THE SUPREME POWER.
The bank power is the supreme
power in this so-called Republic.
Grover Cleveland *Cd fifteen years ago
that Tty* bankstofi power to wreck the
Gove*ment in forty eight hours, and
he was in a position to know. The
merchants tremble before the banks.
The whole horde of speculators who
seek profits and gains by means other
than honest old hard work live in con
stant fear that the banks may slip a
cog and a]] their plans be “pled.” The
farmers—the Hass on whom all earth
ly hopes depend—do not know when
they put the cotton seed In the ground
whether the crop, after all the year’s
hard labor for themselves and their
families, will be worth thirteen cents
or ten cents or seven cents, because
they do not. know what the bank power
may decide to do. And as for the press,
■whether Democratic or Republican, it
is simply a megaphone for the banks.
The newspapers of the popular schools
of politics pretend to scrap over many
other matters, but when it comes to
backing up and sustaining a Federal
administration in any move that is ac
ceptable to the banks, no matter by
what party that administration was
placed In power, those newspapers are
all one in cheering the administration.
The National bank power is the su
preme power on this continent. The
banks want interest, not only on their
own money, but on yours and your
neighbor’s. It is for interest—un
earned increment—that they live and
operate. The people's Government
(so-called) has surrendered to the
banks (he most vital function of Gov
ernment, namely: that of issuing
money, and they have the power,
whenever it. suits their purpose, to
make money scarce, throw labor out
of employment, destroy the market for
your products and starve you and your
neighbor.
Think about it!—Fanners'Union.
There are bad roads where there
are no split log drags.
Get on good terms with the birds;
they are your best friends.
Get busy getting ready for next year.
It is the ready man who gets ali the
plums.
Take a day off to fight the imple
ment and vehicle trust by painting up
your vehicles and farming tools.
You owe it to yourself to do all and
to be all that is in you. Are you
measuring up to your responsibility.
It is about time to say again that
those in the boll weevil districts
should have a big burning of all trash.
Most of the people in this country
who are too busy talking about hard
times have simply read about it in the
papers.
The farmer who is trying to be a
Union m-n and is not keeping a few
stands of bees is making a sort of a
failure. Fact!
----—
There never has been enough good
eggs to flood the market, and most any
I sort of an old hen is willing to swap
, eggs for good feeding.
! The main issue this year is a good
■ crop of such a variety .hat there will
; be something to the credit side of the
ledger when the year is gone.
The potential enemies of the vehicle
trust that is getting the best of the
farmer are the good shed and a bucket
of very oily paint. Use both very
freely.
(let ready to raise plenty of fruit and
tomatoes. You can put up all you
can’t sell green, and the market is not
half supplied with stuff that is good.
Reports of full bags of birds are al
most daily heard on the streets and
in the mantime the farmer must some
up smiling next year in his fight
against the boll weevil.
The man who correctly foretells the
day on which cotton will reach 15
cents will eclipse any of the great
number who lay claim to fixing the
date on which Galveston was storm
swept.
The Santa Fe Railway is planting
trees to raise cross ties for future use.
If they have figured out this as a good
| investment, how much better it is for
j you to “plant a tree every time you
; have a chance ”
Encourage the building of the fac
tory. Every time you take a man out
of the field and put him into a factory,
i you ta’ e away one of your competi
tors, get a new customer and add a
competitor to your buying market—
three most admirable th'igs.
Get together and see what your Im
mediate neighborhood can do in the
way of co-operative buying of seed,
planting of crops and marketing the
same. The competition one has to
meet now demands this.
The first step toward the real ele
vation of the public school is the build
ing of good roads. This is a purely lo
cal matter. >\!ake the rc ads good and
you can consolidate the adjacent
schools and raise *be grade at once
and can hate better teachers and bet
ter houses
Even young and healthy trees are
continually dropping off leaves and
twigs. These are the rejected things
that are not for the well-being of the
tree life. In the same measure, any
sort of an organization will from time
to time cast off various exeressences
that are useless or burdensome. The
Union will lose from time to time
some of its one-time members, but so
long as the organization remains pure
and healthy, this means only the drop
p ng of a burden or an unnecessary
tiling. Keep healthy.
Good seed is half the crop. Select
the seed now for your main ciops.
The present financial pinch may
prove to be a good thing in an edu
cational w’ay, after all.
The postal savings bank is coming
on at a slow pace, but it is coming
all the same.
It is a common thing to find a lot
of sorry fixings for the chickens where
the man of the place is sorry.
There is no stability to a govern
ment of freedom and liberty, except
the citizens be home owners.
Don’t neglect your cough.
Statistics show that in New York City
alone over 200 people die every week from
consumption.
And most of these consumptives might
be living now if they had not neglected the
warning cough.
You know how quickly Scott9 s
Emulsion enables you to throw off a
cough or cold.

DEFRAUDED OF MILLIONS,
There Is something absolutely ad
In the history of cotton farmers of the
South. The sadness of it is made more
plain as the vast losses sustained by
th^m for more than a generation are
brought out by the present p;ice of
cotton.
What if cotton had brought a fair
price for the past twenty-five year ?
Have you ever made a calculation to
see what it would have amounted to?
You may safely set it down that, the
price received for co ten has been little
more than one-half the sum the raiser
of the cotton should have received for \
it. When he was paid 5c. it should
have been at least 10c., and when it j
was 7c., it would have been at least 14
but for the manipulation of the mar
kets and the inability of the traders of
the South to buy cotton.
There is no use to grieve over spilt
milk. The loss is irrecoverable. It
afforded the swindlers in New England
and the gambler of Liverpool and New
^ ork opportunity to accumulate mil
lions, and to press the South down and I
keep it down, but a better day is
breaking, and the thieves and enemies
are losing their power.
Cotton and Cotton Oil News is quite
sure that more than one force has con
tributed to the result. The Southern
farmer has grown stronger, and is bet
ter able to defy the price-fixers. The
cotton mill has come South. That is
the main help. Other nations are
eager to buy our cotton, and this has
brought out better bids of some of the
old robbers, and has forced them to
abandon their own game. Then, the
Farmers’ Union, the Southern Cotton
Association and other self-defensive or
ganizations have helped us into liberty
and independence.—Cotton and Cotton
Oil News.
