The Tariff on Farm Products

Free-trade writers and orators hasten
to assure the farmer that no possible
benefit can result to him from protec-
tive tariff In furtherance of this free
trade dogma. every vote dominated BY
the party committed 10 tariff reduction
was in the last congress invariably rccor
ded in opposition to every proposed in
crease Of duty on farm products They
were rs invariably recorded in favor OF
reduction Of such duties whenever occa-
sion was offered
But Protection does benefit farmers
equally with any other class Of citizens,
and fortunately the majority of them
realize the fact and turn a deaf ear to
the specous pleas of those who are lab
oring for a change in the national policy.
Even if it should be admitted that prices
of agricultural products are not perma-
nently enhanced as result of tariff rro
lection, it would BY no means follow
that such protection is not beneficial
in some instances absolutely necessary
to the success of those who cultivate the
soil for living. The farmer needs a
steady and accessible market as well as
fair prices for his products. And while
thesg would not be insured without the
/ system Of protection extended to those
manufactures by which consumers are
attracted and enabled to become liberal
/ purchasers, neither would it he possible
without an adequate barrier against
cereals and other exportable products
in the hands of foreign farmers.
When wheat or barley or potatoes are
/ dull of sale. il may be that Canadian
/ farmers will be in position 20 concede
more in price than can oe afforded by
those who grow such crops this side the
/ line Then it is of prime importance tc
/ the citizen farmer to know that the com.
petitor who would thus cut him out
from market must first equalize theil
respective conditions by some contribu
tion to our national exehequer Though
this may not increase the market prict
at which sale can be effected, it yer,
certainly prevents reduction in prices
and gives the privilege Of making th,
sale to the citizen farmer whom it wa
intended to benefit
The full effect OF thus giving either
farmers the first chance in United State
markets seems to be much more vivid,
appreciated BY the farmers of Canad'

hard Of hesri~g and at times complained OF
pains in the head. He kept getting worse all
the time no matter what we did for him he
got no better. As he grew older he grew
worse. His head was stopped up and from
trying to free his npstrils, which at times
were completely closed, they became very sors.
He had great difficulty TO breathe snd awful
pains ia the mead and constantly complained
OF fsevere hea iaches. At night he could not
sleep for he WAS pitching and tossing the
whole night long, and many a night he had
kept his father, grandmother aud myself
awake for we thought he would not live until
morning. He would lie in his bed with his
mouth wide open gasping for breath As he
could not breathe through his nostrils as
they were completely closed.
I'm the morning he would complain OF
tired feeling aud would do nothing but cough
