UNION BANKS ARE ESSENTIAL
To SUCCESSFUL POOLING,

/ ~ SoVe6eesSt
Brethren:-I propounded few
questions in a few issues ago. that |
thought would bring, out, plainly
and clearly, the above topic. But as
yet, | have not heard a note from any
ones horn. OF course il has been
said that silence gives consent, but
| cant tell by your silence which
way you think, but | hope you are
thoroughly considering those ques-
tons.
Now, if we would get the best of
these columns, we must agitate such
questions as in which we are concern
ed, keeping straight down the line,
and taking good care not to fool with
any little side show that may be stuck
up at US.
Back to the subject Well, have
quite little opposition to the Far
mers' Union Banks. which trust is
the honest and sincere opinion of
those who are opposing, but it seems
to me that if we would look at it,
hat it is not merely a scheme to
benefit those who have the money TO
put in bank stock, but it is more to
help the poor, so that by tiding them
over panics that We may accomplish
what have started in to accomplish.
Take for instance, the view. that
there are three ffths of the farmers
that have pooled their tobacco this
year, that have to have, or actually
need, an advance on their tobacco, Of
say, 80 or 90 per cent Could We Of
any certointy, provide them any
such? That question was answered
last fall by the banks Of, not only
Crittenden county, but of all this
nation.
Now, Farmers, take warning by
what has already transpired. want
1t understood strictly, that | am not
censuring any banker in the State OF
Kentucky, for what happened in the
banking business. Let the blame be
placed where it belong, upon the
shoulder OF the farmer. Upon the
men who are the very foundrtiou Of
the banking business, as well as all
other enterprises. Pretty broad as
sertion isen't itl But it take, no
proof to verify that assertion just lay
down that little self interest and
think for one moment, and you are
convinced Of the facts, that if the
farmert didn't trade with the business
man, that the business man could not
do a banking business further if the
farmers did not borrow and deposit,
the banks wouldn't pay clerks and
high taxes to do business. So down
goes the bank as well as every other
institution, without the hand OF hon.
est toll and production
Now, brethren, that we are emery
ing upon the pooling business. let,
not be SO silly as to make one pro-
mise that we cannot fulfill.
1t is a fsct--undeniable, that all
the tobacco in our Union cannot be
thrown upon the market at stripping
time, and | the Honest Toiler"
realize Just and equitable price for
it. so, We must pool, and if we
must pool lets use every incentive
possible to aid our weak and distress
ed brothers.
Can We do our very best while we
let those gamblers and thieves Of farm
products hoard our money and hold
it away from us at the very time we
should have it2

individual or firm. The Union is

fence or two as we did last fall and
We will not only be wrecked ourselves
but some Of our best friends will
have to quit the merhantile business.
1t is truly the opinion of some,
that the farmers of Crittenden county.
the men who have built the towns,
high roads, public buildings aud have
in some parts of the county contribu-
ted extensively to the building Of a
railroad that would deny them the
privilege of free ride, say it is
the feoble opinion of some of our
most interjetic farmers that we can t
own and operate bank. Puny argu-
meut, indeed when there are already
three banks in the county that are
doing good business
| say, that if the +. +. and c. T..
OF A holds out pooling proposition
to one of its members, or any other
individual, 1t will be doing a half.
way business if 1t can't say in con.
junction, that we will actually ad
vance you at least 80 or 90 per cent.
on your woed when 1t is pooled, de.
ivered and insured.
II is my opinion, that old pooling
associations and unions that fall short
Of the above, will be failure as long
as the national banks hold the grip
they have upon the throat of our
commerce. And you may rest assur.
ed, that as long as the constitution
of the L. s, reach as it does and
that L. S. Senators are elected a.
they are, that long they will hold
their death grip upon the American
people.
As have said before. the only
salvation for the working class i to

LISTEN Our Own Business
We have left it to Applehead law
makers and bosses of finance. till |
believe it is going to take the
deserving with the help Of God to
redeem this nation Of its present
condition. Let every man who tolls
ask himself Can | do anything to
help a weak and helpless brother
=, No Man Liveth to Himself.
Now. in conclusion, let me say. as
on that Is interested for the welfare
and hereafter Of all mankind. thatwe
have no time to waste, next year We
should be in shape TO handle every
pound of tobacco grown by the +. r.
and c. U. Of A. membership, a. well
as who are out and not eligible to
membership. Now if We are to pool
the tobacco Of the farmers, why not
hold out a safe and sane system by
which the farmers may pool their
money, also.
Banking is merely poolins sys-
tenn, or Trust and don t see why
the farmers can't indulge in it.
;, lets make arrangement, to pool
our money first, regardless of what
our kinsiolks and neishbors say, who
own little bank stock. Lets look
after the poor al well as the rich.
We have got scarcely time now to
get bank into operation by next
pooling time. so lets get busy.
Don t try to comfort yourself with
the idea that we will not have any
in this matter, for, There
j. no excellence without great labor,
ank if thou will be faithful in few
things, | will mako you ruler over
many.

Local Christian Societies have been
advised that the annual communion
season of the mother church, The
First Church OF Christ, Scientist in
Boston, has been abolished. In former
years the communion service OF the
Boston church has afforded an oc-
cassion for large gatherings Of Christ

world. The change was first made
known through the following state
ment, which Mrs. Eddy gave out to
the press:
"The house of the mother church

ing: The branch churches continue
