crops and demand for his products at
good prices, and both have prevailed dur
ing the period named The raising OF
abundant crops depends in mea sure
upon conditions over which he has no
control, but largely upon his ability.
The sale of his crops and the price he
receives can in a large measure also he
controlled by the farmer. This he can
do by stimulating the demand and in
creaslng the consumption of farm prod
ucts. The farmer may live and have
everything necessary to sustain life. but,
to enjoy prosperity in its fullest sense.
he must be able to sell at profitable prices
what he does not need for consumption.
How can he assist in maintaining this
conditon!~ A foreign demand vii! not

from foreign countries is limited, and
the prices obtained for exported farm
products DEPEND UrON THE Do

factories idle, industries paralyzed and
workmen unemployed. home consumption
Is curtaiied and prices decline. How
can the farmer prevent this condition.?
by voting to maintain the protective.
tariff principles OF the Republicans party.
Ihat the protective tariff is a benefit to
the farmer, experience has proven, and
continuation of the PROSPERITY hereto

The Democratic party is hopelessly
divided on the tariff question, admitted
