We can and must control the amount of the crop that moves to market. In the past. our exportations have never averaged more than 15 percent of the whole crop. This 15 percent which is sold in foreign markets. in the open market. . in the world market. in competition with the peasant labor of Europe. in competition with the peasant labor of Russia. in competition with the peon and mexicano labor of South America. in competition with the coolie labor of China. India. and Japan. in conpetition with the bushwhacker labor of Australia. not only determines the price of that part of the farm commodity sold in those foreign markets. but it fixes as well the price of all that proportion of the same commodity that is consumed in the United States of America. Thus the farmers. being forced to follow such an inconsistent and sophistical policy. has caused their staples to topple and decline in value. has caused their morale to descend and gravitate to the low level of the foreign labor heretofore mentioned. and is responsible for the downfall and subversion of the basic industry. agriculture. in this. the most productive country the sun has ever shone upon.
