"a here's u having come tooor ears
that some ef tue members Of the Me-
chant Retail Association, Of Prescott
Ark, has seen ftto publish sach ofour
members that cannot pay. as dishonest
and as not worthy of any faVors what
ever, be it
Resolved, That we, the members Of
the Farmers Union of Nevada county,
will not patroniZe any merchant IN Pres
colt that will so persist in so publishing
any members Of our Union, unless SUI
-ficient evidence can be produced to
show that such members are wlllfully
trying to defraud merchants out Of their
just rights.
The above was handed me by mem
ber of the Farmers Union. 1t was in
tended as local resolution, but to save
space it was thought best to publish 1T
and leave the locals, desiring to do so,
endorse. We want it understood that
we are in no way antagonistic to the
Retail Merchants Association, but to
the contrary, feel that this organization
will prove blessing to US as well as to
them, in that it will enable honest men
who are under the necessity of buying
on credit to make better and more sat
isfactory arrangement. . y la.za-s - s..
We, as a body, endorse any organiza-
tion looking to the betttrment of all
the people-to the fostering of the
principles Of honesty and uprightness.
AS has been stated on many previous
occasions both in public and private
we, as farmers, have no cause of COM
plant against the bankers and merch-
ants of Prescott, with few exceptions.
We feel that we have been treated with
all the courtesy and consideration we
could ask-in fact we have all come to
understand that our interests are iden-
tical.
In the hard fight we have made we
have had the sympathy and co-opera-
tion of the majority of our business
men and, as rule, they have stood be-
hind us urging US on to victory. lwould
regret very much at this late hour for
anything to bring about strained con-
ditions between the two classes; nor do
| believe that any one will knowingly
and willfully aid in bringing about such
conditions.
do not pose as counselor in this
matter but would insist that the two
organizations be fair with each other,
keeping in mind that both organiza-
tions are in their infancy and like
children may be easily irrtated and do
things which would bring about a rup-
ture amp ultimately mean the destruc-
ton of both. Personally, | am inter-
ested in the welfare of all our people
and feel gratified to see any legitimate
business succeed. The Farmers I'm
ion ssorg anized for business purposes
amp being a member in the true sense
| have no higher ambition than to see
it succeed in the fullest sense of the
word, especially as its success would
mean the success of every other bust
ness.
| believe the above resolution was
written in the proper spirit with no in
tentionsso of interfering with any business
mans policy, granting to all the right
to succeed in lheir own way. Now to
the Union | would say; let every one
of us do uor best. If people mistreat
Won let them alone, but be sure you
give them no just cause. desire to
see the time when the fact that man
;s a member of the f. +. & C. u. of A.
will be a guarantee of his honesty.
