MORE FARMERS' POLITICS
A FEW days ago the dispatches 'conlaiiuid the. jiuws
1 that an attempt Would ho maue, to organize six mil
lion American farmers in a co-operative movement for
marketing their products. The political press mqstlv dis
missed the item with the scant coinmen, that it meant an
other granger uprising like the granger polities of Hie
70s or the farmers' alliance in .18,92, with the added com
ment that the movements soon (Jied out.
J lie plain truth is that the granger movement of the
v.- mm .ikuiil mi- uppri-KKiun 01 mc railroads and lor
state and federal control, and we have both today, and no
sane person thinks such control will ever he abandoned
except Jor government ownership.
As for the farmers' alliance, most of the demands of
the Ocala platform have been enacted into law. The peo
ple's parly may be dead, but its principles have gone
marching on from victory to victory.
The co-operative movement now inaugurated is the
greatest of nil farmorinovcinejts. The grain growers of
the Dakotas and Minnesota have given it a trial, and suc
ceeded beyond their expectations. ni. thev hurl in fin-hf

would not produce if the colored voters came to town on
election day.
The little red schoolhouse, the farm paper and the
rural telephone have wrought many changes. The average
farmer today reads and knows more of politics than his
city Jnend, and the surest sign is this co-operative move
ment.
When men agree to work together for their common
good they are traveling upwai'd;' whep men work against
each other for selfish benefit, they are stumbling down
hill. Six miljjon farmers co-operating can change the
economic life of the nation. From co-operative selline- it
is but a step to co-operative buying, and from buying but
another to co-operative prodticipg ydiat cannot be raised
from the soil.
I'Yorn co-ope rait ive creameries to co-operat'ive flour
ing mills is not a far cry. If the farmers can have a co
operative gram elevator, why not a co-operative sugar
jaciory or a co-operanve packing house
Tho American farmer is the superior in education and
intellect of the farmers of any other land. He needs onlv
the jifie of capital to carry the co-operative movement to
its lull fruition, and he can tret the most of it from Iuk
own savings deposit. If the government will help him half
as mucn as u neips rue hanlcers, his independence of the
financial and commercial world is at. hand. And this he
is about to demand, and what he demands he gets.
