Thcy Propose to Organize and Stand by
Their Rights.
To the Editor of the Globe:
WELLS, Rice Co., Mimi, April 25, 1879
AS your paper has the largest circulation
among the farmers in this section of the
country, the Farmers club at their last town
ship meeting passed the following resolu-
tions, and ordered them to be sent to the
WEEKLY GLOBE for the benefit of your farm
er readers, knowing as you do the tiller of
the soil is the support of the country.
Now if there are any farmers wish to know
of our organization we would refer them to
w. G. Owing, post Office address, Faribault,
Rice county, Mimi, our corresponding secre-
tary. He will furnish them our constitution,
laws and bylaws that regulate our clubs.
Our clubs are always open to your report
ers. Our next meeting will be on Thursday
May l, 1879, at o'clock P. NJ. Tho WEEKLY
GLOBE of April 10, 1879 was at the last
meeting and to the people, it is the best
speaker we have, we would say that our
organization is no boys play. We mean
business, and that when our next legislature
meets again we will try and have the jokers
or brass testers bottom knocked out. We
prefer the half bushel.
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, There seems to be a unanimous
feeling with the farmers and laborirg men of
the State of Minnesota in regard to the price
Of their farm products and the wages of labor
ing men, and wages are low that the labor
ing men in large manufacturing establish
ments cannot buy the necesssaries OF life,
whereby the large corporations and m mnnopolies
that represent capital and muscle bear down SO
| hard on all farmers aud laboring men of the
Stota hat burdens Oattlnp heavy
| that we will not submit to the buyer having
all the say-so in defiance of all law and justice.
WHEREAS, The wheat-buyers' association
that met at the Merchants on the 9th inst. re-
pudiated our standard half bushel, and say
they will cling to the little brass joker, and
buy the farmers wheat in their false devices
| of weights and measures which the farmers dc
| not understands now therefore be it
Rcs01Ucd, That we, the farmers of the State
| of Minnesota thirty thousand strong, repu
diate all rings and combinations that are
| working to the detriment of the laboring ane
| farming communities; wherefore be it
ResolUcd, That we. the farmers of the Stat
of Minnesota will abide by the laws of Ou
State and use our utmost endeavors to hav
them faithfully carried out to the letter; nov
therefore
Resol,cd, That we, the farmers Of the Stat
of Minnesota, will not any longer bow to tn
unjust measures and weights of millers an
warehouse associations to defraud us of ou
Just weights; that we pledge our honor, ou
lives and our property to defend our right
that are given us by law. Now, therefore, be
Resozped further. That if offers his whea
