ings we're always knitted there.
Nearly every farmer was his own
blacksmith, carpenter and butcher,
and in fact was compelled to be a
lack at all trades" The change
from this state of affairs to that of
the present day is so evident that it
needs only to be called to mind to
be at once recognized.
The effect upon the farmer has
been the same as that of the analo-
gous development upon the laborer.
1t has increased the productive
power of the individual, but has
rendered him less independent of
his fellow workers. Ii has been fire.

day that passes the factory worker
is becoming more dependent upon
the actions of his fellow workers.

are the first of these that occur to
the mind, and beet sugar is an ex-
ample of an almost new industry
that has been grated upon farming,
and that is but a portion of the
great factory system. The farm
products connected with these in
dustries are absorbed by the owners
of the plants, and the farmer who
grows the beets or furnishes the
milk and cream receives simply
wages for his share of the labor per-
formed upon the finished product,
and not infrequently these are even
lower than those paid the employees
within the walls of the plant itself.
Here at least there can be no doubt
but that the interests of the wage
worker and the farmer are the same.
There is the same tendency toward
specialization of industry upon the
farm that in a more developed form
has worked such wonders in the fac
tory. To be sure it is not yet pos
sible to find examples of such won
drous division as that in the shoe
trade, where each man makes but
the hundredth part of shoe. The
process has taken a somewhat diff
ferent turn upon the farm. 1t has
shown itself in the gradual transfer
ence of many industries from the
farm to the factory. Fifty years
ago nearly all the cloth used upon
the farm was woven at home; stock

examined carefully it will be seen
that the productive power of society
in regard to farming has been i'm
mensely increased. l think that
any one who will compare the work
of the sickle and the fail with that
of the self binder and steam thresher,
or the railroad and elevator with the
ox-cart and scoop-shovel, will admit
that the same amount of work in
these departments will produce more
than ten times as much as it would
one hundred years ago. But will
anyone dare to claim that the
farmer of today lives ten times as

answers to the red" letter that they

evinced the same thought, that if l
could come to their locality and de-
liver another address they could by
this means arouse a certain interest
that is always lax after a campaign,
and by so doing and getting the
non Socialists interested they could
materially assist the News.
These letters and suggestions
from the comrades put me to think
ing on this matter of going out now

else worked at the same time he did.
His work was wholly independent
of theirs. But the employe in a
great shoe factory making but the
hundredth part of shoe is helpless
without the other ninety nine.
Just so the farmer who a generation
ago made everything he needed
upon his own farm cared little or
nothing for what the rest of the
world might do. II he could not
sell his products he could eat or
wear them, and had little need for
intercourse with the remainder of
the world. Not so the farmer of
today, whose butter is made at the
creamery and cheese at the factory
and who never saw a suit of home
made clothes. He sells his grain
and fruit in the markets of the world,
and the rains of India or the floods
of Russia may prove as destructful
or as helpful to him as similar oc-
currences in his own fields. In
other words, he, like the wage.
worker, has become a part, and
only part, of the worlds great
productive system, and is subject to
all its vicissitudes, be they helpful
or harmful.
Now note this one thing, that al
of the steps noted have been of a
nature to increase the productive
power of the workers, be they farm,
ers or wage-laborers. II they are

tached his goats to it he would GER
tainly expect to have more things to
eat and to wear with the same
amount of labor than he had when
he used hoe. Now the reason
why the farmer and the wage
worker do not receive this increased
reward in our present society is not
because of the greater number of
people concerned. On the contrary
the work of the different members
of our present society is so arranged
that they cooperate in production
and hence produce much more than
they could with each one working
independent of the others. Every
farmer knows that two men with a
cross-cut saw can cut more than
twice as much wood as one man
with an ak.
Where, then, does this increased
product go1 What is the niger

ing to solve, but instead of trying
to answer it at this time, when we
do not yet have all the facts before
us, we will just take a turn in an
other direction and perhaps we shall
find the desired answer in quite an
unexpected portion of the field.

trouble with the wage -laborer is that
the instruments with which he
makes these changes are not his
property, but belong to another
class, who through that ownership
compel the laborers to sell them
selves day by day for bare exist
ence. Note this one fact as the key
to the whole situation. Ii is not
necessary for the capitalist class to
own all the instruments of produc-
ton concerned in the making of any
article in order to have possession
of the product. 1t is only neces-
sary to own the essential domina.
one. Because the machinist in
great shop happens to own the mon
key wrench with which he works it
does not mean that he is an indie
pendent workman who can live with
out his boss.
Just so with the farmer. He may
own the land and grow his wheat
and raise his stock, but while these
are still on the farm they are not at
any place or time where they can be
used, hence are not yet produced"
When he tries to finish his process
of production and add these two es-
sential qualities of place and time
he finds that the instruments for
this-the railroads, telegraphs, ele-
vators, stock-yards. ETC., belong to
someone else, who appropriates all
that the farmer has produced, save
the same share that the laborer has
always received bare living. So
we'll has this fact become recognized
that it is a common thing to say that
there is no money in farming" and
that all the farmer gets is wages"
1t seems strange that this analysis
of agricultural production should
ever have been overlooked. for it is
exactly the same process that has
taken place in all lines of industry.
Everywhere the land has been forced
to a subordinate position in relation
to the tools of production, and these
have constantly grown more COM
plex and been concentrated into
fewer hands.
No farmer who has paused from
his toll long enough to think at all
can fail to have seen that a multi
tude of changes have taken place in
his work in the last half century.
The most noticeable of these is, of
course, the change from the cheap
and simple tool of earlier days to
the expensive and intricate machin-
cry of today. Almost every tool
