How can the RenubIican narty beln the
tarmer2 First bv increasing his crop and.
second nv RAISING the prire of what the
farmer has 10 sell Can the Rennblcan
Marty incr,,s. the cro,sp docs If hold tbe
rains in lis hands? Does il send bountiful
showers when people vote the RenubIican
ticket and withhold the rains when thrv
vote a Democratic ticker Why if Won sion
to think tor a tnomept ,,ou will So. that the
Republican marty does not control the rain
fair If did there would he a uonopoly
of water. and vou would have to buv every
shower at a hinh price. TApplause.
Neither does it have a policy that raises the
price of wheat the farmer has to sell. The
farmer raises crops for export. and when
we are exporting the protective tariff again
raises the price of what they sell for the
export price fixes the price OF that we sell
at home. The uold standard again raises
the price of what YOU have to sell. The
Republican party has no plan to help the
farmer when he goes to sell. and when the
farmer gets the proceeds of his crop and
lrotS to spend the money then the Republi-
can party will allow the trusts to raise the
/ price of wheat he has to buv.

tine rich ON the farm. Now. rs a matter of
l,rt am NOT farmer at all am an

b,t,y.an , farmer and nm ,urirulturist
some one has described it in this way. That

..Nov tbe agricultural item that read
Stated that had 100 acres of oats and that
if had Welded IN bushels fan fin, acre. that
had sold them for 80 cents a bushel, and
the proceeds of the cron welded more than
twice what paid for the land Then the
paner said was inst a sarulr of what was
ro'pp ON ON the tarm-tbat thew were all
,,attin,, rich os was and were ooinr to
ynta the RenubIicln ticket bec,usr thr Re
nublic,u marty was fine only rich mans
marty in the United States Now. let me
ian you the tort Iustr9d of HAVING 40
! acres of oats have five acres of oats; in
stead of having 10 bushels to the acre. |
+, haven't had time TO thresh vet. and don't
know what they will WELD Instead of
selling them for 30 cents n lulshel they
were worth les, than 20 cent, i'm Nebraska
: when the article arpeared and instead of
paviur Sc an acre for the land. il cost me a
little more than 500 an acre. Now with
I these corrections, the story is true. Laugh
T. ter. My friends, | took the subject of
I oats, and then | looked the matter up and
. found that oats have averaged a cent
! buShe less for the first three years of this
Administration than they averaged the four
t. years Of the preceding Administration, 50
: that under this Administration if a man
I raises oats he gets less for his oats; hut
4 when he goes to buy something he finds
3 that lumber is up, and barhed wire is up,
b and salt up, and sugar up, and nearly every
T. thing else that the trusts control IS high.
That Is my experience.
And now, if you want to take the oat
q, crop as an illustration. let me show YOU the
- difference between the Olt farmer and the
: trust magnatc under the Republican Ad-
ministation Let us suppose that some
! young man with the average per capita
p wealth of thousand dollars married some
e young woman who was her average OF a
n thousand dollars, and they put those two
- sums together and buy an SO-acre farm nj
so an acre, and then mortgage the farm to
get enough to build house and barn, and
buy horses and cows and agricultural i'm
