What does the gentleman from Texas say to the proposition that the Government has already established a bureau herethe Interstate Commerce Commissionwhich fixes the price that the railroads shall receive for their product. that we have a bureau. the Tariff Commission. which at any rate seeks to control the price that the manufacturers shall receive for their products. that we have an immigration law nd an immigration department to protect. to a certain extent. the labor question for the labor interests of the country. and why does tie gentleman now object to a bureau wlich seeks at least to give the farmer a better market. not a fixed price but simply an eplarged and better market for farm products in this country? I will say to the gentleman I do not believe the interests of agriculture alre going to be advanced by increasing our ability to borrow more money. What agriculture needs to recover and stop the constant failures and bankruptcy proceedlings that are sweeping all over the richest agricultural portion of America is a better price for the products we have. which will enable us to pay the debts we have already made. and not ability to create further debts.
