all classes Of people as the new farmers
organization known as the Alliance. Ger
talnly no organization has grown with
such rapldlty In comparatively so short
a period OF time; and the question will
naturally arlso what Is 10 bo accomplish.
cd by this great movement on the part OF
iarmersH lta object, mainly; Is 10 enable
the farmers Of these United States 10 betJ
ter protect their interests and maintain
the struggle for existence against the en-
cFoachmonts OF organized capital and the
rapacloua greed and ayarlce OF the specu-
latlve portion Of mankind.
This protection Is tho more easily at.
tainable, as has been constantly demon
stated on the part Of capital, through
organization and cooperation The farm
era, because OF their isolated condition
and slownesa 10 take advantage Of organ
lied action, have been an easy and willing
prey 10 all forms Of combination ON the
part OF other avocatlons and professions.
Like the soldier with one arm, they have
fought trusts, syndlcatea, combinations
and monopolios lone handed until opprea-
slcns OF every conceivable character have
driven them almost 10 the verge Of dlspair
and destltutlon,
After years and generations Of laborl-
GUS toll, with the sad spectacle OF con-
stantly growing poorer and poorer, and
this too, In the face Of increased pEoduc-
tlons, the farmers have finally como 70
the conclusion that there is something
radically wrong with our commercial,
financial and governmental system. In
order TO correct these evils Of oppression
that seem TO bear with special severity
on tho agricultural community, they have
Joined the Alliance and kindred organiza-
tlons TO try what virtue and power there
Ia In united action and corporation.
The principles and advantages to bo
derived from cooperative efforts on the
part Of labOrew are by no means new and
untried. AS far back as forty or fifty
years ago the germ Of cooperation had
lts birth on English SOIL among the poor
and distressed labOrers Of that ocean
bound country.
On being ground down by the mercllesa
power Of monopoly and organized capital
TO the brink Of starvation and desperation,
the mechanics factory hands and wage
earners generally conceived the idea Of
combining their little mites In co-opera-
tive enterprises totheir mutual advantage,
prosperity and happiness. In the cities
Rochdale and Leeds (England) notably,
may be found numerous examples Of the
success Of cooperative efforts among the
lOwly and needy, when wisely directed.
In 1885, according to the report OF the
chief registrar Of the cooperative sOcle-
ties of Great Britain, nearly one thousand
societies made report TO the central board,
giving a total membership for that year
Of 0s7, ,4s2, with salos aggregatlng nearly
$5OO,0O0,OOO, Upwards OF 10000 are en-
gagged In dstrlbutlve cooperation in
Leeds alone.
Their branch stores are 80 numerous
and increasing so rapidly that regular

men, and particularly as believers In
cooperation, TO seek some method In
accord with our principles.
Looking again At our Insurance reports
to see where the money goes; we find Inn
menae salaries paid, single Companies
paying 25,50and even rs thousand dollars
year to a single officer Companies pay
Ing from 100 thousand TO 375 thousand
dollars as salaries alone, and building
palaces for the accommodation Of their
officers as can be seen In Kansas City, ST..
Joe. or nearly any OF our large cities.
Other millions go in large commissions
and expenses Of every character. This
may do for the rich, but for the poor
farmers oftho South and West, living in
their cabins who have TO content them
selves with the barest necessities OF life
and ont Of whose pockets comes the great
share Of the money TO support this ex-
travagance, we feel sure better method
can be found.
The effort is being made in every d.
rectlon to remedy II, by local Mutual
Companies which have In the main
proven successful and satisfactory; but
like all purely mutual movements, lack
the element Of strength and stability
just az one Alliance or Grange or Farm
ers Club may exert beneficial effect in
their immediate neighborhood. To secure
the truest and best results, we must bind
them together in one fraternal, financial
and political band. So must an insur-
ance plan, TO produce the best results,
seeks to consolidate and combine the best
features Of our mutual cooperative Com
paniesin 20 one complete system which
shall combine the simplicity and economy
ofthe local Companies with the strength,
stability and safety Of a National one.
In Dakota for the past three years the
territorial alliance has conducted very
successful insurance work, through spec
ial department in the alliance under the
charge Of a superintendent Of insurance,
elected at the same time the other officers
were. We have furnished our members
Fire, Hail and Life insurance on the mu-
tual plan, at very low cost and giving
complete satisfaction, while at the same
time, It has been the means Of largely
building up and cementing the alliance
together.
The success attending the work attract
ed the attention of alliance officers and
workers in other states and Of the nation,
and at their request tho following plan
for a national insurance system was pro-
posed and presented at st. Louis during
the recent meeting and met with very
general approval from the state and ma
tional officers and 1t is proposed TO make
a strong effort to have It adopted uniform
ly throughout the entire United States.
PLAN
Establish National Insurance de-
partment for the organization with head
quarters at Washington where the head
quarters of the Alliance is now located,
to have general charge Of thework, under
direction Of the Rational executive. A
National superintendent Of Insurance Sc
lected to act with National Board Of
Insurance, to consist Of a state superin-

State Department being asked to place

share Of the capital stock. Tho business
will be transacted upon practically the

penses are paid and 10 per cent. on the
capital stock paid, the balance will bo re-
turned to the policy holder, and the small
amount represented by 10 per cent. on

business would be so inAnlteslmal that
II would not be felt and would be much
more than compensated by tho additional
convenience in enabling us to enter all
the states mt once without waiting for
tho organization Of large number Of
new companies or for the tedious process
Of securing a favorable change In the
laws Thus while each state would be
practically independent and conduct ita
own business and keep lbs own money
within It's own borders and have the con-
troll Of It's own agents In spreading the
Alliance work, II would also have the
advantage Of the experience and backing
Of the National company, and In case Of
unforeseen emergencies, It's financial as'
slstance, and particularly soin organizing
and introducing the work, and II would
also be valuable In securing uniformity
in rates and laws in the various states.
To sum up, the plan would keep our
Insurance money at home instead OF
sending to the east and Europe as now
Il would save us from 30 TO 90 per cent
In premiums we would secure more just
and honorable treatment, our own men
would be trained and educated in bust
ness methods and encouraged to extend
their efforts into other needed lines OF
cooperation. II will have strong In
huence in building up and solldifylng
our organization; and finally Il Is ap-
preaching the plan Of Government In
surance which in my mind Is the only
true method.

accounted for some notes taken for a sub
scription to the Covington and Macon; that
he had misappropriated Sunday school
money, and that he had never accounted
for $50 belonging to a grange which he Or
ganized in Walton county. Each of these
he said was an infamous lie.
Just as he began this denunciation Col.

the audience and took upon himself the
authorship of the talk, and declared he could
prove what he said
