IMMIGRATION.

The Farmers Union has made an
unprecedented and unexcelled fight
on foreign immigration. A few have
been astonished, others have been
scared, still others are asking, Why
does the Farmers Union oppose for
eign immigration so vehemently? This
latter class are inclined to think that
it is because we do not know any
better and they are right.
1t has been suggested that we
should not so bitterly oppose foreiga
immigration, as our forefathers some
where in the distant or more recent
past were foreigners.
The members of the Farmers Un-
ion realize this fact fully, and if it
had not been for the fact that we
knew the old demagogues, who are
time servers Of the few, and the
time foolers Of the masses, we would
have been little more explicit on
this point, but we fully realized if we
did so before the people were thor
oughly aroused, that these plunderers
Of American freedom would misquote

wATsoNs WEEKLY JEFFERsoNIAN.
Of Interest TO the Wealth Creators

does not matter what man labels
himself, whether Democrat, Republi-
can, Populist, Socialist, or Union, if
he has no individuality, he is un-
worthy to hold office among free
people. If he does not himself rep
resent a principle he becomes plant
tool in the hands OF designing men
for the purpose of enabling them to
exploit the people. Wake up and
look around you. We care not what
a man says he is, his actions tell us
what he really is. and it is our du-
ty to use our brain and our eyes ard
ears to see, hear and understand

THE FARMER NEGLECTED.

The absence Of farmers in our law
making has been frequently comment
ed upon during late years, and it IS
being insisted that they should he
literally represented, as they furnish
such large proportion of the citi-
zens to be governed by the law;
made. It looks reasonable that the
farmer should know what is best for
him, and what is best for him is un-
doubtedly best for the whole coun-
try, everything being dependent upon
the agricultural classes. A gentle
man writing from Washington to one
of our Mississippi papers has the
following to say anent the absence
of, farmers in our National law-mak-
ing body:
"During my thirteen years resi-
dence at the national Capitol, [ have
observed that every interest in the
country is organized and represented
here, except the farmer. The farmers
alone have stood aloof from consoi-
dation and combination. [ am glad,
however, that they are at last real
izing that if they are to secure Their
rights in the nation and in the states
they must band themselves togeth-
er in a compact union, in order TO
have their demands more speedily
recognized. Senators and represeu-
tatives in Congress pay tribute to or
ganized labor, to organized capital
and to organized business Interests
of all kinds, but, strange to say, the
farmer has few genuine defenders
in the legislative halls, national and
state.'
The statements made by the gen
tleman are correct and furnish food

WHEAT, CORN AND COTTON.

High temperature and brisk, quick
passing showers have no doubt
wrought to well-cultivated fields de-
voted to cotton growing remarkable
changes. The fields are free from
grass, and in district after district
the cultivators are moving between
rows Of vigorous plants. The growth
is beginning to be normal. AS
whole, the cotton belt is no longer four
weeks late. It is now said to be two
weeks late, and July as favorable
as June would bring the crop wei
up in point of growth.
Each field, however, has a spotted
appearance, and this may be said to
be a feature Of the entire cotton belt
this year. The crop is "spotted, "
and it will probably remain spotted
to the end of it. Favorable weather
may, however, remove some Of the
inequalities.
The government report will be IS
sued today. It will aim to show the
condition of the crop on June 25, and
the acreage. Some anticipate a re-
port of improvement in the growing
crop to the extent of ten points. The
crop is now we'll cultivated, and its
growth will be rapid if the weather
continues to be favorable. But on
the other hand the acreage has been
reduced in one way or another at
least 10 per cent, and this Of itself
points to a fair crop only. A big
crop is well-nigh impossible. The
boil weevil in Texas, and a reduced
acreage everywhere forbid full crop.
The wheat crop is also "spotted,"
and threshing returns are awaited
with interest. The harvesting of win
ter wheat has been begun. The out
look is increasingly hopeful, and
that is about all that can be pru-
IDENTIFY said about the crop. Spring
wheat is coming on fairly, and the
corn crop is making excellent prog
ress.
The entire crop prospect is better
than it was thirty days ago, but the
output of neither wheat nor cotton
will be a record breaker.-The Age

The fact that the thread trust has
raised the price of that useful and
necessary article has attracted little
attention save among dealers and
persons who use a great deal of IL.
