The Iowa Republicans, declare for
protection, provided 1t does not pro.
tect and foster its natural offspring
trusts. They also demand protection
for farmers equal to that given other
classes. This comes very close to
"free trade" Our agricultural pro-
ducts are exported and of course
q tariff would afford no protection
to the producer. The only way TO
give the farmers "equal" protection
would be 10 take the tariff off the i'm
ported articles they have to buy.
This would result 10 the abolition Of
