Strong Development of Hostility to a Proteotive Tariff About 1,000 Townships Already Orgnufznd, and 100,000 Persons Enrolled in Clubs. Partial List of Local Societies. Thoso gentlémon, who, attor the Bloomington Convention, intorostod themaclves in tho farmors’ movemont, found the majority of thoso with whom thoy met, or whom thoy addressed, unpropared to meot tho issues involved in a contost with tho railronds. Farmers woro awaro of tho wrongs and dieabilitios undor which thoy suffered, but they did not know whoro to ‘look for an adequate remody. A certaln amount of instruction and eoducation was necessary to bring thom up to the roquired point. This was accomplished by moans of meotings held evory- whero throughout tho Biata. - TIUE WOLK OF ORGANIZATION wont ropidly on. Township, county, and dis- triot nesociations were formed, and system grad-~ ually grow out of what was at first mero chaos, A dofinito plan of oporation only nooded to bo suggosted to rocolve the sanotion and co-opora- tion of all intelligont porsons who wore intor- cated in tho movement. An account of all tho mootings Liold, and the gradual but univorsal sprond of indignant sontiment, is impossiblo. Thero {8 no public record of tho farmors’ move- ment accessiblo, although a full and correct his- tory ‘will no doubt bo eventually writton. We oan only slludo to the public mootings hold in this part of tho Stato, some of which wore ro- ported in tho newspapers of Chicago, and advise our renders that what was truc of one county and township was measurably truo of ovory oth- or county and township in Hlinols. Ino provious articlo, mon prominont in tho movemont, and countrics where the foeling of hostility to the railronds was most virnlont, wore specified. Ono of tho most ncetive and valuable workers in tho northorn aud western part of tho Btato was . 8. M. BMITH, OF KRWANEE, whoso oratory was always forvid, although his logic has somotimes been flamed with extremo sorimony, and abittorness almost personal, To 00 ono person more than' Mr. Bmith ia tho causo indobted for tho success that has thus far beon achioved. Ho' has boon moving about overa lorge: oxtont of couniry, spoaking almost doily; has boon raroly in his offleo, al- though his dutios as Booretary wers onerous, and required closo ottention. As in the bo- ginning of ovory public movoment, the businoss that should bo first attended to has boen the lnst,—that is, tho supplylog: of the exchoguor with noeded funds. Mr. Smith hee mado con- siderable expendituren from his own packet, for which he has never been roimbursod. Largo sums aro undoratood to be in' tho treasurios of local clubs and grangos, which only need to bo divorted into the proper chonnels to subserve tho gonoral intorest of the farmers. The fixst offorts mado weroe in tho FORMING OF LOOAL OBGANIZATIONS, On Saturdsy, Feb, 1, o club was organized at Neponsott, one of tho contros of this three-cont passongor-trouble. Tho doy was ono of tho coldest of tho ecason, but tho meoting was onthusiastio, A oub of 81 was organized, which has ‘sluco _reached o momborship of over 100. Beforo tho Bloomington Oanyention, olubs had been formed at Galva, Walnut Hill, Knox County, and at Al- tona. On the 5th of Fobruary, the farmors liv- Ing near the centro of Honry County, met at Oambridge, the county-soat, talked over their troubles with much onergy, and organized an association, Farmers’ convontions had not thon acquired the habit of pussing resolutions, the burdon of thoir talk boing, that railroads should “*oboy the law,” ahd that oll should insist on “riding manfing to law" whenevor thoy had occasion to travel by rail. Ou tho 8th of Feb- ruary, a moeting was called at Princeton to pre- pare o nomination to tho Logislaturo, About twonty gentlomon woro proscnt, most of thom mon of qntumgunue and education. Prominent in the mooting wero the Hon John T, Bryant ; Dr. Broed, a retirod physician of Princoton’; an: Mr. Btovenson, whoso name is familiar to those who have w:u:hod the progress of the farmors’ movement, Ol THE FOLLOWING MEMORIAL was the rosult of the deliberations.

The moeting at Amboy on tho 19th inat, showad that the foroign clement of our agricul- tural population sympathizo ardontly with tho prosont movemout, The moro rocent convontions at Princoton, Eatlvillo, and Peoris Lave beon fully reportod in tho public prints. Tho question.of high prices and opprossion by monopolists, naturally drew the attontion of tarmers Lo the raiuing of rovenuo by means of A PROTEGTIVE TABIFF, Tho nssocintions began to pass rosolutions ox- prosing thoir wouso of eon, oadly i Febmmsy. Theo tartff-plank was introduced st all the moot- ings soon aftor tho making & platform bocsmo o habit. The question was ono upon which the farmors of tho Stato had always beon divided. The majority of them liad been idontifled with a party ono of _whoso established principles was tho justico and nocoseity of o tariff for protoc- tion. Tho unanimity of sentimont with which tho tariff resolution was adopted, whenever presonted, was @& mattor of surprige to all obsorvors. Bearcely a voice was over raised in oppgsition to 1 at wiy mosting in any quartor of tho Btato ; and, whon tho final voto camo, thoro was nover a dissonting voico. Tho history of tho question at ono_mooting has boen its his- tory at all meotings.
