For the Evening Capital.
The Tariff and the Farmer.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I frequently listen
to the talk of political parrots and
am much amused by their ignorance
of the tariff operations. They COM
plain that the prices of the clothes
they wear, the blankets they sleep
under, the plows they use in cnltiva-
tiny their crops and SO on, are
largely increased by the operation
of the tariff; because they say, the
charges on imported goods are adj
ded to the cost Of like domestic
goods to the consumer. This is the
doctrine laid down by President
Cleveland, and they receive it as the
gospel. Admitting Mr.. Cleyeland's
theory to be correct Though it is
not so, what has the farmer to COM
plain of? | find in official docu-
ments that duty of ten cents a
bushel is imposed on corn imported
from abroad, and that there
are 1886, 176, 900, bushels raised
and sold in this country; and APP
plying the Cleveland rule, the
American farmers gain by a tariff
of 10 cents bushel $l93,617,600
more than they would receive for
their crop if we had free trade
Wheat is protected by tariff of 20
cents bushel. By the same rule
the farmers are enriched ST., 422,
900. Rye is protected 10 cents;
Oats 10 cents; Potatoes Is cents per
bushel; Hay $500 ton; Tobacco
IS cents per pound, and so on for
almost every article farmers raise
amounting in the total for the year
1887, to $1,203, 954, 994. If the
Cleveland rule is correct the farmers
of the United States were protected
last year to an amount exceeding a
billion of dollars by the present tar
if. Do the farmers of Maryland
want free trade by which they would
lose this amount of protection? /
hardly think so, and am sorry to
find my brother farmers indulging
in nonsical talk about taxed cloth
ing, taxed blankets, and taxed far
ming implements.
Had | the time and you the space
in your paper, l could show my
brother farmers, that the tax or
tariff on nearly all classes of domes.
tic goods reduce instead of increase
the prices.
