The Answer to the Question Why

Power and Get All They
Ask.
Europe because They Have to-
But They Prsfit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--The first atte mpt
TO enlarge the scope of the democratic pol
icy of the ways and means COM
mittee came to-day in the form
of a resolution introduced by Fit1ian
mittee to report q bill placing oil kinds Of
agricultural implements on the free list
Fithian thinks his proposition should have
the support of every democratic represent
ntive from an agricultural district and has
already received assurance of support from
Watson and colleagues of the peoples
party. Fithian's resolution 10 voluminous
and opens by asserting that the manufao-
turers of farm implements in the United
States are selling farm implements in for
eign countries and to jobbers for export
for less than to the farmers Of this country.
This fact it says, is conolusively estab-
lished BY the following answer to A. 3.
Farquhar, agricultural implement maker Of
York, Pa. ''To tho Home Market club
We do sell goods cheaper to customers in
foreign countries directly and to jobbers
for export than we do to the domestic trade.
You will like to learn the process by which
the manufacturer can afford to sell a for
eign buyer goods for less than he can homo
customers? The.reply is simplicity itself.
We receive the prices current in the market
in which we sell. We cannot get more and
cannot be expected to get less.' The reso-
luton concludes: Whereas Under this
system of plundering the farmers of our
country they are compelled to pay more for
implements than the same implements are
sold for to farmers abroad. whose products
are marketed in competition with the pro-
ducts of our farms; and, whereas, The
duties upon farm implements are unjust
Determinations against American farmers
for the benefit of manufacturers. who do
not need it, and is, therefore. legalized rob-
berry; Resolved, That the committee Of
ways and means be instructed to report
bill placing all kinds Of agricultural imple-
ments on the free list"
"My reason for the introduction of the
resolution said Fithian, ''is indicated by
the resolution itself. During the last cam
paign in New York state WAS informed by
many farmers OF 81. Lawrence county, q
that implements manufactured III the
United States could be purchased much
cheaper In Canada. Our farmers are COM
PEELED to sell their products in the free
markets of tho world and buy all the
necessaries in protected markets."
Chairman Springer, of the ways and
means committee, was not prepared to say
that the committee would receive fayorably
Fithian's resolution as an independents
proposition. "Revision of the metal and
lumber schedule" said he, ''s involved in
dealing with farm implements, as iron and
lumber are materials from which farm i'm
plements are made. 1t would not do to put
finished products on the free list and leave
raw material still subjected to tax. This
would simply drive the manufacturers of
such products out of the country.''

his wonder and admiration. Within this
