"HOLD YOUR COTTON!" ADVISES C. S. BARRETT Farmers Union Does Not Intend To Let Bear Gamblers Rob I ke South." Union tMly, (ia., Aug. 149. Nu iit iml President Barrett, of the I.timers Union, u>duy made his I ihi official expression regarding Hie attitude of Unit big organization in the butt|t? that Is coining thin fall to maintain til? price Of cotton ai a proper level, "The Furmer? Union," says Pres ident llarreit, "1hhu??s an Invitation to the entire Houth to co-operatt with it In saving to this section many mlllioiiH of dol lars on the cot ton crop of lit 11-19 1it Ih for ih<? merchant, the huslneHs man, (he hanker, the Hiiiallent citizen, m has than the furtner, to figure the difference between eight or nine ? ??in oottoii and thirteen or four teen cent cotton. The fight we are going to win Ih not alone In behalf of the farmer. It Ih waged in the In intent, of i In- Southern business world, aw a whole, 'l'o that degree, It Ih not only the duty, but t ho In dividual profit, of?every eletgrnt in Ihtf Southern states to ,oin hands willi the Farmers union, to the end II.at the powerful machinery ol iIiIh organization may be brought to liar with complete huccess upon the present situation.* "To the fanner, whether or not n member of the Farmers union. Hi\ imperative advice Ih, 'Hold \ our cotton!' It Ih worth infinitely inore than the price now quoted. You should first go to your local I* inker, If you are in debt, and bor row Hiiffh lent money, with cotton as collateral, to enable you to hold. Your own banker known you bent, and it in to IiIh Interest to aid yon in tho fight. Should he fail yoit~ and I don't think he will you can drppTid upon uh for assistance. . "The Farmers union does not in tend that a clique of bear gamblers or domestic and foreign spinners shall combine to dictate the price of our product, or to rob the wee fion of a tremendous sum of money. I Ih for the South we are work ing. Now is the time for everj Southerner to prove his business In ns lit, and it is not the time for I \pocrltlcal pretensions. It Is a ? old matter of dollars and -cents, li the farmer suffers, the business n an, every business interest. suffers along with him. "It is no longerpossible to pro duce cotton for night or nine cents a: a profit. if we could return to the old prices for iuuIoh, supplies, farm machinery, land Itself, the proposition would bo feasible. Ilut ati we can not, the farmer iuuhI In s bi upon the price of IiIh product being maintained upon a level with thai Of every other product. "The Houth ought to he abundant ly able to finance and hold itu own principal product. The accomplish-j Iliei.it should be ii mailer of pride, a.i well as of common sense. Vra< - tical men realize tiiat. the cotton crop of (he opening season will not be nearly ho large as It bus boon reported. We who have Investi gated know that there will hn demand, at a fair price, for evory p 11 nd of the staple produced. The main thing Ih for the farmers, largo uiid small, organized anil organ!/ 0 I, i<> get together and resolve that t'.**y. will not bo cheated out of the 1 ult of their toll. "h'very solitary Southerner Ik In UMbied in the Hame result. And to each one, in whatever calling, I extend a Cordial invitation to wink wiili iih for his own monetary in terest. no lews than that of f'.ie f: 'mm Ah for the latter nnotn i<r seuHOit or two of fair prices n.eans absolute emancipation from debt. That thought should be nuf fi lent to nerve him for the battle ^ especially wh(Mi ho Ih assured as sistance in its winning. "Captain Keuhen F. Kolb, com missioner of agriculture of Ala bama, has called a meeting of the c: mmlssioners of agriculture of the Southern hi a ten, arid <>f all inter cited parties, barring none, to de v i^? it cans for maintaining the price o! 'cotton. This c nference will fol low the-Farmers union conveniion, t( he held at Shawnee, Okla., Sep I' ini??*r 5, and the convention will Ih liberally, If not a.s a body, rep resented at the conference. I urge ai! Southerners who realize the im portance of the occasion to meet with the commiBHionerB and with 11 "inhern of the Farmers union in t!ri* > (inference.C Let all come, not to (liscuKK the farfners' 'greatness,' which may he .taken for granted, nor any other subject but the se curing of a proper price for cotton. That Is a big enough Job for *i 'leathering composed of the Sotith'H hi st brains, and It should not be interfered with by 'hot air" or dis d s' fusions admirable in their way, hut without any hearing on the paramount issue. "Prompt ~ action taken by ihi* ojlnt conference, following the pol icies outlined at the Farmers union convention, will bring triumph In a campaign which no Southerner, however humble, can afford in self interest and patriotism ,to ignore.
