of President Taft In vetoing tariff
cratic house, the farmers would al.
ready be experiencing the beginning
of the distress which is certain to
overtake them as soon as the Demo
Gratis are given an opportunity to en-.
act free trade laws.
II is also a noteworthy and inter
esting fact that while the farmer has
been receiving high prices for his
products he has not been compelled
to pay as high in proportion for the
things which he uses upon the farm,
Statistics show that the increase In
the selling price OF farm products
has been 70 per cent, while the In
crease in the cost OF manufactured
articles has been only IL per cent
The farmer, therefore, has not been
seriously affected by the increase In
the cost OF living. He has had to pay
more for some things. but he has
received so much more for the prod
ucts which he has sold that the bal
ance is heavily In his favor.
This condition of affairs must GER
tainly appeal to the farmer and con-
vince him that II he desires con-
tinuance OF the prosperity he now
enjoys he must vote for the re-elec-
ton of President Taft. He may be
dazzled by the glittering promises
held out to him by political aspirants
who oppose President Taft, but when
he sits down to reason Gut the situ-
alton he must see that those prom
Uses are nothing but words and that
the practical benefits which Presi-
dent Taft has afforded him and which
will be continued IL President Taft
is reelected are better than all the
promises in the world.
For the farmer, II Is a matter of
experience against uncertainty. The
farmers of this country, who are In
telligent, sensible people. will not
hesitate In deciding that they will
vote for President Taft. In doing
this they will make their present en-
viable position secure beyond doubt.
A vote cast for any other candidate
will invite a repetition OF the dis
tress which during the last Democrat.

The board which was created by the

cultural educational work. 1T being the

Congress should enact into law any one Of

which would lead to bureaucratic regula-

The board agrees that If the policy is
adopted OF providing federal funds for agrl-

should have the same liberty in the appli-

that they erjoy in the use Of their own
funds.
