Much is being said about thrift these days, and the need

WHERE DOES THE
FARMER COME IN?
(From the Minneapolis Tribune)
When ‘ T am a Jim” Wilaon, that
hard-headed son of Scotland, aaya any
thing about the American farmer, the
men of the soil are quite likely tu take
notice. He was 80 yeara old a month
or so ago. He began farming 56 years
ago.
Tie was in the cabinet of three
presidents -McKinley, Roosevelt and
l a f t —as secretary o f Agriculture. It
is fair to presume that one of hia years
has no ambition to get hack into the
harnesi of public life. It also ia fair
used American citizen when he de
clares that upon the farmers of this
country will fall the great burden of
paying the $60,000,000 Dill which Presi
dent Wilson and his servile congress
have passed along to the people with
the Adaraon law.
The former cabinet member says that
the farmer is willing to take his share
of any fair burden, hut adds that he
will get a good deal more than ia com
ing to him in the matter of bill paying
as a result of the operation of the
Adamson act. The railways will get
the *50.0000,00 from the shippers, he
says, and the farmers constitute a ma
jority of the shippers. The man who
tills the soil will go down in his pock
ets to help pay ten hours' wages for
eight hours' work for that fifth o’ the
railroad employes who are already re
ceiving much higher wages than tha
other four-fifths. He will work from
sunrise to sunset.
No eight hours’
limit for the farm er!
"T h e farmers.” said Mr. Wilson,
" a r e unorganised, unable to restrict
their labor to eight hours a day,obliged
to aell the produet of their labor at
prices fixed by tha ordinary influence
of supply and demand. It it entirely
antagonistic to their interests to have
a small group of men employed by the
railroads allowed to fix their pay for
carrying the product o f the country at
the < oat of the producer! and consum
er«."
To other classes besides the farmers
is coming home the true import of the
Adamson law and the manner of ila
enactment. The electorate is learning
that the measure doe* not test high in
human welfare ingredients, but that It
does test big in political ebieanery.
