moves Itself The main question with
the farmers is the lack OF money To
house their crops and prepar. them
for the market. and this was the Iin-
Outstanding OF the farmers when this
distribution was made. but they have,
been sadly disappo' nted. They have
been unable to get money from the
banks, and are no better on than they
were before the distribution. Who
gets this money" is the question. Are
the banks Ioaning il in the cities 10
their favoritc patrons. or are they
boarding IL for the future? Evidently
tho men who need IL cannot get it, and
are thereby defeating the very pnr-
pose That the government intended.
Another question. Mr.. Editor. that
the farmers would like for YOU TO cX-
plain: fourhfths Of the representa-
tvcs in Congress are elected by the
rural districts, and their constituents
are farmers ana country people, yet in
making the new tariff bill they voted
10 reduce the price of all farm produces.

constituents? | say not. Why should
the farmer he robbed of his hard
earned money To help the working class
in the cities? Why should legisla-
ton be against them In favor of tho
other? There IS only one answer 10
this, and that is the laboring people

not.
