They are determined the laborer and the farmer and the private citizen shall not continue their battle for a living price for their labor and for the products of the farm and for a square deal in the economic scheme of the world. The men who are doing the plundering are striving to lead those whom they have robbed of all their earthly possessions to feel that some of their real friends have caused their troubles. that the depression was caused by more or less minor agencies and that the whole awful situation will be cured by some slight adjustments of tariff rates. some insignificant change of a governmental policy. or some new wasplike plan which is bigger In the eyes of the originator and a few metoo followers when first hatched than ever again in the eyes of themselves or anyone else. Taxes. tariff rates. banking. transportation. immigration. currency. bureaus. commissions. and so forth and so on. present very. very vital problems. but to my mind none of these. nor all of these. are near so important to all our people as the question of economic liberty for the farmers and workers whose prosperity and happiness are the foundation of everybodys success and of our national greatness. If I knew this was the last utterance I was to ever make on earth for the farmers and people of my Nation. I would declare with all my being that their every other problem sinks into insignificance as compared with the mighty task of protecting the farmers and the common run of men from those who claim to be their friends and yet who rob them both when they sell and when they buy and who mislead them at every opportunity.
