The farmers' union. (Memphis, Mo.) 1891-1895, 1892-06-09

The subsixed press, Republican
and democratic, Is taking a wonderful
amount Of comfort In circulating the
report that the following resolution
was adopted a. part Of the St. Louis
PLATFORM:
We deinand that the government
issue legal tender notes and pay the
union soldiers the price Of the de-
precated money In which he was
paid and gold.
This, with the womeh suffrage re-
solution, Is being used to work up
a prejudice In the minds Of week.
kneed reformers. Both resolutions
are al right, but not part Of the
platform adopted. The drst, or ex.
soldier, resolution, was offered by
an ex.confederate who knew his op-
ponents in the war Of the sixties had
been robbed BY the government, held
up, while the bondholders, who re-
fused to aid the contest in any way
until it became apparent the north
would triumph, was given more than
the contract called for, and just why
the ex.soldiers presistently supports
the party then in power is difficult
for us to say. While men risked their
lives for q sum ranging from $13 to
SIC, the Republican party by high
handed robbery, dcfrauded them
out of a large share of the pay
contracted, and gave it to wealthy
foreigners and persons in the eastern
states. 1t would Ike nothing but
justice to pay the men as contracted,
and for this purpose the resolution
was adopted. Then the reason why
the old parties are opposed to uni
versal suffrage is that they know it
would I've impossible for them to buy
the votes of the noble women of the
land like they do the blear-eyed, rum
soaked men to be found in all cities
and towns of this country. The cue,
furnished by the subsidized press, is
being taken up by the little politicians,
who want office, and We advise re.
formers ever to be on their guard
and give the tools who are trying
to work on prejudice warm re-
ception. 1t is true the old parties
have no principles. nothing but preju.
dices: and have been working on tina,
line for twenty years, so tina; mono
poly could rob and plumber tue PEG
pie, but reason and common sense
must be used from this on.

No matter what the Republican
national convention may do at Min
neapolis, there is no reason that any
relief will be offered to labor. That
party has been industriously binding
shacklss around the wealth producers
Of this county in aid Of foreign and
domestic paupers, and is not likely to
se.orm itself. It would be like trying
to make a rotton egg good, as to ex-
pect any relief from the Republicans,
as it has been too long the tool Of
monopoly.

Notwithstanding tho inadequate notice
given out that Hon. r. II. Cardwell had
accepted the invitation Of the club to
speak at thispoint, the largest crowd that
has been seen In the county for years, aside
from the court-green. assembled from far
and near to hear this distinguished and
honored son Of Virginia discuss
the vital and all-absorbing questions
at issue IN this the most impor-
tant campaign either before or since
the war. For quite two hours Speaker
Cardwell held an attentive. delighted. and
applauding audience spell-bound, as IL
were, by his mastery exposure OF Repub-
lican maladministretion OF tho govern
ment; its corrupt and extrayagant expendi-
ture of public funds: its ruthless IMPOSE

enormously burdensome taxation, and its

whatever political party for his vile and
bitter denuneiation and slanderouB abuse
of the southern people in general and their
once honored and beloved leaders, Jeffer-
son DAVIS and X. Il. Lee. and their CON-
peers in particular. and wondered how any
man. or the son of any man, who followed
such leaders could bring discredit on them
aud on himself by espOusing any cause led
on by the like OF any political acrobat so
foul-tongued as this excuse for q man,

bv great earnestness and good humor,
touched forcibly on the main issue OF the
canvass. III audience was raised TO high

There is baseball nine in Richmond
composed of cigsrmakers, who claim ex-
istence under the name of the U. o. Base
Ball Club, who challenged the Manchester
colts for a contest at Forest-Hill Park yes
terday afternoon for purse OF $40 and
the gate receipts. The game was one
sided from the very opening and the
Forest-Hill club won an easy victory. The
home team started out with Merchant IN
the box, but before the game had ended
Belcher. Taylor, and Foster had hurried
the sphere for the Manchester players.
The game was characterized by the most
miserable playing that has ever been seen
on o local diamond. When 1t had ended
and Manager Dan Matthews, Of the Forest
Hill team. went up to receive the spoils
from the captain of the Richmond team
he was infornaed that the contest was. on
credit, as the Richmond boys failed TO
bring the purse GAO with them. The
Freestaters had therefore to content them
selves with the gate receipts, which were
not sufficient to purchase frst-class
house and lot, as the bleacheries were not
uncomfortably packed.
This il the score in detail:
