The first farmers alliance hud Ita birth In lauipa mis county, Texas, in 176.

In the meanwhile, organisations of farmers were growing up In tlie adjacent to tea In Arkansas waa ths which first saw the Wheel," light In a arhoolliouNe In western Arkansas In 1882. In laiulshina was the Farmers' union. Ivlcgatea from th tatter .. met with delegates frm Uw -Texas Farmers alliance at Waco In 1887, and out of the two bodies was formed the National Farmers' alliance Union of America. and At Meridian, MJsa., December 6, 1888, was held a convention between this organisation and the National Agricultural Wheel, and from it evolved tha and Laborers Union of F'ariuers America. At the nest annual meeting, held In St. Louis in 1889, the name of that organisation, which had now spreud over the South anil a targe part was of the West arid Northwest, changed to that of the National Farmers' Alllunce and Industrial union, a name by which It continued to be knawn until ita dissolution some years later, to be revived In the Iupullst lv party. Aa before stated, the origin and history of the Farmers' alliance and the Farmers' union present many points of striking similarity. Like the older organization, tha Furmers union had its origin in Texas. It waa In Raines county, that state, that ten men met on August 28, 1902, an organisation to be and formed called the Farmers' union. The object and alma of the organisation were set forth In the following constitution: 1. To discourage as much aa possible the present mortgage and credit system. 2. To assist our members In buying and Belling. 8. To tabor for the education of the agricultural classes In the silence of crop diversification and scientific culture. 4. To constantly strive In secure entire harmony and good will among all mankind and brotherly love among ourselves. 5. To form a more adequate union with those In authority for a more rigid and Impartial enforcement of the taw, that crime, vice anil Immorality may be suppressed. 6. It would garner the tears of the distressed, the blood of the martyrs, the laughter of Innocent children, tha sweat of honest labor and the virtu of a happy home as the brightest jewels known. 7. This is. no political party, and shall forever abstain from even- so much aa a discussion of partylsm. Yet we do not feel It la right to place shackles upon the limbs or a padlock upon the lips of anyone who may wish to dlacuaa for educational purposes tha science of government, for upon thla rock all Important structure must - rest for either mental, moral or cial development. finan- That the members of the union have fit to construe the last 'clause of the constitution to their own liking la evidenced by the fact that in Mississippi and In other states the local branches are planning for representation In the legislative assemblies. An Idea of what the results might be If the organisation a a whole decided to go into active politics may be bad from the statement that in five years it haa gained a membership of a million men, and It la still growing at a rapid rate. At the present time state and local unions organised on a firm basis, exist In all the Southern states and In Iowa, Kansas. Nebraska, Oregon, California and Illinois. Been |
