And yet the farmers of the country, tlmt contrihutu more to Its pormnuent prosperity thun all other classes combined, have, the smallest amount of consideration In tlio matter of congressional appropriations. In all the history of the past legisla tion of the couutry but few effort have been made to equalize the bone tits of "ongrnsslonnl appropriations. Until tlio rural mall routes were extnu llshed citizen living In the country rarely received direct benefits from the money expended by the genera I i;ov- ernment except that for the agricultur al department. The roinmerco or tlio 'country felt the oxulieraneo of fresh and lusty life and visor from the lnv ' provemoiit of the rivers and harhors.
