F. B. V Tk Farmers’ Mutual Benefit As-j soeiation, from all that we learn, is growing ia strength every day. For man years—yes, tor alt tiuie past—the farmers have been the least on the alert. Their business has always, been stteh as forced them into a channel of lifethat offered the fewest inducements to be dishonest; and, as a result, the phrase, ‘’Iloneet old Farmer,” has become proverbial. There 1 is but oue first honest employment, that of production. All other employments come as a%Gts.-istaut to production. All people engaged 'mother ^ occupations depend, eitherdireotlv or: indirectly, npon%»e pnBiucer for sue- j cess, and even for the.mean* by which I they clothe and feed themselves.j This, we believe, is self-evident, and ! if not self-evident, it is so apparent | that “no man, though a (ool, need err therciu.” And now, a*vay down here in the nineteenth century, iu the I United States of America, grow sup an organization which has been made necessary by those who depend upon tha producer for food and clothing. Every trust, combine, and conspiracy that can be for the benefit, financially, of attv one, must be damaging to the farmer and to him thftt is engaged in the production of whatever article, it seems to ns that every one must know that the more yon take from the producer by taxes or over charges in what he has to buy, tbe less, he can buv, and tlie less will be left for him when he does buy. The F. M. l>. A is not matting so much of a strike against the ioea! merchants, but more against the.unjust exact meats which many of our legislators have made possible by pernicious legislation. The binder twine conspiracy, for conspiracy it is, is one which the farmer has a right to contend against. There are other- tilings against which the farmers will contend iu time. When they buy an ordinary suit of woolen clothes tiiev pay nearly So jntr cent. tax. i Many other things might be mentions ed, but these two items arc enough lA> [justify the farmers in organizing for I their own benefit. Long live the F. M. B. A. \V. II. Leedy, of Indianapolis, was j here last Friday, on the occasional. | the dedication of the tuw halt of l*a- ' cific Lodge No. IT.'». 1. O. Q.
