the House further insisted on It's dis
agreement to the Senate amendments
to the diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill and another conference
was ordered
Mr.: Bland. of Missouri, from the com:
mittco on coinage, weights and meas;
ures, reported the Stewart free silver
bill and it was placed upon the House
calendar.
Mr. Tracey, of New York, asked
leave that the minority of the commit
tee be permitted 10 have its views
printed and further asked that the re-
port of the majority and the views OF
the minority be printed together. To
the latter part Of this request Mr..
Bland, Of Missouri, objected, fearing
that it might result in delay of action
on the measure. 1t was his intention,
he said, to take the earliest opportunity
TO have the bill considered. He had
no objection to the minority filing its
views At any time,
Consent was, therefore, given to the
minority to file its views.
Mr. Herbert, of Alabama. presented
the conference report on the naval APP
preparation bill.
There was great deal of opposition
manifested to the item, which proposes
to authorize the making ola contract for
a new battleship, the opposition being
based on two grounds-first, that it
was not required, and second, that if
were required the appropriation to
build it should he made outright.
The conference report was rejected
yeas 104, nays 100.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, asked for a
further conference and moved to in
struct the House conferees to oppose
the Senate amendments appropriating
$50, 900 for naval display and autho-
rizing the construction ola battleship.
Agreed TO.
Mr.. Henderson submitted the confer
ence report on the postoffie appropria-
ton bill and it was agreed to.
Mr.. Torrey, of Alabama, submitted
the conference report on the legislature
appropriation bill.
Chairman Bland, of the coinage COM
mittee, introduced resolution (Which
was referred to the rules committee)
making the silver bill o specisl order
for consideration Monday next. Its
consideration is to be continued from
day to day until finally disposed of.

A TIMELY WARNING.

Political Parties VIII Have No Delegate
Representation at the st. Louis Confer
ence.
There seems to be general mis-
understanding as to the object of the
meeting at st. Louis February 90. The
meeting, which is held under the aus
pices of the various reform organiza-
tions, and not of the peoples party,
was originally called for Washington,
but owing to many protests from the
west the committee changed the loca-
ton to St Louis.
It is not q convention to nominate
presidential candidates, but q confer
ence between the delegates of various
reform organizations to decide what
action they are to take politically.
It was called originally at a meeting
of officials of the various alliances and
the K. of L. at the national alliance
meeting in Ocala, Fla, in December,
tho old parties chance to show what
they would do for the people at this
session of congress.
The call for the meeting of the peo-
Piles party committee in another
column will make things clear to those
who do not understand the statues of
affairs.
Of course it is impossible to fore
shadow the action of this conference,
which will be composed of delegates
only from the great reform organiza-
ton. such as the various farmers and
citizens alliances, the knights of labor,
the patrons Of industry and number
of trade unions, but the action Of the
state presidents of the Farmers Alliance
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1892-02-19

and Industrial Union, who met at Wash
ington, January 8 may indicate the re-
suits.
They adopted the following:
Resolved, That 1t Is the sentiment and desire
OF this conference Of the presidents OF the Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union that the del
egates for the Farmers Alliances and Indus
trial Unions who attend the Industrial confer.
ence to be held in St Louis February q, o.
use their influence and votes to establish and
maintain perfect fraternal relations with the
labor organizations represented in said meet
ing, with the Ocala demands as a basis for a
platform OF principles, and that such platform
be presented to the national conventions of the
democratic party. the republican party and the
peoples party this year, with an earnest re-
quest that the principles involved be engrafted
into the platforms for the coming national cleo
tons OF 1892. But that they carefully refrain
from committing our order as such to af1liation
with any political party.
A memorial to congress was adopted which
deplores the agricultural depression and asserts
that it is due mainly to partial and unfriendIy
legislation. It says that the present financial

representatives. It is simply to be a
meeting of the farm and labor organ
nations to oonfer together as to what
demands they can unite upon. and as
to what action they shall take as to the
surest and speediest method of securing
those demands.
We speak thus positively because OF
false reports that have gone out regard
ing the conference. For instance, two
or three lodges and one county assem-
bly, have been deceived into adopting
resolutions denouncing the general as
sembly for things the general assembly
never did, never pretended to do, and
would.not have done had the matter
been mentioned or suggested. These
resolutions, strange to say, were not
written by farmer at all, but by a
man who lives in Chicago, kind of ex-
lawyer, who gets his news and his in
spisation from the plutocratic press.
Tbs resolutions aver that the f. M. B.
A. representatives were instructed to
indorse the peoples party or. favor in
independent political action. No such
thing was ever mentioned in the gen.
eral assembly, and our representatives
were chosen, as the representatives of
other farm and labor organizations
were chosen, to attend conference of
those organizations, and to there take
such action as the comb ined wisdom of
that conference might decide upon.
They were not instructed at all.
And there is another matter of i'm.
portanee that F. M. B. A. members
should understand; the representation
is based upon votes and not upon rep
resentatwes. So no matter how many
of our' members attend that meeting,
they will be welcomed and entitled to
sit in the meeting and take full part in
its deliberations; but our organization
will only be entitled to definite num-
Der Of votes We would be glad if
every one of our two hundred and fifty
thousand members could be there

ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE.

NOT Political Conventions, But . Confer

The great conference Of farm and
labor organizations to meet in ST.
Louis February %, is in nosense peo-
Pies party meeting, as the politicians
and plutocrats would make believe.
Fhis meeting was called before the
peoples party had, o. claimed, national
existence. The peoples party is not
included in the call, is not invited to
the conference; no political party is
nor will any be represented there.
There will be adherents of the peoples
party there, as there will be adherents
OF all the political parties there. when
was q meeting of that character held

party wire-workers were not sent?)
But no representative of any political
party will be recognized in that body,

How They View That Resolution.
Congressman Cox, of Tennessee, in
an interview criticising the action of
the alliance presidents and the resolu-
ton adopted by them in Washington a
few days ago, says:
1.-THE resolution shows duplicitv on
its face. In one breath it says they
will affiliate with no party or parties,
and asks every party to take them un-
der its fold. Now. the democratic
party is never going to indorse the
Ocala platform as it stands, nor will
the republican party. The peoples
party, so called, has already in
dorsed the Ocala demands, and if the
alliance means to throw its strength
to the party that indorses its peculiar
views and demands, the main ones of
which are sub-treasury and land-loan
schemes, both clearly at variance with
the theory of this government and
sound political economy, why then
those already in the peoples party
platform are so far as those demands
will ever get any Sort of party indorse
ment. Nine-tenths of my constituents
are agriculturalists, and am in full
sympathy with them in their just griev.
ances, but no democrat, who under
stands the principles Of this govern
ment, can ever indorse the chimerical
ideas of the extreme alliance leaders.
