be to you that here was matter Of 1918
900 on potatoes alone, which the land
monopoli>ts OF one single State alone
in one year from the poor potato con-
sumers OF the country, by the aid of a
protective tariff, making calculations
upon the tota! production OF potatoes
in the whole country, stated at o.
1S3 900 bushels, ycu could demon
strate that the unfortunate eaters Of
potatoes in the land were ferced cut
of the enormous sum Of 524, 445 0JU
per annum. You could also estimate,
upon the same principle which you so
cleverIy applet to coal, the tax paid
to the gr@sPing farming ..onopo!v, I'M
der protective tariff, on every bush
el Of corn, barrel ct flower, etc, and
then yon could point your argument
pleasantly by seizing upon Mr.. Alex
an,lcr, or some other cntcrprisinr
farmer Of your State, and hold him up
before your readers as CHEF among the
rapaclous landowners who tatten on
the crumbs of the orphan and crust
OF the widow. Having done this, you
would have fabricated a capital free
trade argument, nor would it blunder
more egreglonsly than your editorial
acnouncing the coal monopoly
Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1870-01-27

The advocates Of Non Protective
Tariff never tire.ot urging that the duty
on articles o. import enhances the price
on those articles to the extent OF the
tariff. In answer to some structures
Of this character in which the Chicago
Tribune lately indulged respecting the
duty on and the price of, coal, Hon.
J. D. Morrell, Member of Congress
from Pennsylvania, turns the tables on
the Tribune in way that is not at all
encouraging TO a continuance OF that
sort of warfare. We commend the toll
lowing extract from Mr.. Morrell's let
ter to those of our farmers and others,
who think tariff enhances to the cx.
tent of the duty charged, the prices OF
the commodity on which the duty is
imposed.
Under the tariff now in force duties
are imposed not only on coal and
iron, as might be inferred from Your
assaults upon those Interests, but also
ON agricultural products, as, for in
stance, barley pays fifteen cents per
bushei; Indian corn, ten cents; wheat,
twenty cents; and each bushel OF I'M
ported potatoes pays 1w cn:y five cents
in gold.
Have you considered, sir, the effect
of tins enormous tax upon these i'm
