Cooperation in Georgia.

There have been many new enterprises
inaugurated here this year, and the
beauty of it is they are all successful in
every respect. The latest and by far
one of the largest yet started is the or
ganization of joint stock company by
the farmers styled "The Farmers Co.
operative union," with an authorized
capital of 800, 1000. The charter is being
drafted. and the enterprise will be per-
manently organized as soon as the char
ter is granted, and business will be OPEN
ed to the public with Fort Valley as the
main place Of operations.
Capitalists are offering the enterprise
unlimited amounts of money, but the
stock will be first offered to the farmers
and the shares are put at price that
will enable every farmer in the county
to be a stakeholder. The stock is being
taken very fast, and when all the farm
ers get slice there will only be small
amount left for the capitalists.
It will be the policy of the company
to see that the farmers maintain con-
trolling interest in the union. It asks
in it's charter to be allowed to buy,
sell and handle anything on commission,
and it will be Of untold benefit to Fort
Valley, as it will bring trade here that
now goes to other markets. The COM
pany is not formed to injure any ones
business or interest, but prominent Al
lance man said that "the farmers have
been educated by the Alliance up to the
point where they feel able at least to
manage part of their affairs. and that
they intend to do it from now on" The
union will be managed by board of
directors, elected by the stockholders an
nually, and much good is anticipated for
the town from the influence of the union.

Middlemen Get the Cream.

The prominent milk merchants of this
city scout as ridiculous the proposed
scheme of some of the farmers of Chester
and Delaware counties to supply Phila-
delphia milk drinkers with their temper
ance beverage at four cents quart.
The farmers have begun to talk of be-
coming middlemen and establishing a
city agency of their own in order to &C.
celerate the sale Of the surplus stock.
They propose that milk should be sold
out of stores and groceries, and by this
means the present expensive system of
milk delivery by costly teams and wag-
ons could be done away with. They
hold that if city consumers support this
undertaking with the proper spirit the
consumers aforesaid will secure their
milk at a reasonable revenue.
In view of the fact that many men,
bers of the Milk exchange still maintain
the eight cent standard after some
among them have lowered the price to
six cents quart dairymen have stopped
to probe into the perplexing problem of
how it is that such an exorbitant tax is
levied when they are receiving for their
best milk at the creameries only one and
a half cents at this Philadelphia

The Farmers League.

This organization is designed as an ad-
junct or supplement to the Grange, Far
mers' Alliance and similar orders The
latter are devoted to the farmers i'm
provement socially and educationally,
and to assist him in buying and selling.
The league, on the contrary, devotes it's
attention wholly to politics, and aims to
afford q simple form of organization
through which farmers may exert, in
their. respective parties, the power and
influence which they possess as the lar:,,
est body of electors and the heaviest tax
payers in the country. In the language
of the secretary of the National Farmers
league, Herbert Myrick, of Springfield
Mass: 1.-THE Farmers league is de-
signed to enable farmers to carry into
practical politics the reforms they de-
sire. Instead of grumbling at present
laws and taxes, the farmers have only
to unite in the league to secure for their
demands the Endorsement Of both par
ties and all candidates. This being
done, the election is conducted on party
lines, and the farmers interests win,
whichever candidate succeeds. In short,
through the league farmers can do what
has been called the dirty work of poll
tics, but which will no longer be dirty
work when done in all parties by the re-
spectacle, conservative and intelligent
farmers and real estate owners Of the
country" It is stated that the league
is making rapid progress throughout the
entire country. and. that it has the sup
port and cooperation of all existing
farmers organizations.

The call for convention of Alliance
delegates at st. Paul, Mimi, to nomi-
nate state officers contained the follow
ing:
The state Of Minnesota created Q rail
road commission to stand between the
people and the roads, to prevent the lat
ter from exacting exorbitant rates.
These roads are the creation of the state
and hold their charters from the state.
Yet this same supreme court has decided
that these creations are greater than
their creator; that part is greater than
the whole; that the state who made the
roads has no power to regulate and gov
ern them until it gets permission from
this autocrat tribunal of the American
republic.
In the case of the law prohibiting the
sale of dressed beef, which your leg
islature passed to protect the public
health. this same court has enacted the
role OF schOolmaster and descended to
administer lecture to your legislat-
ure, charging them with insincerity and
lying in that they justified the law on
the ground of protecting the public
health, when in reality the object of the
law was something else The Dred-Scott
decision rendered the name Of fancy in
famous for the reason that it made slav-
cry national and compelled freemen to
become slave catchers. These judges
aspire to even a greater sublimity of in
fanny, because their decisions contem-
plate the enslavement of the whole
American people. A long seriesof other

ton of silver and the shrinkage Of the
currency, in the monstrous growth Of
protection and class legislation IN the

mad in the advance to prohibitive duties.
No party has had the courage to under
take to free us from these and kindred
evils, but are rather responsible for these
impositions; therefore we organize to 70

M strikes or Lockouts.

There are never any strikes OF lock
outs in farming community. The
farmer works from early morn until late
at night, for what-to help pay divi-
dend? No, but to pay the taxes, and it
may be to raise mortgage on the place.
He helps the giant monopolies of the
country to declare large dividends, the
railroad corporations to build more
roads through his farm and pay him as
little damage as possible, and when he
wants to send his grain to the city they
will charge just what they see fit for
freight, and when you get it there the
price is already established. You must
take Just what they say or go along.
Now the farmer should say what his
produce is worth just as much as the
manufacturer says what his goods are
worth. Mechanicsburg Pa.) Grange

They Have the Power.

If the farmers and laborers of America
fail to control the organization of the
next congress it will be for the reason
that they do not wish to do so. If they
can be fooled now with all their organi-
zation and all their experience there is
no telling to what extent robbery and
oppression may safely go in the United
States without creating revolt. If the
American people will submit to present
evils and insist on hiring the same old
set of scoundrels over again, they should
not squeal when their feet are in the
trap.-Iowa Tribune.
