Party, and laXer tbe Free Silver party.
In 1899, that great aud able statesman
from Maine, Thomas B Reed, a, point­
ed a Committee of Eleven to draw
u measure fixing tbe standard of
value. In three weeks tbe committee
had agreed upon a draft of a bill, and
tbe Gold Standard Act of 1900 was tbe
result We have had no trouble with
that question since then. If such a
committee could settle so satisfactor­
ily that great aud vexlug question,
surely a similar committee of able leg
lslators specifically charged with the
task could agree upou an agricultural
relief plan which would be equally
satisfactory.
The solution will be found, and
found promptly.
Our party has
pledged itself to the development and
enactment of measures which will
place the agricultural interests of the
United States on a basis of economic
equality with other Industries, to In­
sure its prosperity aud success.
Philosophy of Farming
Encouragement of Agriculture al-
ways has been a Republican doctrine.
It Is a necessary part of our philos­
ophy of government. Agriculture Is
the basic industry of tbe country and
in the very nature of things will ever
be so. Whatever Is to the detriment
of the farmer is, eventually, to tbe
detriment of all our citizens: bis wel­
fare and prosperity are inevitably re­
flected in tbe welfare and prosperity
of the wbole nation.
Many plans for the encouragement
of Agriculture have been proposed,
and many have been given effect by
our party. In the course of my pollt-
leal life every oue which in my opiu-
Ion promised an appreciable measure
of sound relief has bad my wbole
hearted aud active support.
Of recent years, two farm measures
have been Introduced by me In tbe
Senate. Two Democrat members of
the House joined lu their preparaton
and Introduction.
The first was
known as tbe Curtls-Aswell Bill. It
created au Interstate Farm Marketing
Association. Its purpose was to pro­
mote and stimulate the orderly flow
of agricultural commodities In com­
