THE FARMERS' UNION. 1

Far^-j's. ?

'f
i< tn ?. . some erroneous v
ideas w hut the Farmers'} t
I will . n Jeavor to lot tlvj.(
pee, . uiiow what tiie Farmers' ,
l*i ' r. is, as I understand it. The v
hll.: :> I 111011 IS ail organisation s
of f.?; n.t ;o try lo bet tor their con- f
ilitia . To enable funnels to meet g
certain existing eomiitious and pro- 0
_ jrtec.t their interests, we have oigan-j0
izeu the Fanners' Educational and a
Cooperative l*u ion of America and j
declare the following purposes: To I 4
establish justice. To secure equity, f
S., To apply the Golden Rule. Todis-10
courage the credit aud mortgage je
system, 'lo assist our members in L
buying and selling. To educate the j
agricultural class in scientific farm- a
ing. To teach farjners the classifi- ^
cation of crops, domestic economy L
and process of marketing. To svs-1 w
teruize methods "f production and j t
distribution. To eliuuuate gambling j
in farm products by boards of I v
trade, cotton exchauges and other ^
speculators. To bring farming up t
to the standard of other industries (_
and business enteiprises. To se- ,
cure and maintain profitable and -j
uniform prices for all farm products. n
To strive for harmony and good will j
among all mankind and brotherly t
love among ourselves. To gamer
the tears of the distressed, the blood j t
of martyrs, the laugh of innocent L
childhood, the sweat of honest labor ;8
?md the virtue of a happy home as I
the brightest jewels known. i a
Now, Mr Editor, the above is J v
the declaration of purposes of the j
Farmers' Union. I cau't sec any- j
thing in those declarations that can
be objectionable to any class or profession.
It stands without contradic*on
* that the farmers feed and
clothe the world and are ent'tled to ^
as good living as any class or pro- ^
feesion in the world. Are they ^
getting it? If uot, why uot? That ^
is one of the propositions that the ^
Farmars' Uuiou proposes to deal j T
with. All other professions ure or'u^anized
for their mutual beuefat and
% protection and has not the farmer
the same God given right? The ^
members of the Farmers' Union are v
not waging war against any other t
class of people, but limply propose t
foiry to take care of themselves. n
j. BTery other class of people is more v
^ or less dependent upon the farmer. u
Prosperous farmers make every body ?
else prosperous. It seems to me, fi
Mr Editor, that all other classes
should be willing to join hands with J
the farmer and help him on to pros* p
perity. The more money the farm* c
iag class has the more the mer- t
shant, banker, lawyer, doctor and 0
all other classes get, because if the ?
' formers have money they are going
10 spend it But if they have no C
money they ean't spend any, conse- C
queutlv Mr merchant, banker, y
lawyer, doctor, &c., can't get it. ^
Therefore, prosperous farmers make 0
prosperous business, while depressed v
farmers make depressed business b
conditions. > a
Now, brother farmers, rally to the o
Fanners' Union and let us work out f'
ll
fbr ourselves a more prosperous life a
than we have been enjoying hereto- 1'
fore,remembering that in nnity there ^
is strength. "United we stand; di- n
viewed we fall," Once there was an
old man that had seven sons and felt ii
an interest in their welfare. When he s
Iwas on his death-bed and all of his j",
sons were around, he told one of ^
them to go and briDg him some i]
good,stout switches. The son brought
them. The father then said: "Get a 0
cord and bind all seven tightly to- g(
gether." This the son did. Then his
father said, "Break them." But the ij
son could not break them. The father b
then told him to unbind them and ^
^wn^done. Then be said: "Take ?
one at the tinn- and break
\ttm." That was a small job,as they v
pere easily snapped in two. Then li
the aged father said to his sons: s
"J^ow, boys, you see that if you will 0
stand united no man can break you; "
but unless jou do you can be broken *
easily.Just so with us, brother ?
farmers. If you will unite and stand e
together we can accomplish our pur- y
pose. But if we act singly and inde- c
>cndently we will bt- like the Switch's.
very easily broken.
There atv a great nunc peopie who
.re rea ly to say that the Fanners'
"nion is a failure btenuiv tiny faild
to get l."> cents for cotton this
ear. If any such there be. please let
hem bear in iiiiikI that the farmers
re not or;:ani/.<.d yet. Also that no
;ivat tiling can be accomplished
without an effort being put fortii.
bippose that our foref;Un^^ wlio
ought in the devolutions
aid after the defeat of t
ans at Hunker Kill that u
ts" cause was a failure. Or late
fter those brave men had signeu
Vclaration of Independence on tin
th day of July, 177b, because they
ailed to get their independence with*

off in disgust and said the whole
hing was a failure. Yes, brother
armers, there were some in that day
nd time who said it was a failure.
Ye remember Benedict Arnold and
uch as he. We may expect to meet
fith snch in our warfare. But,
hank God, there were such men as
ohn Hancock, who said ffhen he
rrote his name on that declaration,
le wrote it in a bold hand so that
he king could read it; also Charles
'arroll of Carrollton. He, too, was
filling to take the consequences
["hank God, there are some braye
ueu enlisted in this struggle for independence
who are willing to risk
he consequences. Brother farmers,
f you all will unite yourselves with
he Farmers' Union and put your
rust in the living God, victory is
ure to crown oui efforts.
Now, Mr Editor, lest I weary you
ud this find the waste bask?t, I
rill stop now.

The Christmas Gift We Wast.
The following bit of sentiment
rom the pen of Tom Watson of
Georgia is one ot the most tiraey
and appropriate of the many
eautiful thoughts inspired by
he anniversary of the birth of
Iitr. who to Christian men and
romen is the source of every
ood and perfect gift:
Shall the tots have all the
an and all the good things
r'hen Christmas comes? Shall
hey and none others hang up
he stockings and pray tor relerabrance,
telling Santa Claus
.4-1 A
rnai mey want:
Is there no Kriss Kringle for
s older folks, no bringer of
lfts who shall remember us and
\ his gifts to our needs?
Go to! children?you shall
ave all you .want. Not an
rapty stocking should hang
itifully on any hearth, if we
ould have our way. If we could
ake each needy one of you into
ur arms and hearts, and make
ou happy;we would do it?God
mows we would.
But we older folk want Santa
!lnnc tr? hrinnr nc cnmpthincr.tno.
Jhristraas comes but once a
ear, you know, and here is our
irayer to the Bringer of gifts:
Bring us tender recollections
f all whom we have loved and
rho have loved us, and forgetulness
for old pains and disppointments.
Bring us a larger Charity for
ur fellow-man, and a constant
eraembrance of the truth that
F we knew what his burden is
nd what his troubles and his
imitations are, we would peraps
give him the warm hand
f encouragement instead ot the
lailed fist of condemnation.
Bring us the strength to keep
i the middle of the road, to
peak the right word, to do the
ight thing, regardless of earthv
reward?heedless of every
hing save the voice from witha.
Bring us Peace?peace with
ur neighbor, peace with our
oe, peace of mind and peace of
oul.
And, Santa Claus, do bring us,
[ you can, the feeling that we
ave not liyed in vain, have not
ought and toiled in vain, have
ut suffered and sacrificed in
ain, but that, after all, we have
one some little good in the
rorld, have sent some ray of
ight, some crumb of comfort,
ome inspiration into the lives

Stock is sometimes mueh better
than a stocking for saving money, as
a St Louis woman found out who
begged for the certificates of some
mining stock her husband was about
to cast into the tire as worthless.
She kept it, and the mine afterwards
turned out to be one of the wonders
of the age. Her fortune rune up
into the millions.
