Editor Of the Independent:
Please publish the following
lines in your valuable paper:
To the farmers and general
public nf North Dakota |
Having been thinking forsome
time of a plan to enable us to
deal direct with the manufacture
ers and saving the middlemen's
profits, | would hereby take an
opportunity Of asking you, es-
pecially the farmers, if you think
this would not be a good thing.
As this can be accomplished, only
Though cooperation, think the
time has come when,itis almost
necessary for the farmers and,
others Of the general public in.
terested to organize and do their
own business without interven-
ton of middlemen. 1t has al
ways been claimed that farmers
cannot agree on anything. | do
not believe that. l think that if
we come together and discuss
things. we can agree, and il an
organization could be started,
and the farmers stick together,
we would not have to pay double
prices on the necessities OF life, as
we are doing now. | wish far
mers would take hold Of the matl
ter in earnest and express. them
selves through the newspapers,
orfif some of you would write to
meNandslet me know what you
think, and if we found there were
enough OF us, we could agree on
this matter, for an organization,
we would call a meeting and or
ganize.
Allow me to also say q few
words regarding certain petit
ion circulated in this city, asking
our congressman to work against
the passage of a bill now pending
in Congress, allowing packages
notsover IL pounds in weight, to
be carried by mail for only 25
cents. II the government can
carry a package of II pounds for
IS cents, whileexpress companies
charge 25 cents or more for a
pound, cannot see why ourrep-
resentatives to Congress should
work against said bill, even if a
law.like that as the merchants
seem to think would be to their
disadvantage. Thegeneral pub
lie should also be taken into &c
count and a law like that would
certainly be very beneficial to
the public. And thepublic should
get up petitions to Congress,
urging the passage OF, the bill.
It will be interesting to watch
our representatives to Congress
and see whether they in this mat
ter, represent the general public,
or the merchants only.
The merchants have a perfect
right to protect their own in
terest by all fair means. But it
is not right to suppress lpgisla-
ton beneficial for the public,
even if said legislation should
not be beneficial to a certain
class. JOHN WALLIN.
