Under date Of July 3rd, my friend and
brother correspondent, :'E. W. j." would
| correct me in saying in my correspondence
Of June 3Oth, that "the farmers had whip.
ped the jute bagging trust" and SAYS /
should bave said the Farmers Alliancs. or
the farmers Of the Alliance whipped the
trust.
Woll, permit me to say that l., have no
intention to discount or detract anything
from the Farmers Alliance, but I. am not
quite willing to accept Il. w. Us amend
ment. thought about the expression when
l wrote it. -
l know good many farmers who do not
belong to the Alliance that Joined in the
hght against the trust aud used the white
sbaggiRg, manufactured at our cotton mills.
1 know three such farmers not great way
from Jonesville, who raise near one hundred
bales OF cotton each, that used the home.
made q y %Sagging;
trust. = answer, yes, l did used the
white cloth for wrapping my cotton and did
what could otherwise to hcip in tho fght
against the trust. But some of the Alliancs-
men did not join in the fight and that was .
the reason said "the farmers" instead of
saying the Alliance.
. +, w. j. says that boycott swould not
reach the meat trust bgt s-tsts auiaaae
Is working at the matter; and rather rr- y
proves me for my ignorance in not knowing

especially about the sub-treasury. the tariff
ana the Tree coinage Of silver. I find -
soou many men who can sit around For

Up, if they were insured, but If thu suh-
reasury bill was passed the: .as govern.
ment would pay 1t instead of the poor man
mat Is sample of the information or edu.
a'ion we receive from these "Smart Alecks,,
n.these important questions.
T.. w. y. also asked, "wouli join ia n
gnt against meat trust Z" To which
reply, l have already Joined in such
hight. ] haven't bought any meat
bis year and have plenty on hand
do me, and, l repeat, if all the
'rmers would do likewise the meat trust
ould be virtually broken, aud the noe
ty people that Z. w. j. seems to he a.
uch concerned about, would get their meat
heap, as the supply would be perhaps
reater than the demand.
would say to E. W. j.. that I take a
lmber of papers, political, religious and
,riouitural, and read them but I am
1t acquainted with the inside WORKING. Of
