The Hteel plow .blazed the way. It
increased the productivity of the earth
by making it jMimihle to plow d?-oi>er than
with the t, 'rude plow of earlier times.
S'ow.. comes the tractor. This means
that machine power will supplant muscle
power on rhe famn. It means that the

find other employment.
The economy is big. For the first two
years of his life the horse is a liability

The tractor will aiuk a plow at least
two inche* deeper into the noil than the
inoKt powerful team of horses can put
it. That means bigger crops, more freight
for the railroad*, more cargoes for ships,
more profit for the farmer, more busi

Greater than all else the establish

iUManM an end to the drudgery of the
farm and an end to the weakening of
the farm ? which is the basin of all in

to the city.
America has been the cradle of the
farm m<*<'hine. It has given to the world
the harvester, the rmi>er, the binder, the

Kt-i'sHiiiitii Fairfield of Iu<Hana thai "the
South'1, wa* turned over to the douij

constituency in the day* of ruc
tion," and making other alluvions nf an
e<|uii!ly unfrleiwfly nature against the
people of that ?M>tl6Q, Congressman *Ue
veiiHv>n of South Carolina characterised
such statements as beiug utterly un
iiecceK*ary and largely overdrawn and a
groai u|ijltltM99Qi Of the real facts.
"I was much impressed," Mr. Steven
son ?a id . "with Mime of the statements
made by Mr. Fairfield. He deplores the
static condition of the South im>] it ically
and from a business standpoint. That
static icondition possibly doe* not appeal
to him but certainly from a patriotic
standpoint it ought to appeal to people
who are loyal to the institution* of this
country and who are loyal to the people
who carry the enforcement of the law ax
their ri*?t>onsibility.
'"When lias there ever appeared a
headline in a newspaper allowing the
mailing out to thoae charged with the
maintenance of the diguily of the' law, '
bombs designed to destroy life and de- j
stn?y the ability of humanity to care for
itself, as emanating from any Houtheru
State?' And yet within the last few
weeks, within the coofines of the great
metropolis of this country, whose static
condition, I have no doubt, appeals to
the gentleman from Indiana, we have
seen bombs mailed to law abiding peo
ple in every section of this country, in
cluding a distinguished menwber of th'fc
house, who faithfully discharged his du
ties here and who was mailed a bomb
because, forsooth, he was attempting to
prevent the destruction of the pure and
static condition of our race in this coun
try by the prevention of undesirable im
migrants being in here.
"Now. the gentleman made another
statement and in this he is entirely, in
correct. He stated that the South was
turned over to the domrnence of an ir
responsible aud ignorant constituency in
the flays of the reconstruction. He has
misread hi* history again. It was turn
ed over to the dominence of the irrespon
sible and conscienceless carpetbaggers
who came from those States where condi
tions are not so static today and who
dominated the colored man and used him
as a tool with which to oppress and rob
those people who had any stake in this
government. It was not the ignorant
negro. It was the depraved and debased
'?arpetbagger who made the South sweat
blood for her stand in the war of the
sixties.
"One of them elected from my State
and the district which I represent upon
the floor of this house, acknowledged
that he sold a cadetship at Annapolis
for $'_!,< M >0 and one at West Point for
$'2,500. and was promptly expelled by
this house only to be re-elected by the
