The Fight in Minnesota

\ A1NOO&~|
with the Secretary of the Treasury at
its head, arises to kill every move
made toward the relief of the farmer
Realizing that the ruin OF the farm
ers Of the United States and the crea-
ton Of an American peasantry, toiling
under the mercy Of mighty agricul-
tural trust, will be the only logical
outcome Of the present state Of agri-
culture, and further realizing that the
sufferings of the workers will be in
creased thru that process without linn
it, the Workers Party as an integral
part OF the Farmer-Labor Party, in
structs its candidates. when elected,
to fight for a moratorium on all in
debtedness Of the working and tenant
farmers, and for placing the working
farmers after that period in position
where they will have, at least the
same privileges in the use Of national
credits as the non-producing and spec
ulating bankers, l. O., paying the rate
of interest Of two per cent and one
half of one per cent as the National
Bankers and Bankers of the Federal
Reserve Banking System are now pay
ing respectively.
Land To The Users.
We demand, that land be given to
those who till the land and that the
hold of the bankers and spectators
Of the land be broken by proclaiming
the mortgaging of land punishable
offence.
We demand, that the Federal Re-
serve Banking System and the Nation
al Banking System, which are directly
responsible for the present distress
in the agricultural section of United
States, be taken over by the govern
ment, and that the members of the
governing bodies of these banking
systems be elected by people from the
ranks Of producers and that they be
made responsible to the delegated
bodies of the people
We demand, that the taxes be lifted
from the back of the tiIlers of soil
and placed on the money-hoarders,
bankers, trusts and corporations, spec
ulating on the very life Of the work
ers, and we further demand, that the
privilege of evading taxation by in
vesting in governmental bonds be
stopped.
Bankers Should Be Punished.
We also demand, that the govern
ment, which now pretends to keep
Banking Departments for the safe
guard of depositors, be made respon-
sible for each bank failure, and that
officers be severely punished for their
neglect in allowing, as now, the specu-
lation with the funds of depositors
to exceed all bounds and limits.
We further demand, that the pur-
chasing of agricultural products be
taken from the gambling grain ex-
changes and packing trusts and turned
over to government control, and that
actual producers be placed in control
of institutions so established, respon-
sible to the delegated bodies of the
producers.
We demand, that the railroads be
taken over by the nation without COM
pensation, where as the railroads have
been built with funds taken and
robbed from the people, and the rail-
way management be put in the hands
of the workers and farmers RESPONSE
BILE to the delegated bodies of the pro-
Iducers.
Further, realizing that these de-
mands cannot be put into operation
as long as the capitalist class is in
unrestricted control of the state and
national governments, we urge the
workers and farmers to sweep aside
the parasites in our society and to
establish government Of the produc-
ing masses of our nation, by the pro-
ducers and for the producers on land
and in industries.
