the most dangerous forms Of which our
Insurance Department was organized to
combat, and II is because your hearts are
in this reform movement as well as your
interests, that you are here to-day, and !
am proud TO greet and welcome you.
Our hail business for theyear 1880, has
been eminently satisfactory; when we
consider the general depression In oil de-
partments Of trade owing TO the severe
drouth, particularly as our line Of busi-
ness, insuTing the growing crops against
hail, was necessarily affected moreserlous-
ly than any other line Of business from
the very nature Of things.
As soon as the drouth began to effect
the crops we advised our agents to work
very cautiously, as ii was our mission to
protect our members crops, not to collect
their money without returning an equiva-
lent; Qf we could have given drouth in
suance, we should have hada bonanza, Of
business at least)
And when failure Of crops became
certainty, we practically withdrew all our
solicitors just at the time when we should
have been doing the best work.
ItEas serious disappointment to us,
for we had confidently counted upon
doubling onr 1888 record and should un-
questionably have done so If we had been
blessed with a good crop.
However we succeeded in practically
holding our own, there being only few
hundred difference In the number Of poll
cies issued in 'SS and $50.
Our losses for the year, nearly 1000,
are numerically almost identical with the
1883 losses, but in amount, owing to poor
quality the crops, only foot up about q,
viz: $73,5OO in 1883 and $4S,50O for 1880.
The collections for similar reason have
been slow, but in the main are tolerably
satisfactory; the fact of our having paid
our losses in full, promptly, is the best
evidence of that.
When you take into consideration the
fact that all our insurance is taken on the
credit system, notes due in the fall with
out interest, the only security being on
the crop, and that crop often being
total failure, and the further fact that in
our three years experience with over 25,-
600 notes TO collect and quarter Of
million dollars in cash collected and paid
out to our farmers, and nearly $4,000 re-
turned to them as rebates or dividends,
we never employed field collector, never
sued member or foreclosed a mortgage,
also that Of $500 hail losses not one have
ever been litigated or contested, and every
one has been paid promptly and satisiac-
torily; and it becomes evident to the
most superficial observer that our mem
bership must be actuated by a stronger
motive than the purely selfish one Of f. |
nancial debtor and creditor, insured and
insurer.
The truth Is, we are part Of the greAt |

OuF Duslhebs rs SHOWN ny the secre-
tarys report accompanying this, Is in a
strong Gourishi0g condition
We have since our last annual meeting
arranged to place our hail work In Iowa,
and hope to do good business there this
year. We also assisted our brethren In
Minnesota TO start Il State Company there,
that has proven Of great benefit to them,
both in furnshingsafe insurance Mt low
rate (lb cents an acre) but especially In
building up and greatly stimulating ALI
ance organization and revival. There
has also been established a North Dakota
Department at jamestown under charge
Of +. H, Fancher, that has charge Of all
our Hail, Fire, and Life work in that
state, and bids fair to control the Alliance
business there.
We have returned as per instructions Of
last annual meeting the money collected
from 1888 notes (part Of IL has been paid
out since January I, aud does not appear
in annual statcmenD; II has necessltated
vast amount of labor and expense and
II is doubtful II II pays as we'll as to let IL
remain In general fund.- and to assess that
much less; for instance, our assessment
for $50 was 20 cents an acre; rebate on 'SS
work 2 cents an acres an assessment Of 19
cents per acre would have suillced, and
been much less trouble and expense;
however, the members have the right TO
decide how ii shall be done and the olIlc-
ers' duty is simply to carry out lnstruc-
tions.
The outlook for 1890 is encouraging,
and we trust our crops will be such that
we shall all be willing and glad to insure
them.
Our fire work for the year has been
success; no complaints reach us against
the fairness and equity Of our adjust
ments.
The losses are always promptly paid in
full, and II Il had not been for the disas-
trous prairie fires April 2, we should have
had handsome surplus for dividend
but as 1t is, there can be no dividend
made this year, but we have this satlsfac-
tion, the cost TO our members has been
less than In any other reliable company.
The losses have always been promptly
adjusted and paid in full, which is the
principal point in all insurance; and our
expenses, which is the only thing we
have control Of, have been kept within
ten per cent Of the premium receipts,
about one-third what II usually costs.
We expect to greatly increase our fire
business the coming year, and expect to
place 1t in many other states.
A national plan Of insurance was pre-
pared and presented at st. Louis to the
officers of the National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, both north and
south, and to most Of the officers OF the
State Alliance and was almost without
single exception approved by them, and
an invitation extended to us TO introduce
our work at our earliest convenience,
which we are now arranging to do, and
trust that at our next annual session we
may be able TO report wider sphere Of
usefulness successfully entered upon.
The president Of the State Alliance at
our request instructed the finance COM
mittee Of the State Alliance TO examine
our statement and compare 1t with our
books, and their report will accompany
the secretary's statement.

Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1890-08-30
Lover Of Concord,

In some paper lately-some paper,
in fact, that is neither a newspaper
nor an organ-we observed that our
estimable and amiable county commits
sioner, William Orr, of Barton, had
visited the Office of a paper, not news
paper, nor an organ-and agreed with
the editor that personal controversies
Ill papers, newspapers or organs are
not enjoyable, etc.
Both the editor, or publisher, or
proprietor, and Mr.. Orr are mistaken
in supposing that controversies are
"personal.' On the contrary, they
are journalistic when between sheets,
papers, newspapers and organs.
Both are right, however, when, for
instance, an organ, such as the
Homecoming ,Star, holds the biggest
linguistic club. In such case Il news
paper especially-not an organ, is
quite apt to be mashed on peace if
not stuck on fraternity.
SO that
If one would go the proper way to pacify
Society.
To bring in the millennium and put stop
to strife,
Get "a lot of feeble newspapers of every known
variety,
And bid them meet and teach the world
the genter way in life.
Get the newspaper in Frostburg to deprecate
pugnacity,
An Eckhart lady orator-spealler of much
motion;
Add a water politician so renowned for his
vivacity,
And gay walking delegate from the wilds
ofOcean.
The gentle Gallo spirit which objects to

con the part of other nations) will come in

You'll arrange for Arbitration with due legal

And annihilate H. w. Webb with his
