THE ADDRESS.

Ihh AODNnoos
This, the first great labor conference OF
the United States and of the wOrld-rep-
rssentlng all divisions Of urban and rural
organized lndustry-as assembled In nation
al congress, invoking upon Its action the
blessing and protection OF Almighty God'
puts forth, to and for the producers OF
this nation, this declaration of union and
Independence:
The conditions which surround US best
justlfy our cooperation. We meet In the
midst of a nation brought to the verge OF
moral, political and material ruin. Cor
ruptlon dominates the ballot box, the
legislatures, the Congress, and touches
even the ermlne of the bench. The peo-
ple are demorallzed. Many Of the states
have been compelled to isolate the voters
at the polling places in order to prevent
universal intimidation or bribery. The
newspapers are subsidized or muzzled;
public opinion sllenced; business pros
trated; our homes covered with mort
cages; labor Impoverished, and the land
concentrated in the hands of capitalists.
The uban workmen are denied the right
Of organization for self protection; i'm
ported pauperizsd labor beats down their
wages; a hlrellng standing army, un-
recognized by our laws, Is established to
shoot them down, and they are rapidly
degenerating to European conditions.
The fruits OF the toll OF the millions are
boldly stolen to build up colossal for
tunes, unprecedented In the history OF
che world, while the pOssessorS desplse
the republic and endapger liberty. From
the same prolific womb Of governmental
injustice we breed the two great classes
--p0upers and mlllionaires. The national
power to create money Is appropriated to
enrich bondholders; silver, which has
been accepted as coin since the dawn OF
history, has been demonetized TO add to
the purchasing power OF gold by decreaS-
ing the value Of all forms Of property, as
we'll as human labor; and the supply Of
currency iS purposely abridged to fatten
uSurerS, bankrupt enterprise and enslave
industry. A vast conspiracy against man
kind has been organized on two CONT
ueutp, and ls taking possession Of the
world. If not met and overthrown at
once, it fOEebodes terrible social convul-
al0ns, the destruction Of civilization or
the establishment Of an absolute despot-
lem. In this crisis Of human affairs the
Intellfyent working people and producers
Of the United States have come together,
Ia the n, me of peace, order and society,

national banks, rings, trusts, "watered
Stocks" the demonstration Of silver,
and the expressions Of uSurerS may all be
lost sight Of. They propose to sacrifice
our homes and children upon the altar
Of mammon-to destroy the hopes of the
multitude In order TO secure corruption
funds from the great lords Of plumber,
We assert that a political organization,
representing the political principles here
In stated, is necessary to redress the
grievances or which we complain.
Assembled on the anniversary of the
birth Of the lllustrious man who led the
first great revolt on this continent against
oppression, filed with the sentiments
which actuated that grand generation,
we seek to restore the government of the
republic to the hands of the "plain peo-
pie" with whom it originated. Our doors
stand open to all points of the compass.
We ask all honest men to join with and
help us. In order to restrain the extor-
tions Of aggregated capital, to drive the
money changers out of the temple, "tO
form more perfect union, establish JUS
tlce, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote the
general welfare and secure the blessings
of liberty for ourselves and our pos
terlty," we do ordain and establish the
following platform Of principles:
First--We declare the union Of the
labor forces of the United States this day
accomplished, permanent and perpetual.
May its spirit enter into all hearts for the
salvation OF the republic and the uplift-
ing of mankind.
second-Wealth belongs to him who
creates 1t. Every dollar taken from In
dustry without an equivalent is robbery.
"If any will not work neither shall he
eat" The interests Of rural and urban
labor are the same; their enemies are
identical.
Third.-We demand q national currency,
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
poratlons, just, equitable means of cir
culatlon at q tax not to exceed Sper cent
as set forth In the sub-treasurY plan Of
the Farmers Alliance or some better
system. Also by payments in discharge
Of its obligations for public improve
ments.
Fourth-We demand that postal saw
ings banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit Of the earnings
Of the people and to facilitate exchange.
Fifth-We demand that the amount Of
circulating medium be speedily increased
to not less than $50 per capita.
Slxth-We demand the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver.
Seventh--We believe that the money
Of the country should be kept as much as
possible In the hands Of the people, and
hence we demand all national and state
revenues shall be limited TO the necessary
expenses Of the government economically
and honestly administered.
Eighth-We demand graduated in
come tax.
Ninth-The land, including all the
natural resources Of wealth, Is the her
Itage of oil the people, and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes,

a sugzostlor Worth Considering.

/ A Suggestion Worth Considering.
I The Mobile Register is Of the opinion tina
it is waste OF time to advise farmers in
{ the cot oa cit 20 plant less cotton because
they are LOT going 10 accept the advice.
| Cotton IS a ID ney crop and for that reason
it has attractions which they do not seem
to be able to resist. The MORNING NEWS
has published recently several reports from
different parts OF this state in which it was
asserted that the farmers would plant Just
as great an acreage in cotton this year as
they did last. Only those who could not
get credit would reduce their cotton acreage.
This IS the condition Of affairs. doubtless,
throughout the entire cotton belt.
The Register believes that the world
would consume all the cotton that is pro-
duced and that the cotton growers would
get good price for it il new markets for il
were opened. There are millions OF people
who would become large consumers Of
cotton fabrics if they could get such fab
rics at reasonable prices Neither China
nor Japan is as large consumer of cotton
goods as 1t would be if the efforts TO enlarge
the market there were more vigorous.
Therefore. instead Of attempting to re-
strict the production OF cotton there should
be a movement to increase the consumption
OF cotton manufactures. The number of
cotton factories in the cotton belt should be
so greatly increased that a very large per-
centage OF the cotton would be manu>
featured into merchantable articles near
the cotton fields. II this were done, says
the Register, and a policy Of free trade
adopted SO that cotton goods would find
larger market in countries where the supply
Of them is now limited, the difficulties which
now surround the cotton producers. would,
in great measure, be removed. The sug-
gestion Of the Register is well worth con-
sidering There is certainly little reason to
think that the cotton farmers will accept
the advice to plant less cotton that is so
freely offered them.

goes To show very gratifying state Of af-
fairs. taking the couutry as whole. Boun-
tiful harves5s have filled the elevators
Of the west with wheat, and the
warehouses Of the south with cot
ton. Fair movements Of manufactured
goods have kept the factories aud workmen
OF the north and east busy, and the great
mines have prospered. American securi-
ties abroad have been well sustained and
found ready market, so that the country's
credit is excellent No money panic has
occurred, present fiscal conditions are salts
factory to financial concerns aud the pros
poets are that an easy money market will
rule.
Investments have continued on liberal
scale in all parts OF the country. OF the sum

safe loignent in the south.
But while the country az large begins the
new year under such favorable auspices, the
condition Of the south is not 80 satisfactory
as could be wished. Il Is true the cotton
harvest has been bountiful, but there the
plenty ends-the prices obtained for the
staple have been 80 low as to render its
production a loss 70 the planter in many
cases. and in no instance has it been profit
able. The movement, forced of necessity,
has been large, but money has nevertheless
been tight. The causes of all this are
complex, but the effect is all too simple
the south has the cotton and other parts of
the country the prosperity.
Summing up ths cotton situation. and
making prediction for the new year, Will
lam p. st. John, president OF the Mercan-
tile National Bank, New York, says in the
american Grocer: "Our great export COM
modity-cotton-ha been forced upon IN
willing markets, domestic and foreign. A
stringent home money market until recently
influenced the price. Free deliveries from
early pickings, while yet the last seasons
crop is in remembrance, have more po-
tentially affected the price Of cotton. as a
threat OF supernuous supplies. Yet it
would not occasion me surprise if diminish
ing receipts ere long should sharpen the
demand upon stocks in sight, under con-
trary expectation, and with marked effect
upon the price for consequence. The dis
tinguishing feature of the present crop of
cotton is its uniformly high quality. Dis
appointing, therefore, as is the average
price, the average net return in money to
the planter will not depress him to despair. "
