James Anderson.
V. r. Hinton.
The following resolution was unanimously
Resolved. That this Alliance instruct its
Manager to protest against the oil combine.
| tion to put cotton seed at Is cents bushel and
meal at 20 dollars per ton:
reminds your humble correspondent very
much Of the old story OF the choice between
the crow and the turkey. 1t proposes TO give
low price for SoS ther or
seed meal. Now, In ouropinion, the farmers
have as much right to form q combination
against the OIL companies as the on com9a,
think the best thing for our farmers to DO
throughout the cotton belt, Is to demand at
least twenty-hye cents per bushei for their
much, then keep them at home and use them
| for feeding stock and for fertilizers. Let the
farmers fix their price for cotton seed, and II
the mills don't want them at that price, let
them do without them. Let the mills have
the privilege Of fixing the price on their meal
and If the farmers think this price too high,
they can let the mills keep their meal. Every
man has right TO say what he is willing 70
take for his property, but he has no right to
say what other people shall take for theirs.
