diately release them from what
they call or believe to be Demo
cratic failure 10 protect them this
is a misrepresentation Of the facts
in the case, and my reasons for 50
saying, in this: The Republicans
have never had any love or affec-
ton for the farmer only in 50 far
az they can use him politically. II
the records Of the Republican
party were searched it would not
take an expert to detect the fal.
lacy Of their 50 called protection
Of the farmers. The farmers have
ever had to fight for any and all
concessions granted them, and the
reason they have had to fight for
their existence, is that the Repub-
lican party has always and will
always play into the hands of the
manufacturer. and the reason for
this play is that the manufacturer
Is a large employer Of labor and it
is the labor vote that they want
and are always playing FOR. 1t
was the labor vote that kept them
in power and labor was deluded
into keeping them in power. but
when labor awakened TO what was
going on they began to organize
md demand their rights and
through this organization De-
mocracy came into its own; the
farmer must awake to the fact
that it is just as necessary for him
TO organize to get what belongs to
him, as it is for the laJJrer; and |
this organization must be farmer
organization and not one com
posed Of farmers and manufac-
turers. Ever since ! can remem-

to his rights to-day than he was
fifty years ago. Why7 Rcceuse
he has allowed himself to be led TO
slaughter by the refnerS. ard the
way that this has been done is by
the refners leading the growers
organization instead Of the grow
er leading his own organization.
The refiners are against any form
of protection except the protected
right to bring in their sugar from
their foreign holdings to compete
with the American grower and
have always been able TO carry
their point because they were al
ways among the chosen ones to
carry the complaints Of the grow
err to Congress and were able to
have the true growers demand
smothered in the committee room.
Organize your industry Mr.. Far
mer and it viii not take You long
to discover that the Democratic
party through its acts in Congress
have done more to put money in
your pocket, made your credit
more stable than eyer was done
BY the Republicans. Whyf be
cause the Republicans ias to their
leaders, were born exploiters and
arc vet exploiters in the interest Of
their Republican friends such as
Wall Street.
The Democratic Party is being
blamed for the rice and cotton
never was anything
farther from the truth than this,
for the Democratic Congress in
stituted the Federal Reserve Bank
ing Law that enabled the farmer
to get credit to the extent Of ~
per cent. Of One Billion Eight
Hundred Million Dollars this all
in excess of what the farmer could
have gotten IL there had been no
Federal Reserve Banking Law;
the big reason why there is a
in credits and eurtailing
of the advancing Of money to mar
ket the crops is because a Republi-l
can Senate refused to pass
further strengthening Act to the
Federal Reserve Law (again show
ing how much they think Of their
farmer friends.)
