THE GREATEsT CLAIM

W hlch agriculture now has 10 the
favor of mankind arises from its eXemp-
ton from the present tendency of
economic and financial forces, to eoerce
all successful enterprise in other in
dustrial pursuits in the hands of men or
corporations owning or controlling great
capital. This tendency, as pointed out,
in the speech on Vanee's amendment
before alluded to, and also commented
on in a speech l made in June, 1882, In
favor Of my amendment to exempt the
tools and implements of mechanics and
farmers from Federal taxation, Is now the
marked and Distinguishing feature of
the present age. If not arrested, 1t Is
certain TO divide the people of this coun-
try land all others) into two classes

and the other of the remainder Of The

All small enterprises, all little men,

frcm the greater economy and superior
advantages of larger establishments over
the smaller. This economic law seems
70 be reversed in agriculture, except
possibly IN the wheat fields, on the rich
and unexausted soil Of California and
Dakota. In all other parts Of our coun-
try it is true that mother earth yields
a more generous return to the careful
tiIlage Of the small farmer, and there i
