This farming class of business men Is now given adequate reward for their toil by day and through Rpring and summer. It now can, in fact already has, paid 08 mortgages and started checking account with the country banks.

The farmer could now afford (if he wanted to) to change from the corncob pipe to a real Havana cigar, and dress every bit as stylishly as ths business man in the city, pay as high fees to his doctor and hia lawyer, and just as much rent for tbe pew In church. His wife could dress in autins, silks and laces, just like the city business mans wife, and hire a servant girl to do housw work that in Democratic times shs herself had to do. He could afford to have his daughter wear clothes that would make her look just as attractive as ths bankers daughter in the city, and study music, art, French, etc., that Vould make her just as much at home in ths most accomplished society. He could afford to send his son to college where bs could get an education that might make hies some day a railroad or bank president, or even President of the United States.
