LESSONS IN UNIONISM.

At the Worlds Fair in Chicago, long
before the Farmers Union was
thought Of, there was a great lesson
in unionism.
For years the grain spectators had
been keeping the price Of corn down
to the producers until it went down
to s cents a bushel.
The farms Of the great corn state
became mortgaged, and poverty was
written on almost every farmers
home.
Out of this state of affairs grew an
organization which the farmers Joined
and stuck to. They did not simply
pass resolutions, but they carried out
the spirit Of their resolutions to the
letter, and raised the price Of corn
from 8 cents a buShel to 80 cents.
AS a result Of this the farmers Of
Kansas sent a car load of paid-off
mortgages to the great Worlds Fair
in Chicago.
These mortgages were lifted by or
ganizing and sticking to the organi-
cation.
Is this not a valuable lesson to our
cotton farmers?
One year ago the Farmers Union
levied special assessment of 10 cents
per member in order to push its or
ganization in the great northwest
among the wheat growers.
These wheat growers were getting
from 80 to As cents a bushel for their
grain.
With the aid Of the great organized
body Of farmers known as the Farm.
ers' Union they set a price of 81 per
bushel. They won the fight by stick
ing to the minimum price.
1t took courage and fidelity to &C.
complish this.
But one result is that it makes us
pay about $3.50 for -four. Now the
question: Can we of the South afford
to meet these prices for -four, corn
and other things with cotton at less
than Is cents per pound?
Most assuredly we can not.
We have a minimum price on our
great crop.
Will we get it?
Well, it's our fault if we don't.
We have our own system of ware
houses. They belong to us and there |
is no reason in the warld why we
should allow this Internal combination !
Of home spinners and Wall street |
gamblers to win.
Let us hold to the last minute.
We can sell to Europe and let the
home spinners go to the devil.
That's what we will do. So don't
sell, and don't let your non.union
neighbor sell, and don't let the negro
sell.-Birmingham F. U. Guide.
