It has organized and sustained these State and county associations for the promotion of agriculture and the mechanic arts. These immense gatherings of the people; this deep and enthusiastic interest; this splendid exhibition of the products of our soil and the skill of our artificers, are due to this principle. Now, the point to which I wish to call your attention is this : that the power of association is in favor of those who constitute the great mass of our farmers — the men of limited means..., the men who depend mainly upon their own labor and that of their sons for the cultivation of their farms. In respect to the division of estates, our policy is peculiar. In Rome, during the palmiest days 25 of the Republic, the amount of land owned by individuals was limited. But when she began to appropriate the wealth of other countries by her conquests and extortions, then these laws were abrogated. The result was that a few individuals monopolized the whole country. Slavery followed successful war, and, instead of the manly farmer, like Cincinnatus or Cato, slaves became the laborers.
