especially the rules prescribed
by the New Orleans conclavc
(and a few other propagandas)
for the government OF Southern
farmers in the future. such az

1t all seems funny" but il
may be because / do not believe
in such stuff. In the first place
il amounts to bosh for any man
or set OF men. even OF the farm
ing element, to dictate to scnsi-
BILE farmers their individual
needs. If the farmers of this
country are cvcr more indcpcnd.
ent or are less serfs than they
are now. il will be BY rules form
ed by their own brains, enacted
by their own forethought and
based absolutely upon their own
judgements. And no farmer
who can not ''cut his cards"
after this plan. can ever expect
to be anything more than a
plebiau.
He must anticipate his needs
in the beginning of each year
and provide for them by his
best resources: and these re-
sources he must rcason out. or
he will still be in the ruts that
have oankruptcd his p~rogcnitors
for 30 years. We a not raise
cotton 10 buy what VIC cat and
expect to wcar clothes, except
ut some other mans expense.
This needs TO be tried no longer.
In the second place IL in funny.
because these rules have never
amounted to anything. They
are never enforced. and in the
nature Of things can not be.
The Grange formed rules. the
Alliance formed rules: many
farmers clubs and conventions
have formed rules: and each
had its muititudcs OF ardent ad.
vocates and obligors. But ah.
We mourning winds OF the past,
fraught with memories OF nn-
fulfilled voting. broken promis-
es. universal direlcctions. To
say they we're not good rules
would be a mistaken idea. but
there are too many individual
circumstances for farmers to
tie TO any set of rules from any
origin whatever outside OF their
own brain; consequently. from
