made by the people in 1892 resulted in the
repeating of this legislation by Congress
In the Wllson-Gorman act of 1894, stop
ping this industry. The Dingley bill. en-
acted by the extra session of the present
Congress, has again revived the hopes of
the American people There is a pros
pect now that this 800 200, 900 will. with
in few years, be kept at home to be dis
tr1buted among the working people
throughout the country One question
the American farmer must always have
IN mind, and that is, the steady employ
ment of our laboring people We are
workers ourselves. Those who employ
labor in other lines would feel the effect
of these new industries. Labor would
be more in demand and get better prices
because of the distribution of this $780,,
OOo,OOo among our people. 1t will be an
opportunity, valuable to the farm not only
in the diversified ton of crops, but with re-
gard to its benefit to the dairy. The by
products of beet factories will be val
liable for feeding to the dairy COW as the
sugar beet would be before taken to the
factory, because the bulk of our staple
crops has more carbonaceous matter than
the dairy COW requires The factories only
use the carbonaceous part of the beet,
leaving the heterogeneous matter entirely
in the pulp \ great impetus will be Civ
en- to dairying in the United States. The
find this necessary element of COW feed,
and the farmer, when he takes a load of
beets to the factory, will bring back a load
of pulp and save it up against the time
when he needs to feed it. Note the effect
of the two policies as they bear upon the
farmer and his prosperity. The theory
of the one is that we should buy in the
cheapest market. We tried that during
the last administration. The theory of
the other is that we should produce in the
United States everything that our soil
and climate are capable of producing. We
remember distinctly the effect of this pol
icy under all Republican administration
We are getting an earnest of the effect
of it now under the present administra-
ton.
Protection Establishes New Industries
That protection establishes new indus
tries we have had a lively illustration
within the past few years. In 1901 we
had no tin manufactures in this coun-
try; imported 1,O36, 4S9, 074 pounds.
President Mckinley placed % cents a
pound on tin coated iron and steel. That
act has created nearly 200 tin plate mills
For the fiscal year ended June 80. 1890,
we only imported 81 49,, $50 worth. We
import now for special uses only; very
soon we will not import any.
The ideal condition to be reached is such
diversifcation of industry that the farm
will find home market for most of his
products. The establishment of every
new industry brings us nearer to that
ideal. II is estimated that 10000 people
directly and indirectly employed in
the tin plate industry. They are new
customers here for the American farm
ers that we formerly fed at arms length
in other countries.
