WHEREAS, The price has advanced for a given month it is always in the last few days so that the farmers cannot get their grain to market, thus compelling them to bear all the ill ef- fects of the manipulation with none of the benefits. Now therefore, be it,
Resolved, By the farmers of Brown county in Institute assembled. that we respectfully pe- tion our senators and representatives at the national capitol to do everything in their power to entirely abolish this nefarious business, and make it a penal offense for any one to buy or sell any grain or other farm products unless he is bonafide owner of the article in which he is deal- ing.
Resolved, Further, that it is the sense of this institute that the circulating medium of the country should be increased to an amount sufficient to transact the business of the country in such a manner as to promote the interests of the farmers as well as other classes
Resolved, Further, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Senator J J. Ingalls and Rep- resentative E. N. Morrill and that the same be published in the local papers and also in the Kansas Farmer.
Resolved, That we heartily tender our thanks to the Hon. Martin Moliler, secretary of the state board of agriculture, for the very able address and assistance in the various subjects and also the executive committee for the excellent program furnished and to the chairman and sec- retary for the able manner in which they carried out said program. We also thank those who furnished papers and so intelligently discussed the subjects referred to them.
