Get Together.

There is nothing which plutocracy
so much fears as intelligent organiza-
tion of the farmers for political ef-
fort.
The individual is easily overwhelmed
by an organized power and it is by
practical appliance of this fact that cor
porations are domineering every legal
authority in the land.
1t is through ignorance of this fact,
that unorganized farmers are being one
by one turned out of their homes.
Old party speakers are never found
advocating organization among the
farmers, yet they are never found con-
demning the organization of bankers
and spectators.
This is illustrated very forcibly by
the attitude of Secretary Morton of Ne
braska, as presented on two different
occasions.
From his speech in this city, Oct. 16,
1893, we clip the following advice to
the farmers:
LESS legislation and more learn
ing, less gregariousness and more indi-
viduality, less dependence upon asso-
citation with the alliances and the gran
gers, and more self-reliant independ-
ence, based upon acquired facts, is fair
statement Of the interests of the farm
err
This same Secretary Morton in refer
ring to the communication of ]. R.
Buchanan, writes John Dewitt Warner
as follows:
"My object in sending you this letter
of Mr.. Buchanan is to give you thor
ough business mans view of the situa-
ton. The letter shows how fallacies
flourish among the farmers of the west
and south. The letter also points out
to you the necessity of immediate CO.
herent and organized action in behalf
of sound money" This now is his ad-
vice to the bankers.
Individual action for the farmer, but
coherent organization" for the specu-
lators.
When Morton gives advice concern
ing organized effort, it is all owing to
who will be benefited what that advice
will be.
er fails to secure the downfall of such
fellows as this Secretary Morton.
It is through the organized strength
of corporations that he holds position
and power.
Every association Of the farmers has
led toward Industrial liberty and this
fact should not be overlooked.
The watchword must be organize
and educate"
There is no good reason why farmers
should permit themselves to be forever
the prey of designing politicians.
While they continue to "go it alone"
they will remain the easy victims Of
organized spectators.
This is question of vast import and
one that cannot long be ignored.
The farmers must get together or be
one by one crushed down by organized
greed.
Bankers and spectators never fail to
vote together when their interests are
at stake.
There is but one hope and that is "get
| together. - Chicago Express.

Show Thi. To Your Minister.

Bearing in mind that what is meant
by usury in the Bible is the taking of
increase for the loan of money, read the
following texts and ask your pastor to
preach on the Bible doctrine of usury:
If thou lend money to any of my peo-
pie that is poor by thee, thou shalt not
be to him a usurer, neither shalt thou
lay upon him usury.-Exodus xii:
1925.
And if thy brother be waxen poor,
and fallen in decay with thee, then tnou
shalt relieve him; yea, though he be a
stranger or sojourner, that he may
live with thee. Take thou no usury OF
him, or increase; but fear thy God; that
thy brother may live with thee. Thou
shalt not give him thy money upon
usury, or lend him thy victuais for in
crease.-Leviticus XIV: 35-37.
Thou shalt not lend upon usury TO
thy brother: usury of money, usury Of
victuals, usury of anything that is
lent upon usury.-Deuterono xiii:
19.
And there was a great cry of the peo-
pie and of their wives against their
brethren the Jews. For there were that
said: We, our sons and our daughters
are many; therefore we take corn for
them that we may eat and live. Some
also there were that said, we have mort
gagged our land, vineyards and houses,
that we might buy corn because of the
dearth. There were also that said. we
have borrowed money for the kings
tribute, and that upon our lands and
vineyards. Yet now our flesh is as the
flesh Of our brethren, our children as
their children: and 10, we bring into
bondage our sons and our daughters to
be servants, and some Of our daughters
are brought into bondage already;
neither is it in our power to redeem

Special to the Scranton Tribune
Springfield, Mass, June 14.-With
three new Harrisburg players Scranton
lost to Springfield today through the
inability of Pitcher Johnson to cope
with Callahan, of the Ponies. John
son was hit ten times for twelve bases,
while only four singles were all that
could be secured off Callahan. The
game was full of interest and the re-
suit was never in doubt. Only one err
ror was made by each team.
Manager Barnte released Quarles and
Captain Sweeney today. Huston played
short, Eagen was in left field and
Meaney in right field. OF the four hits
by Scranton one each was made by IIa-
gen, Meaney, w. Johnson and Brady.
Huston accepted six chances without
error. Throughout the game the lfield-
ing was brilliant by each team Scran-
tons new team put up a strc ig game.
