Congressman Lever Champions Farm.
er-Strong pleas for Agricultural
Appropriation.

Washington, April 25.-The ears Of
the American farmer must have. burn
ed today because Of the eulogies and
tributes to his untiring energy, his de-
votion and his patriotism which were
paid him by members of the house
during the considering Of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill.
Next to the achievements of the
farmer, the American hen came in for
unstinted praise for her industry and
her usefulness, her champion being
Mr.. Dawson, of Iowa, who contribu-
ted thoughtful speech to the litera-
ture of the farm. f.,
The presidents message recon-
mending an appropriation of $780,
600 for the Mare Island navy yard,
was read and referred to the commit
tee on appropriations
Without reaching an agreement as
to the limit Of general debate on the
agricultural bill, it went over until
tomorrow, the features of the bill no!
being touched upon.
Mr.. Lever, Of South Carolina, class.
ed the farmer as the great conserva-
tive force in America politics. He
said the government expenditure per
capita of agricultural population for
the republic Of France amounts to
SO cents, for Austria 60 cents, Hun
gary 90 cents and for the United
States, which owes more to its agri-
culture than any of these nations, the
expenditure is 16, cents.
The per capita tax for agricultural
purposes for the United States is
about 7 cents.
Mr.. Lever made a strong plea for
larger agricultural appropriation and
less for the army and navy.

You Farmers Union man stand
up there and pull off your hat, We
have something to tell you that will
make you feel proud. Did you ever
think that our South Carolina Far
mers' Union column was now being
pulished i'll papers that reach over
four hundred thousand Southern peo-
pie who subscribe to these papers 2
Newspaper men tell us that is so !!
This should remind all who furnish
information for this column that we
should be very careful what we say,
for this responsibility is not only
great, but our teachings along this
educational line should be conduct
ell upon high plane.

There seems to be no salvation or
hope for that miserable, simple-mind-
ed call cotton farmer" who absolu-
tely refuses to heed the warning of
the Farmers Union about not plant
ing more food crops. Nothing in the
way of words seem to affect these
slavfes of ruinous system. They
cannot be made to feel anything Of
less force than rear-end collision
with billy goat or hungry cotton
mule that would force them to eat
their meals from the mantlepiece for
about week.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-05-01

anything; the farmer still believed In
the old-time doctrine that the people
should support the government and
not the government support the peo-
pie. He pointed out that the farmer
not only contributed more wealth to
the government than any other in-
dustrial class, but through agricul-
ture this country was occurring inn
munity from debt. "In internation-
al trade, during the last 16syears, the
products Of agriculture have paid
a foreign debt of $543,O00,0OO-an
adverse balance Of trade against pre-
ducts not agricultural from other
countries.'' Not only had the farmer
paid this foreign debt but he had
brought to our shores $5,092,OO0, 900
to swell. our national wealth. He had
changed us from debtors to credi-
tor nation.
Notwithstanding that the United
States is the greatest agricultural
country in the world Mr.. Lever
showed by carefully prepared figures
that we spend less in support Of that
industry than any other so-called
world-power. He said if we gave az
freely for agriculture as other nations,
the bill under consideration would
call for $100,00O,0O0, which it calls
per capita tax of the United States
for agriculture is abuot 7 cents; in
most other countries it is double that
amount.
Mr.. Lever submitted table which
showed that for the last six years ag-
riculture has received among the
smallest appropriations given by the
government for any purpose. "The
navy,' he said, "receives 20 times
as much as agriculture, and this in
time of profound peace"
