President LouCk's Message.

Since assembling one year ago our or
ganization has met with an irreparable
loss. Our beloved president has gone TO-
receive his reward Of well done, good and
faithful servant. We VIII miss his wRrm
fraternal greeting, his encouraging words,
his earnest "Gud bless you,D his WiBs,.
conservative counsel and 1T no time IN
our history didswe nsed ~ mUFe tlsan
now. The death Of Brother Z. L. Pelk
at critical time in our history was not
only a great loss to our order and the
hosts Of organized labor of the nation; it
was national loss. His work will live
long ard bear fruit as it is doing daily.
We will best comply with his wishes by
pressing forward to victory the cause he
loved better than life, and for which he
was willing to sacrifice the comforts Of
home, the prospect Of wealth, aye, even
life itself in his devotion to our demands.
We cannot doubt that his spirit will be
with us during this session. May each
and every one present be imbued with
his zeal, devotion and self-sacrifcing
spirit and all will be we'll. AS national
organization we have been passing
through crucial test, winnowing pro-
cess, separation Of the wheat from the
chat and foul seeds that grew up with
the order. The result will be reduction
in numbers, but great improvement in
quality.
In its incipiency in the various organ
izstions now united in the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union |
we realized that there was something
wrong. We began our work by cropping
in the dark, as it we're, our attention be-
ing directed chiefly to relief through Co
operative efforts in buying and selling,
with the social, educational and political
features as secondary considerations.
Combined capital and experience against
US has made it difficult to make much
progress in that direction. Many were
induced to join for selfish financial bene-
fits, who would not have joined for other
reasons, and thus they became interested
in the great educational work which has
caused the present upheaval in the ma
ton. We have learned, and the census
reports Of 1890 affirm the proposition, that
the trouble Is not with the production of
wealth, but with its unjust distribution
through special privileges conferred on

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL.
The Last Annual Meeting at Memphis,
Tennessee,

Tennessee.
The supreme council Of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union met at
Memphis, Tennessee, on Tuesday, Ne
vember Is. The business transacted
was simply the regular routine business
Of the annual session. There were q few
things, Of course, not down on the pro-
gram, to which reference is made else
where. We had made arrangements
with Mrs. Diggs to furnish complete
report of the proceedings, but up to the
hour Of going to press the report had not
arrived. The new officers elected for the
ensuing year are as follows:
President, Fl. L. Loucks, Of South
Dakota; Vice President, Marion Butler,
Of North Carolina; Secretary Treasurer,
L. x. Taylor Of Tennessee. The following
were elected on .he sKsouEiys boards 4.
Leonard, Missouri; Mann Page, Virginia;
/. e. Dean, New York; Il. q. Demming,
Of Pennsylvania.
The committee on demands submitted
it's report, which it will be observed is
q reiteration of the demands adopted by
the Omaha convention. The report of
the committee was adopted and is as fol-
lows:
Finance demand national cur
rency, safe, sound and flexible, issued by
the general government only, full legal
tender for all debts, public and private;
and that without the use Of banking cor
porations just, equitable and efficient
means Of distribution direct to the people
at a tax not to exceed per cent. be pro-
vided as set forth in the treasury
plan Of the Farmers Alliance or some
better system; also by payments in dis.
charge Of its obligations for public i'm
provements.
(G(-We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver and gold at the
legal rates Of 16 to l.
Owe demand that the amount Of
circulating medium be increased to at
least $50 per capita, exclusive of legal
reserves.
Owe demand q graduated income
tax.
(@-That our national legislation
shall be 80 framed in the future a. not
to build up one industry at the expense
of another.
Owe believe that the money Of the
country should be kept as much as pos
sible in the hands OF the people, and
hence we demand all national and state
revenue shall be limited to the necessary
expenses Of the government, economic
ally and honestly administered.
Owe demand that postal savings
banks be established by the government
for the safe deposit of the earnings of the
people and to facilitate exchange.
Land-The land, including all the
natural resources of wealth, is the herit-
age Of all the people, and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes,
and alien ownership Of land should be
prohibited. All land now held by rail
roads and other corporations in excess Of
their actual needs and all lands now
owned by aliens should be reclaimed by
the government and held for actual set
tiers only.
Transportation transportation being

THE ALLTANCR DEMANDS.

THE ALLTANCE DEMANDS.
Our demands having been adopted and
affirmed so unanimously, and been 30
thoroughly discussed before the public,
| do not deem it necessary at this time
to enter into any discussion on their
merits. The only change / would sUg-
gest would be the slight ones necessary
to make them conform to the demands
adopted by the great industrial confer
ence, held at st. Louis last February, In
which your representatives took an active
official part, and to the support Of which
we, as body, were pledged.
How to secure their enactment into
law seems.to be question on which
there n difference Of opinion, and an
oflipial declaration by this body might be
an aid NY own Judgment is very en-
phatic on the following points:

them.
2. Our demands will not be respected
until political parties are convinced that
we are in earnest.
3. Political parties will Judge our
earnestness by our votes rather than our
words. If we can be side-tracked on
minor issues, they will smile at our re-
quests; il we can be induced to postpone
action by appealing to sectional hatred,
they will but despise US. II we con-
tinue as citizens to support political
parties that not only ignore our de-
mands, but openly fight them, they win
treat our demands and ourselves with
the contempt we deserve. The time haa
arrived when we must decide between
our principles and our partisanship. Our
great educational work will count for
naught If, after we have learned the
truth, we fail TO practice it, and in no way
can We 30 utterly fail in living and acting
the truth as In knowing it and failing to
record it at the ballot box.
Truth is the epitome Of all that the
great Creator Of the universe demands Of
man. You may sum up your responGi
bility to your fellow man and your duty
to God in the simple word "truth." Be
true to yourself, true to your family, true
to this order, true to your country, and
true to your God. Speak the truth,
live hstruth, and vote the truth. Ihave
no sympathy whatever with the idea Of
pushing our educational work up to the
point Of conviction, laboring for years to
teach our fellow citizens certain true
economic principles, and then the last
week Of the campaign deserving our prin-
,iples and Jumping for the band wagon.
That may be termed practical political
but it can have no permanent abiding
place in great reform movement, based
On the eternal rock OF truth as founda-
lion. The idea is thoroughly abhorront

THE POLITICAL PRoBnEM.
The earnest workers attention was di-
rected to it's solution. The result was the
formulation and adoption Of our de-
mands, each one Of which required q
change Of laws; in fact q reversal Of
political action. To that extent we be-
came a political organization, and our
minds were trained to look for relief
through political action at the ballot box
rather than through commercial coop

to repeal the special privileges conferred
on the favored classes, we were con-
fronted with two enemies-the one, those
who were to be deprived Of their special
privileges, and who, controlling unlimited

the industries of the nation, the press
and the political machinery of both politi-
cal parties, were 10th to lose their so
called vested rights. They resorted to
abuse, ridicule, misrepresentation and
oppression to destroy organized labor

On the other hand many joined our
ranks from selfish reasons, hoping to use
the political upheavel to their own per-
sonsl advantage. The enemy from
within will prove more dangerous than
those from without. Some were scared
of by the former; many were side
tracked by the latter in their efforts to
use the organization for their own per-
sopal political advantage, or prostitute it
to political parties with which they were
affiliated. These have proven our worst |
