entirely dependent upon the man who
works our soil. Where would the

the banker, the merchant, and every

where the farmer makes his living
and it is the only way that the banker

The banker pays taxes to help to
develop our schools, churches; and var

farmers of community. This is
nothing short of narrowness to make
assertions OF this nature.
