There is q singular felicity in the

"sl o vcrs and blessings" are in them

Certainly the shower is Il blessing. AMI

and both alike speak bencditt:on.

the National Union Company was real.

with one voice in the report, which is as
follows:

Your committee. appointed to invcstf-
gate the National Union Company have

VIC respectfully submit the following re-
port:
l. We find that it Is an enormous trust.
and that til. capitalists connected with It
are members OF the National Cordage
Trust
=. We find that in the purchase OF stores.
the company pays for the goods with its
first dcEcnturo bonds and we fail to see
where 1t has ever invested. or proposes tr

purchases except In debts for stores.

which it Is enlcavor,ny to establish it,

tiOns in these historic instances have
brought it forward again. The same
system of society has produced the
same result The farmer himself
is asking it. That is what he is
here for, in great conference
assembled tonight in your finest hall.
He is asking, How is it that with
each succeeding year ] am growing
poorer He has grievance, a great
one, and he knows it. In Illinois the
mortgage Indebtedness is $50 per had
In Iowa it is S1G4 Per heal. and in my
own State of Kansas, which we received
free of debt thirty years ago, the mort
gage Indebtedness is $40 per head of
the population. We are told that over
production is the cause Of our poverty
but we do not believe that. Two years
ago We raised a great crop of corn at a
cost of 20 cents a bushel, and sold it at
13 cents per bushel. At the other end
OF the State the coal miners were pro-
ducing coal. We wanted their coal and
they wanted our corn, and yet we were
unable to exchange corn for coal, and
80 we burned the corn for fuel. This
was because of the high price charged
for transportation, and while We froze
for lack of coal, they starved for lack OF
products for agricultural products is
hinderad and prevented, because rent
takes from the workers the means to
pay for the transportation.
Mr.. Simpson then had something to
say about the "home market" doctrine
and the custom-hOIse exactions, which
prevented an interchange of products,
and then said that he thought that what
allied the farmer was that he had hereto
fore boom kept in ignorance in regard to
economic questions, and that he bad
been unable to trace causes from effects.
without distinctly naming it, he then
proceeded to- make n single-tax argu-
ment. He said that more than one third
of the farmers were renters; that in ten
years the renters had increased in KAN
to As per cent, in Ohio.
