selves and that depression amons
the manufacturers Of the Uni
ted States means a reduced de-
mand for farm products and reduc-
ton In prices. The idea of home mar
ket has thoroughly taken possession
of the minds Of the farmers. They
recognize that 1t Is far better to sell
their products to the people Of the Uni
ted States than to be compelled to send
them abroad In competition with the
cheap labor OF other countries. They
recognize that the people of the United
States will consume more of farm pro-
ducts, buy more freely and pay better
prices II there Is plentiful employment
and good wages. 1t Is with this thought
In mind that they have asked generous
protection for other Industries as well
as their own.
One important fact relative to the
tariff question now before the public
should constantly be kept in mind by
the farmers in this country and by ev-
cry citizen. The fact Is that a tariff
cannot be made In a minute, and that

November @, 1892, elected free trade
Congress and President, yet it was
not until August %. 1894, that the free
trade tariff had been formed, enacted
and put into operation. 1t is not prob
able that such a length of time will
elapse between the election of 1895
and the enactment Of protective tar

Republican party is not in complete
control Of the Senate, and may not be

1t is liable, therefore, to be hampered
In its efforts for prompt action by this
fact. and 1t must not be supposed that
the prosperity the country has had rea-
son to expect from the election of 1896
will come until the protective tariff
can be placed upon the statute books
and given time to produce it's effect up
on the manufacturing industries,
which, In turn, will produce their ben
