FARMERS AND PROTECTION.


Millions In tnlust Taxation
This country was settled by the
filters OF the soil II was the farmers
who cleared away the forests, fought
Indians and Wild beasts. and ia later
years achieved the country's freedom
from the tyranny OF foreign rulers IL
has been the farmers who have pushed
the lines % civilization steadily west
ward and have occupied the great
prairics and fertile river valleys. IL
is the ever increasing number Of those
who live by cnltivating the earth that
has created markets for the diversified
industries which have sprung up all
over the country. The true basis Of
all the nations industrial and COM
mercial greatness has been in the mil
lions of farms. and not in the manu-
featuring cities and towns
At the present time the farmers
greatly outnumber those who are en-
gagged in manufacturing pursuits. As
ours is a government which is claimed
10 represent the whole people il might
naturally be supposed that the inter-
ests Of the ma jority were the first con-
sideration OF national lesislations4 a
brief examination will show whether
such j. the fact.
The census returns for 1890 show
that the farm products of the United
States in the last census year were
valued at g. 500 900. Goa In the same
year the products OF the American
manufacturers were valued al -. 800 :
900. go. or more than four times great
err in value than the farm products
For this remarkable result of the
laryer number of persons producing a
comparatively small share OF the an
nual wealth Of the country there must
be some sufficient reason
What that reason is is not hard to
find. 1t is in part that for over 30
years the republican party maintained
a most iniquitous system of taxation
which fell with crushing weight upon
the American farmer. Under the pre-
tense of creating home market for
their products the farmers were com

just taxation. and billions more in

tected farmers Instead OF helping

country. it was oppressed by laws
which brought ruin aud poverty TO
hundreds Of thousands The record of
80 years Of republican rule was one Of
continued discrimination against the
men xVhOSe t-uyqnrfpi toll had ruaia
this great commonwealth
This is why there has been so much
poverty and discomfort among the
farmers. why the price Of farm lands
has steadily fallen in many states:
why the young men have left the rural
districts and crowded into the cities
and towns. Is il not time to protest
against the attempt of the monopo,ists
who control the republican machine.

A KINDERGARTEN LESSON
An Expose Of the IhSory Which CudcrItss
the Mckinley High Tsrin swindi..


the Mckinley High Tnrin >windie.
The theory of trade prohi bition
which underlies the high tariff swindle
was laid down In n recent speech by
Mai Mckinley as follows. Every
shipload of foreign products that we
buy displaees just that quantity that
j. made in the United states. and as
you displace this quantity you displace
the requisite labor required TO make il
+ in the United states"
II this assertion Is true il would fol-
low that all trade is an evil since the
purchase by one section of country
OF goods from another section would
displace domestic products of value
equal 10 the imported goods Thus the
sale OF car load of hay from New
York state in Massachusetts must dis
place portion Of the hay crop Of the
latter state. According TO Maj. Nc.
kinlev's economy this would injurc the
Massachusetts farmer. and would de.
prive labor Of employment
Voters who have reached even the
kindergarten stage Of political econo-
my know that the Mckinley idea is
wholly n failacy. New York hay is
shipped To Massachusetts only when 4
can be sold al profit Instead of dis
placing the labor products of Massa-
chusetts it creates 4 demand for them,
as the New York farmer must take
something produced bv labor i'm ex-
change for his hay. That something
may be boots, cotton. barb wire or
money. In either case its production
gives employment To labor.
Exactly the same is true IL instead
of coming from New York the hay was
raised in Canada. or any other foreign
country. The Canadian farmer sells
hay because he wants goods made by
the labor of New York or Massachu-
sets He does not give away his prod
ucts, but takes back a quantity Of
goods equal in value to what he sells
The result of the business transac tions
which Maj Mckinley wants to stop
bv high tariff. is that the people of
New York who want hay, and the
farmers of Canada who want goods
are both benefited by getting what
they wan, cheaper than they can pro
duce .hem for themselves This is TIM
ultimate object of all commerce. as
well a of Ia bor-saving inventions. i'm.
proved methods of transportation. ths
diversifcation of industries and the
civilized arts.
II foreign goods displace our prod.
ucts the goods we ship abroad must
displace those OF countries with which
we trade. Were trade-prohibitiny tar.
ifs made universal we should lose our
markets for nearly 5000 000 00) worth
Of goods, which we now export annu.
ally. What do the American farmers.
who complain because prices are al
ready too low or American work men,
who are idle because there is an over.
production Of goods which cannot find
a market, think of the Ohio policy
which II carried out by other coun.
tries would leave US with products
worth s9eo. 900. 000unsold?

AN AGED CHESTNUT.


New Hsmpshire Republicans Adopt the
One That "'hr Foreigner Paws the Tax"
The New Hampshire repn blican state
convention distinguished itself by in
sorting in its platform the old high
tariff chestnut: The foreigner pays
the tax" After some stereotyped
abuse Of the democracy for three
years of disappointment rivation and
distress" the Granite state republicans
demanded the speedy repeal Of the
democratic tariff and the substitution
thereof of one based upon the princi-
pies Of the Mckinley act. for the pro-
curement Of national revenues as far
as possible from foreigners who mar
ket their merchandise in competition
with our productions"
II is just possible that the benighted
McKinleyites of New Hampshire are
still living in the mists and darkness
OF the ages when it was believed that
taxes on imports were paid by the for
eign producer. Whether real or as.
sumed their ignorance shows that in
spite Of our great public school system
there is still a deplora BILE need of the
study of elementary arithmetic IL
the men who talk of collecting reve-
nres from foreigners were able TO add
.nd subtract correctly. they would not
try to impose their theory on the pub
lie. The notion that duties on goods
are not paid By the consumer canno.
be honestly held by anyone who I'M
derstands that two and two make four,
or that five from six leaves one.
The facts Of everyday business ex-
perience show so plainly the absurdity
of the delusion that we can tax the
people Of other countries for the sup
port Of our government. tina, IL is I'M
necessary TO seriously argue against it
A mind SO constituted that il believes
that although the importer adds the
customs duties to the price Of the goods
he buys from abroad. and the retailer
charges the tariff tax 70 the price at
which the goods are finally sold. the
foreign producer pays the additional
cost due TO the tariff cannot be In.
fuenced BY facts or logic. The idea
put into the platform Of the New
Hampshire republicans is not doc.
trine or theory. but superstition.
and will only disappear when the peo-
pie become generally enlightened. In
ls92 a majority of more than |. 600. 900
Americans by their votes showed that
they know who pays the tariff taxes
In 1896 the majority against McKin-
lev's scheme for higher duties should
r. even larger. BY 1916 even the New
Hampshire protectionisis may find out
that take, are always pail by the con-
sumers Of the goods on which they are
imposed
