The Farmer and the Tariff.

Gen. K. Stebbins, of Detroit, Mich:
Free traders charge the protective
tariff system with robbing the farm
ers to make the manufacturers rich.
To this the fit answer is, that where
manufactures are greatest farmers do
best, soil being anywhere near equal.
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan may
be called manufacturing aud farm
ing states, and their leading crops
in 1880 were valued at $3.50 per
acre. Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota
may be called three farming states,
with fewer manufactures, and their
leading crops were valued lin Of
fetal rel orts) at 9.62 per acre. Plant
factories near the farms of these
three last-named states and this
great difference would almost Who'll
ly disappear. Free TT lie will not
put factories there. England wants
free trade that she may make goods
for us. She says so, and few years
ago, at a Golden club meeting, it
was stated that over million free
trade tracts had been sent over here
to convert us.
The farmers axe, hoe, shovel,
reaper, and mower are of home
make-the best and cheapest, quality
considered, in the world, and sold
all over the world, competing with
foreign implements. Every yard of
cloth the farmer buys is cheaper
than in England. Best of all his
home market grows as home indus
tries increase.
When our civil war ended slavery
and free trade went down together
freedom and protection to home
industry taking their places, the
products of the farm as we'll as the
factory being protected. We are
not free from faults and mistakes, but
our last twenty-five years have been
our best, for farmers as well as for
others.
