Help YOURSELF.

Don't quarrel with others about not
helping the farmer when you are not
trying to help yourself.
Some farmers do a lot of bowling
and no work because they are too poor
they think-to do anything else but
howl the calamity howl.
The man with manhood and plenty
OF grit and energy in his make up
need never ask others to give him
room ; about all this man needs is to
put his natural talents to work with a
vim and the world will give him plen-
Jy of room.
Why all this talk about organizing
the farmer of to-day when our daddies
and granddaddies lived better than we
do without any organization among
themselves? Because, u daddies
and granddaddies produced almost ev-
erything they needed to eat and wear,
upon their own farms excepting salt,
sugar, iron and what little money,
they needed then to pay taxes which
for these small items was not very
hard to get out of his surplus cot
ton and other crops and stock.
And now we fool cotton growers have
for 10 these many years been trying to
get rich buying all these things at the
other fellows prices, and paying for
them with our cotton also at the other
fellows prices. We are compelled to
organize before we can price our own
cotton.

The Farmer Declaring His Inde-
Dendence.

pCho<hCSs
from the Weekly News, Denver, Co!o.]
The American farmer is about 70 de
clare bis independence of the specu'
lator of Wall street, and the move
ment has not been initiated q day toe
soon.
The farmer has worked and worried
and bis profit has been small. The
had crop worries Were all for him,
He stood the loss alone. The specu'
lator in life's necessities can do as well
on q bad crop as on q good M
We are glad to be able to tell ouI
readers that the farmers have made up
their minds to put an end to this sys'
tenn, and that they have gone to work
in%telligently.
Hitherto the farmer alone has had
nothing whatever to say. about the
price to be paid for What he actually
produced.
Some man in Liverpool, some mill
owner in TIE North, might settle the
price that the Southern cotton grower
must take per bale of cotton. Some
other man, thousands of miles away,
could settle the price that the Western
farmer should have for his grain.
The farmer alone had nothing to sag
about it. The railroads decided what
they should charge him. Banks de-
cided what they shonld charge for the
use of the money. Trusts decided on
their extortions. Tariff builders de-
cided what tax the farmers wife and
daughter should pay on their dresses.
But the farmer W0S forbidden to
have any say in fzing the price Of his
goods.
This is to end, the work has been al
ready begun in the farmers organiza-
tions. This newspaper congratulates
the farmers, and greets as public bene-
factors the moving spirits in the great
farmers organizations.
The farmers of the country are the
backbone of the country. They de-
velop the nations real wealth, which
is the wealth Of the SOH. They are en-
titled to q full share of that wealth and
Of the national prosperity. By comb.
nation, by insisting on fair prices for
their cotton, their wheat and their
other crops. and by refusing to sell the
fair price, they have already added
lens Of millions to the annual returns
from the farms. They add tens and
and hundreds of millions more an
nually as their unions increase In
power.
The isolated human being, whether
ne be farmer or mechanic, is at the
mercy of every form of greed and cum
ming.
The farmer has too long plowed,
narrowed, sown, reaped, sweated and
fretted to build up bank accounts for
others, and pay interest on mortgages.
We are glad that he has decided, By
Union, to keep for himself and family,
which means for the people of Amer
lea, that to which they are entitled.

Getting Something for Nothing.

Getting good practical farmers to
quit their work to 60 out and work for
the Farmers Union for nothing is ali
that is in the way of spreading the
Farmers Union organization all over
our South land in a very short while.
This prevailing idea among farmers
to get something for nothing, or get
cheap men to do cheap work instead
of getting good men at good prices to
do good work is the biggest stumbling
block in the way of the progress of the
farmers organization. 1t takes a big
hook and a big bait to catch big fish
and bold the game-and a small fly
hook for minnows.
You cannot control the price Of cot
ton unless you can control the men
who hold the cotton.
The cotton grower can not prosper
while others price all he sells and buys,
any more than he could pull himself
out of mire by lifting at the straps Of
his boot legs.
