Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Inoculation a Preventive of Swine Plague: With the Demonstration That the Administration of the Agricultural Department in a Public Scandal
It is to demonstrate this fact, to show the people of the United States that their National Agricultural Department has, from the beginning, taken a course unjustified by common decency and unsanctioned by every principle of manly honor, and contrary to the constitution of the United States, that the writing and publication of this work has been undertaken by the writer, at his own expense, and not paid for out of the funds of thb Evperiment Station as intimated regarding other pub lications of the same nature in the letter to Senator Paddock of Ne braska from Mr. Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture. To that letter and the authorized publication of an infamous bulletin, known as Farm ers' Bulletin No. The public must charge the in?iction of this work upon it. No other course was left open to me. If our work is correct in its general direction; if it promises direct and indirect benefits to the people of the United States and even the inhabitants of the world at large, then my course is justifiable and will be so consid ered in time. If on the other side the course pursued by the Depart ment of Agriculture is justified by the facts, then the publication of this work is unwarranted and will be so considered. The people must pass the verdict! Without bias, with a determined desire to present nothing but facts which are demonstrable of proof, and with that proof, I have honestly endeavored to present both sides of the question and studiously tried to show them in their full light. In order to do this, it has been necessary to introduce considerable material of an historical-personal nature, but this was called out by the personal at tacks on the writer in the letters of Mr. Rusk to Senator Paddock, and to the chancellor of the University, which, at the expense of the people, were made public documents and sent broadcast over the land, and that to Senator Paddock in some manner found its way even to many laboratories in Europe.
