rule the world, ETC." No such ex-
IRENE foolishness is ever limited at
in the Society. Listen: "That no
one will be so false to the tillers of
the soil as to sell at below that fixed
by the PRESIDENT" etc. This slur
at an organization composed of 60
900 farmers, many of them as in
telligent as our country affords sell
ing their products at a price fixed
by the president of the order, is too
sickening to notice. Mr.. Everett,
the president, has no more voice O
to fix a price than has DR..
Freeman or DR.. Kilgore, nor is such
practiced by the members. The OBJ
ject sought by the A. S. of E. is
equity, no more no less. To place
the farmers and producers in a posi-
ton to fix the price for the fruits of
their labor; to cooperate along all
lines that affect them; to educate
their offspring, and market their,
products as the markets demand.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-01

Have a business system and work up
to it. Are there 10000 fool farmers
in the order Of the A. S. of E., and
more pouring in, as E. E. Miller
states? The American Society of
Equity will never attack the Farm
ers' Alliance nor any other farmers
organization.
Nearly all thinking people admit
that American farmers should or
ganize for mutual benefit and pro
lection against the unjust exactions
of other combinations but the farm
ers no sooner start their oPganiza-
tons, than here comes the self-con-
stituted dictator to give advice, to
criticise. to condemn, malign, SLAM
der their leaders, and misrepresent
their movements. I hope, Mr.. Editor,
that, as our organization has been
assailed and slandeEed by Nh. Miller
in the Country Gentleman, and COP
led in our Progressive Farmer and
Cotton Plant, you will allow us space
to correct his misstatements.

and had some encouragement from
the agricultural stations in the cot
~ton-growing sections, that they could
win in this fight, and if they should
succeed in winning once, the manip-
ulators and spectators on Wall
Street would find that they could not
grow rich in the future by depress-
ing the cotton products while the
bulk of the cotton was going on the
market, and after it had left the
hands of the people who toiled to
produce it, to run it to a price that
would cripple the manufacturing in
dustry of both North and South, and
nobody profit thereby except the ma
nipulators and SPECTATORS"

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND DON'T KNOW IT
To Prove What Swamp-Root, the Great Kidney Remedy, Will
do for YOU, Every Reader of The Progressive Farmer May
Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are
responsible for more sickness and
suffering than any other disease,
therefore, when through neglect or
other causes, kidney trouble is per-
mitted to continue, fatal results are
sure to follow.
Your other organs may need atten-
tion-but your kidneys most, because
they do most and need attention
first.
If you are sick or "feel badly"
begin taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, because as soon as
your kidneys begin to get better they
will help all the other organs to
health. A trial will convince anyone.
The mild and immediate effect of
pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney and bladder remedy, is soon
realized. It stands the highest for
it's wonderful cures of the most dis
~tressing cases. Swamp-Root will set
your whole system right, and the best
proof of this is a trial.
So Cottage St., Melrose, Mass,
January II, 1904.
Dear Sirs: ever since I was in
the Army, I had more or less kidney
trouble, and within the past year it
became so severe and complicated
that I suffered everything and was
much alarmed-my strength and
power was fast leaving me. I saw
an advertisement of Swamp-Root and
wrote asking for advice. I began the
use of the medicine and noted a de-
cided improvement after taking
Swamp-Root only a short time.
I continued it's use and am thank
full to say that I am entirely cured
and strong. In order to be very sure
about this, I had a doctor examine
some of my water today and he pro
nounced It all right and in splendid
condition.
I know that your Swamp-Root is
purely vegetable and does not con-
tain any harmful drugs. Thanking
you for my complete recovery and

Equity" ..~ss Few Is. :s.s

Equity" s1Tss' Esss r. ;s.ss
Messrs. Editors: In The Progress
sive Farmer and Cotton Plant of
October 25th, we see an article
copied from the Country Gentleman
p%urporting to be written by one E.
E. Miller, of Hamblen County,
Tenn, assailing and grossly misrep-
resenting the American Society Of
Equiyt: an association of farmers
in the West and more or less in most
of the United States. We confess
that we we're surprised as well as
grieved to read such an article in
The Progressive Farmer, a farmers
paper and the organ of a large farm
ers' organization.
The article is so full of gross mis-
representations and false conclu-
sions that we, as a member of the
A. S. of E., beg space in The Pro
gressive Farmer, not to reply to the
writer but to point out the incorrect
statement in the article referred to.
He says first: 81 nm receiving
twice a month the official organ of
the American Society of Equity, an
organization started by a Western
publisher to get subscribers" etc.
This is untrue. Mr.. Everett was pub
fishing his paper long before either
the Alliance or American Society of
Equity was organized; he is one of
the largest farmers and seedsmen in
the State of Indiana.
Again: "The farmers organize To-
cal unions, lay membership fee of
81, subscribe for the national organ
and obey the direction of the presi-
dent as to the price at which they sell
scribe, MOI does the president give
for members are not bound to sub
scribe, nor dose the president give
and order, nor does he have any voice
in fixing the price of anything.
Again, "the president of the soci-
ETY. seems in fact, to be pretty much
the whole thing, etc." Incorrect.
The president has the voice of one
man only and all the work is man
aged by a board of directors elected
by the members at large.
Again, "as the present head of the
order was it's founder and is the
publisher of it's official paper, his
tenure of office is secure" In fact,
the president is elected annually by
a board of directors elected by the
members at large.
As space in The Progressive Far
mer is valuable and space limited, we
must pass over the twaddle and snarl

SHOULD HOLD THEIR COTTON.
A Cotton Buyer Thinks That If the
Farmers Will Hold Their Cotton the
Price Will 60 to 10 Cents and Stay
There-Would Be Better for Grower
and Manufacturer.

week TO attend the meeting OF the
Cotton Growers Association" said
Mr.. A. j. McKinnon, a well-known
cotton buyer of Maxton, to a Char
iotte Observer reporter last week,
but pressure of business, that /
could not control prevented my do
ing So"
"Well, what do you think of the
cotton situation? 2" was asked.
"I think the spectators are wag-
ing a great fight, both in contract
cotton and the manufactured pro-
duct, against the price of cotton;
they are trying to break the farmers
faith in higher prices.
eff the farmers give way and sell
their cotton, why the mill man will
not establish the price of his goods
and therefore it will be a hardship
for him to have the price for cotton.
But if the farmers stand for ten
cents, aid refuse to sell a bale of
cotton until it brings that price,
there will be no trouble in the world
about establishing the price of ten
cents for the raw material, and it
will be no trouble for the mill man
to get a price for his product that
will enable him to pay ten cents for
the cotton and make a fair profit
on the investment.
"The idea that / am trying to con-
- e Is, that some united effort might
be made by which the trading and
specializing world might be con-
WINGED that cotton could not be
bought in the South for less than
ten cents.
1T recognize that there is one bad
feature about this proposition, and
that is hat there is quite a lot of
cotton owned by perchants, or rath-
er on which the merchants have
claims; but in an instance of that
kind, the farmer could surrender his
COGJOu Will JuS uLuSISJduu1AS GhdC
the merchant was not to sell a pound
of it until he could get ten cents
for it, and that the farmer would
cay the interest on the Indebtedness,
and with this cotton in hand the
merchant would be positively safe,
and on this cotton as collateral he
could get money at a reasonable rate
of interest, and the farmer could
very we'll afford to pay this interest.
"1 know that this is a big under
taking; at the same time, there has
never been a time when sentiment
has been so strong among the farm
ers, nor has there ever been a time
when the farmers in any setcion of
the country has been in as good posi-
ton to stand to establish a standard
price for cotton. nor has there ever
been a time when there was so little
cotton to begin a season with as
there was at the beginning of this
season, nor has there ever been a
time when the manufactured stocks
would naturally be in 80 depleted a

answer to certain charges regarding
the method of conducting the investi

en- by him to bring the guilty parties
to Justice:
Charges are being made and
freely circulated by the opponents of
the administration to the effect that
the investigation that the land frauds
by the interior department is not be
ing seriously and diligently conduct
ed; that criminal prosecutions con-
nected with the investigation are not
being pressed with such vigor as to
manifest a determination to bring the
guilty parties to speedy justice; ana
that an air of secrecy pervades the
department making it difficult to- OBJ
ami information as to the progress
and present status of the work.
"Thcse charges are utterly without
foundation in fact. The investigation
has been in the hands of competent
officers from the beginning and has
been conducted under the direction
of the secretary Of the interior with
the utmost speed consistent with
thoroughncsS."
