THE FARMERS FREE LIST

L IL II l. AN Al GNO l. NEE LIN l.
THE democrats in congress
do we'll when they begin tariff
revision by putting upon the
free list something like one
hundred articles largely con-
sumed by farmers. The farm
er has been the chief sufferer
from the principle of protection
and it is only fair that relief
should begin with him. The
reciprocity treaty is a God-send
to him, not so much because it
confers great benefits upon him
but because it leads to greater
reductions. The opponents of
the reciprocity agreement have
tried to hide behind the farmer
but the farmers free list" will
drive them from under cover
