every means in their power to prevent
any one from selling or buying the
farmers products unless he can deliver
the exact produce sold at the time
specified in the contract.
Resolved, That we urge the farmers
throughout the United States to band
themselves together and by petitions to
their representatives asking them to
have laws passed that shall henceforth
stop all dealing in futures.
The farmers association kindly asks
that all persons friendly to them pub
