ton Of Farmers Against Money Kings.
Special Correspondence to the Times.
CHEswOLD, Jan. 27:-In discussing
the coal situation, the great strike
and passing their views of the rights
and wrongs that the miners union
and the operators should respectively
answer for, by two of our citizens a
few days ago, one of them said: ''In
few years 1 believe our Farmers In
stitutes" will be known as Farmers
Unions" for the protection of farmers
against the mOneyed kings, who can
now corner grain and control it's price
In the markets. The farm ers union in
the various states of this country
would be branches of one great Nation
al Union, centrally located and per-
haps managed by a few men like
Mitchell. The farmer might then be
up to it with the speculator and cor
porations only, could they all be re-
lied on to stick to the unions like the
miners do for their common good?
