cial elevation of the agricultural and working
classes of the country. to guard and protect
them against fraud, to assist them in their
work, and to stand by them in all their struggles
No ANTAGONIST to classes. No war will
be waged against other classes SO long as they
make no war upon the industrial classes. The
law of mutual dependence is fully recognized
and acknowledged, in all its force and potency,
and, therefore, it would be unjust to attack any
class whose aim is, in legitimate way, to pro-
tect itself and to secure those immunites essea-
tial to its own existence. The farmers and
working classes, however, must
ORGANIZE FOR THEIR OWN PROrEC-
TON.
And in doing 80, they are simply obeying the
promptings OF an instinct and an impulse.
which, to-day, is swaying and controlling all
classes in the United States. Mutual protec-
ton is what they demand, and Is what they
will have at all reasonable hazards. THE

stimulate the growth of this sentiment, believ'
ing it to be essential to the happiness and pros.
perity of the classes in question.
