THE BENEFIT TO THE FARMERS.

ers TO the extent Of dime the contrary, it adds
To the heavy burdens they compelled TO bear" shout
free-trade demagogues from every stump in Ohio and
Iowa Iowa stands at the head OF the swinc-pr0ducng
states. Illinois comes second, Ohio third Missouri
fourth Indiana fifth, Kansas sixth, Nebraska seventh
and Wisconsin eighth These States produce more than
one half OF the total number Of swine in the United
States With the markets Of Germany, Austria, France
and Italy closed against the American product, the
United States exported in the year ended June 3d. $780,
no less than $40 ,s24 pounds Of bacon, hams and
satcd pork In the year ended June 30 1901, the total
was 6sO 403664 pounds. II Is estimated that the re-
opening of the German market alone will add at least
25 per cent to the amount and value OF the annual
expectation OF these products. 1t is also fact that
tho Mckinley Tariff law has been powerful lever In
the hands Of the Administration to open the way TO this
result With a larger demand for the American prod
net will come better prices Some careful and wellin
formed persons have estimated that the increase will
amount to cent pound On the basis Of last years
exports that would amount to nearly S7,0o0o0o but
the total exports of this year will greatly exceed those
of last year. even II France and Austra-Hnngary snail
