erative Union of America met in this
city, with thousand delegates, repre-
senting almost every state in the
Union In attendance.
President c. s. Barrett called the
convention to order, and b. r. Pres
ton made the address of welcome,
which was followed by the address OF
welcome on behalf of the State Farm
ers' Union by DR.. j. M. Templeton of
Cary. B. r. Montgomery of Colorado
responded to the welcoming address
on behalf of the visiting farmers.
President Barrett's address was in
part as follows:
ut is my privilege to greet and con-
graduate you at the threshold of the
greatest business era in the history OF
the organized American farmer,
1T has been an aphorism in Amer
lea that the farmer was not business
man. am here to tell you, and to tell
the nation, that the indictment no
longer holds true. Here and there the
individual farmer has much to learn
concerning business and business
uBages. But the important point is
that the leaven is at work, your
shackles are unloosed, past ignorance
is vanishing and the man who tills the
soil in this country is absorbing with
miraculous rapidity the lesson that
businessp rinciples must be foremost
IN the management of his affairs
"The nature Of my position has Civ
en- me singularly good opportunities
for study and observation in every
state in the Union. And. | now make
this statement without reservation
That in each commonwealth where
the farmers are organized and in 9th
ers where organization Is simmering.
there is new life and freshly kin.
died hope.
This change was unquestionably
demonstrated in our experience dur.
Ing the latest sessions of congress
For the first time in the history of an
American farmers organization and. l
think, for the first time in American
politics, the lawmaking body of our
country was waited upon by bona iide
representatives OF the producers OF
America.
To-day the farmer is alive TO his
rights and needs. Banded together In
q phalanx that resists the assaults or
little and of great foes, he win enforce
the one and fulfil the o;ner.
"All these years God Almighty, sin.
gle-handed, has been helping the son
OF the soil. Now the farmer fulfilling
the Scriptures, is proceeding to help
himself. With God as his partner, he
Is invincible."

"A law providing for the establish
ment of parcels post.
"a law against the establishment of

"A law to restrict foreign immigra,
