Iowa Is great agricultural state. but 1t
has always been In national elections
strong prOteetion state. because the farmer
Of Iowa understands perfectly well that
protection helps the producer as well
a. the manufacturer; be knows that
the prosperity Of the producer de-
ponds on the prosperity Of the manu-
fartursr, and vice versa; he knows
that under protection during the last shir-
ty-shres years the price Of nearly every
thing the farmer buys IL lover than il

nearly everything the farmer sells IL
higher than il was In Iss7 under free
trade tariff. The farmer 10 not fooled By
