In Defense Of the Farmer.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch
Sir.--There Is so much being published in
the newspapers about stopping certain work

way to force man 10 leave the city and work
farmer wants 50 or IS per day labor? The
man who pays this is going % set his prices
on what THIS labor produces, including all
other costs plus his profit The farmer is
his famly.without this extra burden. and
before he will add any more to his present
risk. he Will work what he can and let tho
rest go.
noticed recently In n farm magazine some
advcr tisemcnts OF banking and trust comDa-
niles. that they have agricultural experts TO
advise the farmer. What does he want with
this ind OF help, when his horses are stand

crops?
Why should these compa MES pay trained
experts to advise the farmer? Are we wards

\ Strong Appeal to Labor

wv HlLE tho Democratic platform us n
w whole presents strong appeal to the
intelligence OF all classes OF voters as q

belongs in the pending caicraign, the plank
that deals with labor and industry Will

Spurned 1T Chicago the labor leaders
turned hopefully to the San Francisco con-
vention They found there leadership
thoroughly iubued with a realizing sense
OF the Justice of the cause which they
pleaded. Out of the sympathetic counselS
which followed was evolved the plank in
the platform OF Democratic undertaking
which constitutes the answer to labor's
hopes OF fair treatment by the government
in the future.
This plank rccites the things already ac-
complished in labors behalf through Dcr;o-
cratic effort, the concrete evidences of which
are written into law and find reflection i'll

hours and improved working conditions
