ANGLO NFAADA, of San Francisco Gal MUTUAL FIRE, of Chicago LIBERTY, of New York i THE MAN WHO INVESTS IN IITJJEfcOIV Has The If you have made up your mind to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take any other. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a peculiar medicine, possessing, by virtue its peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation, curative power superior to any other article. A Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whose example is worthy imitation, tells her experience below: To Get In one store where I went to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy Sheir own instead of Hood's; he told rne their's would last longer; that I might take it on ten days' trial; that if I did not like it I need not pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail on me to change. I told him I knew what Hood's Sarsaparilla was.

I had taken it, was satisfied with it. and did not want any other. Hood's When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was feeling real miserable, suffering a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak that at times I could hardly stand. I looked, and had for some time, like a person in con- sumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so much good that I wonder at myself sometimes, and my friends frequently speak of it." MKS.

On motion it was agreed that any person present that has been selected by the delegation present from any county be allowed a seat in this con- vention On motion the temporary organi- zation was made permanent. The question being raised of intro- ducing resolutions the chair ruled the question out of order, on the ground that the June convention had completed the matter of resolutions. Moved that the convention proceed to an informal ballot for members of congress. Considerable earnest discussion arose, and motion was withdrawn. Convention then adjourned to eight o'clock.

WEDNESDAY I As previously announced, the oven- ing session was to be largely devoted to the lecture by president L. L. Polk, of the national alliance. The opera house closely packed, the large attendance of delegates and members of the independent party being aug- mented by citizens of Huron who were desirous of hearing so distin- guished a speaker. The stage was occupied by many ladicB, wives of prominent members of the party, and leading lights of the Equal Suffrage Association.

The K. P. Band also occupied seats on the rostrum, and furnished music ef an excellent order, executed in their usual entertaining manner. At about 8:30 o'clock chairman Cosand" let fall the gavel, and called the convention to order, introducing Mr. Loucke, who congratulated mem- bers upon the workings of the conven- tion thus far.

He said he was pleased with the confident air of victory seen in all countenances. Carry it home with you and you will carry conster- nation into, the enemy's camp. All tne old parties are already badly demoralized. He thought the inde- pendent party was now the oldest party in the state. The two old par- ties were crumbling.

In many coun- ties their central committee and entire partymachinery needed reorganizing. Referring to the cry about the bad men who were trying to disrupt the republican party in the north, Mr, Loncks then introduced the speaker of the evening. Col. L. L.

Polk, of North Caroliaa, president of the national Alliance, as one of the bad meii, who were trying to disrupt the democratic party in the south. After the stormy applause which greeted him had subsided, Col. Polk said: Ladies and gentlemen, sisters and brethren: I desire to express my pleasure at meeting and mingling with the peo- ple of whom I have heard so much. 1 have been made to feel wherever I have gone in the north that my lines have fallen in pleasant places. I am here not as a politician, but as a citizen and an Alliance man.

If any present cannot relish the plain unvarnished truth of an Alliance speech tbey will not be much inter- ested. My people have heretofore not only allowed, but actually hired other men to do tneir thinkinj? for them. The Alliance is educating them to think for themselves. After a very brief autobiographical sketch, the speaker continued, ad- dressing farmers: Who are you? You represent 12 of the population of the country. You produce 73 per cent of the domestic exports of the country.

Without you our ships would rot at our wharves, and Jay Gould could not buy his breakfast. You clothe and feed the world. Let us see if you are appreciated. I want to say that in the develop- ments of our advancing civilization, forces have arisen, demoralizing in their character, that call for most conservative and manly action. When in the history of our country have railroads nourished and pros- pered as they do today When has capital sought so eagerly iavestment in railroad property? When have large fortunes been so easily made? When have manufactures so pros- pered? When have cities and towns sprung up and nourished as tbey do do today! When have you known agriculture to so languish as it does today? In 1850 farmers owned 70 per cent of the wealth of the country, and paid SO per cent of the taxes; today they own 23 per cent and pay 80 per cent of the tax- es.

You see by these rigures that we are growing poorer; that we not only feed and clothe the world, but on your shoulders rests the frame of this government, and it could not exist thirty-six hours without you. Presidents Cleveland and Harri- son and their cabinets have been and are greatly concerned about the sur- plus in the treasury. That surplus came from the sturdy blows of the American farmer. The bondholder purchased his bonds at 53 cents on the dollar, and can them at any time at 128. Can you mortgage your farm for one-third of its value and sell your note for its face? All inter- ests except agriculture are prosper- ing, and we rejoice in it, if it were not at our expense.

Farmers, when they are about to take produce to market to convert into ask themselves the question: "How much will a dollar in money cost Scarce money means high money; high money means cheap products. Wicked legislation has restricted the circulation and ground the farmer between the upper and nether mill- stones. While a dollar in money now buys more merchandise than a few years ago, it is the poor under- paid shop girls and workmen who suffer for it. But will a dollar pay more debts, or interest, ordoctors' bills or lawyers' fees than formerly? The speaker said he had consulted members of congress as to the trouble with the farmers. Some thought the remedy lay in diversified crops; but the case of New Jersey, the very gar- den spot of the country disproved this.

SenatorMorrill thought the trou- ble lay in overproduction; but there can be no overproduction in a coun- try where a child goes to bed hungry. One says that the farmers are too lazy; another that they are too indus- trious, and produce too much Could those who are crying overproduction look into the dens and hovels of pov- erty in the land, they would say that if our exported corn and wheat could have been distributed at home there would be no overproduction. The trouble is under--consumption, not overproduction. They try to ley the fault on God and the farmer. I de- clare it to be the fault of the rotten, wicked, partial financial system of this country.

We have quietly worked on and allowed the politicians to run our government. We have frequent- ly called out to them. "Watchman, what of the night?" and they have replied: "All is well; keep plowing." Now they are greatly alarmed because the farmers are going into politics. The cry of alarm cooies from little poHticiacs who set around on dry goods boxes aud echo the sentiment of their bosses. I would like to take one of these fellows aside aud ask him who has a better right to go into poli- tics? to whom do parties belong any how? Who pays the taxes? Who does the voting? Who does the fight- ing when there is righting to be done? Who has any better right to go info politics than the peaceful conservative farmers? These fellowa do not know the differ- ence between politics and partyism.

I would not give the snap of my fin- ger for the Alliance if it were not full of politics. But the Alliance does not interfere with political or reli- gious views. It has DO more right to dictate party affiliation than church connection. We are freeman with no man's collar around our necks. If any of yon think you can find a reme- dy for our ills in either of the old parties go ahead and try it.

Others have tried both and given it up and desire to form a new party. The Al- liance only asks you to do your duty to your God, your family and your fellow men. I here register a solemn oath never to cast a ballot for any man for any position, particularly a legislative position, who is not the friend of my people. What we want is men who can be trusted and are not for sale; men who have convic- tions and will stand or fall by them if need be. You old soldiers what the skirmish line is it is not the battle.

You are now on the skirmish (Continued on second page.).
