Like me, these men were so miic.lt than deratriick by Mr. Jordan’s attitude that they adopted resolution* nuking the fsruiera of the Mouth to |»Ny no more attention to his advice on the Mtilijrct of cotton. That Wsshlugtou interview «.f Mr. Jor dan’s has already cost the farmers of the Houtli mlllfoti* of dollars, and other Inter views published since that tltne have had almost as had an effect. For Instance, my nttentlou was«c*llrd s few days ago tp recent statements given out by him In which, while ostensibly catch ing on to the 11-cent book of the Fanners’ Union after having refused to join pa In Using that as the minimum aal* price, he advises (lie farmers to keep In view tile fact that "1ft cents Is the dead line” under which they should not think of Helling, and then goes cn to say. lu effect, that It Is nil right to hold f»r 11 cents, for lie liellcrea the fanners are entitled to that much for every bale of cotton grown thla year. If he Iteifeve* that, why lu the name of com mon sense did he refer to 10 cents as the "dend line," prnctl^nlly advising the farm ers to sell nr 10 rents, notwithstanding otir effort to hold at It rants, the price already crossed, ns the result of the Farmers' I nton declaration. Mr. Jordan’s persistant talk about M-cant cotton makes It nil the banter for us to keep the price at 11 cents. If he must talk at nil. he might not to talk 10-ceut cotton, for ue are having more trouble with hla Interviews thin year then we are having from the (tears of Wall street. hi thla connection, let me say pointedly tbsr we will never solve the <*id!oi/ path. lema of the Mouth If fnrmcrs’ organizations are to t»e run ns adjuncts of Wall street.
