PROTECTION AND THE FARMER.
Agriculture Receives Absolutely No
benefit Out of the Tariff.

Mr.. Roosevelt. in one of his many
books, said that there was no doubt
about the fact that the high tariff
against which South Carolina so vigor-
ously protested was a discrimination
against the purely agricultural com
munitieS."
So certain is it that a protective tar
iff cannot help the producer OF staple
agricultural products. that not long
ago Mr.. Lubin. Republican, came to
Congress demanding that Congress
should protect the farmer as well as
the manufacturer.
When he was told that there existed
duties upon Indian corn. wheat, etc.
his reply substantially was that every
man knew it worked no protection, so
called. to the American farmer He
said that the Government could help
the manufacturers of certain products
by levying import duties. making, OF
course. the rest of the community pay
the price Of the help; but the only way
in which they could help the farmers
was by giving an export bounty. and
he demanded that bounty very serious
