Feeling that the period has been
feached In the development of The
Farmers' Union which will determine
its success or Its failure—the period
when every element of strength, Indi-
vidually and collectively, will bo re-
quired to stem the adverse tide which
is buffeting It; that the united and
unified streugth of The Farmers Educa-
tional and Co-operative Union of
America will be put to the severest
test for its existence—at tho earnest
solicitation of many of my warmest
friends, and at .a personal sacrifice to
myself, I have conseuted to the pur-
chase of the Southern Mercury by the
National Co-Operator, and its amalga-
mation therewith, in order that the
Interests of the Union may bo better
advanced and subserved by one strong
journal devoted to Its especial Inter-
ests.
Whether my judgment ln this mat-
ter be correct or not, I have tho con-
sciousness of sincerity of purpose and
earnest desire for the success of The
Farmers' Union movement, be tho cost
or personal sacriflcc what It may.
To my old friends who have for the
past seventeen years stood unfaltering
by me ln my efforts toward securing
needed reforms, I feel that attachment
which develops from years of arduous
struggle in a common cause. To many
new friends who have como during
the more recent period In which the
Mercury has lent its energies and ef-
forts to the success and upbull .ng of
The Farmers' Union, I am also grate-
ful indeed. Their never-failing support,
finoncially and morally, has kept the
Mercury's banner at the front of the
fray.
I bespeak for the bigger and hotter
Co-Operator and Its management the
hearty support and endorsement of all
friends of the Mercury; I hope it will
be a welcome visitor to the home of
every member of the Union.
I feel assured, from my long and
Intimate acquaintance with Brother
Pyle, that nothing will be left undone
to make the paper what every member
of the organization wishes It to be—
the best Farmers' Union paper pub-
lished.
For the present, I shall remain with
The Co-Operator to aid ln cementing
this new alliance, the better to accom-
plish tho end ln view.

for tho groat cause.
The first sentence Is mendacious and
slanderous. It says: "No one can
justly censure the producer of cotton
for dreaming Utopian dreams of mar-
ket methods designed to bring to his
pocket maximum cash returns for his
product at minimum expense."
The Farmers' Union has no such
end ln view as Is enunciated in this
quoted paragraph. No farmer with
intelligence enough to raise a bale of
cotton ever had such a thought, or even
dream, as that printed in this para-
graph. The warmers' Union ouly do-
sires a fair price, based on cost of
production for the products of the
farmer, be those products what they
may. It opposes the' speculator's Inter-
ference in the pricing of property not

one of these games Is more decent,
more honest, more respectable than

who runs the tabooed games does not
pose as a leader of society, does not
claim that his games are "existing

lamb be may entice to do business
with him, of what he has on his per-
son. He does not, by concocted
schemes, manipulations, conspiracies
and combinations, force his victims to
do business with him. He does not
prey upon women and children and
make commerce of their lives and
souls as does tho futures gambler and
speculator In farm products.
This speculators' advertisement Says,
referring directly to cotton, that you
can not eliminate the element of
chance in its production and in its
sale, because of "the vagaries of un-
certain seasons" and "the prosperity
of even the remote corners of tho
earth." The farmer who produce cot-
ton know very well that the crop de-
pends In no little measure upon the
seasons, and that the amount sold is
dependent in some measure upon "the
prosperity of even the remote corners
of the earth," and he always makes al-
lowances for these factors and has no
complaint to make that he has to con-
tend with natural causes and effects.
It Is these spurious causes and effects
resulting from the actions of the spec-
ulators In their combinations and
machinations and their manipulation
of the markets so as to rob him. This
same speculators' advertisement says
"famine in China, war clouds in Eu-
rope, financial stringency in the world's
money markets, the death of a czar or
a king affect the Intrinsic worth of
cotton because such incidents in the
world's current history change the re-
lations of supply and demand." This
Is sophistry in its condensed form, to
speak mildly. To speak plainly, it is
as unvarnished a llo as ever was print-
ed. "The intrinsic worth of cotton" is
no more affected by such things than
"the Intrinsic worth of an ounce of
gold, or a three-karat diamond. Such
incidents as these are seized upon by
the speculrulng contingent to manipu-
late prices *0 their cvii advantage, and
when there Is a dearth of such Inci
dents they aro manufactured for the
occasion. There is hardly anything
easier than to get up war clouds in
Europe that will look fearfully porten-
tious until next day, or to enlarge upon
the constantly recurring famines iu
some part of China or India, or to dyn-
amite a czar or king, and correct it
In later dispatches, and as to a fi'ian-.
cial stringency Ih the money markets
of the world, they are kept ready pre-
pared—and you do not even have to
put them on ice—to do their beneficent
work, any old time. And when the
banks get that flexible currency
scheme enacted into law, "the financial
stringency"' dope will be worked to a
finish. Tho "supply and demand" idi-
ocy haa become threadbare. No ar-
gument or pretended argument ever
comes from the speculators' camp
that Is not based on this foolishness.
"Supply and demand" is the bug-
bear, the bogie man, that is always
conjured up to frighten the timid.
There is nut land enough in culti vaK^a
ln the South to produce cotton enoigh
to supply tho demand of the world, if
good sense and prudence are used by
farmers Id. marketing their crops. Let
the market crowd the producer and
not the producer crowd the market.
The speculators know this and they
know that through the warehouse sys-
tem the farmer can and will control
the marketing of their crops, holding
them till the market comes after them,
hence they are fighting the Ware-
houses, filling the papers with paid-for
articles against them and using every
effort they can to destroy The Farm-
ers' Union.
The same speculator's advertise-
ment says: "Speculators cannot be
eliminated. Somebody must carry the
weather, the war and the shifting
trade risk." If such risks exist, which
Co-Operator denies, except as to the
weather, the producers propose to
carry them, themselves. They do car-
ry whatever of risk there Is in the
weather. They have always done so,
always will do so. These speculator-
philanthropists are too good and they
ought to stop it, because the good die
young. Now, these same kindly specu-
lators In this paid advertisement are
so generous as to tell The Farmers'
Union what It ought to do. It says,
"the remedy for complained of evils
might easily be secured and perpetu-
ated could the men who are foremost
ln demanding revolutionary reform
but eliminate the ideal from their cal-
culations and fight for practical re-
sults with half the ardor they have al-
ready displayed." Every Local Un-
ion in existence ought to pass unani-
mously a vote of thanks to these dear,
disinterested gentlemen for their ad-
vice. It is such a free gift, too. Ho^
ever, It Is hardly probable the Unioa
can be induced to adopt the tactics
suggested by the enemy.
This same speculator's advertise-
ment says, "Cotton speculation may be
regulated and policed by law. Just as
fire and life insurance is now policed
and regulated." Just so. Like it is
regulated in New York, for instance,
where the money of stockholders and
policy holders is appropriated by di-
rectors and officers for their own use.
But there is no use quoting further
from this paid advertisement of the
speculators or offering further com-
ment Co-Operator, however, would
urge the brethren to give no heed to
these paid articles that will be sees
in the daily and weekly press, the
aim of which is to lead you astray, to
fill your minds with doubt, to make
you dissatisfied and to lessen the in-
fluence and benefits of The Farmers'
Union. Beware of some of the new
organizations that are springing up
and that are liable to continue ta
come into existence here and there..
They are but a part of the enemy's
plans to defeat us and to keep us in
bondage. We have millions at stake,
so far as money goes, and we have
our Industrial freedom in the balances
and these we cannot endanger over
frivolous differences.
The main and only thing is to free
ourselves from the yoke we have been
bearing too long; that we ourselves,
and not someone else, may control
what belongs to us.
