regulated by the home competition. but
you do pay the tax wber the raw material

brought INTO competition with IKE pro-
duct of other countries. We farmers are
perfectly willing that our products shall
enter into competition with our brother
! farmers in this country. but we are not
willing that they should be brought into
competition with other nations ON an
equal footing. With one hand the Mills
bill holds out an average reduction Of
to per cent.-thelr estlmate-on the pro
duets the farmer must buy, and with the
other it brushes him.
