Combination. by Farmers.
n. 8. Picay une.

One OF the causes leading up to the
cotton convention of Wednesday last
being tina. fight made by the National
Farmers Alliance for proper tare on
cotton bagging that they might thus
meet the iute bagging monopoly, It Will
be appropriate to give brief outline OIL
the origin, growth and work OF thu AL
lance. The order was modestly organ
lied in Texas about eight years since as
A local protection and to develop the
best interest Of the farmers OF that par
ticular section. The good results to the
farmers were so manifest that three
years later the organization was made a
State body, which has since grown, I'M
til it is now planted IN all the Southern
States. and organized three years since
as O national body-with connections in
almost every neighborhood in the South.
There are cooperative stores in many
towns and eighboIhoods under the con-
troll of the local unions, which are I'M
der the supervision of the State al.
liances. There are also number OF
manufacturing interests now being op-
Grated in Texas and other States by the
State and local unions. There are also
local newspapers with several State pa
pers and a rational organ. The last ma
tional meeting was held at Meridian,
Miss, where union was effected be-
tween tho Alliance and the Agricultural
Wheel, which has recently been ratified
by the local membership, and in Decem-
Der next the formal union will be made
at st. Louis, Mo-, Of the two bodies, I'm.
der the name of the National Farmers
and Laborers' Union. which will repre-
sent the cotton growers Of the Sonth
and the grain growers of the Northwest,
who together represent the great pro-
ducing population OF America-and will
thus become the most powerful agricul-
tural association OF the United States.
Official statistics place the agricultural
population at II per cent. of the total
population. which offers the opportunity
| for organization of this interest into q
| mammoth body with great power for
good. The new body, when organized
| at st. Louis, will represent an actual
| membership Of 2,150,000, which is large
| " the growth in the last three years.
| The new national body will aupercede
/ the old organizations and will he Otii-
