It Is also the most important, not only in the volume of Its production but also In the volume of its purchases. It is therefore the most important single economic factor . In all of our plans for legislating to aid the prosperity, welfare and happiness of our people. I shall not consume any space by drawing a comparison between the value of your work and that of any other class. Yours Is, of course, fundamental and in so far as you prosper, the rest of ss are likewise going to prosper and when you suffer adversity, the rest of us will also suffer the same adversity. It may be that all of us will not enjoy our prosperity or suffer out adversity at exactly the same : fimm you have had months in which your prices were too low compared Is the prices of the retailer and of labor, but again the pendulum It . swinging and the prices of your products are rapidly adjusting thaia.' selves to the true level. This rebound from the reaction may cirQ farm produce prices a little above what thsy normally would be bsl If so It will be followed by another slump a little too low. It usually takes a few swings of the pendulum before the proper equilibrium Is established, but the violence of the fluctuations is lessened with eaeh swing. Any farmer who made the mistake of thinking the abnormal tiSMK ware going to last forever has of course paid the penalty. No mM» would be human if he were not genuinely sorry to see him or asy- ' other man suffer adversity, but there is no way possible ia whlcfe •J-M m moment, but we will certainly all hfcve almost exactly the same period ^legislation can protect men against mistakes of judgment. and the same degree of opportunity or lack of the same, Liverpool World Wheat Market. Tour products are sold on the market of the world. For Instance, we Americans, and particularly those of us who live in the northern part of Illinois, like to think that Chicago is the wheat market of the world, but as a matter of fact, it is only an outp< >t. The real wheat market of the world is in Liverpool and the Chicago market naturally goes up or down following and reflecting the consensus of opinion of the wheat buyers and. sellers in the world market at LiverpooL It' Is true, however, that in the past men have been able to temporarily enhance the price of wheat by an artificial.corner o~ they may depress It temporarily by some artificial means, but In the long run the pricc at Liverpool determines. , As is naturally fitting the farmers as a class have a larger repre sentation in the Congress of the United States than any other one class and with the aid of many legislators from urban districts a very considerable amount of constructive legislation has been, enacted for them, as for instance the Farm Loan Act together with the addition to the amount originally allotted; the Act following the organization ©f agricultural producers; the one regarding future trading in grains to prevent as fsr as possible the temporary influences of artificial methods to affect the price; the so-called Packers Bill; the Federal aid to roads; and not the least of all, the Emerency Tariff Bill, which provides ample protection for the farmers while the rest of this country is waiting on the Senate to pass he Fordney Tariff Bill, which has now been before them almost dght months. This Emer gency Tariff Bill carries a protection almost solely for farm products. <%A11 the legislation In the world can not make the farmer or any other great class prosper when we, as a nation, or when any substantial number of other great nations have violated the great eco nomic laws or have been compelled to do so in self protection. The buying power not only of our people but of all the rest of the peopU of the world is absolutely essential to the prospnity of our nation and the world as a whole destroyed almost the entire productive power of the entire civilized world for four and oue-balf years and in addition to that drew heavily upon the accumulation coming from the productive power of the past. Until that is made good, the people of this world can not possibly .ive on the same scale which hey enjoyed hitherto and the people of this country can not | ossibly live on the g e n e r o u s s c a l e w h i c h w e h a v e e n j o y e d . . . . . . The re-adjusting of ourselves is not going to be the work of a life time but of a comparatively few years *nd already more than three and one-quarter years have rolled around since the armistice was signed and we are pretty well along in the work of re-adjusting. Selling your products on the market of the world you we" first feel the artificial and abnormal stimulus to prices furnished by is world war. I have before me this moment the prices of grains. logs cattle, horses, general farm products ~nd labor from 111! until |he present time The farmer had th« benefit of enhanced prices ilmost two years before lsbor began to participate in those benefits |nd there is a perfectly simple economic law governing this. Tow produce was sold on a world market, whereas the workman was eeD- -|hg his on a local market and the world market was nstussuy ijhead of the local market. . • ^ The manufacturers and wholesalers began to mlee #rt#u price of your products had begun to rise sad later Iks retsllets^ generally began to increase their prices. ' M, The working of this same economic law broaght tta prt--s m lour commodities down first and as always happens la f1 , Jf »n economic law, whenersr prioes have been violently--Iteted In, "i|ae direction they have a reaction toe fer Is tha etibm MnsMm M f [| Any manufacturer who misread the times and put all of his profits f and all the money he could borrow into additional factory buildings and machinery finds himself in exactly the same position that this farmer does who followed the same course; and the merchant wh# also misread the imes and who believed that he could load up witk a stock of goods at abnormal prices and who borrowed an enormous amount of money to pay for these goods now finds himself In serious financial difficulties. I will say this squarely to you farmers that f any man who has hiB farm paid for has been in better shape and is ^ still in better shape to go through with a period of depression than any other clasd of men in the world. You can live. The manufacturer ' ' or the merchant who finds his Investment in buildings and machinery or in stocks of merchandise must suffer a serious loss in keeping up ht| , organization and paying insurance, taxes and everything else that goes j to make up the overhead of a business whether It is profitable or not * I know that some of you heard me speak in September and OcMk J ber, 1914, when the political campaign of that yeur was on. In event that you do not remember, let me refresh your memory that at th^f * time I told every audience that I addressed that if the war lasted silt months the American people would prosper as no race had eve# 3 / • prospered under the shining sun I also urged every man wlthhg' j sound of my voice in every speech ihat I made in that campaign tjfc vV;? save his money during the period of prosperity wlfich must folio*. IK" and solely because I had business sense enough to know that an£, such violent disarrangement of the stability of prices must be foi-.-".^.'-. lowed by a reacticn and I made a further prediction at that samsf ^ * time that if we had sense enough to do the right thing In the period of re-adjustment, which must follow, we ought to have a generation* . and perhaps a century, of great prosperity. Two-thirds of this predhK; tion has been amply fulfilled, the other third just as surely will ba.. We are going to prosper again if we do the right things now. ^ Three things more must happen. The cost of transportation, of* ^ fuel and building materials must come down and I think you will sen * I theee three pretty well^djusted before this year is over. * »•• * I have no business or investments that are not directly affected, ?.,* for good or ill by the welfare or adversity of the great masses of th«£ people. The welfare of the farmers is absolutely the first requisit# • ,> to the welfare of all of our people. I hav* advocated every singl#. one of these measures to which I alluded and I am on terms of th#- - closest friendship with the great lesders among the representative* ^ of the farmer class in Congress. I discuss matters affecting thai . ,t farmers with them and almost invariably follow their judgment : |- such legislation. Occasionally they do ma the honor to ask ^ ** opinion about other things along the line which I have bean studying^ a life time. R Is the <W*ly way that legislation can be *nte!!is?st?f|? handled. No one man can know it all. * I; In all probability, before the expiration of the term of the C«||f; grn,, to be elected this fall we will be fairly well out of the perinj|r; -of reconstruction. •,• ••.
