RESOLUTIONS.

We, the anti-subtreasury members of
the National Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union, recognizing the grave
and responsible duties resting upon US
as farmers and citizens and members of
our beloved order, the Farmers Alli-
ance, hereby present for the careful
consideration of our brother Alliance
farmers, the following preamble and
resolutions:
Whereas, the Farmers Alliance has
been organized to the end that its men,
bers might become educated in the
science Of economical government, aud
that we might become more united in
our action, having been divided through
the influences Of the war, while we
have ever been united in interest; and
Whereas our beloved order, the Far
mers' Alliance, was founded for the
express purpose as set forth in our con-
stitution to bring about the above most
important results, and that this educa-
ton and union shoald be brought about
in a strictly non-partisan sense and
manner; and
Whereas We declare to the world in
our constitution that the Alliance
would ever advocate ''equal rights to
all and special favors to none;" and
Whereas, We declared to the world
through the Alliance that we would
make no war upon any of the legiti-
mate interests Of our country" and
Whereas, We were assured when We
entered the organization that no one
should be ostracised for opinions sake,
and refused admittance into or turned
out Of the order on account Of any be-
liefh might hold on political ques-
tions; and
Whereas, We felt assured that this
organization would be directed and con-
trolled by farmers who were honest
men, and who would labor to unite the
farmers of our common country who
were divided by the war; anu
Whereas, We nov find that the
purposes and objects OF the order have
been defeated and the organization de-
fiected and turned from its original
purpose and intention in the following
manner and ways:
l. By violating the plainest principles
and declarations ofour constitution, by
advocating and declaring in favor of
the sub-treasury aid land loan scheme
and the government ownership ofrail-
roads.
,. BY debarriug persons from men,
bership aid office for opinions sake.
8. BY putting men in important
offices and keeping them there, who
are known and have proved themselves
to be dishonest, mercenary and corrupt,
and have continued them in such
offices.
4. BY falsely end maiiciously denoun-
cling the just ard honest chosen repre-
sentatiyes Of the people who have been

Few children can be induced to take
physic without a struggle, and no
wonder-most drugs are extremely
nauseating. Ayers Pills. on the con-
trary, being sugar-coated, are eagerly
swallowed By the little ones, and are,
therefore, the favorite family medicine.

Pleasant Purgative Pellets. They are
tiny, sugar-coated, purely vegetable
pills as pleasant as confectionery to the
taste, and acting upon the stomach
and liver gently but efectually, and as
naturally as Nature herself. For sick
headache, indigestion, billousness, con-
stipation, and all the resulting dis
eases, no laxative equal to them has;
ever been discovered.

HUBBARD, RANDOLPH COUNTY, Mo-,
August -, 1891. !
To the Members Of the Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union, and of
the Farmers and Laborers' Union
OF the United States:
BEOTHERS:-This communication is
for The purpose of informing you that
there will be held in the city of st.
Louis, State of Missouri, on the third
Tuesday l5th day of September, 1891.
meeting Of the Alliance brothers of
q issS Stasss @ho are in accord
with the resolutions passed al meet
ing recently held in the city Of Fort
Worth, Texas.
The objects of the Fort Worth meet
ing are fully set out in the resolutions
, adopted by that body hereto appended.
The undersigned Were elected an ex-
ecutive committee to make all arrange
ments necessary for the convention re-
fecred to above.
We have corresponded with the gen.
eral managers of a number.of railroads,
and find that they are willing to give
greatly reduced rates upon their roads
to all delegates attending this meeting.
A basis Of representation will be fixed
at three delegates from each and every
county in the jurisdiction of the Ma
tional Alliance.
Reduced hotel rates will be secured
in the city ofS Louis, and all mem
bers Of the order are cordially invited to
take part in making this manifestation
of the farmers of this country a grand
success.
This meeting, as will be seen from
the Fort Worth resolutions, is a protest
on the part of thelovers Of the constitu-
ton of the Alliance against seeing that
organization prostituted by body Of
men who have no interest in farming
and whose love for the organization is
limited by the amount of personal gain
they can get OUT OF lC.
This is an effort on the part Of the
conservative members and real farmers
of our order to emancipate the Farmers
Alliance from the control of scheming
politicians and designing demagogues.
That we will succeed in this effort we
entertain nc doubt,
We especially ask that all newspapers
in the United States will reproduce this
communication with the appended reso-
lutions.
Communications addressed to Hon.
W. S. McAllister, Canton, Miss; Hon.

We were cashed; .'-.
And thus we marched along
With shout and martial song
All unabashed-
Two days Of finest weather
Held our band together
On the trail;
A frigid, drizzlinR rain
Then changed our Joy to pain,
And we turned tail. ...
Alas! what had we done?
Each had his little gun
And nothing more; .....
Wherever we applied
For q chance to get inside
They shut the door. ...
"Show Us the scalps," they said,
"Of Iniuns that are dead .
Because Of you, a.
And then We'll let you in
And stuff you to the chin"
What could we do!
Thus we were fed with sneers,
And warmed with cruel jeers
Or heartless smiles, ,.'

Our leader blithely cried.
"Nor shell nor shot

Beneath the MONDAY sun;
It made US smile
To think the while
Our foemen they had none.
But ohl how soon
We changed our tune ;
That fateful New Years dayl
Those frozen balls,
Stored in the stalls,
Were not at all like|play.
Our lesson was bought
Vita the first onslaught,
For the volley that laid us low,
With painful thumps
And blue black bumps,
Was avolley of frozen snow.

Our twelve men to their ten;
And now you know
Why this was so.
