farms and all other property. Even

An Untruthfui Statement.
They tell you that these hard times
have hurt those who live upon farms
more than those engaged In other pur-
suits. We assure you that the con-
trary Is true. Thousands OF men In
business nnd financial circles have seen
the entire savlngs OF life wrenched
from their trembling hands. No day has
dawned upon American farma when the
family did not sit down to Its accus-
toned meals, but there are thousands Of
men, heretofore prosperous In the world
OF business and finance, who do not
know to-day from whnt source will
come their meals for tomorrow. In
this land OF Infinite crops no man
starvcs upon farm. Such suffering Is
confined to cities and manufacturing
districts. The shlpwrecks OF business
have left thousands OF families strand
cd. Some OF them are supported by rel
atlves: some OF them by daughters who
work In your Offices; and many, alas!
very many, would hand out their hearts
In gratitude II they had the comforts
and shelter OF humble farm.
No class OF men can escape suffering
when the nation SroanS In pain. We
assure you, the republic Is like the indI-
vldual. II ons part OF the body polite
Is wrong. all parts are wrong. We can
not prosper unless you do. You cannot
prosper unless we do. One class of cltl-
gems cannot be benefited at the expense,
OF another class. The dagger which de-
stroyS the stomach will kill Just as
quick rs the dagger which destroys the
heart. All Of Us must have n part In
better times. or all OF US must suffer to-
gcther. II true citizens now vote that
their nelghbOrs shall remain honest and
honorable, II they declare Enthusiastically
In favor OF individual integrity and ma
tional credit, II they declare permanent.

Farmers OF the United Staten! We

republic rests upon your lands. They
have 10 other foundation. We recognize
the greater fact, that II this country Is
to haye happy future. It must find
support in your nobility OF character
All thinking recognize that your chill
drcn nrc the most important product
| which you and your farms give to the
country. The farmer boy Ia the coming
man OF business. the coming financicr.
the coming statesman. Without such
canstant Reinforcement our country
would soon fall Into decay. You are
now called upon to vote so that those
children will grow up In the atmosphere
OF honesty. Only few years ago. the
citizens of this republic were made TO
| pour forth blood and money, in order
| that all our farms should remain under
| one government. and In order that our
| broad domain should be consecrated to
| the principle that every child born on
these lands shall have even chance wish
every other child to make the most Of It's
| existence. Now another crisis has
| forced US into cruel loss, In order that
We may retain the honor and credit OF
the cnuntry We have saved. While we
undergo this sacrifice. let us consecrate
our farms. our offices. and our homes to
the common good and give this republic
new birth. In such event, on the
morning OF the Attn day OF next Novem-
Der, n brighter sunshine will burst unon
American farms than ever fell before.
On that day new era OF prosperity will
be innuglrated, which will constantly
unfold its blessings In our midst. Out
OF that new prosperity you will soon
| regain those property values which
Organism has dctroyed. and on that Elo-
| rIous morning rise with the sun cxul-
tant in happy thought that your chill
drcn will grow up with better environ
ment OF morals, and will finally receive
q larger Inheritance OF national honor.
