tural class, how is this adverse legis-
lation to be repealed unless the farm
ers make themselves felt as a politi-
cal power?
Let us study the national situation
as pictured by Uncle Sam himself in
his census reports. We will not take
anything from any political textbook,
any political pamphlet, any speech or
essay written by reformers, by Popu-
list, by Bryanite, by Hearstite, by So
cialist. For the purpose of my speech
tonight, am going to confne myself
strictly to the government reports, as
shown from year to year, in the we'll
known volume called, Statistical Alb
stract of the United States" The vol
ume from which every statement of
statistical character that | make to-
night is known as "The Statistical
Abstract for 1906" This was issued,
of course, last year. Now, let us see
just what Uncle Sam says is the con-
dition of the various members of his
family-agricultur banker, railroad
er, and manufacturer. These are the
leading members of Uncle Sans
household-big boys of the family.
Let us see how they are getting along,
and how the progress of the one COM
pares with that of the other.
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-01-24

We find that in 1850, the amount of
capital invested in agriculture, or in
other words, the entire value of the
agricultural estate in the Union, was
$4,000, 100000. At that time we were
living under what is called the Walker
tariff, which levied a contribution of
20 per cent upon the farmer in order
that his brother, the manufacturer
might be protected from foreign COM
petition over on the other side of the
big water, thousands of miles away
This, of course, was a burden to the
farmer, but because he loved his
brother, the manufacturer, he bore the
burden cheerfully and went forward
with it for ten years-with a slight re-
duction in 1857. In 1860, we again
take an inventory of the estate of the
farmer. We find it to amount to $S,-
000,000,000. In spite of the fact that
he has been contributing a bonus of
twenty cents out of every dollar to
protect goods which he purchases for
his use, which bonus went to his
brother, the manufacturer the farmer
has doubled his estate within these
ten years.
Then came four years of war, loss
of nearly million men from the army

Tuesday was a memorable day in
the history of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union.
For weeks the districts have been
holding meetings and choosing dele
gates to the conference called by
President Charles S. Barrett, and on
Tuesday morning they began arriving
in full force. The leading officials
are here and many subjects of vital
interest to the order, which will be
discussed in these columns more at
length next week, were brought up
for consideration: The most notable
feature of the conference was the
speech by Hon. Thos. e. Watson, be-
fore the National convention, on
Tuesday night, an extensive synop-
sis of which we give in this issue.
Mr.. Watson does not write his
speeches, and as he has specially pre-
pared this synopsis for the benefit of
the Farmers Union readers of The
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-01-24

Weekly Jeffersonian, it is the only
authorized and absolutely reliable
summary of his speech to be had. He
said:
Synopsis of Mr.. Watson's Speech to
the Farmers National Convention
on the Night of January %, 1907.
The Farmers Union as an Organi-
zation should, by all means, steer
clear of politics. AS an organization,
it should take no part in any political
campaign. 1t should avoid all entang
ling political alliances.
But if the individuals composing the
Farmers Union do not go into politics
waist-deep, shoulder-deep, chin-deep,
to get what their intelligence tells
them is necessary for their material
welfare, they will continue to be what
they have been ever since the Civil
war-the mere drudges, pack horses,
"hewers of wood and drawers Of
water" for other classes who do go into
politics, as individuals, to get what
they want. In other words, If special
privileges have been granted to other
classes, which are bearing with harsh
ness and injustice upon the agricul-

A ROYAL Locksmith.

Louis XVI had passion for the
Aocksmith's trade, and it Is said that
over his private library he had forge.
two anvils and vast number of iron
tools. together with all kinds of locks,
common as well as those Of secret
and elaborate variety. 1t was here
that the king would conceal himself
from the queen and the court to file
and forge with the Infamous Gamin,
who taught him the art Of lockmaking.
1t is said that Gamin while teaching
the king his trade took upon himself
the tone and authority Of a master,
and. according to this same master.
the king was good. forbearing. timid,
inquisitive and addicted to sleep. Louis
had also great passion for timepieces,
and the difficulty which he found in
adjusting his clocks and watches is
said to have drawn from him the re-
