Ingersoll on the Farmers.

Everybody and everything takes
toll from the farmers. No wonder
that they want to dosomething. l do
not think the planks in the Cincin-
natl platform can be fastened togeth-
er and held in place. The farmers
ought to know that these resolutions
passed by political conventions raise
neither corn nor wheat, neither can
they effect prices. l do not believe
that the government can make money
by law any more than it can make
good crops by law. The government
can't support the people. The peo-
pie have got to support the govern
ment. The government is perpetual
pauper.
ask this one question: If the
government can make money, why
should it collect taxes? Why not
make what it needs and stop bother.
ing the people?
Still l am glad the farmers are dis
cussing these questions. They will
find out what the government can dC
and can not do.
