MAJOR PANCAKE FLOUR, ready to

Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-03

chanic, Every man has the right, yea
the inalienable right, to price his own
labor or the products of his own
toll, and if the farmer does not do it
he had as we'll get off the face of the
earth so far as his prosperity is con-
cerned.
Between the farmer and the mer-
chant there ought to be reciprocity
based upon the demands Of justice be-
tween man and man. They are mu-
tually dependent upon one another,
one could not very well get along
without the other, but if one fixes the
price for both it is then one-sided
affair. Let the merchant be just to
the farmer and the farmer just to
the merchant, R, Taylor, in "The
Soliphone.'

SAVE THE COUNTRY MER-
CHANT
MER-
CHANT.

(trom the Weekly Investigator.
The yearning solicitude that the
express companies have for the well
fare OF the country merchant has
never been exceeded by that Of a
father for son. That solicitude
has increased since the public has
begun to comment upon the distribu-
tion of $24,O00,000 in an extra divi-
dend by one of them after paying its
regular dividends Of s per cent, with
the others to follow In the near fu-
ture. The anxiety for the country
merchant is so great that the express
companies have established a literary
bureau to disseminate information
that will tend to prevent legislatures,
congresses and railroad commission
ers from driving the country mer-
chant off the face Of the earth. Be
sides that, these benevolent and kind
hearted express companies will or
ganize lobby to work next winter
in Washington toward that end. They
hope to convince congress that par
cells post law, or a postal check sys-
TEN for the transmission Of small
sums of money through the mails will
be not only the destruction Of the
country merchant, but the overthrow
Of q republican form of government.
The Investigator has already re-
ceived some of this literature and
doubtless every man who has patron
lied the express companies will be
literally supplied, for the companies
have all their names and addresses,
as we'll as hundreds of thousands of
others. At present it looks as though
the country merchant will be saved,
for the express companies are spend
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
to protect him from the villainous as
saults of the farmers who want par
GELS post and postal check system.
He will be saved in spite of his own
apathy and Indifference, for very few
Of the country merchants are taking
a hand in the fight. A good many Of
them say that they don't believe
parcels post or postal note system
would interfere with their profits in
theh least, but the express companies
know that they would.

GUS ford, etc. Shall the people Of the
rural districts, the people Of our gen.
Grafton and Of our boasted high stand
ard Of civilization, be compelled to
forever use the miserable roads found
in the country? When the govern
ment is throwing away many millions
Of the peoples money, wrung from
them by unjust discrimination and
taxes and is lending many millions
to a favored few pet banks, without
interest, and building many stately,
magnificent, costly government build
ings, yet entirely neglecting the in
terest of the people, in not building
them the best Of roadsq Yes, the
railroads, the fat and favored few
corporations, are enjoying the favors
Of special privileges, and the tax pay
ers, the common people, are taxed to
the limit to keep up the high tariff
wall, when the government is letting
the rollicking, high rolling rascals
of high financiering fame go scot
free, to live in clover on the cream
Of the land, robbers Of the people,
parasites on the body polite, vam-
pires, sucking the life blood out Of
the people. Yes, the government is
throwing away millions to subsidize
private ships, and is handing out
money lavishly to greedy corpora
tions, and for private gain. Well,
isn't it about time our government
should call halt, line up for the peo-
pie and remember, oh, remember the
toiling masses, the real tax payers,
from whom she has extorted this
enormous surplus, that she is throw
ing away and giving away? Oh, re-
member the people who clothe and
feed the world, the people who live
in the rural districts, who seldom ask
favors, though they are the many
who produce and make the wealth of
the world. Yet, the favors they get
ore "like angels visits, few and
far between"
The people should be given the best
Of roads; they should first be widened
and Strengthened and graded, when
practical. As I have said, the auto
mobiles, etc., have come to stay; the
present roads were not built for them.
Who should vacate them, the many
people on business, or the favored
few who use them only for pleasures
Make the roads straight and wide
enough for all, with suitable sidings
at convenient distances, for the auto,
ETC., to turn into when the people
with vehicles are passing.
Yours for justice and right,
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-03
A JUST DEMAND.


for their product is just one 1t
is in the interest of humanity, of
equity between man and man. Every
thing else has gone skyward. Cot
ton prints have advanced from four
to eight cents, and all cotton fabrics
have advanced proportionately The
advance of the price of cotton
should be in the same proportion and
would be if the price was controlled
alone by the law of supply and de-
mand. But with cotton this law does
not control. The price of cotton is
fixed by the jugglers on the boards
of trade in New York, Liverpool, New
Orleans and other metropolitan cen
ters. How they do it we are not able
to explain, but that they do it is as
plain as the shining of the sun or
the falling of the rain.
The small buyers in the towns Of
the cotton sections do not fix the
price, neither do they control it, but
by cooperating with the Farmers
Union they can help control it. If
the merchants and cotton factors of
the South would unite with the farm
ers and say to them, "YOur demand
for Is cents cotton is a just one, we
will help you get it; we will, if nee
essary, advance you money and sup
plies on your cotton so as to enable
you to hold it for fifteen cents" then
the battle would be won. It is be-
cause large per cent of the farmers,
especially the tenant class, have to
sell, that the speculator is enabled to
control the market and fix the price
instead of its being fixed by the man
who produces it. There never was
more just demand fostered by any
set of men on earth than the demand
made by the farmers Of the South
that they have fifteen cents for their
cotton. H-
And what does fifteen cent cotton
mean?
Tt means prosperity for the entire
people. Not the farmer alone, but
everybody directly or indirectly de-
pendent upon the farmer for pros
perity Let us suppose that the CROP
in Greene county this year is four
thousand bales, which is perhaps. in
the neighborhood Of what it will be.

cents a Mound II will amount to $780,
