FARMERS TO THE FRONT 61 



nothing can benefit or help them which will not help 

 and benefit all others. So they are not subjected 

 to the temptation to prey on others to which other 

 classes have yielded. If they would put their prices 

 too high they would curtail consumption. Hence, 

 how reasonable then that they will do everything 

 possible to secure the maximum market. In fact, 

 this is one of the leading reasons for organizing 

 and one of the principal objects of the society. If 

 the Third Power controls the other powers it will 

 be only because it is the biggest and most essential 

 to the national welfare, and so ought to control. 

 But it will be ruled by equity, and in and by seek- 

 ing its own good it will, even admitting that it may 

 not mean to do so, seek the good of others. There- 

 fore, there is no reason why it should be antagonized 

 and feared by any legitimate interest or industry. 

 Rather it should have the cordial and friendly co- 

 operation of all who want to see freedom and in- 

 dependence, peace and happiness, truth and equity, 

 religion and piety established among the people of 

 the earth.
