can RlV6 LLlcu1s <AAAO III IAO Hnoo' unfortunately, the philosophy has had too large a hand in making our national economic policies. That school of thought left Washington on March 4, 1883.
 "The farmers of the nation are good example of what govern ment can do, not only in direct help but in providing security for the future. From a state of collapse in 1882, agriculture has not only been brought back to life but has received the encouragement of gov- ernment which enables it to face the future with confidence. Is there among the many farmers in this audience. A single one who would want to go back to the uncoopera- 1 tive formula - the rugged indivi- dualism, the economic freedom of 1882?
 Look to Safe Future
 Don't you and your wife and your children look forward to a safer, better future today than you did three and a half short years ago? have used farming as an illustration of greater security be- cause Kansas isa great farming state. You know, however, that the mining areas. and the livestock areas and the industrial areas of the country are likewise receiving their share of a greater security every part of the nation shares it together.
 "Last April in New York dared to talk farming to New York city audience. I told them that one of the best things that had come out of these three years was the reah- ration by city dwellerS that they could not be prosperous unti lthe farmer was also prosperous.

 "The people who talk about these class distinctions are the very ones who are encouraging class antag- onism. For they tell one story in the east and another story in the west; one story in the city and another story on the farm. That is not my way and never will be my way.
 Great National Crisis
 we are coming through great national crisis with flying colors. We have not lost our self respect. We have not changed our form of government. We have a net nation al debt which though greater in dollars is actually less in proportion to the income of the nation and in proportion to the wealth of the na- tion than the national debt was or, March 4, 1893.
 Prom the point of view of na- tional income and national wealth we are better able to bear our, debt now than we were then. And with in a year or two with income in- creasing and expenditures declining, v. shall be able to balance the budget and start paying down on the debt.
 Final Form of Security
 "There is one final form of secur- ity on which I have not yet touch- ed. In addition to security at home and in the home, we have sought f, :. security from war with other nations. We have not been content merely to talk about peace, we have
