Toilette, in a signed article in his
magazine here today, declared the
farmers ARE not the sole, or even
the principal benef1ciaries Of the ad-
vances,"
All the propagandists for big bust
ness may be gullible enough to be-
lieve that the farmer Is actually wal
lowing in luxury as a result Of the
temporary advance in farm prices, -
he said, but the bitter experiences
Of recent years have taught the
American farmer something. He has
the measure of politicians who are
friends Of the farmers before cleo
ton and tools Of monopoly while in
office.
Freight Rates Burden
He knows that freight rates are
today so burdensome and excessive
that in many sections certain crops
cannot be transported TO market
without loss.
He knows that President Coolidge
has used every device at his com
mand to prevent the progressives
from amending the inquitous Esch-
Cummins law and that the Demo-
cratic candidate, recently resigned
from the board Of directors Of an
Eastern railroad has neither
sympathy nor understanding for the
producing and consuming millions
who are crying for rate relief.
