HEARKEN I YE SONS QF EQUITY.
spirit of Equity
if. ripe, the world is yearning for
Equity, the Great God of Heavens
and Earth ha promised us Equity.
It is through our groat order that
equity will prevail. Wc invite tho
tmlers of earth to enlist with us; wo
kfik the co-operation of the friends of
the toller to lend us a helping hand.
We l)avc blacklisted none but the
wort cormorant who gambles in our
product or fixes a price balow the
rotl cf production. Our nation is
drifting on tho rocks of ruin and toward
the whirlpool of despair, and
it ran be saved only by the heroio
work of all patriotic Americans. The
Feciety of Equity will enroll all such
under its bannor. Co-operation of
the farmer, the merchant and the
banker will win, othor professions
will naturally follow in their wake.
Never was there a time when united
action was moro nooded. Tho panic
left the banks in a chaotic condition
a falling oil in deposits and millions
in paper that they must carry,
or erush thousands of farmors and
merchants if thoy forcod immediate
Fcltlemont. This has not only been
a less of vast sums in intcrost to the
Verrower, who hoped to sottled long
ago from sourees certain, but it is
withholding tbo monoy from the
bonafide speculator who would use
tie same for the benefit of trade.
Tbc merchants aro perhaps the
hardest pressed of all businosa men,
from the same cause. Tho farmer
tke groundwork of the earth's greatness
has been at work, until rccontly,
entirely oblivious of results, only
being glad of the privilege to work,
leaving all to others, who of course,
being busy with their own affairs,
overlooked his wcllfaro. With tho
banks and the morchanls powcrles
to holp the producer as before, it has
eausod him to think, to consider for
himself; to ask equitablo pricoH for
the products of his labor, and fair
treatment at the hands of othors,
Tke intents of these olasses named
are mutual and should be so admitted
by all. should be
the watohwerd, and tho Sooiety of
Equity is tho organisation to complete
this groat work, already bogun,
in all parts of tho Union. It enrolls
not only the wage earner, the
of farm produots, but his
friends of ovory othor calling. Our
motto is "An equitable price for all
farm produots, and poaoo and good
will to all mankind." Our banner
wavos over tho ruins of no legitimate
enterprise, nor can our path bo traced
by the wrook of honast tradesmen;
but wc aocord to overy one the right
to live, novo ajd obtain an honorable
support.
Tnoa brcthorn, let us kcop up our
distress signal, inviting success,
promising to help whomsoever we
can all the timo feeling that the
"Lord of Hosts will arm the right"
in this fight for industrial
once.

All tho tobacco growers in
and other Btatea havo combined
to ko nftor tho American Tobacco
Company, or so-called trust,
with hainimr nnd tongs, writes tho
Louisville correspondent of tho Cincinnati
Enqulror.
For tho rlrst time, they say, they
are a compact body and aro propared
to deal a blow every time tho "octopus"
strikes.
At Howling Green Thursday nil
the associations ot Kentucky,
Ohio and Tonnossea were
merged, po fnr as tholr fight against
tho American Tobacco Company was
concerned iito one organization.
Matah'iimtlnlly spenklng. the
combined wealth was enough to copo
with tho great New York Interests
which the farmers nay have been
grinding them into the duat ot their
own tobacco fields for 20 years.
Tobacco men from all States were
present In the Warren county capital.
Discussion dealt with the
various problems of tho association
severally, nnd It whs finally decreed
and decided thn' there was not an
Interest of one which twih not an Interest
of nnother ami
that the common end of nil was to
combat the trust From this argument
organization was perfected
with results which will probably furnish
the Industrial world with such a
spectacle as It has nevor seen
Belief In general here that night
riding will nt once cense Others
mnlntnln that It may burs: out now
and then In tho remote portions of
the stato that organized night riding
of the farmers against their
neighbors In the bluegrass and Western
Kentucky and Tennessee Is dead
forever as a result of tho Howling
Green meeting
One of tho most prominent of the
tobacco men was In Loulsrlllo after
the meotlng and the opinion was
his.
' "The association of the vnrlous so-
he said, "gives sinew and
onu purpose to what In perhaps tho
greatest pact of farmers in tne
wprld's history. It makes of Ave or
six snmewhiK Ineffectual struggles
against the power of the tobacco
company one concerted attack, which
will get through the armor even of

was In progress !ngpls of

Since then Miss Moyd has been
Known ns .Jonn of Arc of the growers,
snd when she made a speech nt
Howling Green the farmers and officials
of the asportation npplnuded
her until their pnltnt woro calloused.
The general Impression Is that tho
unified nctlon begun at the meutliiK
will go far toward making the fight
against the trust n successful one for
the growors.

The Worm
THK A. S. OK K. AND THK MONEY
PANIC.
The necessity of a farmers' organization
becomes more and more
obvious as time advances. The
truth of this Btntement can be substantiated,
perhaps, In no better way
than bv discussing one of the questions
of the day, I e . tho "money
panic" No one knows the cause
of the money stringency nt this time,
and, as was stated In one of our
dallies not long ago: 'Statisticians
will have trnuhle In the future when
they strike the fart, that 1907 was a
year of the greatest prosperity, nnd
of n pnnlc."
I stnted above no one knows the
cause of the panic, but I will modify
thnt statement somewhnt. ns perhaps
the trusts, speculators and the monev
kings do know the cause
After liberal discussions with
bankers and business men of various
ritlos, nnd after noting the many articles
written by very intelligent
writers In tho dally papers and
on this subject, the writer still
has no enlightenment as the cause
or tne panic
Like nhvslelans In n case nt ainir.
ness. we would find, first the cause
of the disease, and then, having
found It wo could apply the remedy
more successfully nnd perhnps pre-
'-iii n K.Tomi acinrK or tne troubles.
A noted writer recently Buscested
the passing of a bill by which and
through which the bonks nnd financial
Institutions be supplied with
morn currency in thn nil nt .,...
stntlng ns his reason that the monev
mnngcneicrt invnrlably occur In the
fall of the year; that "moving the
rrops requires a vast amount nf
money In n short period and that this
extra supply of currency be used for
thnt purpose
Will you, brother farmers, Just
stop and road those thre words
ncaln. nnd then consider the vast
meaning of the sentence preceding
them
I'non this nronosltlnn w hnm n..-
entire argument. Not that we need
nn extra Biipply of currency In the
nn ui me year 10 "move the crops,"
but thnt we market our crops gradually
throughout the venr thnrnhv
jneetlng the demand of the con
sumers and nlso the stendy supply
if currency.
As I view the situation. It would
be folly to even mnke an nttempt nt
supplying this extra amount of funds
'or "moving tho crops."
Whllo It g truo thnt money, when
In circulation. Is the foundation of
prosperity, ye.t It Is no less truo that,
nut In the hands of a few, it is the
'eennce of n nation
Put an extra supply of currency In
'be banks nnd financial Institutions
In tho fall of the yenr with which
to buy the cropH in a short period,
nnd you give n grenter scope, a
larger field, for speculations In farm
products. Do this nnd you will encourage
that abominable crime which
the farmers, by organization, are trying
to eliminate nnd against which
every true American cltlzon should
revolt.
If It Is true fund nnrhnnn It lil
that tho moving of tho crops Is the
caune io. money stringencies, then,
brothor farmers, let us push onward
with organization nn Mm a r nt u
plnn, as never before, novcr tiring,

mat. tno rarm products will bo marketed
irradlin.Hr thrnnrh thn Mir
and wo will not need nn extra supply
oi currency in tno rail of tho year
to "move tho crops" from the farm
Into the hands of the grain gamblers.
Furthermore, when wo become
thus organized wo can demand better
banking laws, nnd get them.
Thorough organization In the
American Society of Equity Is a sur
preventive of n "money panic."
