rarmers' Cotton Exchange.
Why not producers of cotton run
11heir own cotton exchange, and have
their own- prices published in tle
newspapers?
Who has a better right to do this
business for the cotton growers than
the cotton growers themselves?
Cotton farmers, just because you
have been acting silly all your days by
allowing others to price your stuff for
you is no good reason why you should
continue along this silly line when you
now know better how to attend to
yo,nr own affairs lining up in an or
ganized way with your fellow crafts
men who are in with you.
Come across, brother, and join the
Farmers' Union.
Where is the fairness in making the
cotton growers lose the bagging and
ties while these same Manchester
spinners make consumers of their
manufactured products piy for tie
boxing and wrappings?
. TheAe conditions of trade could not
exist if the producers of cotton would
come together in an organized body
and put their best business men in
charge of their affairs of trade as do
these Manchester spinners.
Educate the farmer in his business
and he will soon learn that the only
way that he can ever expect to take
care of his own interest in setting a
profitable price on his cotton is tc
combine his strength with others sc
as to meet combination with combina.
tion. Come along and join the Farm.
ers' Union.
Farmers, wake up, and figlit ime
!cssfully inl your owN1 battles. You
imlve labored. stru-g-led, atd paid
taxes for others. an11d upon Olir in
teiigenee and thrift, today, depen(i
the welfare alid prosperity of the na
tion. You have been soldiers of civ
ifization. We have reduced a wilder
iess *) subjection and have made it
fruitful. You have endured loneliness,
hardship, severe toil and privation in
order that others might he fed. The
factory, the railroad, and the mill ail
live off the farm. People talk of la
bor f's the source of wealth, and so
is it, but it is the labor of the farmer,
pnd yet, these men, who should be the
most independent men in the world,
are dependent on the captains of in
ustry, the promoter, the labor lead
er, and the cotton bears. It is time to
end this dependence. And unless the
farmers arouse themselves, they will
have to be content to have their busi
ness controlled by others, and be call
*ed a fool or a hayseed, alwvays.
It may be asked, why tihe specula
tors, etc., object to the organizatior
f the farmers? Ther'e are many rea
sons, each of which is an argument in
fvor of the former organization,
hen considered from thme fame'
oint of viewv.
We -farmers have est ablished this
*nion in order to establish justice,
rovide for the 'ommhionl defense, pro
mote the general welfare, and secure
thme b)lessings of liberty' to ourselves
and our prosperity.
To fight the hal tIe alonie is to be
lost. Association with others is ai
absolute necessit.y if we would be sue
eessful. In Union there is strengtli
and success. We can see this illus
*tration every day in tihe busines

The Farmer's Individualism.
Farming is virt-ually the only gr<
series of occupations that is unorgi
ized, unsyndicated, unmonopoliz
uncontrolled, except as it is doninal
by natural laws of dommerce and I
arbitrary limitations imposed by
ganization in other business. In
time of extreme organization and si
ordination of the iidividual the f
iner still retains his traditional in
vidualism and economie separaten<
His entire scheMe of life rests on
trinsic earning by means of his o
efforts. The scheme in most ot]
businesses is to make profits, *1
these profits are often nonintrin
and fictitious, as, for example, in
habit of gambling in stocks, in wh:
thle speculator by mere shrewdn
turns over his money to advanta
but earns nothing in the process a
contribuites nothing to civilization
the effort. If the farmer steps outsi
his own realm lie is met on one si
by organized capmital and on the oti
by organizedl labor. What he himns
secures is a remiaindler left at thee
of a year's business.-Cent ury.
