On aCccunt of the lenght of the nddre<s we y i I continue It from week to week until finished.

En’ruslcd w ith the high duty of legislatin'/ for a great organization whose success or fai.ure/msy depend on jour action, I feel assurrotl.at iou will address yourstives ro the task with that deliberation and patriotic purpose deminded by the situation, nnd the stupenduous intercs’s that l ave been committed to your charge. Upon no body ol men, perhaps, in our history, since the meeting of the Conti nental Congress hrs greater or graver responsibilities devolved, than upon this assembly. Theirs was the b’gh and exalt ed duty of establishing a Republican form of government; your.' , the no less grand and patriotic disty o: preserving it. Their dimai’ds fortqual rights before the law were no mere the just prote-t of a libertyloving pe pie against ’he exactions and usurpations of moi nrchia! tyrany, than are vours which were de lated at St Louis and reiterat.d at Oca'o, against those inequalities and disc'iminations which threaten to undeimire the libeities of the people and to destroy the great agricultural inle ests < f the country. But you .ire to be congratulated that, like out continen al fathers, while confronted with formidable forces and diffi cultks, you have the invincible power of right, of justice, of equity and of truth to inspire and sustain you. Moreover, you have a unanimity and solidity of sentiment atroug the great conservative masses of the country as a mighty reserve , o ■ er, ar d w! iqb. if < i ected a:ight, must ultin ately and i evitable achieve lor cur cause a glorious successVVoncer'ul as has been our growth ard dev, h’pmenl as an 01 gamza i' 11. in nr m bers, r.o phrase of o-rpr gieis has been so marvelous and gra ifyirg as in the educ.tion cl th. n arse- in tl.e true p iticipks ot political ccm.om,.

THE SITUATION. The gravity of the situation, the great unrest which is agiia'ing the public mind and the magnitude of the interests involved, demand the most candid and de liberate investigation and consideration. What are the alleged grievances of the Amebian la mer? Are they real or merely theo eiic 1? Let the record answer. During the decade from 1850 to iB6O, larm vdlues incr. ased 101 per cent. From 1870 to 1880, 1 arm valm s increased only nine per cent. But notwithstanding this alaiming decline in this great industry, the aggregate wealth of the country, from 1875 to ibtu increased forty-five per cent, and the tgricultmal population increased over twenty nine percent. F rom *Bs° iB6O, agriculture led manulactming tin • per cent in increased value ot products. . From 1870 to jSS'j manutacturmg led ag ricullure Iwentj-seven per Cent, showing a difference of tidrty-tcveu per cent in favor of manufacturing. The ten slap e crops of the country — wheat, corn, barky, buckwheat, rye, hay, oats potatoes, cotion and tobacco, for the year 1884, brought ifs» than two per cent inure than the same crops jn 1866. Our cereal crops 0.1867110 m ieiss fl’-an half the acreage and half the amount, brought Ju? farmers $79 711,000 more than the same crops 01 1887, notwithstanding that during this perlo-d the acreage and number pt larm hands liu4 doubl.d, and agri cultural machinery and had been vastly improved. The iarrngr is 'al,- v aimed to find that within the last decide, agricultural lands generally haie cecriastd from twin.y to forty percent in value. Owning kss than twenty two per cent of th : wealth pt ti e country, the urn ers pay over eigiily ' er cent of the taxes ietied a nil lul-ctcij.- j wo-lhiids oi the weaitn Ot thcTiuuntry is -.dtfi cue tin thing tor tire purpose->,.01. y i; r. the gav eri.meet has tine power tp’ ! .(.rue every laxqx-iy.ejr in lh.‘ land tO'Olier . .me life m. dciea k-vl ili-ii u'ntaxid wpftl.ll ; Wwtirk.lt tachies ion transportation, L vnk.i arc i ptw iue.ive pow ,i- oj vug country, and his accefcj.bility to in uaetn, tus li forced 10 : sell 1 is products „i prices bai«’/ CW'iT.ing ~t.be cost of J Dc#pii.e .thy /Jreory that diversification of crop* and Ji'Wy markets would con duce to nis pi&speijfv, bt:<.n thousands of New E. glai.d farms, leach j of gi 1 at aggi egations ot lute.r abandoned 10 the biilr and In die great agi iculturul rta'e Ot lowa, loe moiUage ti^lci.teJucss 011 (aims alone io $lO4 per c«pr..aj 111 Illinois SIOO p 1 capray and mm M<d<i£ to the Roesy I'Mountain*-, arid from ti#e Jo Ir.e gut, the iiriliufs . ovu burdened tfvbt. lue dtfroes l.ti.i eo.mo'rt. and it net lb-1.-1 termg to pis phiiunli.ropy aid pat io ii-in . to rcoLh s fe.pc iclitl in b. ttys tjyjcis so- the pi z ocu ;<» e-t ttfs labor, to tae pr - car oua or oc-a-ioeat t;> siortui.es ot his ic lows in o n 1 and less unrds. lie fair IF u —erf ami why a I/iiiyC" bta’ca bom!, p, lor le’s-in.w 6 > cents ,-OU iLc aioirni, 4. pfl.cml inte.r£(.l|. r s'• -'I- v-~ i

He is confounded and amazed to find that we have paid on r»ur public 1 debt since 1866, in principal, premium* nnd interest, almost double its original , sum. and that it would now require more of the products of bls labor to cancel the , remainder than it would, to have paid the original debt. As prcducer and consumer he stands the helpless victim of an iniquitone system of taxation, which, while it cnhanc s the cost ol nil products of his I -bor, forces him to pay an unjust and onerous tribute to a favored class, 1 These gross inequalities and ruinous discriminations have aroused him to comprehend the startling truth, that agricul- , ture, “the art of all arts, the science of all sciences ana tne life of all life,” the true bas's of nil wealth and of substantial pro , igress. is rap'dly declining and is threat- ” ened with paralysis and death, and that, ' too, in a period of the most wonderful ' development and growth in our country’s history. Profoundly impressed that his generous c rnfid mce has been basely be traye<\ his neglected and his reasonable appeals for ju-tice ignored, he has resolved in a spirit of manly dr ti-imina’ion, guided by patriotic (motive and exalted purpose, to rescue this great interest from impend ing ruin and restore that equilibrium be-, tween ti e great industries ot the country which ia absolutely essential to well being and prosperity. W. C. T. U. Notos. The regular meeting will be held on Sa'urday at 2:30 p. m. Let every mem ber of the union be present. The W. C. T. U. has petitioned to the New York legislature to prohibit the employ ment of women or girls as bar-maids in sn’oons or restaurants where liquors are sold. Little Katie Smith, a beautiful child nine y-ars old, described by a Chicago paper as graceful in manners, refined and s«cet in disposition, who was found Nov. 18, 1891. at her home No. 548 Park Ave> Chicago, with her hands and arms burned sb badly as 'o rcqu're amputation half wav between the e bow and shoulder joints, is skwly improving in health at the Cook county h. spiral. Her father, William Smith, row li-s in jail recused oFburn ng her hands eff while drunk. Ckfii ought to be wipe ! out of course; becdusi. <5 "a drunken row between her po iceman and a few American sailors, but the thousands of Chicago saloons which pay $5Ol apiece a year, for the privilege of making such fiends as the above named William Smith, cught to be . carefully/protec'eT by the government -Oh. consistency thou art a jewel ” At a recent golden wtdding the happy couple were asked by a newly married pair, how they had managed in spite of their many cares, to remain so fresh and young. They answered: “By taking part in all unpopular reforms.” At a recent social gathering another illustration 1 of this principle was seen. One of the ladies present, looking as if still in her twenties was the mb'her of eleven child ’ ren. The husband of this lady Informed a reporter for the Woman's Journal, with evident pride, thr-t his wife was president of the Woman’s Suffrage League, and of the Relief Corps; vice-president of the ' Women's Club, and £>f the W. C. T. U., ' and we have everything pleasant at home, and that he had converted his wife to ’ woman suffrage and that their boys and ' girls were well grounded in the faith.

Just east of the river bridge on the same road, the section hands discoverd a broken rail, just in time to save the vestibuled train from a bad wreck. They tlaged the train and it was stopped within a tew teet ot the broken rail. The passengers remembered them handsotnly with a liberal reward for their active work in saving thfc train, for the broken rail was at the curve on the embankment, where the derailing of a car would have been fatal to the passengers. Merchant Baughman, of South Salem, remembered us while in the citv this week Our paper failed to reach the post office of Steele until Tuesdav. of this week and Mr. Baughman called to inform us that it was caused bv the msil agent on the T.
