Nor should the prosperity of agriculture depend upon a short crop either at home or abroad which compels a satisfactory world price. The home price should be determined by the cost of production. plus a reasonable profit. just as is done in the case of manufacture. aiid. generally speaking. the law of supply and demand will do this provided we can have a system of orderly marketing and the surplus. if any. removed from competition with the home market. This is just what we are doing for the wage earner and for manufacture under our labor and immigration laws and the protective tariff. These laws are for the express purpose of giving our home labor and our home manufacture an advantage in the home market a preferential market. We recognize this and believe in it. for the American home market is the best market in all the world.
