PROTEST ON TARIFF
sLonzDA rAnMnR ASKS ron M


Tallahassee, Fla. April -(epecialy
Governor 0ilchrfst has received the
following communication from the Ex-
pertinent Station Of the University of
Florida. relative to a matter OF great
Importance to the farmers. fruit and
truck groves Of Florida. and has
transmitted Q copy thereof to each Of
the Florida Senators and Represent
atives In Congress-:
Gainesville. Fla. April 20. 1909.
His Excellency. Hon. Albert W. Gil
christ. Governor, Tallahassee, Fla:
Honorable Eir--Sometime ago In your
message. you called attention to the
fact that Congress was about to put
tariff on potash salts imported from
Germany. This matter should receive
very earnest and energetic attention
from our Congressman and Senators.
as 1t is very serious thing for Flor
ida.
wish to present to you the following
facts. which cannot be disputed. It is
a very serious matter, since 1t will
bear heaviest on the country boy, the
country girl and heavier still upon the
wife Of the farmer.
trust YOU may ind It possible to
present this matter to our Senators and
congressman in such way that they
will make strong tight for us when
the tariff bill goes to conference. 1t
has passed the House and practically
passed the Senate.
/ have before me d copy OF the Payne
bill, and as understand It. this Payne
bill proposes to put potash salts which
are used for fertilizer purposes on the
retaliatory basis. As this salt Is all
mined In GERMANY. and as Germany
does not belong to the most favored
nation" the Payne bill would put q
retaliatory duty of 20 per cent, ad VAL
orem on potash salts.
According to the State Chemists re-
port for the year ending December 81.
1908, he sold inspection stamps to cover
1ss.223.72 tons of commercial ferttl-
izers. The average composition, taxi
ing 127 samples analysed. Of complete
fertilizers. we have the average fer
tilizer to run T.0s per cent. potash.
According to this same authority q
unit OF potash costs CLIO at seaboard.
potash by the cost per unit at sea-
board, we have $7.7s as the average
cost OF potash in ton Of fertilizer at
seaboard. Twenty per cent. of the cost
of potash win give US $f.56 as the pro-
posed tax per ton, IL this tarin sched-
uie passes. Multiplying this by the
number OF tons Of fertilizer used. as
shown by the chemists report, we have
total OF $207.509.26.
The last Federal census shows that
we have In round numbers about 49,
900 farmers and fruit growers IN the
State. This would make an average
tax of q little more than IS per farm
in Florida. which Is approximately
twice the amount paid for all educa-
tfonal purposes. From this you will
see how heavy such provision would
fall upon our agricultural communi-
ties.
have written this out In detail. that
you may be able to analyze II and use
the figures in such a way as will be
most effective.
Very respectfully.
