THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

The Chicago. Tribune thinks we
need not seriously trouble ourselves
about the complaints of the farmers,
The Tribune is wrong. II there is
any class of people in America today
who need to be considered seriously
II Is the men who till the soil. But
let IL be kept in mind that there are
deinIgogs and malcontents among the
farmers as well as anywhere else.
These malcontents do not deserve
consideration. because they do not
represent the sentiment of the rank
and tile OF producers, because they
have always been with us and always
bowling about something. No meas
ure of favor ever closed their mouths
and no degree of prosperity ever gave
them satisfaction. The farmer as Il
class is intensely patriotic and ready
to de- his part IN the nations tasks,
but while he is doing so he wants
to he satisfied that he is not being
made the goat. as has often occurred
In the past. The men who, in the
face OF the governments endeavors To
fix :; just and fair price, will surely
clamor for 1t to be a little higher
than any decision possible to reach,
are rot the true representatives OF
the farm element.
IL is interesting to note that when
wheat was 1t $3.50 the farmer RAJ ely
got more than $3.50 for his crop, and
often less. Now If the price is fixed
at s2.2O or any other figure, what Is
needed is that some means should be
fourd to insure the farmer getting
what the government says he shall
get There is the rub. But, while
the farmer Is worthy OF just consid-
Grafton. he has not been the chief
sufferer from the conditions that
have maintained. Neither is II the
miller or the jobber or the baker, but
the man who works for day wages or
on a salary. II is his back that the
| high cost OF living has been breaking.
J Everybody, IL would seem, who has
/ TO do with the necessaries of life has
been trying TO get rich at his eN-
pense and he il is who is more in
need of governmental protection than
/ even the farmer. While we are look
ing after the farmer, let us not for
get the wage Garner and his heavy
| burdens.
