The principles of Capitalization Is not
the true American principle. In
dividualism, that is, what is good for
the individual. Is ultimately good for
the nation. This undercurrent of dis
satisfaction, when fully developed and
properly led will arise with a giants
strength and, like a thunderbolt from
heaven, will not stop until the ultimate
emancipation of the human race is &C.
complished and Burns dream, the
brotherhood of man, is realized.
r This is Gods immutable law. Behold
the sun that today shines in the heav-
ems, giving light and heat to all the
planets that revolve around 1t. The
power that holds it there can rule the
destiny of nations and individuals. Let
us do away with this and religious big
Otry, these political differences, and
unite as farmers for self-protection The
religion of conscience is the only true
religion and this has been planted in the
heart Of every individual, If we are to
believe the teachings OF some of the
worlds most learned theologians. do
not believe that God gave a monopoly
OF His graces to any individual or sect;
l believe that when each individual at
tends his respective church and kneels
In prayer, he can say: Thou art my
Cod my Savior, my Protector" and If
sincere | believe he will be heard.
1t takes 5OO,OOO,OOO inhabitants of the
globe to consume $4,000 900 annually,
while the worlds crop runs about
2,500,000,000. Now, II we can get the
othe 100000 to take 100000
600 annually, it would only amount to
6 pounds per capita; while all the rest
consumes about five bushels per capita,
this will raise the price of wheat 20
to 30 per bushel. In our convention
last winter we proposed and asked farm
ers to plant 20 per cent less wheat and
if we only get five per cent this will re-
duce the wheat crop of the world $780,
100000 bushels. This would clean out
the wheat now held by SPECTATORS You
all remember the time of the Letter deal
when wheat went up to 81 per bushel
Now, the wheat crop of the world that
year was only 100000 bushels short
II shortage Of 7O0OO,O 900 bushels made
wheat g. what would a shortage of
150,000,OOO bushels make it? You are
also requested not to be blowing of
your big acreage and big yield, for
every time you do you knock down the
price OF wheat. There is no vacancy in
nature, the fellow who is up today is
down tomorrow and the farmer who In
the past bore the burden of the world
upon his back will be the merchant of
the future. There is nothing in this
have spent in the last year upon this $50
of my personal money, besides giving my
time free. Some tell me there is honor
in it. l don't want the honor. Honor
won't feed the babies. AS for the abuse,
! l don't care; you see. am getting used
to it and l don't mind it.
: The Cylon merchants and their dupes
who were lOudest In denOuncing and
fighting this organization say il l will
drop it they are willing to dig a ditch
and turn the Atlantic ocean into Satan's
kingdom and drown out all the inhabl-
tants of the Internal region-if l will
only be silent. And today, I who am
after them, can get 20 per cent reduction
when those fellows who are cheering
for them will pay full price. 1t is al
ways the way. The slave who will kneel
at his masters feet will get the lash
quicker than the man who will defen.l
himself. Hon. J. c. Hanley, of ST. Paul,
Mimi, is the leading spirit of this in
this country, and Prof. J. Rutland, of
the University of Fryburg Switzerland,
is the leading spirit in Europe. l en-
countered both of these gentlemen
while advocating the interests of agri-
culture in some of the leading magazines
of this country and an organization
was effected in this state regard this
organization as the grandest thing for
the farmer today beneath the blue arch
of heaven, because through it he can get
everything he needs at first cost, from
a pound of sugar to a steam engine, at
first cost, providing he will only unite:
he can also sell his grain, hay, hogs
etc, and get full market value, and save
all the middle mans profits. Last year
there was dug from the farms of Wis
consin $5S,00O,00O. In getting this we
used about 100000 pounds of Irvine.
Now we should have a Irvine plant in
our prison, and it would be a great
saving to the farmers Of our state. And
the assemblyman and state senator from
our county are pledged to use all honor
able means in the legislature to get It,
and would advise farmers of this dis
trict to have your representatives in the
state legislature to do SO. II they don't,
just black ball them, and should they
come up for reelection retire them to
eternal oblivion. Now let us examine
the milk industry as carried on in Cylon.
In the past We got from SO to so cents
per 100 pounds. and l came there many
payday to make observations and il
farmer would leave the town with his
check In his pocket the merchants would
all be offended and would look upon him
and curse him as If he were a Boer or
a Filipino, and, generally speaking, they
got the check l have been told by mer-
chants in that town that for <or ooncoo
