Mr. Mondell Rep.. Wyo)-I would like 10 ask 'he
gentleman IL the map or table which he has oetore
him does not Indicate the price of wheat in INDIA
the silver prce-as the silver was measured IN
gold?
Mr. Johnson-Not at all. This Is the rupee the
farmers got their pay in the primary market.
Mr. Mondel-Does the gentleman mean TO stand
here and say that the farmers of India lost last
year on their wheat this vast sum- receiving only "a
cents bushel for 1t in place of the market price,
when the gold price Of wheat in the LONDON mar
ket at the same time was something Ike oo cents
a bushel and the price of transportation less thah
10 cents a bushel? (Applause) Does the gentle
man mean to insult the intelligence of this House py
saving that the farmers OF India allowed themselves
to be cheated out Of 90 bushel on the wheat
last year?
Mr. Johnson-I did not say that have given the
farm prices in the United states and the farm
prices in India According to the gentiemahs Hs
lres the farmers of India lost 20 cents bushel last
year on their wheat from what they shouid nave
received and would have received II they mad
