thirds of all our wheat, corn and
cotton on tenant farms, and who
raises over five million bales of cot

gage, and who is forced to sell his
whole crop on a monopoly controlled
market in three months time. we
make our appeal to the patriotic
democrats and men of all parties.
please let the farmer and wage earn
er stand side by side with the money
mongers and have equal share in the
millions you are to hand out, as Mr..
Henry's amendment provides. For,
we assert, by all the proof of his
tory, that millions of times have the
warehouse receipts on corn, cotton
and wheat been cashed by the banks
and trust companies of the earth.
but always under such methods of
usury and extortion as to impoverish
the farmer and enrich the combines
that controlled it; Mr.. Henry asks
not for a dollar except upon these
warehouse receipts and upon State
bonds and county and city bonds

and forced to stand and deliver. If
you teach the farmer and wage

rights they will disregard the rights
OF those you put over them, and YOU
engender strife, hatred and anarchy.

several delegations of sweet per-

satraps of the present system have
been parading over the world in
sumptuous junkets to find some
method to lead the farmer into their
net to cover him with blister plaster
mortgages, bind him and his posteri-
ty to the bond sharks under the
sham pretence of cheap money.
If they really want the farmer to
have honest access to cheap money,
let them pass the Henry amend
ments. If not 1 want the farmers
OF this country to tell them to hush
their whimpering whine of hypoc-
racy and fraud and take their sue
