"ls there any disposition in your
nelghborhood Mr.. Weaver to reduce
the acreage of cotton2" was asked.
There is some talk about it but I
reckon every man will plant
all the ground he can get broke
including all the sod land, and now
and then rented patch. That's nv
advice to my neighbors. | believe
every farmer ought to raise all the

crop he is bound to plant ot.on. Got.
ton is m ghty low, grant you, but if
one bale brings $50, two bales will
bring $50, and if that is our oplv
money crop I would like to know how
we can help ourselves.
81 have heard great deal about
over production as being the cause of
the low price in cotton but | don't be.
lleVe word of it. Why, in 1867
cotton sold here in Waco at 4 cents a
pound and everybody was afraid of it
at that price. was raising cotton then
IN the Brazos Bottom and in common
with every other cotton raiser, wanted
to know why cotton sud
denly dropped SO low.
L was told then as am now that it
was overproductiou, that we were
raising too much of it, we had better
plant less cotton and n ore corn and
other grain. The next year o,tton
opened up at 10 cents and before the
season closed went to IS.

Insincere Antisilver Men.

The utter insincerity of the antisilver
men is beyond belief-if they give the
people credit for any intelligence at all.
When they condemn in such fierce terms
the silver dollar because it only costs
seventy cents to produce the silver in it,
one would suppose of course that it cost
100 cents to produce the gold in the gold
dollar. But what is the fact? Accord
ing to some authorities it costs but 1913
cents to produce the gold in gold dol
lar. What right has the government to
give the gold men sixty-one cents on
every gold dollar coined2- Cotton Plant.

ulative purposes, and alien ownership. Of land

Finally, brethren, remember that devotion
to our principles is only to be emphasized and
our influence made effective by voting for our
demands at the ballot box. We send greeting
to the brotherhood in the north and the great
northwest, and assure them that our hearts
beat in unison with them in their efforts for
industrial freedom, and we will stand by them
in all laudable efforts to redeem this country
from the clutches of organized capital and that
we will stand with them at the ballot box for
the enforcement IF our demands.

Must Succeed.

In the telegraphic reports Of the Maine
Peoples party convention, which met at
Gardiner on May 8, there was evidence
Of spirit of devotion to principle which
must make the people victors ere long
in the battle with tyranny and injustice.
The press reports contained these words;
"There is no fund to assist delegates to
attend the convention and they are here
at their own expense. Some walked
from ten to twelve miles in order to be
present"

Farmers and Transportation.


The st. Louis obe-Democrat offers
to the farmers of the country the follow
ing COLI comfort, and suggests that they
accept the situation philosophically and
cease their complaints against railroad
companies:
receive a just proportion of the amount for
which his products are finally sold. There arc
certain influences which tend to reduce his
share in an arbitrary and insidious way, and
he is practically helpless. But 1t is not true,
as he claims, th&t the principal source OF in
jury Is the cost Of transportation. The fact
has been recently demonstrated in . striking
and conclusive way by the efforts Of q st. Paul
paper to ascertain why the wheat grower does
not get more for his wheat when the price In
the ultimate market Is 80 much larger than
that which prevails in the primary market.
The investigation shows that as q bushel OF
wheat goes eastward the additions to the
price are much larger than the charges for
hauling and handling, and the price varies at
different points regardless Of these charges.
We cannot cOncede the correctness of
this proposition. If the price of grain in
New York is greater than the price of
grain in Omaha, added to the cost OF
getting the grain to New York and hand
ling it on the way, profitable business
could be done by grain men in purchas-
ing grain at this point and shipping to
New York. That there is some differ
ence might be conceded, and that this
difference represents the profit of the
regular grain shipper is probably true.
In the main, however, the difference be-
tween the price Of grain at New York
and at Omaha is the cost Of taking it
from Omaha and delivering it in New
York.
So far as the farmer of Nebraska is
concerned, however, he is not complain
ing so much against these transconti-
mental freight rates as he is complaining
against the freight rates within the Dor
ders of the state. 1t is the extortionate
''local" freight rates within Nebraska
which are gnawing at the vitals of the
commonwealth. The robberies in freight
rates are perpetrated when freight is
shipped over short distances within this
state.-Omaha World Herald.

He Is q RObber.

When the farmer produces bountiful
crop there is great rejoicing by the
spectators, who reap where they have
not sown and gather where they have
not strewn. The Spectator first de-
presses prices and takes the profit from
the producer; then he raises the prices
of goods again and takes a profit from
the consumer. The speculator is rob-
ber.-Beatrice (Neb.) ArbOr State.
