FARMERS NATIONAL CONGRESS-.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Aug. 29.-At
the third and last days session OF the
Farmers national congress yesterday
vote was taken TO select a state IN which
the next meeting should be held, and
Missouri was selected. The fruit of the
Farmers congress embodies itself IN
the work of the committee on resolu-
tions. This committee has held long
sessions, and the discussions were ear
nest, calm and dignifed. From the first
vote il was evident the committee was
divided on strict lines of the two systems
OF political economy now being discussed
at all the political meetings in the coun-
try. One part believed in the doctrines
of the Republican party and the other
declared that the depression was great
and general, and that remedies were
needed greater than the increase of the
volume of the circulating medium and
great reform in the tariff. A great many
resolutions were acted upon, some of
them of very radical character, but the
following are the only ones which re-
ceived the approval of the committee:
Resolved, that We demand of congress
most liberal appropriations for the I'M
ways which shall make them instead OF
disaster and destruction TO large sections
OF our country, useful as great national
highways for commerce and trade.
We demand the unlimited coinage of
silver. the abolition of national banking
laws, the refusal of our national govern
ment to extend charters of national banks
now in existence and the issuance OF full
legal tender treasury notes In lien OF ma
tional bank notes III sufficient volume to
meet the business demands of the United
States and the constantly increasing de-
mand of trade.
Resolved, that we are in favor of
constitutional amendment making United
States senators elective by the people.
We believe that the farmer is paying
more than his just proportion OF taxes,
therefore we favor a graduated Income
tax law TO the end that the incomes OF
the wealthy may bear their share of the
governmental support.
Resolved, that we demand OF con-
gress the amendment of the patent law
so that the exclusive use of an invention
be limited to ten years.
Resolved, that at the Columbian eX-
position to be held IN Chicago in 1898,
the agricultural and horticultural inter-
ests of the United States should be most
prominently and grandly represented,
and 10 that end il is recommended that
the various state legislatures make liber-
al appropriations for the creditabIe eXhi-
bItion of their agricultural and horticul-
turai resources, and the possibilities of
their respective states.
