If there ever vm time when unity
of action should be the watchword of
the hour, thst time has now come to
the Farmers Union.
lam not one of its members. By
reason of being a lawyer I am not
permitted to join, but not in all their
number have they a single member
who wishes more for their success
than I.
To you members of the Lnion I
wish to say that the fight of your
existence is now on to a finish. The
Wall Street speculator and the cot
ton buying world is arrayed against
you,
You have fixed- 15 f as the price on
our cotton and this has caused an in
dignation on the part of the “bears”.
Not because your cotton is not
worth per pound, but because you
have dared to say what you demand
for it.
The purchasing world has so long
fixed the price that they now grow in
dignent that you should say what
cotton should bring.
We know well that the law of sup
ply and demand regulates the price of
any commodity, but with the facili
ties of the Farmers Union to gather
information, you have learned that
with the present demand for cotton
and with the prospective supply from
this crep and the cost of production
taken in consideration your cotton is
worth 15c per pound. Will you get
15# for your cotton?
That depends absolutely on your
fidelity to the Uuion. Your organi
zation is splendidly officered Nation
ally, state, County and district.
Have faith and confidence in their
judgement in fixing the price of our
cotton, st, md shoul ler to slr-cldcr
with each other and you will win
without a doubt. Don’t sell for less
thun the price fixed by the Union.
Your leaders will devise a plan
whereby you can keep your cotton off
the market, so don't become panic
stricken and depress the market by
throwing up your hands and surrend
ering to your enemy and offering
your cotton lor sale at a price less
than fixed by the Union.
Nothing has helped the farmer as
much as the Union and to loose this
fight means disaster for the organiza
tion, so let every tnember.be true and
faithful in the fight.
For me, I shall do. and am doing
all that I can to help win t e fight.
Victory for the Union means vic
tory for all of us.
Every body should fall in line and
di all they can to win the fight which
ij being made for 15f cotton. If any
body, MATTERS NOT WHO THEY
ARE. hinders the Union in tnis fight,
they are enemies to the best interest
of the South and the sooner we find
out who they are the better it will be
tor us all.
I have heard such talk as boy-cot
tlng every member of the Union and
not doallng with him or buying his
cotton at anv price.
To every member of the Union I
would say, locate the man or men, if
there be any, who have such senti
ments because they are your deadli
est enemy.
That, kind ot talk is all popy-rot.
Hold your cotton and demand the
price fixed by the Union and you will
get it.
