FILLED CHEESE MARKETS.
Free Trade Has FILLED Our Markets with
Cheap Foreign Dairy Products.
IMPORTS ON caEEaE

Quite recently the free trade and CON-
mercial papers had a lot to say about
"filled" cheese. But we never saw one
word about the manner in which our
cheese markets are being filled" with
foreign cheese. It is always well 10 look
below the surface of Democratic argu-
ment.
American farmers may or may not
put filled" cheese upon the market,
thus depressing the price of good cheese.
But foreign farmers have most assured
ly, under the German tariff, filled"
our markets with cheap cheese. Though
the reduction in duty was but cents a
pound, it has enabled foreigners TO sell
Us nearly 1900, 900 pounds more of
their cheese in the two German tariff
years than they did during the two first
years of the Mckinley tariff, which af-
forded protection to American farmers.
Somebody has consumed this addi-
tional foreign cheese, and it has taken
the place Of similar quantity of Amer
lean cheese. Under Mckinley protection
the average price of foreign cheese i'm
ported was ID cents pound. but the
Democratic tariff enabled the foreigners
to put their cheese in here at an average
price Of Ga cents. That is where it
hurts our farmers. A few million pounds
Of cheap cheese will weaken the "filled"
market good deal more than the "fill-
ed" cheese, if there be any.
