FARMERS TO THE FRONT 131 



and in snch a contest the farmer must, of necessity, 

 win. This is a force — this new force, this Third 

 Power — which the industrial trusts would under- 

 stand and respect. Thus organized, the farmers 

 could meet their enemies and oppressors on their 

 own ground, and overthrow them, if necessary, for 

 the common good. The trust problem would be 

 solved, and solved in such a way as to benefit all. 

 And the farmer, enabled both to buy and sell advan- 

 tageously, would enjoy a prosperity and freedom 

 such as he has never known, and that prosperity and 

 freedom would be shared by all our people. The 

 world has been waiting long for this Third Power. 

 Now it is at hand.
