No Farmers in it.

The farmers of this country are the
men who receive least of the fostering
care OF the Federal government. The
policy of protection doesn't add one
cent to the value of their products,
while it coinpels them to pay a much
higher price for what they are COM
PEELED to buy. Yet, as the Lynchburg
Adgance says, there are no delegations
of farmers in Washington besieging
Congress in the interest of tariff reform.
The protected manufacturers are there
in force with their sophistical argu-
ments and their pretended solicitude
for the American laborer. Delegations
of factory operatives are there, sent,
no doubt, by their employers, who
probably pay the expenses of the jour
ney. Delegations of New England fac
tory girls are there also pleading the
cause OF their employers, and nobody
is green enough to suppose that the
girls pay their own expenses.
Thus the protectionists are bringing
every influence they can command to
bear upon Congress, while the farmers
are at home attending to their own
business. And this thing has been 60
ing on for years, which explains why,
under Republican rule, the farmers
have been victimized and the manu-
facturers have been pampered by the
Federal government 1t is the impera-
tive duty of the Democratic party to
see to it that equal justice, or, at least,
approximately equal justice, is done to
all classes of our citizens
