SOME ASPECTS or Til
• FARMER!
By Benurt M. Rarndi
(Reprinted from Atlantic Monthly)
(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)

Now that tha fanner* art .sttrriBf,
thinking, and uniting aa oerer before
to eradicate theae loeqealltle*, they
are aobjected te etern econdane the*
tarea, and are met with the eccoaatloa
that they are demanding, and are the
recipient* of, apodal privilege*. Let
u* aee what privileges the government
baa conferred on the farmers. Much
has been made of Section 0 of the
Clayton Antl-Traat Act, which par-
ported to permit them to combine with
immunity, under certain conditions.
Admitting that, nominally, this ex
emption was In the nature of a special
privilege,—though I think It waa so la
appearance rather than In fact.—we
And that the coarta have nullified It
by Judicial Interpretation. Why should
not the farmers be permitted to a^
complish by co-operative methods what
other businesses are already doing by
co-operation In the form of Incorpora-
tlonf If It be proper for men to form,
by fusion of existing corporations or
otherwise, a corporation that controls
the entire production of a commodity,
or a large pert of it, why IS It not
proper for a group of fanners to unite
for the marketing of their common
products, either In one or In several
selling agendas? Why should It be
right for a hundred thousand corporate
shareholders to direct 26 or 80 or 40
per coot of aa Industry, and wrong for
a hundred thousand co-operative
farmers to control e no larger proper
tioe of the whnat crop, or cotton, or
say other product ?
The Department of AgHrultsr* la
often apoken of as a special concession
to the farmers, but la Its commerdal
roentta. It la of as mnch beosflt to the
of egrlruitoral

It would S»*rD
to tod a way for the farmers to
thorn under the same eondltlooa The
law should eperute equally in fact Re*
pairing the economic structure on one
aide Is ao Injustice to the other side,
which la in good repair.
We have traveled a long way from
the old conception of government aa
merely a defensive and poddng agency;
and regulative, corrective, or equalis
ing .legislatlop, which apparently la of
a apodal uaturo, la often of the most
general beneficial consequences. Even
the First Congress passed • tariff ad
that was avowedly for the protection
uf manufacturers; but a protective
tariff always has been defended as a
means of promoting tbe general good
through a particular approach; and
tbe statute books ere filled with acta
Cor the benefit of shipping, commerce,
and labor.
IT
Now, what is tha fanner asking?
Without trying to catalogue the re
medial measures that have been sug
gested In hla behalf, the principal pro-
pooals that bear directly on the Im
provement of hla distributing and mar
keting relations may bo summarized aa
follows
First: storage warehouses for cot
ton,' wool, and tobacco, and elevators
for grain, of sufficient capadty to meet
the maximum demand on them at tbe
peak of the marketing period. The
farmer thinks that either private capi
tal must furnish these fadlltles. or the
state must erect and own the sieve-
tors and warehouses.
Second: weighing and grading of
agricultural products, and certlflcaUoa
thereof, to be done by Impartial and
disinterested public Inspector* (this Is
already accomplished to some extent
by the federal licensing of weighers
and graders), to aUmtnata underpay-
leg. overcharging and enfalr grading,
and to facilitate the otilltatloo of the |
stored products as the basis ef credit
Third; a certainty of credit sedMont J Bnmerell. and L. Hill, of Beraelin,

be the grand-daughter of the* de
ceased. I, therefore, cSn speak with
knowledge end authority. In her In
tercourse with her friends'and with
ell the permitted to her society, ahe
waa liberally loved. She loved to
ameliorate the distress of others to
the'extent of her means, and it was
ever her aim to calm the passions of
the contentious, and to hush the
voice of complaint rather than to
encourage or stir up strife and
animosity. \
She was too perfect in all her work
and undertakings for . the most
malignant, to cast a blot or a shade
upon her memory. She united with
the Treadway Baptist church in her
young days and was very enthusias
tic over religion. The Scripture of
her heart was:
• -T*— r ’ •**- f' • -
“Ho, every one that thirsteth come
unto the waters.”
In the article of death, she spoke
of her approaching dissolution with
the calmness of a philosopher, and
the courage of a heroine.
She was married to the late Lewis
Hill of Edgefield county on Dec. 24,
1854. After his death she made her
home with her oldest son, Mr. James
Hill. She lived with him 36 years,
and for several months before’ her
death ahe was an invalid. After
physicians or human hands coul<j do
no good, God was sufficient to ease
her pain and so easy. Her death was
like a kind deed to her, it seemed t°
be such a relief. We laid her to rest

the rail ways are being favored with

of earnings by the government, with
the result to him of au 'ncreased toll
on all that he sells and all that he

tlons of governmental concern for par

cuing the railways from Insolvency Is
undoubtedly for the benefit of the
country as a whole, but whut can be
of more general benefit than encour
agement of ample production of the
principal necessaries of life and their
even flow from contented producers to
satisfied consumers?
While It may be conceded that
special governmental aM may be nec
essary in the general interest, we must
all agree that It Is difficult to see why
agriculture and the production and dls
trlbutlijin of farm products are not ac
corded the same opportunities that are
provided for other businesses; espe
cially a- the enjoyment by the farmer
of auch opportunities would appear to
