There will be some opposition to the
increase of duty asked upon farm
products, particularly upon hides, and
we said to the committee, elf you will
make leather and manufactures of
leather free, we will ask no duty upon
hides. If leather and Its manufactures
are protected, we want equal protection
upon hides.
The duty upon sugar will be reduced 40
or 80 per cent, or it will be made free
and bounty paid to American pro-
ducers. Farmers should at once inform
their representatives as to their wishes
upon this point. as there is quite divi-
sion among members of congress on the
subject. Jute will be made free, and
the duty will be removed OF reduced upon
cotton bagging. Sisal and manila will
probably be put on the free list, and
binder Irvine will be free or the duty will
be reduced. Some changes will be made
in the wool schedule, which will prevent
fraud at the port of entry. The COM
mittee also went before the house COM
mittee on agriculture and urged the
passage of pure food bills, the bills to
prevent gambling in farm produce, the
formation Of trusts, and urged legisla-
ton to protect the innocent pur-
chaser of patented articles. We
have also urged the department of labor
to assist us in securing reduction of the
tare on cotton.
The above is synopsis of what the
legislative committee has done, and rep
resents anxious and arduous labor upon
our part. We now submit this brief re-
port for your examination and consider
alton. We trust that our action Will
meet with your approval, and that you
will at once write your congressman and
senators indorsing what we have asked
and urging speedy action. We hope ali
will help us.
There is no political question involved
in what we ask for farmers in regard to
tariff legislation; 1t simply means that
we want the same policy pursued towards
US that is adopted for others. We can con-
sistently ask this and still remain free
to support any policy in future cam
paigns which best aocords with our
opinions. 1t will be well also for you to
draft petitions asking for these measures,
procure signatures and forward TO your
member of congress. In conclusion, We
desire to thank all those who have in
good faith responded to our calls for as
sistance, and hope that we may continue
to cooperate for the protection and pro-
motion ST the interests of the farmers.
