founders, said this morning.:
sit is successful effort to bring
into annual assemblage representatives

gates pay their own expenses and the
officers get no pay for their work.
"The present congress comes at an
oppoItune moment. the times are in
deed hard, but in what way can the
farmers do more to make times better,
in what way can they do more to raise
the price of fourteen-cent corn and
eight.cent oats, than by meeting
the national congress to decide what
measures and movements are best for
their interests, and to present them
to legislative bodies and the people
packed by the tremendous force of all
the farmers of the countryp"
