The Tobacco Trust and Tobacco Farmers.
Progressive Farmer:

Anent the great agitation that is
going the rounds of the press, with
resolutions and whereases of the
farmers, / feel that like n of old,
"Oh, that my enemy would write a
book" / see in nearly all of your
papers notices of farmers meetings
where they meet and resolve in n
or more articles every week and offer
to do this or that with JUNCTION and
earnestness, and if half of the reso-
lutions and whereases that have been
made were really honest and true,
there would be more good results
to follow. But if all of the farm
ers' meetings are in keeping with the
n / attended in my community,
then the resolutions are not worth
the paper they are written on, unless
it is for the purpose of advertising
to "the powers that be" the utter
impossibility of the farmers to unite.
For every resolution made and not
kept only emphasizes the weakness
and unreliability of the farmers, and
only tends to tighten our bonds.
Now my mind reverts back to last
year when the farmers awoke to the
fact that the American Tobacco
Company and the Continental eng
lish) had consolidated and thereby
destroyed all competition. There
went up a howl all over the State,
and the farmers commenced to meet
and resolute and swear by the Eter-
nal that they were now going to rise
up in their might and and destroy
the mighty octopus-and there were
really some good resolutions passed,
if they had only been carried out.
But, alas! hat was the trouble; they
were not made to be carried out;
they were only made of high-sound-
ing and noble sentiment to catch the
eye, and not the heart of the people,
and only made the trust they intend
ed to make tremble, laugh. Now
early in the summe of last year
when the tobacco farmers were go
much exercised over the prospect of
low price, they held meetings all over
the country and at a meeting I hap
pened to attend where there were
over 100 of the most representa-
tive farmers in four counties present,
and they solemnly passed resolutions
that they would organize themselves
into a committee of to never
stop, night or day, until the farmers
of the whole tobacco belt should be
organized against the trust. They
went so far as to say they were will
ing to help the little mar hold his
crop by establishing storage ware
houses and loan money to the little
farmer to help him hold his crop.
So the trust, remembering the fable
of the lark's nest in the farmers
wheat patch, thought it was time to
start up their little game. And what
did the trust men do? Why they
simply smiled, and patted a few

it in order and that if he, the
large farmer, would not go into the
arrangement, the trust would see that
he was taken care of, and see to it
that his crop should bring a s~atisfac-
tory price. Now what happened2
Just exactly what the trust knew
would happen. He (thc farmer)
swallowed the bait, hook and all, and
commenced to whisper it around hat
he had some inside information
which had been given him on the sly,
and Immediately there was no con
cert of action on the part of those
who were the pioneers of the move
ment. The trust picked out four or
five prominent farmers in each neigh
borhood and paid them a fair price
for their tobacco, knowing full well
that the little man could not help
himself. / hardly thought it was
possible for a man to be so lost to all
sense of common honor and / 'sgrity
as to do such a thing, but this is an
age of revelation. / know whereof
I speak, for I could give names, if I
would, for I have heard one of our
most prominent farmers say that be
was in it for all he could get out of
it, and "every man foy himself and
the devil take the hindmost." But
there is a day of reckoning for all
such men, for just as sure as there
is a just God, there is retributive JUS
tice.
The little man is already down to
bedrock, and is Injured to hard times,
and that of the large farmer will
surely come, for when the prices of
cotton, tobacco and all other products
get down below the cost of produc-
tior, and the farmers wife and chill
dren are cold and hungry and suffer
for the common necessities of life,
and his farm about to be f%oreclosed
for debt-then, and not till then, will
he awake to a full realization of his
true condition.
