Let them SCI tehsat Pr0Hsisss at 10 cents
bItshsK, that has s0tbtHg to 10 5sitA real
grain
Spectators have sold more than your
| surplus crop already
What business have they to do that2
/ VIII you sanction their actions aad,
so to say, make them your agents by
delivering your grain at prices made by
/ them without even consulting you?
When the wheat gamblers hear Of a
determination on your part 70 hold
your grain for q higher price than they
have sold it for, IL is likely that they viii
[ make desperate efforts to further de
press prices on futures for the purpose
of soaring you
This must not affect YOU ia the least,
/ for il you hear that man has sold
| your horse or cow and has to deliver IL
in a certain time it is your luck be
cause he has to come to you first and
make his bargain and you viii know
what to charge him
Many people think that the sPecula-
ton for depressing prices is Offset by
/ speculation for high prices and that
| there must be a bull where there is a
bear.
This is entirely erroneous. for the
bear speculator sells principally to
lie IS the cause that there arc taco crops IN
the market eDsrg gear.
The buyer can easily take care Of
one, but as the farmers crop comes
/ later than the speculators' the farmer
| is the sufferer.
The spectators (nearly all prOfes-
| siOnal spectators are bears) viii not
like this circular. They will say it
/ emanates from some party who wants
| to sec wheat going up.
In this they are right-nost decided
| " right-and- we have to confess to it.
Our address is at the head of
/ this circular and we most sin
| cerely hope that you viii remember
| it, and our confession, that ace a5aHt to see
| acbcat going tlDj that t0s a5GHt TO see the
! farmers out Of d65t and farm property 70
/ HzuUerGtige, and tgS confess also that zoe
/ leiA 40 our best to help along to that end; and
/ that this article was written especially
] for that purpose, and that we intend to
| write similar articles on kindred sub
/ jccts, and II our efforts are appreciated
/ and sufficiently encouraged, We may
! even publish them in three languages.
| The daily press does not love the
! farmer since he shows political indie
/ pcudencc, and any move like this, cal
/ culnted to prove his strength, and inn
/ prove his condition, viii meet with a
| strong protest on their part.
They will probably cali this move a
| corner or trust, because such names arc
unpopular.
But what similarity is there between
/ a corner or trust and a move like this?
a set Of swindlers have sold your
/ property at n certain figure and want to
| force You 20 deliver it up at Q lower
! price so they can make a handsome
| profit
| Their mauiPulations have impover-
ished the farmer and they calculate
| that he is sufficiently reduced to be in
| a perfectly defenseles5 condition and
/ that his creditors will compel him to
| again become the victim of the specu-
| lator-
! If in view of a large deficiency of the
! crop, acknowledged by everybody, they
! succeed in forcing You to accept the
! lower prices for wheat, what can YOU
| expect when the worlds crop is abun-
/ dant?
Can it be called a corner or a trust,
| that you refuse to sacrifice your prop
! erty because the speculatOr has sold it
for you?
Is it not your right and indeed a
moral obligation to crush this swiudle,
! when you have it in your power?
No creditor viii compel you, nor can
compel yOus TO sell your crop for half
its value, when "a few weeks patience
must establish fair prices
Tell your creditors, and anyone who
! wants your wheat at half price, that
| in the last few months hundreds of
I million bushels Of wheat have been
/ sold by speculztOrs, that consequently
the market mtlSt be glutted with it, and
that you viii wait until that wheat is
eaten up before you offer yours.
! We assure yOu that these hundreds of
million bushels of windy wheat viii be
consumed very soon
Communicate this information to all
/ whom it viii, otherwise, fail to reach,
or who do not understand the language,
and in "a few weeks the iIIcgitimate
] speculation which has nearly ruined
you viii be a thing of the past
Let no man sci ths .JITmeF's pr3peTt q
Z 5sitl0lss his consent
Strong and iUdicious efforts are being

states, to put the farmer in position 20

and earnest cooperation because It
