The farmer is the creator
of nearly all the wealth of our land,
and the welfare of all other voca-
tions is largely dependent upon j
his prosperity. When the farmer!
is prosperous the manufacturerj
has the best market for his wares,
the merchant collects his debts,
the educator, the minister, the law-
yer, the physician, and the follow-
ers of all other vocations are well
paid.
The farmers only ask a repeal
of Republican laws which have
reduced the price erf farm products ;
tolessthan the cost of production. 1
They ask a repeal of the bank leg-
islation, which for thirty years has
denied to farmers the right to use
their lands as a basis of credit,
and which, together with other
adverse laws, has reduced farm
lands to one-tenth their value when
the laws were equal, just aud
Democratic. [Applause.]
They denounce this prohibitory
ten per cent tax upon issues of
banks, other than national banks,
as the main prop, pillar and found-
ation of the exclusive aud most
obnoxious features of the national
bank system.
The history of our eouutry shows
that the Democratic party has al-
ways been the farmer’s friend, and
is the only party which has hot
done the farmer the grossest
wrong and injustice.

News ou this occasion can afford

which attaches to the pressing
demands for retrenchment of ex

This would enable us to pay
