The farmers movement to-day has a
thousand times more 10 fear from the
apostate Crawford, who has betrayed and
deserted them once, than from all the
planters and farmers Of North Carolina,
or all the shoemakars Of Massachusetts,,
whom we may choose 10 lead us. II Is
not the south that is IN the saddle to-day,
but Wall street and London, The golden
spurs Of our masters are sinking deeper
into our qulvering flesh, causing a greater
flow Of sweat, blood and tears from a dis
tressed people than King George or the
southern slave power ever attempted.
Everything that is buyable in America Is
being bought by theLOndon money power
This is the foundation Of the slavery that
Is upon us. We must either conquer II
or transmit II to our children, down to
unborn generations. Americans, what
will you doP That London money power,
rich, naughty and powerful, from the
robbery Of India, Burmah, Turkey and
Egypt, and all the world where robbery
could be committed, now owns and con
trolls our railroads. II is buying our
lands, our mines, our stock yards, our
elevators, our mills, our best industries,
and everything that is buyable that will
yield an income. The prices we must
pay for the use Of every necessity Of civ
ilized life will be fixed in London and
enforced by their agents and attorneys In
America. Neither i. Il. Polk, the plan
ter Of North Carolina, nor Ralph Beau
mont, the Massachusetts, shoemaker, nor
beth Of them together, can hurt us as
London and Wall street are doing The
fact is, Beaumont and Polk are in the
same boat with us, and must make com
mon cause with us, or they and theirs
must suffer the same merCiless slavery.
Our enemies are in Wall street and Lon
don. "Up, guards, and at them" Craw-
ford Is but hired Hessian, who, for the
same pay, would have stayed with the
farmers movement But he is an enemy
and must be beaten, as Stark beat the
red-coat hlrelings at Bennington august
10, 1777,) or "Molly Stark sleeps widow
