Give Us Free Lumber.

The Farm and Stock" Of St. 10,
Missouri, has this to say concerning
the fight for free lumber in congress-:
THE American Lumberman, whose
editor, Mr.. ]. E. Defebaugh, is the
regularly retained manager of the lum-
Der lobby that is working overtime at
Washington trying to maintain an
Ubiquitous and obsolete tariff is great
ly exercised over Farm and Stock'sat t
tack on the said iniquity.
The Lumberman would still more
be exercised if it understood how Deep
! y the farmers of the country feel on
this subject.
They are watching congress and to
speak plain English, the dominant
party if it wants to stay in power,
should keep in mind the fact that it
is being watched by the farmers.
There is no s in arguing this sub
ject in detail with The Lumberman.
The lumber tariff is all wrong: there
was no excuse for raising it to So and
81 in 1897, and there is no excuse ex-
cept that Of revenue for retaining a
single trace of it now, and we believe
the forest conservation considerat ion
outweighs the revenue considerat ion.
Lumber should be free.
We are we'll aware that Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the forest service, has
taken the view Of the high tariff lum-
bermen. We respect MI. Pinchot, but
we fully understand the tremendous
pressure the lumber lobby has brought
to bear upon him, and we know that
naturally he would be In sympathy
with the men with whom his depart
ment so largely transacts it's business.
For this reason we discount his posi-
tion and take that of the great major
ity of disinterested persons who have
given this subject careful considera-
ton; namely, that one potent way to
to prolong the life of the forests Of
the United States is to draw a part
of our wood supplies from the forests
Of other countries.
We wonder whether congress and
the Republican party will permit
themselves to be duped by the activi-
ties Of a lumber lobby which may rep
resent n timber owner to every ten
Thousand lumber consumers.
Later:-The ways and means COM
mittee has reported its tariff bill, and
as we feared that portion Of it relat-
ing to lumber is most unsatisfactory.
The tariff on rough lumber is reduced
from 81 to 81 per Thousand, but the
tariff on finished lumber, although re-
duced, remains so high IS to be pro
hibitive. Ninety per cent Of all the
lumber the farmer and home builder
buys is finished. OF what benefit to
him, then, is the reduction on rough
lumber? We should have absolutely
free lumber, but in any other event
there should be no discrimination be-
tween rough and finished.
We warn members of congress that
the lumber schedule proposition Of
the bill is so framed as to delude the
ignorant, but to do no good to the
consumer.
Again we say, let us have free lum-
