to a legitimate profit on his invest
ment. and to the support of public
sentiment in what he has done toward
the development of our ountry But
ISN'T 1t true that the manufacturer
receives tar more for changing the
form OF the raw material and fitting it
for market, than the farmer and la
boring ma does for producing it?
Is 1t not true, that the great bulk or
the wealth of this country has passed
and is passing from tire hands of the
men h really produced it from old
Mother Earth, into the hands Of the
manufacturers and the distributors.
the franchise corporations and the
banking monopoly of our country.
What has become of the six billions
Of dollars produced by the Southern
farmer in raw cotton alone. during
the past ten years? And this repre-
sents only a small part of the value
of the finished product. The little
State of Massachusetts turns out more
dollars worth Of products, than a half
dozen of the cotton States. In the
division of the products of labor and
capital, ought not the man to be equal
to the dollar? If so. then he should
receive one-half of the combined pro
duct. But he receives only about
one-ffth and capital four-ffths. Is
this a just and equitable division?
The tobacco farmers of North Car
DINA are imposed on even worse than
the cotton farmer. He sells his product
for whatever price the Tobacco Trust
sees fit to give him. When prepared
for market the consumer pays prob
ably from three to ten times the price
received by the man who produced it
from the soil.
! How IS the farmer to get relief? BY
organization, and better methods or
farming and marketing.
This letter is already too long, but
if my readers will join the Farmers
Union, we will continue this subject
in executive session.
