FARMERS IGNORED
BY REPUBLICANS.
But Democratic Administration
Quickly Gave Them Justice
in Rural Credits.

Don't forget Mr.. Farmer. that
through your Farmers National Con
greSS. National Grange, National
Farmers Union, American Society OF
Equity. and similar organizations you
have for years demanded and have
importuned Republican administra-
tionS for legislation you needed.
WHAT DID YOU GET7
Through all the years since 1864
the Republican Party was deaf and
blind to the farmers financial needs.
This in the face of the fact that sue
cessful systems of Rural Credits were
in operation throughout Europe for a
century. When this great Democratic
measure was put 20 vote in the Sen
ate on May q, 1916, only five Re-
publicans dared vote against it! Three
of them We're on the subcommittee
who wrote the Republican Platform
of 1916.
Was it because you We're not Big
Interests? You We're, many of you.
highly financed, and High Finance
held the mOrtgage-and to that extent
You belonged to High Finance. But
you paid big interest to associate with
Big Interests. A stack of wheat
wasn't as good collateral as a sheaf
of scraps of paper held by stock
gambler. Nor did the Political Bosses
of the Republican Party care to
give YOU financial justice. They were
too busy protecting" themselves.
THE PROMISES OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC PLATFORM OF 1912 =
written in courage and honesty and
with sympathetic understanding of
the needs of every honest American
interest-HAVE BEEN KEPT.
The Republican Party refused to do
these things, which the prosperity of
the American Farmer required.
The Republican presidential candi-
date, Charles f. Hughes, denounceS
the Democratic party and President
Wilson for having done these things.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES
TO FARMERS FULFILLED
Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth in
Official Pamphlet.

The Democratic platform of 1872
made this promise to the farmers OF
"Of equal Importance with the
question of currency reform is the
question of rural credits or agri-
cultural finance. Therefore we rec
ommend that an investigation of
agricultural credit societies in for
cign countries be made, so that it
may be ascertained whether a SyS-
tenn Of rural credits may be de-
vised suitable to conditions in the
United States; and we also favor
legislation permitting national banks

their funds on real estate security.
''We recognize the value of vo-
cational education, and urge Federal
appropriations for such training and
extension teaching in agriculture in
cooperation with the several states"

services to the farmer, have been com
pletely fulfilled in the legislation OF

THE INCoNSlDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDATE.

Why does MI. HuSneS 1nSlSC upon
talking about that old fashioned, not
to say "iniquitous" doctrine, the pro-
tective tariff? For nearly the whole
period of its Industrial existence the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party in
1913 came to the relief Of an afflicted
and burdened people.
The Republican Administration not
Oh account of the tariff, it is true)
was overthrOwn. Before taking over
the reins of government, and for many
years prior to that time, countless
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an iniquity,
veritable contrivance of devils. 1t
fostered the trusts, and it was an ele-
vatOr of prices even to the thirty-sev-
enth story and the tower. They prom
ised relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost of living
should be reduced-must be, as the
sure result of tariff for revenue
protective only in spots, such as the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he is now
attacking? He ought to know. The
Democrats. under the leadership OF
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood, re-
pealed that iniquity and abomination,
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fos-
ter mother of trusts and high prices
and enacted in its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows, Of course,
as every head of family in America
knows. that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost of
living is higher than ever-that the
price of everything has reached an un-
heard of height-but what of it?
What of it, indeed? While it is true
that a protective tariff never failed
under any circumstances to protect
American industry and American la
Dor, it is to be considered that the war
in Europe has upset the plans Of the
present low tariff administration.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do is to give the Demo
Gratis chance to get their tariff on
straight. Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment. That time
won't come, of course, until the war
Is over-according to the Democratic
version. In other words, the tariff
for revenue doctrine doesn't fit the
conditions the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff. SO why this
disturbance. Mr.. Hughes?
Besides when you discuss little
thing like the tariff, do you not know
that Son-in-Law McAdoo and the other
statesmen Of the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that you are "pettifogging?"-Charles.
