this that / am prompted to address you.
For years farmers have Justly COM
planned of being required to pull at the
short end of the yoke because of unfair
and unjust Determinations In legislation
and transportation, and at the present
time the farmers are charged with being
the cause OF the high cost OF living when
the amount invested In their business. the
hours devoted to hard labor and every
thing connected with the details OF agri-
cultural life-they are, as a whole the
poorest paid class of people In this coun-
try while relatively the most important
During all recent years farmers have
been told what a great blessing has been
theirs through the so called protective
tariff, and yet to find market for their
principal crops they have had to compete
In the markets of the world where the
price is fixed But suddenly II Is discov-
cred that the farmer Is the sole cause for
the high cost of living. and what hap
pens? The president (Mr Taft with a
total disregard for the interests of the
farmers, submits plan to open up to
competition with the farmers OF the Unit
ed States the products OF Canada while
being careful to preserve the tariff or
more correctly speaking. the tax on all
the farmer has to buy. which as clearly as
anything can exposes the hypocrisy and
"humbuggery' of the claim that the tariff
is any benefit to agricultural as compared
with manufactured products
Now, the farmers of this country have
an opportunity to benefit themselves that
has never appeared within my recollec-
ZION. as the Democratic party has been
compelled by the force of public opinion

SENATOR GARONER'S VIEWS.

The Maine Statesman, Himself .
Farmer, Declares That President
Taft Would Continue to Tax Farmers
Of the United States and at the Same
Time Compel Them to Compete With
Canadian Farmers.
The reasons why those engaged in
agricultural pursuits should support
Governor Woodrow Wilson for presi-
dent are strongly set forth by Senator
Obadiah Gardner of Maine in an adj
dress to farmers
Senator Gardner is a practical farm
er. one who farms his own farm. and
he is probably In closer touch and SYM
pathy with country life and its en-
vironments than any other man In pub
lie life.
For twenty-five years Senator Gard
ner has been actively interested In
the national grange. and for ten years
he was the master of the state grange
of Maine. A few years ago he came
within close margin of being elected
governor of the Pine Tree State.
"A little less than a year ago. when
Senator Frye. who had represented
Maine In the senate for thirty years.
died. Governor Plaisted honored Mr..
Gardner and recognized the agricul-
tural interests of the country by ap-
pointing him to the United States SEN
ate. where he has made a most credit
able record. devoting particular atten-
ton to the welfare Of the great rural
population Of the country. He is now
a candidate for reelection and will un-
doubtedly be successful.
In his address Senator Gardner says:

THE PEOPLE AND THE CUR

In dealing with the complicat-

ought to consult very many per

cause we distrust the bankers,
but because they do not neces-
sarily comprehend the business of

are indispensable servants Of 1t
