Il want to read you an extract from a
speech made on last Saturday by the Re-
| publican candidate for President at Can

! tective policy we enjoyed for more than
| thirty years the most marvellous prosperity
| that has ever been given to any nation of
| the world We not only had Individual
| prosperity, but we had national prosperity.
| Now, there is statement made within a
| week by the presidential candidate on the
| Republican ticket, pointing back for thirty
| years, from 1860 to 1890 and telling the peo-
| pie that during the period we. enjoyed the
| in the world, and that we had both in
dividual prosperity and national prosperity a.
| chantment to the view. want to show
| you by this same witnesses very testimony,
| given six years ago that after thirty years
! OF his kind of policy the farmers of this
| take the report filed with the Mckinley bill
| words which L wish to quote:
9 That there is widespread depression in
| speaking of agriculture-that is what the
! presidential candidate said when he DELHI
his pro proposed iegislationGt there is wide
| spread depression in this industry to-day
be PpaopS 5 Of AgaP b in
complaints now prevalent among our farm
| ers is that they can get no price for their
| crops at all commensurate with the labor
and capital invested in their production.
That is what he said after thirty years of
the kind of policy which the candidate of
the Republican party says will bring. you
prosperity. Let me read again We have
not believed that our people, already suffer-
fed with legislation which will result in
lower prices. No country ever suffered
when prices We're fairly remuneratiVe in
every field of labor
After thirty years of that kind of policy
from rei low prices and that no Country ever
suffered when prices were fairly renumera-
tive in every. field of labor. Now let me
read you again what he says in this same
report: This great industry speaking OF
agriculture is foremost in magnitude and
Importance in our country. Its success and
prosperity are vital to the Nation. No
prosperity is possible to other industries if
agriculture languishes.
''That is what he said in 1890, that there
was depression in agriculture after thirty
years of his tariff policy and that without
prosperity among the other industries of
the country. Let me read you just one
more extract: The depression in agricul-
ture is not confined to the United States.
The reports of the Agricultural Department
indicates that this distress is general: that
Great Britain, France and Germany are
suffering in a larger degree than the farm
ers of the United States There he is tell
inc US that there is a depression in aGri-
culture and giving the names of three
prominent agricultural nations of the old
world. and telling that the agricultural
depr ession is even more marked over there
thar it is here. | want you to remember
that when you read in the paper that he
said that for thirty years we had such mar
vellous prosperity in this country" Great
