replied. Those boys are doing that
am going &c fight for the producer.
Mr.. Young opposed all efforts a:
revision OF the existing tariff law
because. as ne ccntended. the Law
protects the interests OF the farmer.
The principal complaint agains;
the ta-!r. as regards" he said. has
had reference to the products OF the
farmers. Therefore we nigh; ant:c-
!pate ;aa, the f-st schedule tina:
would come from the other House
would be the agricultural schedule.
I would be afraid for Secretary VII
son Or any number OF great farmers
to be carSht alone with that sched-
u!e with no means Of defence.
The weapons Of offence and de-
fence in legislation are the right oi
amendment and the privilege OF Of
.ering substitutes. Ny colleague
would take from himself and myself
TIE right OF introducing the wcolen
schedule as a substitute for any pro-
posed amendment which might pu:
AGRICULTURAL products or the free list.
SO should the proposed rule become
he law Of the couatry's. we would
be denied the privilege OF fighting
sor our interests by the Introduction
OF the interests OF others"
