Our foes seek a little more time to
perfect their plans, and to keep the
farmers quiet they play the siren
song of, “Rural Credits”—for if they
can either amuse the farmer or lull
him to sleep a little longer with this
new delusion, they can more secure
ly fasten his chains upon him—for
this recent Wilson currency legisla
tion has licensed a gang of pirates
to rob the nation at pleasure and
without limit. “Rural Credits” is
the “stone” they offer the farmers
for “bread,” and “for fish they give
them scorpions,” that shall sting
them to death. It simply proposes
that the farmers organize banks with
in the National Bank Trust and loan
themselves their own debts, while the
bankers collect the interest. Great
God!! Will the American people,
and especially the farmers, never
awaken from the nightmare of their
financial slavery?
There is no class of men in the
country that the pirates fear more
than the farmers, when they are
aroused and organized.
Then, ring the bells, toot the
horns, -build bonfires and raise a gen
eral commotion to get the attention
of the farmers all together—then let
them rally for quick, decisive action.
