My answer to that question is this: Hundreds and thousands of people in this country. many of them emigrants. go out into the agricultural sections of the West. upon the prairies. and take up land. Some of them do not carry anything with them but an alimentary canal and an appetite. and what do they do? They begin farming operations. Having no means. they look around for somebody to lend them money. Pretty soon. perhaps. some Eastern man with capital steps in and loans them the money they require. Prosperity at once begins. They rapidly pay off the mortgages on their farnis. for the statistics show that these mortgages. under the wise protective policy of the Republican party as embodied in the McKinley bill. were rapidly being discharged.
