To the Cotton Producers of the Southwest : As we enter into the new year of 1905 I wish to first extend to you my greeting of best wishes aud the hope for that peace, conteutment and prosperity you richly deserve. As you go forth into the new year it wiJl be to face continued perils that beset the pathway of farmers all over this country. The present crisis which confronts the cotton producers of the South must be met with a determination so resistless that before the marketing of another crop has been reached our enemies will have been so completely put to rout that never again will they have the temerity to attempt so unwarranted a confiscation of our property. The farmers of the South have the manhood and the ability to win their emancipation from the dominion of Wall street gamblers and I am now thoroughly convinced that they will do so. Present aud future success depends absolutely upon future distinct propositions welded firmly together, namely : Thorough organ izatiou, curtailment in tbe production of cotton holding and marketing tbe crop slowly to meet legitimate demand, and tbe raisiug of an abundance of food supply crop. Tnese' must go together in well ordered sybtems and business detail. Your unions will solve tbe problem of organization, and in your unions you must act firmly and fearlessly under a properly directed leadership. This leadership I believe you have in tbe president of your great organization, Mr. N. 0. Murray. ? You must not only organize for protection in selling, but you mu9t also organize for the equally important matter of buying. As a fundamental and undeniable proposition you must realize fully that the cotton producers of tbe South bave no friends to look to for help in the solution of their many problems except from the combined wisdom and co-operation among themselves. I say to you after many years hard study and presistent investigation into the problems of Southern agriculture. The popular method of doing business in tbe 20ih century is L_ 11 4.1 uy COLUUiUtUlUll Ul niuiuai iLi icicoLa. The business of production is separate and distinct irom all others, therefore it must stand alone to combat the mercenary hand of the world. When we cross the boundary line of the farm every intereut that we touch is [>ne of antagonism. The world with which we deal undertakes to, and does price every commodity that we buy. rhis power put into the hands of the commercial world can have but a 3ne result?fixing at prices each year below their value and pricing of those commodities we buy at figures $ that are extortionate. I ask auy man to study the situatiou with a freedom from partisanship and then deuy that I but speak to you the wordB of , truth and soberness. The men who follow the plow and create the wealth :>f the world are today bowed beneath ( lrtrtk /vf K APIA tWrtAm + ^ LUC lOtSLl \Jk bUUOU VTUV/UU VUUJ V1VVUC 1 and feed. If this is not a truism, deny it. WHAT SHALL WE DO ? Organize upon business principles and stand by your organization through peril and prosperity. Attend your meetings regulary, confer together, read, think and work for mutual and beneficial results to your interests. Stop listening to the siren whisper of those who engage in commercial and industrial activity. Listen not to those who tell you that the farmers of the South will not organize or stand together. Prove to the world that such criticisms apply to years that are past and gone, and that tbe farmers are and will take their stand in front rank of progress along with the balance of tbe world. Blaze out your own pathway and follow it un- j swervingly to the end. Iu the pres- < ent fight bold your cotton in your < own possession "and do not for one ] moment relinquish it to the possession of cotton buyers on any agreement to receive whatever market prices that may prevail at some future date. All sorts of schemes will be presented to you by the buyers and exporters to get possession of your cotton. It is beiDg done now all over the South, and some farmers are turning over their cotton to buyers on advances and promises of future remuneration. Let the exporters get hungry and starve for awhile. They cannot fill their January and February contracts without the spot cotton. That cotton is now in your possession and the future months have heavily oversold. As you firmly hold the cotton now in your possession, determine and prepare to cut down the cotton acreage for 1905. Reduction of cotton production at this time is the key note lO BUUUtfBtJ. upuu IUC aVJICO^D wc I plant this spring will largely determine the price of the cotton we now hold and that we expect to make in 1905. Make a Bhort crop and get rich. Produce abundantly and financially ruin the South. Better shut down ( the mills than to shut down thousands of farms. As you decrease your cotton acre- ' age, increase your food supply crop. Upon an intelligent solution of this problem will depend the future success of our people. Make your farms , self- sustaining and win your emancipation from the dominion of the commercial world and the gamblers of Wall street. Scatter the dates for the payment of your annual obligations and refuse any longer to make all your year's accounts due in the month of October. Buv together and pay cash as far as possible. Let no supply merchant run you, but from this day forth begin to prepare to be your own master. Learn to market your cotton slowly and thereby regulate the supply to meet the legitimate demand of the mills. Keep the mills actively in the market buying supplies and take the business of control out of the hands of speculation. If money is needed borrow it from your local banks and break up the ininuitoiiR time hiiKiness. No farmer cau make money and pay a supply merchant 50 per cent for supplies to farm with. Let ua get together at New Orleans on January 24, 1905, and tbere agree upon fixed and definite plans by whicn we will be able in the future to control the price of our cotton and win our freedom from tbe dominion of the East. Accept my best wishes for your future success. Yours truly, Harvie Jordan, D rnai Hnn f PaHati O rA\U JL I tDlUUU l( UUUIUC1U VUblVU v?iVTT v*u Protective Association.
