"THE AVERAGE MAN."

The average man among the producers of wealth knows absolutely nothing about political economy or the science of government. All they know is, I am a democrat, or a republican. They know, nothing of the class legislation, the general cussedness and the imposition upon them by those who are higher up. Hence they are not competent for self government. Otherwise they are an intelligent people. Why is this the case? There is but one answer. A subsidized press. The press is the great medium by which the people are educated in regard to their best interest as intelligent voters. The average editor is doing business at the mercy of some one higher up. If he has a head of his own he is not free to use it for fear of offense and his place will be taken from him, hence he is as silent as the graveyard. I am proud of the Advocate. I am glad to know that the Farmers' Union has a paper that they can call their own. Does the average farmer realize the importance of this paper. I predict a revolution in thought and action among the masses. It will not only teach him in the science of farming, but will teach him the science of government, which is just as important as the farmer.

Not that I do not favor good roads, but if Mr. Dean would devote a page in writing up the cussedness of our present monetary system it would be worth more to those that he seems to be interested in than the good roads. I have been marketing my produce for 40 years and I have never been handicapped very much on the account of roads. But the trouble with me has been through a financial system by which a few men could earn the money of the nation and reduce my labor and products to starving prices. There is no other government on earth that has turned over to a few individuals the issue and control of the money of the nation. One of the most renown economists has said that the man or set of men that control the volume of money will control labor and the products of labor and can make the farmer beg for bread out of his own crib.

Mr. Weir informs us in the last issue of the Advocate that there is a conspiracy among the powers that be to destroy what money the people have left and supplement it with national bank currency. Now I do not doubt that the people would submit to it. Then we would be entirely at the mercy of the bankers. We would then have to pay interest on every dollar that went into circulation.

My Brother Farmer, the time is ripe for you to do a little thinking for yourself. You have got to learn what you need in the way of national legislation and make your demands of those that are to represent you. You will never get anything until you demand it.

Old farmer,
W. D. THOMPSON.
Newton, Miss.

Barn and Auto Burn.

Friday afternoon fire broke out in a barn on the place of W. D. Thompson, in the southwestern part of town, and the building and contents were entirely destroyed. Charlie Maynard had an automobile, worth several hundred dollars, in the building and it was burned. Mr. Thompson, the owner of the barn, not only suffered the loss of the building but also a big lot of fodder, corn and other feed stuff, as well as farming implements, and his loss is several hundred dollars. There was no insurance on the property. It was by hard work that Mr. Thompson's dwelling was saved. Some children playing in the barn are said to have set the place on fire with matches. The fire company responded to the alarm but the building being out of reach from a plug, nothing could be done.
