none BUT FARMERS
FOR FARMERS unions.
Strong Plea For Restricted Mem.
bership In All Farmers
ORGANIZATIONS.

In our former communications We
have never mentioned the necessity OF
organization. The farmer like every
other branch of trade must keep up
with the times,a and now let me impress
this fact on your mind, that there is
but few branches of trade that is
worth being called business that is
not organized.
Now my comrads can you afford
to stand forth and. think, yourselves
buglemen, can tell Fou that you
are making a mistake. The world is
depending on you and you should be
able to protect your interests at all
times, How can you do this with
out being organized? All markets are
governed by supply and demand.
And now my conrad how do you ex-
pect to keep yourself posted without
being organized? l think have
heard some one say we are organ
lied. There, let me ask you another
question, (but you don't have to an
swer it, Does your organization meet
the requirements of the farmer on
the most judicial and economical
lines? Is it for the good of the great
est number, or is it feeding the trusts,
combines and monopolies? And is 1t
furnishing fat jobs to parties who are
not farmers nor never was? Let me
say you will not find the above evils
in the Farmers cooperative union.
The first thought should be for any
organization to protect itself and
members. ii has been lifelong say
ing, that the big fish is always trying
to swallow the small one, and we, the
farmers. think we have brains enough
to manage our affairs without taking
in one who is not a farmer. This
was the downfall of the Changers and
Wheelers. Could the farmers get in
druggist association? l say no, nor
can a farmer be a member of the Bar
Association? Therefore the co-Opera-
tive union does not admit them,or any
one else who is not farmer. The far
mers' interests are identical and the
time will come when all will see 1.-THE
world over. We have seen the rise
and fall of many organizations and the
fall in every case was caused by mem
bers whose interests were not identi-
cal with the order to which they be-
longed. Our constitution and by laws
are yet imperfect. In one place 1t says
farm laborers, when it should say farm
renters. A farm laborer may work
on the farm this year and next year
he will go to the railroad to work or
to some other place. Sometimes 1t is
hard enough to control the crop of the
renter, as the most of them think they
must sell as soon as their crop will do
to put on the market, then the union
must look after them. The finance
Committee is put after those fellows.
We have just received letter from
Centertown asking for a copy of by
laws and constitution. Still they come
and there are hundreds who can see
that the farmers must have something
better and cheaper. Now we hope you
will take the Hartford papers and keep
posted about the cooperative union.
