What Our Farmers Are Saying and Doing

business" and suppose the Labor
Unions establish all over the coun-
try the despotism which they set up
in Los Angeles and San Francisco
how long would it be before the ne
and establish a similar despOtism ON
the farms. In the towns and cities,
the white women have to submit to
everything nearly. The negro ia
dies" are becoming too proud to be
criticised, and almost too nice to
work. Frequently, your wife or
daughter will receive an insulting re-
ply, when she offers to hire the eb-
ony duchess.
The man who works for wages ON
the farm, whether white or black, has
a class-interest akin to that of the
city mechanics; but the owners of the
farms, and the renters of the same,
have none.
Where, then, is the wisdom of mix
Grafton? Or, of spending a consider
able sum to pay the railroad fare,
Pullman fare, Pullman meals, and
Toronto hotel bills of an Atlanta la
boring man sent to represent the
prOprietOrs of the farms?
Charley Barrett is pure gold. We
have no straighter, sincerer man.
But he has lots of scheming, de-
signing, selfish, unprincipled men to
deal with. And he has not yet got
rid of all Of them. Some of them,
he has not yet found out
Doubleday Page & Co. offered
Barrett $4,000 for his book; and he
refused to take this clean money,
because that firm would not or could
not put the Union label on it, Why
should any farmer decline a large
amount of money for his book on
that ground? 4
What right did anybody have tt,
say when, where, to whom, and on{
what terms Barrett should sell his
book or publish it himself?
He lost $4,000 of untainted cash,
because he felt that the Union label
ought to be on the volume What
made him think that? Because
the Farmers Union had got tangled
up with the American Federation
OF Labor; the good-hearted man did
not want to hurt feelings, or seem
to act inconsistency. l wonder how
much appreciation he got. Are the
Labor Unions all buying your book,
Charley?
You lost $1,000 of honest money
to get the Union label on; how much
has it helped the sale of your book?
How many copies have the Union
Labor men bought?
I'm your friend, Farmer, and al
ways have been. My interest is the
same as yours. Excepting a few
shares of stock in a little, one-hoss,
state bank, I own no stocks of any
kind; no bonds; no share in any
kind of company or corporation.

leaders got the full benefit of the
moral support of the Farmers
Union.
How?
The attorney of the National
Farmers Union sent telegram to
the Labor leaders, in the name of
the National Farmers Union, ex-
pressing the heartiest approval of
Gompers course!
What authority did the attorney
have to commit the farmers to an
endorsement of defiance of the
courts?
None whatever. But he did it, all
the same. At whose instance?
Doubtless at that Of the Labor lead
Such as this results from trying to

was glad to see Mr.. Duckworth's
editorial denouncing the Ship Sub
sidy thieves. The Texas papers had
reported him as making "an enthu-
siastic speech" in the Galveston Con-
vention, in support Of the resolu-
tons which these adroit and persist
ent thieves got the farmers to adopt
The Houston Post reports the pro-
ceedings Of the Convention and,
while it calls him N. A. Duckworth,
shows whom they mean by saying
that he is President Of the Farmers
Union of Georgia. Apparently the
Post does not know that Mr.. Duck
worth is an ex-President; and the
impression has been made that the
President of the Farmers Union of
Georgia favors this infamous steal.
The Galveston News, reporting the
proceedings of the Convention, con-
tains the same statement about Mr..
Duckworth.
In the American Flag, the editor
alludes joyously to the adoption of
the Ship Subsidy resolutions, and
gives the credit to two men-Mr.
Jackson and Mr.. Duckworth.
In fact, jubilations have been loud
among the editors, pamphleteers and
lobbyists of the Steel Trust, the Wall
Street railroaders and the Labor
leaders of the large Northern and
Western cities.
We hope that Mr.. Duckworth will
promptly demand that those who
have misrepresented his Galveston
speech make the proper corrections.
L am your friend, Foxy, and have
the scars to show for it, [ am also
the friend of the wage-earner and
under-dog, generally. But I believe
that it is best for the farmers to give
their aid to all just demands of the
Labor Unions without mixing I'D the
two organizations. The law-abiding
elements Of this country can not stand
for the Labor Union bill, now pend
ing, which declares that a mans
business" is not as much entitled to
the protection of the Courts as his
person and property.
Suppose the law does not shield
your business" of growing corn,
cotton and wheat from some brutal

buying He also loses freight and
mentioned.
Now, as Foxy has to lose 80
pounds (for no other reason than
that the buyer says he must), it is
manifestly to his interest to lose the
cheaper mmodity-bagging and
ties-rather than the dearer one,
lint cotton.
See it, Foxy?
When the Exchanges order you to
put on no more than six yards
weighing, say IL pounds; and six
ties, weighing, say nine pounds, you
have only 21 pounds of the cheaper
stuff, going to Liverpool or Lowell
AS you are made to lose 80 pounds
of something on each bale, and as
the loss is defended upon the ground
that it is a deduction for bagging
and ties, it is aWfully unjust to us,
and hard on us, to be ordered to use
only 2 pounds Of the cheaper stuff
The new rules amount to an arbi-
trary demand that we shall lose, in
addition to the bagging and ties, 9
pounds of cotton on each bale.
This will mean that we are to be
robbed of at least dollar on every
bale produced, over and above the
cost of the bagging and ties.
1t is a fine thing for the Farmers
Union and kindred organizations to
hold big and expensive conventions,
and listen to speeches on diversified
Farming, Hog and Hominy, the his
tOrical record of the Farmer, how to
organize a Warehouse System, and
all that; but it seems to me that it
is about time for the Farmers Union
to buckle down to business, and do
something worth while, for the farm
er himself.
The Ship Subsidy campaign which
I fear is going to be successful, is
nothing but a move to benefit the
Steel Trust, the Transcontinental
railroads, and the Labor Unions of
CuG DIS CLUES, D6yOuu the COCLOu
Belt.
Anybody who will study the Ship
Subsidy literature and speeches can
see that. Yet the Birmingham
Convention went a long way to
bringing about compromising rela-
tons between the Farmers Union
composed of landowning capital
ists) and the Federation of Labor,
which at recent national conven-
ton virtually declared that the pres
ent system of privately owned rail-
roads should not be disturbed.
When the Georgia Farmers
Union was making its fight for lower
passenger rates, the Labor Unions
came out on the other side. The
Wall Street Magnates confidently
count on the support of the Labor
Unions every time the merchants
and farmers make an effort to put
an end to railroad extortiOn.
This is no attack on organized
labor. I heartily favor it, and have
fought, to my cost, for the Labor

common DOnQ OF mutual interest that
can unite the rural proprietor and
the city mechanic.
Yet the Birmingham Convention
voted to send delegate to the Labor
Convention which is to be held at
Toronto Canada, -and the delegate
whom they elected is a city me-
chanic.
That's funny. What earthly in
terest have the country landowners
in a Canadian meeting of city labor
ers?
| see very we'll how the Labor
Unions are making use Of the men
who represent the farmer. I see it
in the legislatures, and in Congress
sional proceedings. I see it in the
efforts of the Labor Unions to Sc
cure the cooperation of the Farm
ers' Union in compelling everybody
to use the Union label
But while it is easy enough to see
what the city workman is getting
out of the farmer, I can not see that
the farmer is getting a blessed thing
in return.
Do you?
The farmers should steer clear of
all entangling alliances. They should
have an organization all to them
selves.
In the old days I had different no
tons 1t seemed to me that the
Knights Of Labor and the Farmers
Alliance were natural allies. In Con-
gress, we who represented agricul-
tural districts worked hard for eight
hour laws, automatic car-couplers,
and against Pinkerton deputies and
Child Slavery. | am not regretting
this; but what [ want to say is,
that the Farmers Alliance and Peo-
pies Party got nothing from the
knights Of Labor. In Augusta, Ca,
the working class stood CALAMITY by
us, but in nearly every other city of
the United States the laborers were
almost solidly against us.
1t is natural that the Federation
of Labor should desire to make a
cat's-paW out of the Farmers Union,
just as the Knights of Labor did out
of the Farmers Alliance; but it
seems to me altogether dangerous
to the farmers to have for their at
tOrney city lawyer who is attorney
for Union Labor; or to be sending
to Canadian conventions a delegate
whose interest is wholly with the Ia
boring class Of the cities.

WRIGHT MAKES NEW RECORD
Stays In Air One Hour and Twelve
Minutes With PASSENGER.

Washington. July 2S.-The worlds
aeroplane record for two men. as to
both time and distance was broken
in a beautiful fight of one hour, twelve
minutes and forty seconds-upwards
OF fifty miles and at a speed averaging
about forty miles an hour. by Orville
Wright at Fort Myer. with Lieutenant
Frank p. Lahm. of the army signal
corps. as passenger. The former record
was made last year by his brother,
Wilbur Joint inventor with him of the
machine in which both achievements
we're performed. at lie Mans, France.
That flight was one hour, nine minutes
and thirty-one seconds.
The cheering which heralded the
setting of a new mark in the conquest
of the air was led by President Tart
in person. who had sat an intensely
interested spectator, throughout the
flight. and who insisted at its conclu-
sion upon personally congratulating
the brothers spon their success. This
success was allimportant to the two
Wrights. in that il completed the first
OF two crucial tests of their machine
imposed upon them by the United
States gOvernment-the sO-called en-
durance test" which required them TO
remain one hour continuously in the
air with one passenger.
