'Iftbeprloes for labor, males and man; otber tblDgs that are la It too produce cottoi now are doable wbat It was wben we got flvi cents for cotton, there Is no more profit fo lOo. cotton now tban there was baok yonde wben we got only 5c lor cotton. If yon can't get profitable prices for you cotton, what Is tbe nae of selling It al or be low oout and keep on cllmblDg up a greasec pole and then sliding down ugaln, bustlni tbe bottom oat of yoar constitution again# the hard ground. Farmer's Union prloe, lie., will give you i profit for your cotton! 10a and below wll rob yoa and many others who are dependen upon tbe prosperity ol tbe farmer. Tbe strength of tbe Farmer's Union Is bull and maintained on our faith lu one anolbei If the miner should strike a rich velu tba would bring blm in three times tbe ainoun of profit for the fame outlay, has the world c trade claimed this Increase 01 fortune of tbl minei? Well, then, how oould the speculate or trader demand any p*rt of the rortunat increase In tbe boantllul crops of tbe cotto termer? Xbere Is absolutely no suoh thing In it thee days like the supply and demand governln tbe prices if the pro-incers of cotton prepar themselves to take care of their surplus pr< UtiClB lie UO BcIiolUic OUBIDCHB mCU ID UtUC occupation?. There Is only one legitimate way of makln id oney sod that Is by creating wealth by pre da clog something, aDd when the farmer ha id ade hla money by b)6 Industry It Is tb part of wisdom on bis part to prepare hla j;- self to hosband this fortune for bis own b Joining hla faith with his own craftsmen. ! >* About the Cotton Aaaoclailon Hint mum Prices. That was a great big skip, bop and a Jura ; forward and upwards tbat the Cotton A?-sool atlon made when It dlsoovered tbe leakazi , at Washington and Jumped from 11c. to 1& | for ootton. But tbey have made a b of a fall back t wards wben they tumbled from 15c. to 10c ior couna ana virtually made an attempt i< *' screen Rlobard Cbeatbam bis association With cotton gamblers. ? Since the rales of the Farmer's Union lor w hlda admittance in the order of any one ex oept farmers, some of onr best Union mei think tbat we need some sort of an organize lion where the whole business fraternity c the South can meet with the producers c i cotton In one grand council for the com mo f good of onr whole Interest, whose prosperlt; ' depends upon profitable prices lor the South' great money crop, cotton. ? There is no getting aronnd tb? fact tbat tb growers of cotton tbould have the aid of mot all other business oocupa*Ions In the Sout to baok them In tbelr tflorte to malntal profitable prices for cotton In the r>eginuln of the season, and It Is to the mutual benefi of onr whole interest to do It. As ootton Is king we should like the nam "Southern Cotton Association." The bnslness farmer need not lose an piestlge, manhood or anything by bis pat tlcipatlon In a ootton conference for tb good of the whole country. In fact the Fai mer's Union men could galp much buslnee knowledge by tbls rubbing op against bus ness men in other occupations. If the Cotton Association conld purge fror Its membership all tbat cotton gambling ele ment, no doubt Farmer's Union men coul then claim kin with thtm and Join in wit hum with unma rlooroo r\1 AnnflHnnrfl 1 K maintaining profitable prices for cotton. If It la trne tbat tbe cotton farmer has mad a fine crop tbis etasen this good fortune bi long* to tbe former wbo dag It out of lb earth,and the farmer cap keep tbl* goo forlone fort&enseof hlmrclf if be will oni Join In a concert of action among cottou pre .dooers to lake bis cotton baok bome from a R-T ' tbe streets every tjme tbat tbe price drop ; below 11a If you owe bills, don't dodge your credlto: bnt go right op to blm like a man and, If yo cannot arrange matters wltb blm to belp yo 1 keep your cotton off of* glutttf) and depresf ed market, tben your last cbance lc to stoi your cotton in a warehouse and give you creditor tbe benefit of all tbat you can get o yonr cotton. Be sure to act bonest an tqoare wltb yoar creditors every time an tben yon can't belp from reeling comfortabl abont It, When we come dow n to earnest buslnet consideration of tbe present cotton mark< It Is mucb easier now to raise tbe price trot 10c. to 11a tban it was to raise it iroin 7c. t ( 10c. lor oar "04 crop. I d im our Farmer's Ur ion membersnip was less than four huudre thousand member*; now our membersbl goes over six hundred thousand nod cotto larmere now owe less money and bave moi icod croi.it too. When we lake Into consideration these fact , tbat as our members produce from a fe' baits each rp to 110, ana now and ibeu som reach 600 to 1,000 bale*, 11 would appear to b * a reasonable calculation to put tbe Union a as average of say IS bales. Now, If tbe Uulo will retire from tbe market an average of or )y Ave balestacb, this would take In bau three million bales and make It easy for tb Union to demand and get profitable price lor their cotton. % The farmer in :heSouth who has made a goo crop of cotton and sells It at a profit, baa add ed Just tbe amount of bis profits to the wealll oi the South. He has gained Just the amoun of tnls profit to his owu wealtn without mafc lng anybody poorer. Tbeoe profits thus d< rived?tbat can only be had by profitabl Drloes for ootton? enables tbe farmer to d ?v ol all bU bill*. Tbe merchant and supply men g< Ibelr profits, the baoker unm bis interest, id fertilizer men get tbelr profits and the mule man exchanges bis white paper money fo legal lender and Is tremeudoueiy bappj Best of all, tbere isbUII money lelt to pay tb preacher, tbe doctor aad the school teachers Look at tbeaiflerence. Suppose we all ge alarmed at oar own success in making a fin crop?the very tblng that we started ont I , do In (he beginning of tbe year?and this be lng tbe very thing, too, that all those credl tors of ours wUbtd lor, and tben ibe farmer gel to rushing and racing with each other li Nee wbo oan get tbelr cotton oQ first before 1 falls In price, then a regular stampede en sues and tbe price runs down away belov oost.
