DEMOCRATIC PROMISES
TO FARMERS FULFILLED
Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth In
Official Pamphlet.

Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth In
Official Pamphlet.
The Democratic platform Of 1912
made this promise to the farmers of
America:
"Of equal Importance with the
question of currency reform IL the
question Of rural credits or agri-
cultural finance. Therefore we rec
ommend that an investigation Of
agricultural credit societies In for
eign countries be made, SO that II
may be ascertained whether sys-
TEN Of rural credits may be de-
vlsed suitable to conditions in the
United States; and we also favor
legislation permitting national banks
to loan reasonable proportion Of
their funds on real estate security.
1--WE recognize the value Of vo-
catiOnal education. and urge Federal
appropriations for such training and
extension teaching In agriculture In
cooperation with the several states"
These pledges, with many other
services to the farmer, have been COM
pletely fulfilled In the legislation OF
the present Administration. The rec
ord of Democratic Performance IL Of
fered In comparison with the Repub-
lican record Of broken promises to the
farmer, in an attractive pamphlet Is
sued by the Democratic National Com
mittee. Copies have been furnished
to every Democratic State Commit
tee for free distribution.

"But the people do know. for It was
before them In the Presidents address

the prices therefore rise in propor- tion to the increase in that amount.
 This condition would not occasion any trouble were it not that wages lars, not in terms Of the neco1saries of life. If men were paid so much as Cn allowance for meat, so many pounds of flour, so much eggs, so much bacon, ham, 90 many suits of clothes. so much rent, wages would not be interfercd with by any alter aticn in the price of gold. But in asmuch as only a round sum in goiG or silver is allotted to each worker, when the purcha .ecble material can be secured herewith falls, the actu- al wages falls clso.
 Moreover labor itself being a commodity, regulated by tho lew ot supply and demand, it also is sub ject to such fuctuation as may fol- low from a variationi Of the one or the other, and it is interesting to ob- serve the peculiar condition tha; now obtains, that the only articles of commerce, the only commodities wherein the price shows an actual deterioration, when the price is th. relation of one commodity to another are gold and labor.
 The supply of labor >-s so great in almost all centers that it is in excess of the demand ard the demand fo2 food, shelter and clothing, is 80 for in excass of supply that t means that the actual price of the former sinks and the actual price of the latter increases. Therefore foi the workingclaos, this stre&m ot gold that comes into the banks ol i the cast, and the stecdy increased production of the yellow metal at a reduced cost of operation means cer-
 tainly that their wages will have l less purchasing power than former
 ly, and although apparently the
 price paid for lcbor represented iu
 dollars and cents remains the same
 it means a big variance from what
 it urcd to represent in the necessa.
 rios of life.

The only chance for the workers is to get together. Solidarity Is what counts It counts today, to- morrow as it did yesterday. One man is powerless. He can only gain the job or the little concession on i the job by doing something which in the main prcjudicos the job ana the concession and himself against his fellows.
 Organization is the key to effec- tive effort. Why shouldn't the work. CTS take g, lesson from their prcpar- odness campaign which the capital ists today are making. 2 They are looking into the future and consid- ering the welfare Of their treasures. Why shouldn't the workers every where consider the welfere of their persons which can only bc adequate i ly secured by organize tion. That's our preparedness campaign. It ought to be carried on by every in- dividual worker The means are handy; the material here. Every worker ought to prepare and the first step, the last step and the step that must be taken is organiza- tion. That's the key to the situa- tion. That is the working class pre- paredness and it oughtn't to be in terfered with by hair splitters who criticize this policy or that, but who ought to think that when policy is not suited to them, the only thing 1 to do is to say so, and show why it should be changed.
 This is preparedness doctrine that ought to appeal to all workers. It is that which should be conjider- ed in the present so that the future should be cared for. Let the past go hang. The dead pest must bury it's dead.
 We live in the present and for the future. To better our lives, orga- nization is again we say the keynote of all successful effort. Organize.

The interests of every working mar, are wrapped up in that af every other workingman. This seems to some to represent a condition to which they will not assent. But they cannot get away from it. Ii one man is willing 70 work for a a certain sum, then if another seeks work, his wage demand will be af fected by what the other is willing to work for. If all as working men realize that they have that always in common, the selling of t1eir la Dor power, they will realize that what their fellow worker does as a worker deeply, inevitably and in- variably affects them also
 And this involves also tho neces- sary and insistort argument for or ganization-for labor organization. realizing that one workers acts af | fects the welfare of the acts ot every other worker, gets them to- gether on common field, unites their instinct for self preservation, the first law of nature, gives them the strength of mass action to req lize their dcmands, and gives them | the confidence that masscd action, solidarity, alone conveys.
 And labor organization docs other things. It brings men together as nothing else can. It is unlike in this some fraternal organization where some fraternal organization where no brotherhood may prevail, the orga- nization is subdivided into groups and cliques which represent socia. groups and cliques in the commun- ity. Attend some of these social anu fraternal functions and it will soon be realized that the higher your social position, your commercial status, your financial standing, the more important will be the position occupied in those organizations at those functions This may be due to other causes of course than the mere fact that some earn their bread with the sweat of their brow ana others with the sweat of their jaws, but it. in any event, shows that the grouping is there none the less. In
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-02-07

fact the only absolutely dehocratic organization is the labor organiza- tion, the organization whcEcin tn, newest member has his say as well as the oldest, and wherein every man has absolutely the same stand ing from every point of view
 The purpose of the labor organi- zation is entirely different It is had no function to glue together the social interstices and resulting in d conglomerate misfit. It takes all men who labor for wages and gives to each an individual expression what tactics are the best for the advancement of the whole as indi- vidual wage workers.
 Furthermore, it is this very fact that disarms criticism of those who denounce what labor organizations do if they are workingman. The labor organization gives every man voice, every man vote and not one man two voices and one man two votes, and there is not the se- cret prestige of the employer enter ing in to gain support because he is man who controls the joD.
 No matter a continental how lofty and earnest and sincere and high principled may be the obliga- tion a man takes in a fraternai or ganization, the fact that he is ths boss of another man who is also Q member, makes that other member who is a employee dependent upon him. The basis of brotherhood is equality, and there can be no equal ity and therefore no real brother
 hood, where every person does no:
 meet on the same economic plane. i Men often proclaim that they
 would willingly join the labor union if that union did not adopt one DO Hey or did adopt another That's all pronounced buncombe. Every
 man can get into a labor organiza.
 tion, and if he objects to the policy
 pursued it is up to him to change
 it. Sometimes it might be improved upon, but it cannot be improve
 upon unless the man who has thai
 improvement in mind comes out joins the organization, and gives hi ideas as to what is and what Is no
 the correct policy.
 The Nome Mine Workers Unior welcomes all wage workers; want'
 everyone of them. It wants them nt
 matter what may be their idea:
 whether ideas of reaction or of radi
 calism. It insists that as member;

 and as attcntively to the view

 as if his own. All men have tn
 right to be heard and tho free ez
 prsssion of opinion is th9 essentia'
