The Products of the Soil Should

Argninnet of Congressman Morey Before
the House Committee on Agriculture.
Then tlie Hi-.rd-Worklng Tiller of the
Soil West! Xo Conger lie at the Mercy
of tlie Unscrupulous Speculator.
Washi.nutdN, Aug. HJrgnffienV 21. —Represeuta-
y mo.rn> an before
the committee oft agriculture in favor
of a National standard for American
grains, which was ordered printed by
the committee. Among other thing s
Mr. Morvy said:
•“It is the great office of tile farmer to
furnish the food supply of the world.
How can we best enable the American
farmers to supply our people? Upon
what condition can the consumer get
the best bread, and the fanner the most
certain and adequate reward for his
labor and liis toil ? Many panaceas are
offered; all kinds of chimerical schemes
are invented and presented to the farm¬
er aa a care for all the ills he has fallen
heir to.
“But, Mr. Chairman, in my opinion,
one of the most beneficient things that
congress can do for the farmer will be
to elevate enact the legislation such as 6M1 tend to
standard of the products of
the soil; such as will encourage the
and raising Will of better wheat, corn and oats,
protect the same from being
adulterated and degraded before it
reaches those who buy it for bread. If
congress, bv a law, helps to bring about
this beneficent result, will *Rcnr«
purer food to the people, which is their
right, reward and to the farmer a surer and
better for his labor, which is his
due.
“From the nature of his occupation,
the farmer is isolated and somewhat re¬
moved from his fellows, each operating
independently. The product of his
farm is in each case limited in quantity,
and forms the smallest part or the ag¬
gregate production, and it only becomes
after commercially it a part of that aggregate
passes from his possession into
the hands of the middle men.
“Here, the good and the bad, the
clean and the filthy, the sound and the
unsound grain are assembled together,
and the result is that local and specu¬
lative interests deteriorate and degrade
the products of our American fanner,
with injury to both consumer and pro¬
ducer. Thoughtful and experienced
men have given this subject long,
patient and patriotic consideration, and
the result of the best thought is that a
N ational standard of classification an d
best means of food furtfter**imm^6ig“ tfee
quality protection of our of those produces, ana the
best who raise
are controlled by the local and specu¬
lative Interests.
“This idea has been formulated in a
number of bills now pending before this
committee, and without apjjfearing as
the advocate of any particular bill, I am
here to contend for the principle involv¬
ing the interest of a great industry on
whose development the prosperity of
all others depend.
“I moat respectfully submit that in
snch my judgment should the apply provisions of any
law to interstate com¬
merce, and so are within the constitu¬
tional power of congress ‘to regulate
commerce among the several states.’
“It should make it the duty of the sec¬
retary of agriculture to provide the
standard, classification and to determine and fix the
and grading of wheat,
corn, rye, oata and barley. The same
should be a inn! ter of permanent record
in the agricultural department, and
public and the notice thereof should should be given,
same be known aa the
‘National standard’ or ‘American stand¬
ard.’
“This record should be open to every¬
body, so that any person could have a
copy thereof for merely a nominal fee.
Every know farmer in the laud should be able
to from public notice the classifi¬
cation and grade of the crop which he
has standard raised, the according to the highest
the United In States. land, the standard of

The tendency of such a law will
be to give a higher standard to the
cereals of our country; to give perma¬
nency and stability to grades and classi¬
fications oflEe same, anff oventoairy to
give Americ better grains credit at home and reputation' and to

elevated; the commercial value of farm
products will be more uniform and cer¬
tain, and so agriculture will become
m°ra secure in its proper place among
the great industries and just rewards

labor.
“Mr. Chairman, I thank yon and your
committee for the courtesy of this hear¬
ing. I solicit your most earnest and
careful consideration of this most im¬
clearly portant question, and I trust yon will

If I am correctly Informed, old

nothing then to arbitrate, so long as

The interests of the pnblic, tbe
of the owners of th# aompany you
sent, and the rights of men to
for self-protection are all involved in
contest. The policy *f the order of
Knights ot Labor is to work peacefully
the line of educational and legislative
form. It ia not ths policy of the
tion, uo matter what its enemies may
to enter hastily upon strikes. Ths
ent strike may be pointed to In refutation
of that last anserti*a, but, until an
vestigation into the cause or causes
had, that must remain a disputed
tion, while the hundreds of cases
have been peacefully and quietly
through the intervention of the
of Labor, although not heralded

ended in strikes, prove that our aim Is
avoid strikes, rather than to
them. The interests of the pnblic
quire that freight and passenger
■honld work smoothly. The interests
the company require exactly the
thing, and, in addition, that each
prove remunerative. The Interests of
working people are th* same as ths others,

a right to question why they were dis¬

a railroad director, 1 believe. He spoke
truly, for liberty is far dearer to tbe
laborer, and that Is what he struggles for;
that ft what Is denied him when he is dis¬
