Agriculture can not longer endure the existing inequality. whereby its products are worth only 50 cents on the dollar in exchange for products of industry. Mr. President. agriculture must have equality with industry. Either we must raise agriculture to the level of industry. or we must bring industry down to the level of agriculture by erasing from the statute books the special tariff privileges of industry. the special immigration laws for labor. the pricefixing mechanism for railroads and for banks in the Federal reserve act. and all other special privileges whereby industry. commerce. and labor are given special advantages. I do not think we want that to happen. Far better to bring agriculture up to a prosperous level.
