taan they otherwise wouid pc then Is the
farmer vIt@ny Interested in maintaining
tariG protection upon ether products than
his own as well AS hIs own.
Only one answer 10 this argument has
ever been invented BY the free traders.
They affirm that prices OF agricultural prod
uct5 are hxed IN Liverpool, not here, and
ta1t 10 matter how high wages and earn
in g may be here The 2grsculturist can only
get Liverpool prices for what he has 70 sell.
That assertion Is uasound and absolutely
false. SAWS tac Cleveland Leader. Prices of
agricultural products are not fixed IN Liver
pool That city : the gram clearing house
oi Europe and prices are registered there.
But Liverpool dOcs not tx prices any more
shan the thermometer fixes the weather.
Liverpool does not even register the prices
of most agricultural products IL only
registers the prices of few staples. which
60 not constitute = fourth part Of what
American agricuitsrists produce. Prices
are hxed in Liverpool. A. everywhere else,
by supply and demand One Of the most
powerful Influences IN fixing the prices
registered az Liverpool is American con-
sumption. II tue 100000 American
workers. who are not agricUlturists. are
fully and proatably emPlOycd, they consume
nearly al that American agriculturists pro
duce. exports decrease, prices 20 up, the in
crease GOES into the pocket OF the American
fl-uer, and Liverpool registers the amount
thereof n The 100000 American con-
sumers are BOT fully and prohtablv en-
p.oyed. hoy consume less. exports Increase,
prices god0yn. and the agTic1lturlst suffers,
and Liverpool REGISTERS the amount OF ms
loss. o. part Of -

q direct and dangerous blow at American
farmers.
