SENATOR PADDOCK.
During the last decade the farmers of
our state have more than doubled their
own wealth and the wealth OF the state
They have seen their farms appreciate
IL value. often hundred fold. and their
crops find really s2la AZ remunerative
prices. Overproduction. resulting from
want OF proper diyersificatiou. unw.se
haste IN marketing the products Of their
farms. local partial failures OF crops. due
to caprices OF nature over which neither
they nor n protective tariff have any
control, have at times decreased the re
turns OF their labor and lesscned the an
nual rewards OF their toll.
But / aiti-n, with the confidence of
intimate personal knowledge, that no
class engaged in building ~ its fortunes
by personal labor has p-opered in a
fuller degree during the past decade
than the western farmer: has been en-
| abled 20 earn more. or To save more, or,
in proportion to capital Invested, he's
secured larger interest returns on its
principal. However unremlneratiye ag-
