Farmers have chance to observe the
benefits OF o protective tariff this fall in
the way it operates to secure to them the
great home market for their apples. The
apple crop Of Canada is said to be much
larger than last year and large surplus
will have to be exported. Were it not for
the duty of 25 cents bushel imposed upon
these Canadian apples by the Mckinley
law they would be brought into the home
market to be sold in competition with the
fruit raised by our own farmers. Cana
dian apples were admitted free under the
old tariff and the Democratic Mills bill pro.
posed to keep them free.
