the farmers wages Be doubled ? He
is large consumer Of manufscured
goods. He must sell his products 10
the open markets Of the world. No
tariff can help him 20 much a. empty

Large consumption is his most potent
ally. A tariff that makes him pay
more for store goods does not help
him very much.
But let Us be fair and Just even to
the doctine Of high protection
Higher tariff will make all wares cost
more. II the tarin shuts out foreign
products that we can produce 1t will
make those products bring the pro-
ducer more. II the producer gets bet
ter prices on the market he will not
miDd higher prices at the store.
The outlook for better prices for
wheat Is good. Consumption Is in
ereasing. The worlds stock is low.
1t is probable that wool, mohair and
ali farm products. except hops, may
bring better prices than for years.
Hops may be lower and 90 to four
cents. We would advise farmers 10
