If some are. GONG = = direction, and
some in another-'f farewell EdyeW-there
can't be successful cooperation.
Apply these principles to the organization
of the Farmers, and then ask yourself how it is
possible for Harvie Jordan's conglomerated
Mutual-Aid, job-lot assortment to ever rep
resent the Farmer. Is the Manufacturers
self-interest on parallel line to that of the
Farmer?
No
At present, the manufacturer is bent upon
holding his Trust-breeding monopoly of the
Home Market, while it is to the self-interest
of the farmer to break it.
If the farmer cannot break up the Home
Market monopoly which yields such monsters
as the Steel Trust profit of 80 per cent per
year-then the farmer is ruined man.
This being true, why should the farmer al
low any protected manufacturer to enter into
the farmers organization?
All the manufacturers are banded together
in their own Association, and the purpose of
their Association is antagonistic to the self
interest of the farmer: how then can there be
cooperation between the two?
1t is absolutely necessary that the farmers
broaden their market so as to increase the con-
sumption of raw cotton Cotton fabrics must
be cheapened by foreign competition; thus
greater amount of the goods will be sold; thus
will be created demand for greater amount
of raw cotton; thus the Demand will be in
creased thus the price will be advanced.
In no other way can you permanently in
crease the demand and the price.
But here your interests and those of the
Protected Manufacturers clash.
How then, you cooperate?
You can't-and all thinking men will see it.
Listen
The parallel line is necessary to co-opera-
ton.
Those who successfully cooperate are those
who march in the same direction, inspired by
the same motive, to reach the same object.
Farmers! Reject all members who cannot
be shown eligible by this rule.

ma1Ediorial Notes.
The sident seems to be thoroughly

The National Demurrage Convention has
taken the matter up and the executive commit
tee of that body has furnished the President
with the facts
The real cause is not the shortage of cars,
as claimed by the railroads. but is due to.
differences between the transportation com
panies and the consignees over demurrage
charges. Several thousand cars of coal are
being held in Chicago, Minneapolis and other
cities because of these differences. The Pres.
ident has ordered special investigation, and
he promises to lay the facts before Congress
and demand legislation that will prevent such
conditions in the future.
People are freezing to death in the North
west because they cannot get fuel. Some
weeks ago Senator Hansbrough, of North Da-
l1ota asked the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to relieve the situation, but nothing has
been done.
The railroads claim that they cannot get
enough cars to haul freight offered the roads.
1t is such methods that force changes, and
there will soon be radical change in the man.
agement of railroads in the United States.
The people are sick and tired of the railroads
running the government and ruling the peo-
pie, and they are going to change things
around by letting the people own the railroads
and run the government to suit themselves.
The farmers of the country will be amused
and edited, if not convinced, by reading the
eloquent defense which Joe Hoadley, the Wall
Street Cotton Gambler, makes of Harvie Jor-
dan The intimacy which exists between Har-
vie Jordan and this Wall Street Cotton Gam
bier in stocks, bonds and cotton futures, would
seem to extend also to the ladies of the two
families, for in the society columns Of The
Atlanta Constitution of Thursday, Jan. FL,
1907, | find this interesting item:

Des Moines, Nov. 9.-United States SEN
ator J. P. DoHiver has entered the fight
for the reelection of his venerable col
league. William B. Allison This means
that he has made a deliberate choice be-
tween Allison and Gov. A. 3. Cummins.
who is an avowed candidate for the Al
Eson succession. although the friends of
the latter have intimated 90 Dolliver that
he must keep his hands on or suffer the
consequences at a later date.
That Dolliver is not worried over his
own political fortunes Is evidenced by
the announcement to-day that on Mon
day evening. November p. he will open
the Allison campaign at Council Bluffs.
where. before a newly organized Allison
Club Of several hundred members, he
will speak on The life and public serv-
ices of Senator William B Allison.
The opening of the Senatorial campaign
thus early is accepted as an indication
that the contest will be an earnest one.
Senator Allison, whose health seems TO
have been completely restored. will take
the stump IN his own behalf next sum

hands Of his friends until after the ad-
journment of Congress.
