i. p. FEArHRRsTON,

Committee on part OF n, Il. A. u l. U.
On motion Of Brother Page, Of Vir-
glnia, the council expressed regret that
the courtesies extended to US by the
Board of Trade, the Commercial Club
and the citizens Of Indianapolis, while
we highly appreciate and for which we
are deeply grateful, should have been
marred by the hostile attitude Of many
of the daily papers, which have persisted
In misrepresenting our actions, though
we had press committee willing and
ready to furnish them the truth.
The report of the cotton committee
was received and adopted:
Whereas, The cotton growers of the
south are greatly oppressed because of the
depressed price of the raw material, caused
in measure from combines and specula-
tions in futures, but mainly from an unjust,
oppressive and discriminating financial
system and high protective tariff on man
ufactursd cotton material; and
Whereas, Il is now alleged by speculators
and combines that over production is the
cause Of depression in prices, when in fact
we have reason to know that the cause is
not OVerproduCtion, but underconsumptiOn,
caused by inability to buy, resulting from
advanced prices of manufactured articles of
cotton and other causes as stated above; and
Whereas, II has been recommended by
members Of the Farmers Alliance in several
states in the cotton belt, that the acreage be
decreased one-third by the growers, and
knowing as we do that the price of the raw
material cannot be affected by the loyal AL
lance men alone of the many thousand
growers decreasing their acreage, while in
fact the effort to thus reduce the quantity
would actuste thousands of growers to in
crease their acreage in cotton;
Therefore, as one of the remedies to Sc
cure an advance in raw cotton material by
oheapening the manufactured products and
thereby increase the ability of the masses
to consume, be it
Resolved, That the National Farmers AL
lance and Industrial Union, representing
the best interests of the producers and con-
sumers of America alike, do respectfully
ask that Congress entirely relieve manu-
faotured articles of cotton from any tariff
duty whatever, and place the same on the
free list Of American products.

plan by which the worlds greatest pro-
ducers of the south's greatest staple, cot
ton, may be able to some extent, at least,
to control the quantity, consumption,
marketing time and price of said crop.
Resolution by Brother Butler, Of North
Carolina, adopted, that being in posses
sion of facts that are thoroughly reliable,
which warrant US in the belief that
false estimate has been purposely made
of the present crop Of cotton, we feel
safe In guaranteeing better prices if cot
ton be held for sixty days.
On motion, the committee of one mem
Der from each cotton state was continued,
with instructions to pursue their work
further and report to this body at It's an
nual session.

The committee on finance, to whom
was referred 80 much of the presidents
message as related to the finances Of the
order, and also the financial part of the
report of the executive board beg leave
to make the following partial report:
The committee has examined the books
of the secretary treasurer as carefully as the
limited time at its disposal would permit,

ed, that the books are neatly and correctly

The advocate., 1892-01-13

(d), We believe that the money or the
country should be kept as much as possible
in the hands of the people, and hence we de-
mand that all national and state revenues
shall be limited TO the necessary expenses
of the government economically and hon
estly administered.
6. We demand the most rigid, honest and
just state and national government control
and supervision of the means of public
communication and transportation, and IL
this control and supervision does not re-
move the abuse now existing, we demand
the government ownership of such means of
communication and transportation.
Z. We demand that the Congress of the
United States submit an amendment to the
constitution providing for the election of
United States Senators by direct vote of the
people of each state.
Unanimously adopted by rising vote,
the only change being to substitute inthe

word "loan," and the word "tax for the
word "interest"
Realizing that the action Of the mem
bers of the Fifty-second Congress who
were elected by the aid Of Alliance con-
stituancies will have an important in
fluence upon the welfare Of our beloved
order, we respectfully and earnestly re-
quest all Representatives In said Congress
so elected to decline to enter into any
party caucus called to designate q candi-
date for the Office Of speaker, unless ad-
herence to the principles Of the Ocala
platform are made test of admission to
said caucus.

Labor were escorted to the speakers

Whereas, The Clothing Exchang of Roches-
ter has locked out their employees, depriving
them of the right to live;
And whereas, The said combine has arrest
ed the officers of the Knights of Labor on
trumped-up charges, and before packed
jury convicted the master workman, one
James Hughes, for doing his duty to his
fellowmen;
Therefore be it resolved, That we con-
denim the action of the Rochester clothing
combine for depriving their former en-
ployes from doing lawful business.
And be it further resolved, That We call
upon all fair minded people to let the goods
Of these unfair and un-American manufac-

demands and adopted:
Whereas We, the National Farmers Alli-
ance and Industrial Union, in Supreme
K Council assembled, do find in considering
the great questions that relate to the deVel-
4 opment OF the country in its material and
I industrial interest, none of greater magni
tude or Of more vital Importance than that

of all classes of our citizens;
And whereas, There is now vacancy on
this board of the member from the south;
therefore be it
I Resolved, That we recommend and most
respectfully request and urge upon the pres
ident of the United States that he appoint
TO this vacancy the Hon. D. P. Duncan, who
holds the position of chairman of the South
"a Carolina railroad commission, and who has
M been on said commission for the past nine
" vtsyears, thereby having had long experience
and training for this work.
2. The recommendation that have al
ready been fled with the president from all
classes of citizens, and from all sections of
the country, are of such a nature and kind
as to leave no question Of doubt as to his
qualifications and ability to fill acceptably
this high and most responsible position. We
further ask his appointment as representa-
tive Of the entire agriculture interest of our
common country.
