Hill, corresponding secretary of Oak Grove lodge No. 22, Farmers’ alliance, near this city, wrote to ex-President Cleveland, en- closing a copy of the declaration of purposes of the ulliance and asking Mr. Cieveland’s views thereon. Fol- lowing are copies of Mr. Hill's let- ter and Mr. Cleveland's reply: Steubenville, O., March 17. ) Respected Sir:—May we presume go far upon your patience as to ask a short note from you endorsing the principles of the National Farmers’ Alliance, of the existence of which you are no doubt aware, and for which we claim a share of the flat tering result in Towa last fall I enclose our declaration of purposes for your consideration, and being as we unfortunately are, the living monuments of the evils of a prohib- itory import duty, politely termed a “protective tariff,” need I add that we look to you as the champion of our cause and the man of to-day who had the courage to face defeat rath- er than stand in any uncertain po- sition on the greatest issue of the day. A few encouraging words from you will provea wonderful incentive to further efforts in behalf of our common cause—tariffreform. Very respectfully yours, J. A. Hii, Corresponding Secretary. MR. CLEVELAND'S REPLY. 4. 4. Hill, Corresponding Secretary. Dear Sir:—I have received your letter accompanied by a copy of the declarations of principles of the Far- mers’ alliance. I see nothing in this declaration that cannot be fully in- dorsed by any man who loves his eountry, who believes thet the ob- ject of his goverment should be the freedom, prosperity and happiness of all our people and who believe that justice and fairness to all are necessary conditions to its useful administration. It has always seemed to me that the farmers of the country were es pecially interested in an equitable adjustment of our tariff system. The indifference they have shown to the question and the ease with which they have been led away from the sober consideration of their needs and their rights as related to this subject, have excited my surprise. Struggle as they may our farmers must continue to be purchasers and consumers of numberless things en- hanced in cost by tariff regulations. Surely they have the right to insist that this cost shall not be increased for the purpose of collecting uunec essary revenue or to give undue ad- vantage to domestic manufacturers. The plea that infant industries need the protection which impoverishes the farmer and consumer is, in view of our national advantages and the skill and ingenuity of our people, a hollow pretext. Struggle as they may our farmers cannot escape the conditions which fix the price of what they produce and according te the rights which prevail in foreign markets flooded with the competition of countries enjoying a freer exchange of trade than we. The plausible presentation of the blessings of ahome market should not deceive our oppressed and im- poverished agriculturists. There is no market for them which does not take its instructions from the sea- board, and the seaboard transmits the word of the foreign markets. Because my conviction that there should be a modification of our tar- iff laws rose principally from an ap- preciation of the wants of the vast army of consumers, comprising our farmers, our artisans and our work- ingmen and because their condition has led me to protest against present impositions, I am especially glad to see those sections of my fellow-coun- trymen arousing themselves to the importance of tariff reform. Yours very truly, Grover Crevetanp. Merit Wins.
