y. DO you mean to tell us that you
are in favor of paying out Of your
pockets higher freight rates just for
the conveniences you mention? Are
they worth the price?
Mr.. M. 0! We pay the higher
rates, but we add it onto our selling
price. Do you think we are so green
that we would not charge that onto
our customers? Why that "high
freight rate" is the best excuse in N.
D. for charging high prices for goods.
Why, the BARRIERS even charge freight
rates on shaves and hair cuts in N. D.
9. Mr.. NJ, what class of people
constitute the larger per cent of your
customers? 49,.
Mr.. NJ. Farmers, the good old
farmers! The backbone of commerce!
Mr.. Merchant will step aside and
let Mr.. Farmer take the stand.
@. Mr.. Farmer (F), Do you pur-
chase any thing from the merchants,
and if so what items?
Mr.. F. Yes, we buy machinery, i'm
plements, harness, hardware, lumber,
oil, clothing, seed grain, etc. In fact
we spend nearly all our spare money
with them.
@. Mr.. F., do you sell these goods
again?
! Mr.. F. No, we consume them but
we sell wheat, oats, barley, rye, po-
tatoes, flax, hogs, beef cattle, and
other such products.
Q. Mr.. F. Do you sell your pro-
ducts higher or lower-that is in pro-
portion to the prices you pay, like,
say the merchants do?
Mr.. F. No.
@. Why not?
Mr.. F. Because with farmers it is
give the prices others ask and take
the prices others offer. We control
neither buying nor selling price.
@. Mr.F do you raise the wheat
then sell it at price fixed by the ele-
vators, then buy flour back at price
fixed by the merchants?
Mr.. F. Yes, we do both.
@. Mr.. F., do you raise hogs and
beef cattle and then sell them at a
price fixed by the packers, and then
buy the meat back again at price
fixed by the butchers?
Mr.. F. Yes, we do both.
@. Mr.. F., do you raise the cotton,
wool, flax, etc, and then sell them
at price fixed by the manufacturers
and then buy your dry goods and 9TH
er textile goods back at a price fixed
by the merchants?
Mr.. F. Yes, we do both.
@. Then, Mr.. F., how are you going
to shift the high freight rates if the
railroad companies raise the rates to
the merchants and the merchants add
these higher rates to the goods which
they sell to you?
Mr.. F. There is no room for any
further shifting. The farmers pay
the freight.
The indirect method of taxation
known as the tariff and the private
method known as high interest as well
as extravaganza in Office are all
dumped onto the farmers in like man.
ner as freight rates.
Farmers ought to bear in mind that
gin union there is strength" Club
together, buy together and sell to-
gether. Meet often and discuss their
common interest, for by so doing
remedies for such wrongs will suggest
themselves.
Yours for equal justice to all,

The American humbug has more
lives than cat. No sooner is he
buried in one form than he is resur-
rected in another. He loves to at
tack the farmer because each farmer
tries to defend himself individually.
From all sides comes the advice
Farmers, ORGANIZED Organize in
production, distribution, and for the
common defense. A fine army, or
gained in every detail but supplied
with inferior weapons, can be routed
by an organized mob, carrying super
Tor weapons. For farmers to organize
and not supply themselves with effic-
lent weapons is work in vain and soon
leads to disorganization. The first
work in campaign, when it is learn
ed that recruits can be found for an
organized movement is to acquire an
arsenal. The Farmers Society of Ed
uity has established an arsenal of eff
fective economic and commercial wea-
pons of defense against commercial
imposition and industrial suicide.
Some of the Farmers Society of Ed
uity weapons are, Mutual Insurance
when old line premiums are excessive.
Mutual Credit Unions when interest
rates are excessive. Cooperative
buying when retail prices are neon
sistent. A Market Detective system
by which member may avoid being
the victim Of. INSCRIPTIONS brokers,
commission men and traders. 1t is the
business Of the Farmers Society Of
Equity to teach it's members how to
manipulate these weapons effectively.
Any farmer in good standing in his
community is eligible to membership.

The Reno Journal says that re-
ports of official county canvasses of
the vote of last Tuesday received in
Reno yesterday indicate that Sena-
tor Newlands has a lead of 81
votes over Samuel Platt.
An interesting part of the report
is that on the IL counties canvassed,
excluding the other four, Platt leads
by 424, while in the unofficial re-
ports covering these four countless,
Newlands is reported leading by
455. A comparison between PIatt's
official lead and Newlands' un-
official lead shows the maragin of 81
for Newlands
Four Counties Are Unofficial
The four counties which have not
yet canvassed the vote are Clark,
Esmeralda, Nye and Storey. In Nye
Newlands is said to have a lead of
214 votes and in Esmeralda a lead
of 133. In Clark he is said to have
a lead of 1913 and in Storey Platt is
said to have a lead of 80.
No reason is given in Storey why
the vote has not been canvassed, as
it Is all in. 1t is stated the commits
