FOR CONGRESS-lst District
Hon. VIM. A. Jones.

The farmers of the Eastern Shore
seem to agree that the Produce Ex-
change is a movement in the right
direction. There is but little differ
ence of opinion among them, II any,
that it is due to the Organization,
that they received anything for the
most of their Irish potato crop this
wear, that they are row receiving
three times as much or more for their
sweet potatoes than they did this
time last year, and that the prices
would be much better now than they
are but for the obstacles thrown IN
the way by those who are dealing IN
them. These things being true and,
we believe that no one can justly
say to the contrary, it is pertinent to
INQUIRE, are our farmers standing by
the organization as they should and
doing all they can 10 help il along to
success, and if hot, way noH Have
the dealers ia potatoes shown any
less disposition 10 bat down the
prices and thereby deprive them OF
the rewards of their honest labor
this year than they have in the past?
There can be but one answer, we be-
lieve, that they prefer to trust an
organization run in their interest.
and help it along 10 success, rather
than place themselves egain in the
hands of those who are willing to
serve them only for what they can
get out of them. To aid them, how
ever, in arriving at that conclusion
if they have not already done so we
submit, instead of doing something
this year to keep the prices ur, have
not dealers as persistentiy This veal
as in the past tried to put Tue prices
down by Offering our potatoes at less
price than has been asked and re
ceived for them by the Exchange? /:
there any doubt that the dea eTs IL
every instance could have given more
than they have fiIst offered, mas
much as they have always sGvanceC
