world whether that labor walking in
boxes or crates Millions of factory employees

filling their stomachs with roughage and waiting for the fires
to be rebuilt in the factories The big thing that should in
terest farmer right market where buyers have
enough money pay him fair price for his products and
that market right here home Unless the farmers have
tariff bill passed which is based upon American valuation
there will the factories employment for
working man, and no market for the farmer
There great many things known to the middle west
