But. sir. when we built them up. instead of removing the burdens from their shoulders we find that when these interests had been fostered and strengthened and grown great by the protection of the Government. and had become rich and powerful. they then caught the farming and other kindred interests by the throat. I had a letter from a farmer a short while ago in which he told me that threequarters of the farms in his township were under mortgage to insurance and other loan agencies all over the country. and there was scarcely a farmer in the township who could pay. and that unless they could get extension there would be a foreclosure of all their titles. Now. when the gentleman talks about the farmers who ship their grain and the product of their toil to foreign countries and to foreign nationstheir surplusthat which absolutely settles the price in this country beyond question. where it comes into competition with the pauper labor of the globe. then. I say. it is time for us to begin to think that we have protected the manufacturers long enough. and that it is time for us to turn the legislative thought to the perfection of some system of legislation which will just a little benefit the farmers of this country.
