This country has taxed the Eastern and the Southern farmers to build and open up great lines of railway in the far West. Having imposed this burden it has invited the millions from beyond the seas to go out to the West and settle. and has given them farms. The railways. built as a tax upon Eastern and Southern farmers. have carried these immigrants to those lands. And then for long years we gave the agriculturists of the West the advantage of cheaper freights. whereby they. might compete with and outsell those who had been taxed to give them this chance for competition. One of the results of this policy has been to bring us perhaps a great excess of agricultural productions. until today. when we talk about the burning of corn. we find the bottom trouble is that we have more bushels of corn and wheat than we have stomachs or mouths.
