It is only natural that those that are especially aided by laws enacted in their favor will forge to the front and those that are not able to get legislation that will be helpful to them will have to drop back. At the present time we have our high protective laws which allow the big interests to receive higher than fair prices for their products. Labor has been able to have restricted immigration laws passed. and I feel it is right that they should. which has enabled labor to ask higher prices than labor receives in any other country on the globe. but our poor farmers. who a few years ggo were asked to produce all they possibly could. are today producing a surplus which must be sold. and the trouble Is that the surplus must be sold on the world market. and the price the surplus brings determines the price of everything lie has to sell. The facts are. gentlemen. as has been said by some one: lie sells in an unprotected market In competition with Russian peasants and Argentine peons and buys in the most highly protected market in the world. With these conditions confronting the farmer of our country is it any wonder that he is facing such desperate conditions today?
