/ Speaking about his army service n his
Z speech az the state falr. 1Ir. Bryan said
+ that he learned there more clearly than
f ever before or anywhere else that be-
/ meath the differences that separate Us
/ there IS g patriotism that viii suffice for
every time OF need Continuing. he said:
/ We are more stingy n making ap-
. propriau0ns for the farmer than for any
other large class OF our people We are
I the s-eatest agricultural country IN the
world. and agriculture is the greatest in
dustry in our country, and vet almost a
I hundred years elapsed before the farmer
{ goc a seat around the Presidents council
table. What VIII you think when 7 tel
you that for every dollar We sVend on
{ that department. We spend more than 81
on the army and uavy2 More than s.
spent in getting ready for wars We ought
never 10 have than We spend on agri-
culture
Rewards Vet Rightly Adjusted.
Mr.. Bryan declared that the farmer
was inadeIuatedIy represented in the Ma
tionaI Congress. and said: Man as he
lives close 70 the soil lives close to God
II is easy 10 teach religion TO one who
sees the miracles performed every day.
As I Travelled around the world the con
viction grew upon me that the great
root Of all the trouble was that the re-
wards of society were not adjusted 20
the work that the people did
The landlord system. the tenantrv. tie
law Of entail. all these have helped %
f overturn the natural law and substitute
an artificial standard of reward As I
{ have come into contact with thu farmer.
as I have seen him earning all thar he
& enjoys and not permitted to enjoy ali
{ that he earns, I have felt that II is from
him the world must learn that Goa's
1 plan IS the only plan that can be pe-ua-
/ uently successful. and that Il We make
our nation what it ought 10 be, and the
7 world what it ought TO be. we must
model the law Of society TO the law of
God. and apply It 20 him who asks only
Of man that he must have what he earns
and be permitted 20 enjoy it,
