We created the Interstate Commerce Commission. a Government agency that fixes the price of transportation. and enacted the EsehCummins law for the benefit of the railroad companies. thus enabling them to keep the rates high enough to give them a reasonable return. We created a Federal Reserve Board that fixes the price of credits. and the Federal reserve banks that protect the banking interests in times of distress. Labor has its immigration law that protects it from outside competition. and the Adamson Act that regulates its hours. while the great industries of the country have the FordneyMcCumber Tariff Act. which enables them to increase the price of their products above the world level. For six years the farmer has appealed to the Government for economic justice. but his appeal has been in vain. he has petitioned. but his petitions have been ignored. In a country that boasts of its wealth and power. its liberality and progress. its philanthropy and love for humanity. the gross injustice to the American farmer during the past seven years is a national shamne.
