. There is something absolutely ai
in the history of cotton farmers of the
South. The sadness of it is made more
P-aiti as the va,st losses sustained by
tof more than a generation are
| -'’ought out by the present price of
! cotton.
What if cotton had brought a fair
price xor the past twenty-five years?
Ha\e you ever made a calculation to
see what it would have amounted to?
"iou may safely set. it down that the
price re etved for eo*ten has been little
more than one-half the sum the raiser
of the cotton should have received for
it. W hen he was paid 3c. it should
ha\e been at least 10c., and wh=n it
^as Tc., 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
York opportunity to accumulate mil
lions, and to press the South down and
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
fanner 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
j and independence.—Cotton and Cotton
I Oil News.
BE CAREFUL.
The time for the politicians to
swarm has arrived and they have be
gun to lay siege on the headquarters
: of the Farmers' Union. Some of the
1 State officials are getting letters ask
ing them to use their best efforts to
I secure the endorsement by the Union
| of certain candidates.
Golly! Aren't the politicians blind?
We have been telling them all the
time that the Farmers’ Union would
not endorse any man for any political
office, and that if any candidate
wanted the support of the members
of the Farmers’ Union, he had better
not ask the endorsement of the organ
| ization. The fact that he asked the
! organization to endrose him will cause
hundreds of our members to vote
against him. In other words, the boys
are determined to make the people
understand that the Farmers’ Union
will not go into politics.
The old politician can not beg, per
suade. scare or bulldoze us from out
position. There are a few men who
will be candidates for office that no
doubt the masses of the Farmers’
Union members will be favorable to.
but if such a man intimates that he
wants the endorsement of the Farm
ers’ Union, he will go down the pike
with the blackest eye ever toted by
a political pugilist.—Union News.
It is all stuff about the big crop this
year. Cotton is short, and the de
mand is good. No stocks are on hand.
It was only a few months ago that
some American mills reshipped cotton
from the old countries to fill orders.
Your cotton is as good as money, keep
it or get a good price for it.
Why They Fail.
Many fall down on sheep raising be
! cause they do not give enough atten
tion to the foundation stock. The
ewes must be strong enough and vig
orous. These are usually good milk
ers and they bring strong lambs.
Sheep are more financial than cattle
or hogs, and they need closer atten
tion.
LESSONS IN UNIONISM.
At the World's Fair in Chicago, long
before the Farmer's Union was
thought of. there, .was, a great lesson j
I In unionism. .
For years the "^rain speculators had
been keeping th««price of corn down ,
to the producers t&til it went down
to S cents a busieLH
The farms ofjfhe.grfat corn state ,
became mortgage*,*; ap^powrty was
written on almost1' every" farmer’s
home.
Out of this state of affairs grew an j
organization which the farmers joined
and stuck to. They did not simply
pass resolutions, but they carried out
the spirit of their resolutions to the !
letter, and raised the price of corn
from S cents a bushel «to 30 cents.
As a result of this the farmers of
Kansas sent a car load of paid-off
mortages to the great World’s Fair
in Chicago.
i nese mortgage* were luted by or
ganizing and sticking to the organi
zation.
Is this not a valuable lesson to our !
cotton farmers?
One year ago the Farmers’ Union
levied a special assessment of 10 cents !
per member in order to push its or
ganization in the great northwest
among the wheat growers.
These wheat growers were getting
from 30 to 45 cents a bushel for their
grain.
With the aid of the great organized
body of farmers known as the Farm
ers’ Union they set a price of $1 per
bushel. They won the fight by stick
ing to the minimum price.
It took courage and fidelity fib ac- j
complish this.
But one result is that it makes us
pay about $5.50 for flour. Now the
question: Can we of the South afford j
to meet these prices for flour, corn
and other things with cotton at less
than 15 cents per pound?
Most assuredly we can not.
We have a minimum price on our
great crop.
Will we get it?
Well, it’s our fault if we don’t.
We have our own system of ware
houses. They belong to us and there
Is no reason in the warld why we
6hould allow this infernal combination
of home spinners and Wall street ;
I gamblers to win.
Let us hold to the last minute.
We can sell to Europe and let the
home spinners go to the devil.
That’s what we will do. So don’t
cell, and don't let your non-union
neighbor sell, and don’t let the negro
sell.—Birmingham F. LT. Guide.
-—
Every man who owns a foot of land, j
and every one should at least own his
> homestead, if it is no bigger than a j
! city lot. should lose no time in seeing ;
that every place that will grow a tree j
! has one planted on it. The most im- :
! mediate crying demand of this country
is the cry for timber already coming j
up from many directions.
Diversification is not merely chang
: ins from one exclusive crop to anoth
er. It is the one crop idea that must j
be combatted. In some localities a fad j
is coming up for peanuts, and if the j
whole country goes to raising this crop
the price will go down to a losing fig
ure. Keep lu the middle of the road,
and don’t carry all the eggs in one
, basket. _
The Union should go carefully on
this matter of foreign immigration,
j At one time we were all foreign im
! migrants, so far as this country was
concerned. On the other hand, it is
j indisputable that this country is being
overrun with the undesirable elements
of some of the transatlantic countries.
Many of those now landing on our
shores have “left their countries for
their countries’ good,’’ and will be a
burden rather than a blessing to this
country. _
The Earth's Surface.
Two sisters, one tipping the scales
at 200 pounds or more, and the other
slight to extreme slimness, but beau
tiful, were being introduced at a re
ception.
“What’s her name?" whispered one
young man to a friend, referring to
the slim sister. “I didn’t catch it.”
"Virginia," answered the friend.
“Virginia!” repeated the young
man, in apparent surprise. “Then her
sister must be the whole United
States!”—Upplncott’a Magazine
