Why should we make agriculture and labor the goat? Are not our farmers to be preferred to the landed barons of South America and other nations? Are not our laboring people to be preferred to the peon labor of South America or the coolie of China or Japan? Are not our people as a whole to be preferred to a few international bankers and manufacturers? We have heard a great deal about logrolling. but I prefer that the Members of Congress representing the people of different sections of our countrydifferent industriesroll logs in order to get justice for all sections and for all industries in the making of a tariff law than to have the Secretary of State. who believes that it is necessary to preserve Christianity and peace. sell our farmer and laborer in foreign market places.
