rich men of the country. When the
time came that the farmers and labor

product, whether the product be brain

ance. They would have been inhuman
in not doing so. To live in the country
and not have Ford or an automobile
could only be expected under the
times that the farmer could not get
hold of any money. To live In town
and not have stylish suit of clothes,
not dress your wife and daughter in
furs in summer and lightly as pos
sible in winter, would only be possible
in times when money was not to be
obtained in any quantity by laboring
people. 1t may be that some farmers
and laboring people have gone to the
extremes and are wastefully spending
money for unnecessary luxuries but
the percentage is not large enough for
rich men and their mouthpieces to
damn the farmers and laboring people
as classes.
