There is another really large class of
articles which pays duty at the custom
house, and some of them at times largely i'm
puted which we pay no higher price for them
we should if no duty we're imposed. In such
cases sae duty is paid by the producer and
not by the consumer. For the foreign pro-
iucer could not sell his products in our mark
cts, unless the duty be reduced from the
price at what he sells This is the case in
the potato market at the present time. The
duty on imported potatoes sold in Boston New
York and other markets in the United States
raised in Canada, New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Prince Edward Island, England Ire
land, Scotland, or in any other foreign
country, have to pay 10 cts. per bushel
Duty which is deducted from the price for
which American potatoes are sold in our
markets, and hence is paid by the producer
abroad, and not by the consumer here.
There many farmers who seem to think
that tariff for protection is merely for the
benefit of mechanics, manufacturers, and
workers in the great towns and cities. They
do not seem to know that their labor in the
field and forests and upon the farms is pro-
tected and largely made remunerative by a
duty paid at the custom house on the imported
article of the same kind raised and produced
