but as | see he would also have
to do like the manufacturers; limit
his production in order to maintain
his prices, and then he would be
charged with trying to starve the
people and might find himself charg
ed with a crime and possibly put in
Jail, but 1T looks like he is going
to have to take a chance if the
manufacturers can not be induced
to reduce their prices.
This is written for the purpose of
sounding a warning that unless
there can be change in present
conditions so that $1.00 of the farm
ers products will buy $1.00 worth of
manufactured goods. This country
can not prosper and stand long I'M
less all classes of the people have
an equal chance to provide for him
self and family, and unorganized lab
orers living in farming districts are
in just about as bad a fix as the
farmers because they are working
for low wages and paying $3.50 for
goods made in a factory that he
should buy for S1O0 and there is
not a sane man in this country but
knows that he can not do this long.
| know that there are people in this
country who will say that ! should
not publish these conditions be-
cause it stirs up strife and disturbs
business, but if these conditions
continued to exist in this country
trouble is coming sooner or later

us have it now and not wait until
the farmers of this country are
stripped of every thing that he has
and loses his farm, because that is
just what is going To- happen IT

he is having to do it now.
l sometimes wonder why cur
local newspapers do not take up
these matters and talk about it
through their columns. | am afraid
that the big manufacturers must
own an interest in most OF our
newspapers, or they get the most
of their business from these people
and cannot afford TO say anything
that would be in the least against
their interests. know the dollar
goes a long way sometimes in con-
trolling people and cn the ether
hand it might be that they have
never given thase matters the
proper consideration and ] hope that
the latter is true, and :tey will give
US the news as it is because that
is the only way that wrongs can be
corrected is to call the attention
of the masses, and 1 would suggest
