WHAT IS 7'IIE mOVBBLE
huh our farmers;
niTOB £WS -
Id onr last letter, we tried ... to show ,
the farmers did ... not . receive .
that
enough * for what they ... sold. W e are
about through with .. this .. part of , the .
discussion. _ To sum up the , whole , ,
matter, it amounts to about this The
farmer “pays too much for what
buys, and nett too little for what ^
We believe with all our hear,
that this is the leading cause of the
farmers present condition. V\ e alsf
said that there was a remedy, and that
we believed that the farmers
morning star was beginning to rise
We of course alluded to the “a ha,ice.
AVe have thought lor, setera years.
that the farmers all over the country
should organise. If the readers of the
JCfws remen,her, we wrote a little ar
tide for the Xkws, two or three years
ago, and argued that the ouly hope
for the farmers, was in organization,
Seeiugs the movements of the
causers to see the necessity of it now,
more, than ever btfore. Hon. W. J
Northen, one of our best men, said in
a speech delivered recently, that the
farmers were “organized, and well or¬
ganized - ” I thank the Lord that I
have lived to see this, because I believe
that rightly carried out, this is the
only hope of the farmers relief. See¬
ing the necessity for this, as I think 1
do, I regret very much that there are
some of our good farmers scattered
around over the emu try, who have
not as yet united with this organizi
tion, knowing as we do, that “monop¬
oly” is the order of the day. It does
seem that every farmer could see the
importance of the fanners alliance a jd
j >in. Still some people ask, and some
of them are farmers. Why do the
farmers whish to organize! I answer
first, because all other professions are
organized, even the drummers are, and
have their regular meetings. This be¬
ing the case bow do you expect, the
farmers the largest body of people by
odds, in the wholecruntry.
to one profession to get along without
it. In organization there is strength
a few men cannot accomplish much,
but several thousand united can “kick
up a good big dust,”and it is my opin
iou that if the farmers stick together
as they should do, they are going to
“kick up a right sharp dust” in some
quarters. Some people think the far¬
mers have organized to ruin the mer¬
chant, this is a mistake, the farmers
don’t wish to ruin any one, all they
want is, what is right and just, no one
should object to this. It is true the
merchant may have to sell for less per
cent, but many of them can do this,
and not be badly hurt. So I want to
say to those farmers who have not
joined the "‘alliance,” that the farmers
have organized for their own “benefit,
and protection” if there is a farmer in
th is broad land who does not desire to
be benefited, I would like for him to
hold up his hand. A/any good things
can be accomplished by the alliance,
farmers meeting together as they do,
can better look after the education of
their children. When the right kind
0 [ “material” is educated, then educa¬
tion is a power, the farmers have some
good material that chould be looked
after. The alliance can teach the pee
pie by example, not to be too proud.
Some people nearly ruin themselves
financially trying to keep in style with
more prosperous people, let the alli¬
ance teach that integrity and brains
can be found in common as well as
iu fine clothing, and on horse back as
well as in fine buggies, let us be taught
not buy too much, never to go beyond
our income, let us be taught to raise
more of what we use at home, to nev¬
er be caught hauling corn, oats, or hsy
from towns. Let the farmer be pre
pared at all times to fight “trusts” of
all kinds. We are now engaged in
our first great fight, the “jute bagging
trust,” letevery farmer stand square to
his collars, and act like men in this
fight. No doubt but what jute bag¬
ging will be cheap this fall, and some
farmers may be tempted to use it, if
such a thought should enter our
brain, we should think of what we had
to pay for it last fall and patronize the
“cause” that brought it down, how
can we expect to whip the fight, and
at the same time patronize the same
“concern we are fighting.” We Bee in
the Atlanta Journal, that the County
Alliance of Jasper county, has pledged
itself that no alhancemen iu the
any county would trade with house or
firm that bought., kept, or deal tin any
jute bagging this year. A member
of our-alliance could not attend one of
hit meetings recently, bat sent word to
go ahead and adopt ootton baggier,
that be would u«e it, if It costa thirty
cents a yard, this is the right kind of
spirit, and if it was instilled in every
farmers bosom the battle would al
ready be won. I think the farmers
will have to make another fight, and
they should begin right now, to pre¬
pare for it. I allude to the “guano
trusts,” the idea of gnano men, trying
to force the farmer, the one that u.-ci
the guano, to buy altogether through {
merchants, if the farmers do this, j
then I will be deceived. If a Ur,no
wishes to buy guano from a merchant
let aim do so, but those who wish to
buy / direct from the manufacture, wb\
'
let tlrcm do so. I think the
should ..... begin . to .... their

we woulJ nQt need a very , arge con _
cern. A cotton seed oil mill, could
run connection with it, this
would supply a large and spledid in
gredient for the gnano. I think the
money could be easily raised is the
counties named, something of the
kind will have to be done, and I hop* ;
the farmers will think about it, one j
other thought, there are too many !
“middle men” and if they wont work
for a little less per cent, then the far¬
mers shouid do their own work. I
will illustrate my meaning, this way.
Say that the farMsrs of Lincoln coun¬
ty want flour, let each Sub-alliance
find out the amount thev need and re¬
port to the county alliancr, say that
the county needs a thousand barrels,
let the proper officer send an order to
the manufacture for this an:o mt of
flour, shipped to Washington, Ga.,
•say that we only save one dollars on
the barrel this would be one thousand
saved to the farmers of Lincoln on one
little lot of flour, other things can be
done the samo way. Again I think
that the alliance has the’ power to
raise the price of cotton, if you will
give the farmer twelve cents for their
cotton, they will be as prosperous as
those of any other profession. When
the farmers are prosperous, it makes
all kinds ot business lively, and every
body else is prosperous. I will not
undertake here to explain how the al¬
liance can raise the price of cotton,
but will simply remark, fhat the far¬
mers properly organized can do, “just
anything they want to do.” For fear
I may worry you and your readers,
Mr. Editor, I will now close this dis¬
cussion. But in conclusion let me
say to those whe h ave not joined us
Friends come out and join, and help
us to turn the wheel, that I believe is
to “roll and roll” until it crushes out
everything that tries to bear down so
heavily upon the farmers,
