In only four products did imports ex-
coed exports These We're barley, hay,
potatoes and eggs, neither one Of which
can ever become "A product of general
interest to all farmers. Moreover. if it
can be shown that the tariff on these
products raises the price 20 our pro-
ducers, it must be remem bered that
many farmers are themselves buyers OF
some of these articles. This is espe-
ciaily true of potatoes, since the potatoes
grown in a more northern climate are
always best suited for planting or seed
IN this way the farmers in the south
use northern grown seed almost en-
tirely; and many northern farmers get
their seed potatoes from Canada
Eggs are a product in which only a
limited number of farmers along the
Canada border need fear conretitiou
Eggs can never become a subject OF
deep interest to the farmers; the bust
ness is too small an industry.
The imports of hay are too insignif-
cant to effect the prices of our home
our farmers as a whole have but little
interest.
McKinIey's farmers tariff is an
open, Undisguised attempt to deceive
The great outward flow of farm pro-
duce makes NcF[inley's duties on these
commodities extremely ridiculous. and
to suppose the farmers are going u ba
deceived by this is to credit them with
a very small measure of intelligence.
The Latest Freak OF NIoKinIeyIsua
The copyright law, which was passed
by congress just before adjournment.
contains one provision more extreme ia
the line of protection than anything in
the wild measure known as the McKin-
ley tariff law.
In the tariff law only two things are
absolutely prohibited from coming into
the country These are obscene books
and pictures and drugs or instruments
for producing abortion.
The prohibition of these is, of course,
proper enough; but now the copyright
law adds another to the list of prohibit
ed articles. What is this which, OF all
things in the world, is selected to 90 in
the same class with obscene books and
pictures and drugs and instruments for
producing abortion?
English books! In granting the En-
glish author the benefit OF copyright in
the United States the AicKinIeyites
compel him to have his book printed in
the United States from types set in tn
United States or from plates made in
