PROTECTION FOR THE FARMER.
The frantic efforts OF government off
ciaIs to escape the agricultural tempest
have been supplemented by their party
associates in congress-.
Let us examine their labors.
WHEAT.
The DUTY on wheat has been raised
from 20 cents per bushel under existing
law to 25 cents per bushel under the
house and senate bills.
This is done TO protect the American
farmer from foreign competition, when
we exported during the last fiscal year
46,4l4, l29 bushels of wheat and I'M
ported for seed ,9l6 bushels.
CORN.
The duty on corn is raised in the
house and senate bills from 10 cents in
the present law to l5 cents per bushel,
and yet we exported during the last
fiscal year 50, ,592 1929 bushels OF corn,
and imported Tor seed during the same
period = 1888 bushels. How is il posi-
BILE to protect the American iarmcr
against competition that does not exist
CORNMEAL.
OF cOrnmeal we exported during the
last fiscal year 3l2, ,lS6 barrels and i'm
ported daring the same time 39G bar
rels, but the farmers friends on The
other side of the chamber have raised
the duty from 10 to 30 cents per hnshCl
in order to relieve him from foreign
competition.
Bnt rye, old rye, puts the capsheaf on
this agricultural pyramid of fraud and
humbug. The American fai imcrs must
be protected at all hazards from the
foreign inundation of rye, and we de
mand to know why it has not been
done.
The duty OF 10 cents per bushel on
rye has not been increased, and yet we
exported during the last fiscal wear
only PSI 1852 bushels and imported lG
bushels.
If il was necessary TO increase the
duty on the 1896 barrels of imported
cornmeal in order to protect the cX-
porters OF 3l2.lS6 barrels, why not in
crease the duty on the IL bushels "I
imported rye to protect the exporters
OF 2S7 ,252 bushels?

moved 10 Ohio. Here she was married
to Mr.. Mccoy. They lived there for
few wears when they moved to Jay
county, Indiana. Here Mr.. Mccoy
entered piece of land and cleared
farm. The surrounding country was
then almost a wilderness. Although MIR.
Mccoy followed the occupation OF
farming he was very fond of hunting,

States, in which it is asserted that
"Since 1885 there has been percept.
