CLINTON COUNTY FARMERS' CLUB.
After one or two preliminary meetings, held elsewhere in the county, the Clinton County Farmers' Club met in the town of Plattsburg on the 19th day of July, 1873, and completed its organization, its officers being A. C. Cook, president, and Michael Moorhead, secretary.
At a subsequent meeting, held on the 2d day of August, 1873, at the Fairview school house, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year : William Johnson, president ; W. E. McWilliams, vice president ; and Michael Moorhead, secretary.
At that meeting a constitution and by-laws were adopted for the government of the clubs throughout the different townships in the county. The preamble to the constitution read as follows :
WHEREAS, Other classes and professions of men have formed .com- binations to protect their interests, and,
WHEREAS, Many of their combinations are working indirectly against the best interests of the farmer ; therefore, in order to secure our rights and protect our interests against the encroachments of said combina- tions, we, the representatives of the Farmers' Clubs of Clinton County, Missouri, do hereby form ourselves into a mutual co-operative associa- tion, and adopt the following constitution and by-laws :
CONSTITUTION-ARTICLE I.
SECTION I. The association shall be known as the Clinton County Association of Farmers' Clubs.
385
HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY.
ARTICLE II.
SECTION 1. The object of this association shall be the promotion and attainment of united and uniform actions of the clubs of which it is composed, in all matters affecting their interests and welfare, in bringing the producer and consumer nearer together by buying and selling through this association, or through such parties as may make arrangements with it, to buy or sell such articles or implements as may be needed, and to transact such other business as may be necessary to secure these ends.
SEC. 2. To combine the farmers of this county in particular, for the purpose of self protection and the promotion of rural, domestic and polit- ical economy.
SEC. 3. The dissemination and promotion of a knowledge of prac- tical farming, horticulture and all things pertaining thereto.
SEC. 4. To foster and encourage intimate, social relations with each other, so as to secure an active co-operative association for our common benefit.
We omit giving the by-laws, on account of their length. They are, however, such rules and regulations as govern other institutions of a similar character.
At the meeting of July 19th, among other proceedings, we find the following : It was
Resolved, That in order to facilitate the organization of farmers' clubs in the several townships in the county, this association will, upon notice to Captain E. C. Thompson, our corresponding secretary, send suitable persons, on any day named in the notice, to assist in such organ- ization.
Resolved, further, That we learn with pleasure that deputy grange master, J. M. Mitchell, is soon to be in our county to organize granges, and we extend to him a hearty welcome.
WHEREAS, The avowed object of this association is to remove the onerous burdens now crushing and paralyzing all our industry in various states of the union : in the form of crushing taxation ; villainous com- binations of unscrupulous men and corporations to depress the prices of our produce and increase the cost of conveying the same to the con- sumers and the markets of the world, giving the producer the smallest pittance for his products, and charging him the very highest rates for implements and machinery, goods and wares used on our farms or in our families : and
WHEREAS, Our country in her agricultural, political, and social interests is being threatened by " death" in every channel leading to progress and prosperity ; her calamities being mainly the fault of unnat- ural divisions among the producers, and caused by a few mischievous and corrupt who are, as barter, bought and sold by sordid monopolies. But still having no abiding faith in her farmers and laborers, who are the producers and the sheet-anchor of hope to our body politic, we have determined to unite in an unselfish struggle for its redemption ; and
WHEREAS, Among other remedies for our oppression, we must also resort to wholesome legislation for some relief, and that hereafter, in the election of county officers, member of state legislature and a United
386
HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY.
States senator, all of whom are supposed to be a reflex of the people and not of a clique, it becomes important that we make known some of our demands ; therefore
Resolved, first, That we will not support any candidate for office who is not eminently qualified for the position sought for, and whose past record has identified him with men or measures inimical to our interests, by reason of increasing the burdens of which we complain, and for which we now demand a remedy and reform for the future.
Resolved, second, That the salaries of our county officers are dis- proportionately high to the relative amount of services rendered, thereby increasing our taxes, which are now enormous, and which the farmer has almost entirely to pay, we therefore demand a reduction of the same to such a figure as business men would consider such services worth, if ren- dered in any legitimate business ; and those candidates for official posi- tions who expect the support of the producers of our county, shall be required to pledge themselves to accept such reduction of their salaries as the legislature may see fit to make ; and they will assent to the same without controversy, to the provisions of such salary bill to take effect upon its passage and approval by the governor of the state.
Resolved, third, That we are opposed to double taxation, and we most emphatically condemn the interference of powerful and moneyed corporations and corrupt cliques in our local and general elections when, by the lavish expenditure of money the bona fide taxpayer is cheated out of honest representation, and must submit to gross abuse of his political rights.
Resolved, fourth, That in selecting a candidate to represent the county in the halls of the capitol, we shall act independently of party lines, and support only such a man, as in our opinion, possesses the brains, ability and known honesty, as will be sufficient guarantee that he can and will grapple with these and other grievances, and will strive to apply such remedy as shall be effectual, and whose past record will give us confidence that he will not be an instrument in the hands of any tyrannical monopoly ; and further,
Resolved, fifth, That our representative to the legislature will use every exertion in asserting the undoubted rights of the people, in check- ing the rapacious encroachments of existing railroad companies on the rights of the people ; that he will labor assiduously for a reduction and equalization of railroad tariffs to fair living rates; and, also, aid in all obnoxious charges against trade and commerce.
Resolved, sixth, That in the event of the prominent parties failing to nominate candidates on the foregoing basis of retrenchment and reform, that a call be issued for mass meetings of the independent voters of Clinton County, to nominate a list of candidates who are thoroughly identified with the reforms which we now and forever will insist upon demanding until accomplished.
The following preamble and resolutions were introduced by Michael Moorhead, and adopted unanimously and by acclamation :
WHEREAS, I. C. Parker, Congressman of the Sixth Congressional District of Missouri, has violated his pledge given to the people on the eve of his election, "that he would give his influence for and use all the means in his power in favor of economy in making and dispensing the
387
HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY.
laws of the land." Now, whereas, Congressman Parker voted for the salary steal, and received back pay ; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we deem it a public and wilful violation of his pledge given to us, and a betrayal of confidence reposed in him, and that we now, as the representatives of the farmers of Clinton County, Missouri, do demand I. C. Parker to resign his seat in Congress.
Resolved, That our secretary furnish those salary-grabbers with a copy of these resolutions.
Resolved, That President Grant, by his act of signing the bill known as the "salary grab," in violation of the spirit of the constitution, whereby he put $100,000 in his pocket, the hard earnings of the yeomanry of the country, has shown himself unworthy the confidence of the people, irre- spective of party, and justly deserves the condemnation and execration of the toiling masses throughout the country.
PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
A Council of the Patrons of Husbandry was organized on the 20th of November, 1873, at Masonic Hall, in the town of Plattsburg. The following were the officers elected upon that occasion : E. C. Hale, Master ; Dr. G. W. Johnson, Overseer; C. L. Kelley, Steward ; M. S. Allgaier, Assistant Steward ; V. P. Kelley, Lecturer ; G. W. Everett, Chaplain ; W. L. Culver, Secretary ; James M. Clay, Treasurer ; Dr. H. P. Saunders, Gate Keeper ; Mrs. G. W. Johnson, Ceres ; Miss Eliza Crockett, Pomona ; Miss Maggie Saunders, Flora ; Mrs. James A. Ellidge, Lady Assistant Steward ; Samuel H. McWilliams, Business Agent, and A. C. Cook, Berryman Shafer and Walden Kelley, Execu- tive Committee.
There were during the year 1873, three organizations in the county known as Clinton County Farmers' Clubs, Patrons of Husbandry, and Order of Grangers. The first was purely a local institution, while the two latter were national in their character. The founder of the two last orders was William Saunders, a Scotchman, who gave them a name and existence about the year 1866. The objects and purposes of these different organizations were substantially the same, and all were finally merged into one-the Order of the Grangers.
SHORT HORN ASSOCIATION.
One among the most prominent and praiseworthy objects which has, for many years, engaged the attention of the Clinton County farmers and stock raisers, is that of raising fine blooded cattle.
As early as 1855, Stephen C. Duncan, of this county, recognizing the excellent facilities and perfect adaption of the soil and climate, to the breeding and rearing of the best blooded cattle, imported from Kentucky, several of the short horns from the finest breeds. So suc- cessful was he in this enterprise, that at different periods after that date,
388
HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY.
other men invested in the same kind of cattle, the number increasing, until the winter of 1879, when there was found to be between fifteen and twenty men in the county who were making a specialty of raising short horns.
During that winter, in. the month of January, the Breeders' Associa- tion of Clay and Clinton Counties, Missouri, was organized, with James M. Clay, of Plattsburg, president, and S. C. Duncan of Smithville, Clay County, secretary.
This association immediately issued a descriptive catalogue of their stock, the title page of which, read as follows :
"In presenting this catalogue to the public, the Breeders' Associa- tion of Clay and Clinton Counties, Missouri, take pleasure in extending to all a cordial invitation to examine the blood contained in it. It is presumed that breeders and farmers, with the catalogue before them, will be able to form an intelligent estimate of its value. We believe the stock offered is fully up to the standard ; and, if well handled, will be profitable, and convince buyers of the fact that blood will tell. All stock sold will be warranted as represented, and put aboard the cars, free of charge at the buyer's risk. Terms of sale, cash. A credit of six months will be given with ten per cent interest. Purchaser to give approved note before removing stock."
The following are the names of the parties belonging to the Breed- ers', or Short Horn Association, each of whom have herds of blooded cattle, numbering from three to one hundred head : James M. Calay & Son, 100; J. N. Winn, 30; B. F. Winn, 70; Alexander Breckenridge, 40; Benjamin Trimble, 40; La Fayette Wright, 20; J. A. Burk, 15; H. C.

Biggerstaff, 3; Marion Snodgrass, 12; Stephen Trice, 30; Abram Fry, 6.
The first sale of short horns occurred in 1879. There were sold ninety-seven head, which averaged about $100 each.
In 1880, ninety head were sold, averaging $105.
During the present year (1881), in May, the association sold 114 head, at an average of $120. Another sale has just taken place (Octo- 'ber 25, 1881), a full account of which we here give :
Bidding last Tuesday on the short horns offered and sold was with- out any manifestation of a lively interest in the transaction, though
389
HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY.
every one could see bargains were being had in almost every individual. The association was aware of the unfavorable circumstances attending their sale this fall, and did not expect their stock to bring such figures as heretofore, but they certainly expected better results than awaited them. The whole number of animals sold by members of the association was sixty-eight-thirty-five bulls and thirty-three cows. The former brought $2,210, being an average of $62.85 ; the latter brought $3,210, or an average of $97.27. The following is a report of the day's transac- tion :
