Show THE FARMER. We favor the vigorous prosecution of investigations and plans to render agriculture more profitable aud country coun-try life more healthful, comfortable and attractive, and we believe that this should be a dominant aim of tlie nation as well as of tlie states. In the federal reserve act of the last congress and the rural credits act of the present congress, the machinery has been created which will make credit available to the farmer con stantly and readily, and he has at last been put upon a footing of equality with the merchant and the manufaci urer in securing the capital necessan to carry on his enterprises. We favor continued liberal provision not only for the benefit of production but also for the study and solution oi problems of farm marketing am finance, and for the extension of ex isting agencies for Improving countrj life. |
