The Farmer Wants His and Should
Have II.

1t seemed to be apparent from the
general line of the State reports that
the grange is leading in movement
for the farmers to control absolutely
the markets for their products. which
will mean that the farmers win ulti-
mately fix the prices and insist upon
getting fair return for their labors.
The above from a press report Of
the proceedings of the National
Grange in Boston seems to be borne
out by the address of the Worthy
Master who declared the farmer will
insist upon equal pay, no more. no
less, with other classes Of labor.
Surely the farmer would be bene-
fitted by such hours of labor and re-
turns therefor. as would permit him
recreation and opportunity, as much
as other mortals. The independence
which is said to go with the farmers
life does not afford any reason for
exceptions. In the first place that
independence is exaggerated: no class
of effort is more subject to the dictum
of price fixers than is much of the
farming of today. Any effort he may
make to secure equal footing with
others in this respect should be en-
couraged. If the farmer hauls his
product five miles and can get but
two dollars a barrel for it and the
consumer in that town pays at the
rate of FIVE to six dollars per barrel
any plan whereby the farmer may be
brought into closer relations with the
consumer must inevitably be for the
benefi, of both. ultimately if not i'm
mediately.
II it be possible to form the widely
scattered farming interests into a
trust even then it might be found as
difficult TO fix prices-and maintain
them-as happened in the instance of
the sugar trust; but they would have
an organization which under intelli-
gent management certainly ought to
be able to bring the farmer and the
consumer closer together and elimi-
nate part of the three dollars profit
per barrel now being absorbed by the
middlemen. Some of these are leeches
and should be shaken of
In the matter of monopoly the
farmer has no more RICH, to form one
than has the steel maker, the cotton
manufacturer. Undoubtedly the great
oil companies arrived at their wonder
full organization for distribution
through the necessities experienced in
efforts to establish monopoly. The
farmer will do better to learn direct
from achievement instead Of attempt
ing to arrive at it through the expert
ence of monopolizing. The oil COM
panies had vastly better opportunity
to establish monopoly than possible
to the farmers. United for better
quality and better distribution the
latter may achieve wonders: united
for the purpose of driving out COM
petition. for preventing the opening
up Of new land. for controlling poll
tics-as well as themselves-in short
for the purpose of arbitrarily fixing
the price. limiting production and
taking as profit what they happen to
want is taking on a bigger contract
than experience would seem to war
rant.
