FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.


Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The statement that the Ways and
Means Committee has definitely decided
to increase the duty on barley, and to
take eggs from the free list has afforded
occasion to the free traders for ridicule.
They think this is only a pretense to
gain the favor of the agricultural inter
ests, and point to the duties on "every
thing the farmer has to buy" in justif-
cation of their contention that is being
taxed to death" Good care is taken
not to mention the numerous products Of
the farm, the dairy and the orchard now
protected by the tariff, such as live ami
mails, beef and pork, hams and bacon,
extract of meat, cheese, butter, lard,
wheat, rye and barley, malt, corn, oats,
cornmeal, oatmeal, rye flour, wheat flour,
rice, hay, honey, hops, condensed milk,
potatoes and various kinds of fruits.
The present rate of duty on barley is 10
cents bushel, and it is proposed to in
crease it to Is cents. Last year 10000
600 bushels of foreign barley came into
the country, chiefly from Canada, and
this increase in rates would probably
afford the needed protection. As to
eggs, no duty is now imposed, and it is
estimated that no less than 100000
dozen were imported last year. The
amount of the duty, cents dozen,
may appear insignificant, but it must be
taken into account that the value of a
dozen of eggs is not very great.
The motive of the free traders in try
ing to convince the farmers that they are
being unjustly or illiberally treated is
easily perceived. 1t has always been as.
sumed by the enemies of protection that
if the farmers did not vote with them
they should do so, and that it was only
necessary to "educate" them in true
economic science to secure their support.
They find the farmers, however, as a
class entirely too practical and level
headed to be deceived by their sOphis-
tries, and they may just as well make up
their minds that if they cannot secure
the farmer vote through argument they
will not obtain it by misrepresentation or
ridicule. The average farmer has the
capacity to discover in which direction
his interests lie just as have the average
manufacturer or wage-earner. He
knows, too, what purely revenue tariff
would do for the country, and he wants
none of it.
