The farmer is convinced that with a little help in the way of laws and extension of credits that agriculture can work out a solution to the problem. He sees the railroads protected and encouraged at an enormous Government outlay. He sees industry protected by tariff rates and trade rules and practices. but not much for him. He finds labor protected from competition by the high wall of the immigration act. The farmer is not greatly opposed to this. but he Is sure that he has been slighted and almost entirely forgotten in the great scheme of things. The railways complain of high taxes and tell us that for every tick of your watch the railroads pay $11 in taxes.
