m0ters Of class legislation, and all such
other classes and professions are ser
yiceable to the farmer, and the farming
class nece3SitatyS their existence. lie
greatest cause Of complaint the farmer
Ins against other classes is that they
Get too much cf tile profits of the farm
crs production. This is not the 1au!t
of other classes but it is tic farmers
own fault. The farmer employs too
many of the other classes TO attend to
his business, aid often pays them toe
much for services rendered. TO ohia!n
money or supplies to make his crop the
farmer pays the retail dealers profit: The
wholesale dealers profit; the local bank
ers profit, and the TIL charged the local
banker by the New iork caritalist for
the use of his money. II there was
no lerl! obstruction the farmer couid
borrow money direct from the New
York capitalist (or bankcr) and purchase
from producers and manufacturers dl-
rect, and thus save two profits OH his
purchases now unnecessarily paid TO
