The FARMER MUST BEAR THE
BRUNT.

The farmers who are in debt are not
,ess furtunate than those who must
suffer because of the Indebtedness.
During the recent furry on Wall
street the government Of the United
States. our land of the free and home
of the brave, went down into the treas
ury and handed out millions of dollars
Of the peoples money to aid the banks
and spectators of the east TO hold
their stocks and bonds and not be re-
quired to sell at a sacrifice.
The report has gone forth that the
banks of the South will refuse to make
further advances on cotton in order to
force the farmers to sell at a sacrifice,
and thus bring the money into the
country at once, and relieve the fl
nancial strain.
This report caused Congressman
Burleson, of Texas, to ask the govern
ment to distribute 100000 900 among
southern banks to relieve the strain
and keep them from forcing the cotton
on the market But the government
has already reduced its surplus to
what is termed working capital, and
could not accommodate the producers
Of wealth.
There was plenty Of money as long
as the gambling stock exchanges
needed it to keep from sacrificing their
holdings.
There was none to help those who
work with their hands from sacrificing
theirs.
Thus another leSsOn-One We might
have already known-has been taught
the cotton growers. No, not another
lesson, but another demonstration OF
the same old lesson: That is, that the
farmer who is in debt is at the mercy
of the outside world, and that in being
forced to sacrifice his products by put
ting them on the market, he Injuries
the prospects of those who are out of
debt for gettin gfull value for their
iabOr.
Another demonstration which tells
our people to get out of debt and to
stay out.
The only help We can expect must
come to us through our own struggles,
our own efforts, the exercise OF our
own wisdom.
God give our people knowledge and
faith il their cause.-Farmers Union
Guide.
