Fanners* Organizations. Paper read before the farmers’ institute 1 fit Pike county, held at Winslow, December 0nd and 3rd, 1897, by J. D. Selby: Political parties have their platforms, churches have their creeds. our forefathers; had their “declaration of independence, so . the farmers* organization has in* “declaration of purposes,'1 which is the foundation pr starting point for organization. By* /organization we shall develop a better and higher manhood and womanhood among ourselves. To enhance the comforts and jattrsctions of our homes, and strengthen pur attachments to our pursuits. To maintain and inviolate our laws, and to emulate each other iu tabor. To hasten the good time ooining. To reduce our expenses, both individual and corporate. To buy less and produce more, in order to make our farms self-sustaining. To diversify our crops, and crop no more than we can cultivate. To condense the weight of our exports, selling less in the bushel and more on foot and in fleece. To systematize our work and calculate intelligently on probabilities. To discountenance the credit systom, the mortgage system, the fashion system, and every other system tending to prodigality and bankruptcy. la*organization we can meet together, talk together, work together and act together iu a general way for our mutual protection and advancement. We shall avoid litigation as much as possible by arbitration. We shall strive to secure harmony, good will and brotherhood among ourselves. We shall endeavor to suppress personal prejudice and all unhealthy rivalry and selfish ambition. Faithful adherence to these principles will insure our meutal, moral, social and ,material advancement. We wage no warfare against auy other interest whatever. On the contrary, all our acts aud all our efforts, so far as business is concerned, shall l*e not only for the benefit of producer and consumer, but also for all other interests that tend to bring these two parties into speedy and economical contact. lienee we hold that transportation companies of every kind are necessary to our success, that their interests are intimately connected with our interests. We shall, therefore, advocate for every state the increase in every possible, way all the facilities for transporting cheaply to the seaboard, all the products of our great country. We are no* enemies of railroads or any other corporation that will advance our industrial interests, nor of any laboring class. We are opposed to such spirit and management of any corporation or enterprise as tends to oppress the people, aud rob them qfe*heir just profits. We are not , enemies tff capital, but we oppose the tyranny of monopolies. We long to see the antagouism between capital and labor removed by common consent, and by enlightened statesmanship. At times there are problems that seem to demand .immediate attention, if neglected disintegration of government - seems certain, and yet when the problem is solved in a way far CTiffenent from the wildest guess, the people wonder at the agitation of a trifle. And there are other evils fatal a-' the deadly night shade that gnaw at the very vitals of -society unnoticed. In studying its far-reaching effects it sometimes appears that banded organization is wrong, but as long as combinations exist upon every hand, organization is abr •olutely essential. Poiferful as some of these combinations are, they might be short lived if their victims would counteract in unison, but as long as the middle classes can be kept divided, and studying whether it is right to punish -criminals, whether taxes and mortgages are prosperous signs, whether the liquor traffic is the root of all evil, and whether or not the better part of humanity is represented in legislative halls by husbands, sons aud brothers, just so long shall these conditions continue. Through-organization and exchange of ideas m that organization might the true condition of affairs be learned aud the laboring classes come to know their rights and demand them.)

i ue wage earner woo n&s not enougn u> carry him over a successful strike has seen the value of organization, but the farmers, those who bread the world, the bone and sinew, the brain and brawn of nations, and and who bear the weight of government, haye not, it seems, learned the value of organization^ except in theory. Those who will condemn, organization regardless of purpose, but while combinations do exist it is certainly in all the breath of truth, not only right, but necessary ‘ to establish counter organization. Whenever combined force shall cease, then there shall be no need of 6p|>osiUg power, no need of organization, uo need of government itself, but all shall then together form that one vast ideal common health, “Where the war drums throb no longer," and the battle flags are furled, in the parliament of mass. The federation of the world in conclusion let me say that thmugh organization of fanners and all laboring classes we may check the greed of giant monopolies and corporations. Through these organizations are have obtained decisions of the United State supreme court, on our side. Organization tends to make the fanner a better citizen. It Fill give him and his fatmty more social enjoyment. It will make brighter and bappiet homes. It will benefit its members mentally, socially and financially. Temperance is supported, charity is a prominent characteristic. It makes the farmer hotter to himself, better to his neighbor, better to his Vuntyy, and better to his god. These organizations! have bjt none of their teachings ever made | a man or a woman worse, but they hare made hundreds of them better. "May kind Heaven the glad day hasten, w hen In oue fraternal band We shall number in our order. AH who tllrthts smiting land, tike a mighty host with banners. Peaceful victory we will gam. Moved by rights resistless purpose, fkebl by law's electric chata.”
