NOTA THIRD PARTY CLIQUE
Tillmanof Indiana Speaks Against^Trusts and Monopolies^^Ihty Must Be^Abolished.
Indianapolis,Nuv. 17.^Tbe supreme^couucil of the Farmers' alliance wan^callel to order ut 10:40 o'clock by Presi^^dent Fouce of the Indiana alliance, with^in ur y all tliu 20 dele gates anil 500 spec-^'.alorH in attendance. Mayor Thomas L.^Sullivan was introduced and wu^ received^with enthusiasm. In a short address he^welcomed tile delegates to Indianapolis^j. F. 'J ill man, secretary of tbe alliance^executive committee, responded. After^thanking tin people of Indianapolis for^ih^ir warm welcome and paying n tribute^to President Harrison, be said: ^It is the^farm nig and laboring people who feed the^world, who fought the battles of ibis^country, and to whoso energy and patri^^otism tins great und glorious land of^ours is indebted for it-, richest blessings,^liberty and |h ace. It is not our mission^to tear down nor destroy our honestly^conducted niuuslric**, but to destroy all^illugit mate combination and monopo^^lists tiial lend to destroy the very spirit^und intent of the constitution. We are^not hero as politicians, seekiug to dis^^rupt partisan political parties or to pro-^mole fortunes and political aspirants, nor^are we lie rJ ill the interest of a third^party, for by our veiv organic teachings^we have the right SB vole with whatever^political parly we may think will best ad^^vance ;;ood government.
Hecalled attention to the ^last billion^dollar congress^ and criticised its expen^^ditures, which, he said, was more than^spent by all the congresses of the fust 72^years ol ihl* government. This, be said,^was more than $8 for ivory man, woman^ami build in tho I'nited States to support^the national government, not including^oilier taxes ievied. Then Im said, ^How^long would they endure it If collected d.-^n cily from ih ^ m iutn ad of indirectly, as^it is now colli cu d through our tar ft*'!
-ay what you please about tariff, but it^must and bhall come down to a reasona^^ble basis of taxatii n, and these reckless^e xpeiidnureb by psBgsjsl must be stoppc d,^or we will continue to change the person^^nel of every congress. Yet, this is not^all nor is it at the botK m of that which^brought about the uprising of the people^of all parts of this BjfBJM country. I can^best illustrate it by the use of three TV,^that is the first letters of three words.^Then* three words ar^ 'transportation,'^'lar W^ and 'trust'^here is trouble, and^it ere a e three '(V, winch arc the llrst let^^ters ot three wor Is, 'crush,' 'change'and^'control,' ih- unwritten and ironbound
atti our fr.en i|y political newspapers^abuses us so iiiiicn about. 1 will now tell^yon what this oath is: It is ^to crush^trusts, change the tariff and control^transportation.
Hethanked God for tbe Farmers'alli^^ance and all kindred organisation*, and^then proceeded: ^We must have more^cunviicv and will have it. Tbe farmers^ol tho North, who wore the blue and^robbed MsS I mtn, have taken liio south-^e.-u laim r who w ore the grey by tho band^and taid to linn, 'we have never aslio-J^you to lurrender to King Monopoly and^partial legislation, but only to preserv^^th- union alike good for all,^and tut a brave Southern fanner^ever e urreiidered to suc h circurnstouces;^though defeated lie Jwas defeated but to^save the union, and the chivalry of tile^entire South to-day is eleiermilic-J to pre^^serve tbe union and constitution at all^hazards, and the result is strife and pat-^ti-an pieju lice are bun'd face down^^wards.
TheFarmers' alliance means the^grcah si good lor the greatest llurnber.aiid^is determined to have justice for all ami^special favors to none. It numbers in^coop ration near 40 ',1 00, and it has come^to stuy and will be held intact as a non^^partisan organization. Members of all^pohticul parties may join this organ si-^tioii and never become a third parly.^There is 1 ig political siguiflcaace in it,^but not party politics.
Tillman'sreference to tbe non-partisan^nature of tic sllsMMM caused something^of a sensation and was received with^about eepial evidence of approval and^disapproval. Gen. j. H. Weaver of Iowa^was called for and made a speech on the^U neral situation which was received^with enthusiasm. He was followed by^Congressman Jerry Simpson of Kansas,^.11 the same slram. l'resideut Willets of^list Kansas alliance1, spoke briefly, and^t.ie uioeiilig unjoin u d.
At2 o'clock the alliance went into uu^executive- session at the board of trade^and the National F. M. H. A. at the court^house'. lioih are discussing the third^party in- Tomeni.
Theopen meetings to-day was a reap^^pointment to tiie alliance leaders, und^particularly the third party men in at^^tendance worn not great in number, neir^was there nincii enthusiasm, Coiifl ct of^opinion has arisen on suhj'ct* which
irentento MfisjMtjf interfere with the^work. While the attendance was small,
' Ight for and against the third party
cement was none the less bitter. The^Missions of the F. M. 11. A. and the alli^^ance this afternoon wore secret, but it is^utidi i siood the iisue was squarely joined^in each and the re suit in each case was a^drawn battle. Nothing but a final vote^can determine the relative strength of the^tactions. At the open meetings lo-nigli:^the attendance was less than a thousand,^l'resideut Polk delivered his annual ael-^Urcss.
Mr.Polk reminded the representative-,^thai upon no body has greater responsi^^bilities rested than on this since the con^^tinental congress of 1776. fe^r ii|tial^rights were no more just than ihcir's to^^day against tho inequalities which^threaten to undermine lbs libertn s e^t^ihe people. From 1C50 to 1NI0 farm va ^^nes increased lol per cent.; from 1870 to^lfi-ej only 9 per cent. The aggregate'^wealth of the country increased from 1870
to1880 over 45 per cent.; the crops of 1884^brought less than 2 per cent, more than^^ he crops ' of 1(60. Tbe crops of^18:7, though less than half as^large ss those of 1867, brought^Ihe farmer S79.600.000 more. Two-thirds^of the country's wealth is not assessed^for taxes, yet tbe farmer, possessing only^22 per cent, of it, pays 8J per cent, of^taxes. With modern facilities of trans^^portation and improve.i machinery the^farmer finds himself compelled to sell^produce at prices barely covering cost.^Farm mortgages are frightfully large. In^low* tbe mortgage indebtedness is fli)4^per eapita; in Kansas, $165; in Illinois,^$100, and everywhere the farmer is ovcr-^burdeued wiih debt. Therefore, the^farmer is now appealing to the supreme^tribunal of public opinion, and asks a^just decision through the ballot box.
Polkthen took up the demands of the^farmers, oil which be spoke at great^length. The sub-treasury idea, he said,^has grown until it is the sentiment of a 1^in the order in :'4 state*. The constitu^^tion declares that congress shall have^the power to regulate commerce. Among^others, money, trans;^ortstion anil the^transmission of intelligence are cssentisl^elements to farmers, Dries congress reg^^ulate these'.' Organized capital has de^^manded of emigres* and obtained con^^trol of tho volume of currency. This has^resulted in a fearful augmentation^of the cuntruiiz.'d money power to the^impoverishment and robbery of honest^industry. In 1801 the amouutof currency^was $2,000,000,o^.KJ, with :^7,0f 0.0--O popula^^tion. To-day, with o.i.ts ij.UiAi population,^lbo volume of currency is rodticed to^;*GOO,000,000, resulting in tbe h ell price of^money and low prices of article*, entail^^ing distress, poverty, buffering and ruin,^lie said: ^The supreme question before^the people is financial reform. The two^great parties have evidently sounded n^truce, and as in the past this question^will bo regarded as neutral ground be^^tween them. In this crisis, it is^the du'y ot every true member of^the ulli..neo to stand firmly by our^principles, and to demand of all aspirants^of our suffrages an unequivocal defini^^tion of their position on this great princi^^ple.
Polksaid the growth of tho organiza^^tion was very eucouiaging. Hu recom^^mended that a conference be had with^the' Keforin Press association to discuss^tho most available means of disseminat^^ing reform literature.
Thespeaker closed with remarks upon^political alliance. He said the organiza^^tion must be kept froo from entangle^^ments with any party. It would utterly^fail in its high purposes if degraded into^a mere party machine, manipulated by^designing men.
W.S. McAllister of Canton, Miss.,^chairman of the national executive com^^mittee of the Anti-Sub-Treasury alliance,^heads the committee to induce the alli^^ance to sie^ r clear of the sub-treasury^scheme and third party ideas.
Hesaid: ^We will present a protest to^^morrow against the sub-treasury and^third parly schemes and certain irregu^^larities within the order. It is cur inten^^tion to adjust the matter within the alli^^ance if possible, but if we e'o not get a^lo uring or if our grievances are not re^^spected, the organization of the Anti-^Sub-Treasury alliance will be extended^to every state. Texas opponents of these^ideas are not i.waning the result of tiie^commission. They have already organ^^ized, anil th^ Anti-Sub-Treasury alliance^embraces ^J0 per c 'lit. of tbe total ulli-^ane e strength. J he sentiment is also^strong in low a, Kunsat, Michigan and^Illinois.

HISVIEWS ON FREE COINAGE
On* Hundred and T wsnty-Thlrd^Banquet of the New^York Chamber or^Commerce,
NewYork, Nov. 17.^A distinguished^assemblage gathered tonight at ihe 1211^annual dinner of tbe chamiHT of con^mi rce of tbe state of New York. Among^I its many prominent guests were Senator^Uncock, Cbauncey Ib'pcw. Gene rals Sro-^fleld and Howard, Secretary Foster, Di^^rector of Us* Mint Leech, Hon. Carl^Schutz, Kev. Dr. Hriggs and the bar! of^Aberdeen,
Letsthan one ye ur ago Secretary W111-^dom was smirk down in the same^banquetting hall and before the feast^was done be was dead. Many^times the tragedy was referred to tes-^night. President Harnsoi), Secretary^Blaine, Secretary Tracy, Secretary Proc^^tor, Postmaster General Wanamakcr and^1 x Pre side Ills Hayes and Cli veland were^among ihe mail)' mdio Kent regrets. Sec-^reiary Foster made tbe ^pecch of the^evening, his subject being ^To Maintain^Parity lb twee 11 Gold and Snver is the^Fixed Pobcy of this Government.
Hithe re urse ot ids remarks bo re^^ferred to the giocniy pre elicin lis inadei^Vo years ago by ihe people of^he East over the proposed large^coinage ot silver dollars. ' So^now,'' saiei be, ^men whose intell -^getice and patriotism niuiiol be epo s-^iioiied, and whose purposes are most ex^^alted, are moved to indulge ill gloomy^fore bodiugs over tiie present outlook and^proposo to re peal the act of J11 y It, leOO,^hoping thereby to preserve parity. He^did not propose to indulge in any^prophecy. The secretary told of the elal*^orate spee ch ho prepared in MM upon^silver and gold, but did not deliver it 111^tl.e iiouse because of the enlarge d view^1 ctweeu the llmshing of the SfSSSSM and^the day set for it* de live ry. ' Ho added:^^If tho New York iiinr.s could have that^speech to comment upon, 1 think 1 should^have to resign my ^ lin e. 1 mention this^mere ly to call to mind the fact thai many^other gentlemen have not b.-en as pru^^dent as 1 was.
The secretary further said iu his opin^^ion, with all of our lower, we could not^maintain a parity of the two metals if tho^policy of free coinage of silver prevailed,^lie is tli inly of the opinion parity can be^maintained under tho present policy.^^We produce' annually about i:^,^J00,O00^of gold. The present indications are th *^.halanee of trade wnh foreign nations for^tho next two ye ar. and for a^longer period, if the present tarill'^law is maintained, will require^gold shipments to us to pay^tho balances in our favor. I'uder^the present poiicy wo buy 4 .710,000^ounces of silver per month, paying for it^in new treasury uotes. Fader such con^^ditions the work of maintaining parity^will not be a strain upon the resources of^tbe country. If, however, the balance of^trade should turn against us to any great^extetit, which : coins to bo epiito impos^^sible, e xcept 111 event of e xtraorelitiary^continge ncies abroad, th^ strain wnuld^coine, but even then my faith 111 our re^^sources is such as to compel BJM to be^^lieve we would weathe r ihe storm and^preserve parity.
Tbeshipment of more man sVsJsl M ^^of our geiid to Europe without embarr.i-^incut to us is only as an illustration of^tho maiv Ions BsMSMlsl strength of^this country. Under froo coinage^silver wou'd tnAo tho place^of gold in settling balance's.
Ifthe 1 rice of silver advanced from fl^toper ounce, all the silver iu SSI
worldtor sale woiil 1 In- attracted to this^country. 'To maintain parity under such^conditions VMsM rc^|u re mire than our^immense'resources. Hut with 4,.fui,MZ)^outlses of silver purctiasi'd at gold value^each month, the task would be easy. 'The^practical ipiestion for you gentlemen^10 consider is which euio of IsMSS^iwo policies you will prefer. Helievmg^the good sense of the business woild^must, in the- near future, tie brought into^harturny with us in the proposition that^gold stone* is too nsrrow a base upon^which to build the world's fluauciul struc^^ture, I havi much hope that the b-sl^judgment ot all concerns 1 will agree to a^(letter and more- e xtended use of silver,^to b.^ followed by international argu-^by which the parity of the^methods upon the accepted^may lie inaintaiueel. One^hindrances to ear.)' agreement^is the belief in Europe that free coinage^is to he the pol cy of line country. In such^an event they know their silver will come^to us and our gold go to BSSSaV Con^^vince Europe w e will ne^t pe rmit ourselves
10do anything that will impair our shit^^ty to preserve' parity, and an ou.tacle 01^ii.eagre 111 nt so much desired is removed.
