AN ADDRESS.
The Great Industrial Coafereaee t
the Brotherhood ef the Farmer'
: ; Alliance of North Carolina-
Having been honored with a com
mission from you as delegates to the
Industrial Conference - oh the 23d
nlL we render at the earliest practical
moment, a truthful statement of the
work accomplished, and of our action
as yohr representatiye in that body.
' The six organizations embraced in
the official call issued by the Com
mittee on Corporations, .were repre
sented' by seven hundred and thirty
seven properly accredited delegates.
To these were added the delegates of
seven ; other kindred organizations
(on the recommendation of the Com
mittee on Credentials) making in the
aggregate oyer one thousand delegates
and representing almost every State
in the Union, j The- Committee on
Platform consisted of one hundred
and twenty members, representing
every ' State in every' organization.
The committee labored faithfully and
without intermission fourteen hours,;
and presented as. their unanivious
report the following: :
PLATFQEM.
First We demand a national cur
rency safe,, sound, and flexible, issued
bv 'the treneral ffoyevnment only, a
; -full 1 1 fAitilrii fw 11 lnTi-a -rti-tl-i '
lie and private; and that without the
j use of wanking corporations, a just,
equitable and efficient means of dis
tribution direct to the neonle at a
"-v ' ' J c.vji;-cu. m yKi lcu l pi u ivi
ed, as set lorth in the sub-Ireasusy
plan of - the Farmers Alliance, , or
some better system; also by payments
in discharge of its obligations for
public improvements.
a. We demand free and unlimited
coinage of silver. y
j b. We demaiid that the amount of
circulating medium be speedily in
creased to not less than $50 per cap
ita. .1
c. We demand a graduated income
tax. ' ' ' -
d. .We believe that the money ; of
the country should be kept as much
as possible" in the hands of the peo
ple, and hence we demand all nation
al and State revenue shall be limited
to the necessary expenses of the gov
ernment economically and honestly
administered. ;
e. We demand that postal sayings
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit of the
earnings of the people and to facli
tate exchange. '
; LAID . :
I Second The land, including all
the natural resources of wealth, is
the heritage "of all the people and
should not be monopolized for specu
lative 'purposes, and alien j ownership
of land should be prohibited, All land

porations in excess, of their actual
needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens, should be reclaimed by th4
government and held for actual set-
tiers onlv. . .
TRAKSPORTATIOS'.
Third Transportation being a
means of oxchange and a public ne
cessity, the government should own
and operate.'the railroads in the in
terest of the people.

; While some parts of the above ad
dress may seen at a
mere
srlance to
make partisan political distinctions.
bn it "upon careful tudj one will clearly
see that iVi&iwn-partisan, and further
I will be impressed with the truth of
its premises, and the ability of the
committee who framed it. It was
adopted with only a few dissenting
votes, and the puttorm was - adopted
unanimously, and received with great
applause. The' Conference having
completed its w ork as a representative
body, then adjourned sine die.
THE MASS-MEETING.
After the adjournment, a mass
meeting was called, in which a great
many delegates took part as citizens,
tosre
tfieis w ith a number who were not
delegates td the Conference, and pro
ceeded to take steps looking to politi
cal action The result was a call for
National Convention, to be held on
the 4th dav of , July,, in the city, of
Omaha, Nebraska. jThis action was
entirely distinct firom the work of the
t
Conference of IJabor Organizations
to which you sent us as your repre
sentatives. I :
It will: be seen that the Conf erence

l-.riP fti-or:iniza,ti'ous reuresented. nor any
Wember thereof, to the support of
any particular political party. In a
pirit of concession and compromise,
all the various States aud sections,
and all shades of political opinion,
so.'jrbt onlv the common good of the
:hole iSeoDie. and with remarkable
nndiikmtv adopted a declaration oi

The undersigned, therefore, heartily

The St. Louis
Meeting.
f.
Again " the people'
have demon
to withstand
strated their ability
temptation, act with moderation j and
stand firmly upon principle. The
tricksters-traitor, and 'wily politician
have been confounded, and the d is
organizer with all his ilk has. been
in gloriously ' defeated. "Well
laid
plans to disrupt, side track, or load
down the movement with objection--'
able features met withj a" similiar fate,
and the' wrath, chicanery, and Wjick
eduess of its enemies, jvere " mado Vto
serve the cause of justice and reform.
Out of that tangled ijnass of inhar
monious opinions, diversity of senti
ment, and distrust of teach other, has
evolved a declaration of principles
that will ever challenge the admira
tion of a free people. . Nothing save
a righteous cause guided by tho hand
of Omnipotent Justice could have
terminated in such a hdppy, beneficial, j
and almost unexpected manner- -Let
those who are inclined to scoff, land i
treat lisrhtlv of this movement con
sider carefully its origin, growth,
and the result of thisj meeting, I foi
there is a lesson contained in its his-
tory that will some time, be declared
from the house top. It is true that
this meeting marked a crucial period
in the life of this reform effort, but
the fact is, nevertheless, certain that
the test wa3 squarely and honestly
met. That there r were mistakes of
minor importance made that a con-
vention of machine politicians would
have avoided is doubtless true, but
these very mistakes confirm the hon
esty of purpose which) actuated those
present. Taken altogether! its coun
terpart was never witnessed before on
American soil
Such a rugged protest against pireij
eut conditions, backed up by the
rising tide of educational enlightmeiit
and the well-known continuity of
action which obtains among the cflass
making it, can hot bej much longer
ignored, but will sooner or later be
recognized m its rullest sense, xnis
action will result immediately ma party, but in deference to. this reco
show of hands,- and, jas in j the days gnized restraint on the Alliance, that
of Gideon, cowards and traiters. will action was deferad until; the work
go to the rear. " j j
! The number who have been conn-

have more than one fourth of the

and it Adjourned. But almost every

appointed a committee to confer with
the central committee of the People's
party to arrange for a time and place
to hold a National Convention to
nominate candidates for President

and decided on July 4th as the date,
and the city of Omaha as -the place
for the convention, and issaed an
