The Farmers Free List.

The democrats in congress do
well when they begin tariff revision
by putting upon the free list some.
thing like one hundred articles
largely consumed by farmers. The
farmer has been the chief sufferer
from the principle of protection aud
it is only fair that relief should be-
gin with him. The reciprocity treaty
Is God-send to him, not So much
because Ii confers great benefits up
ON him but because it leads to great
er 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 and compel
them to vote with the democrats or
quit talking about the farmer. Look
at the list.

the consumer can buy his meat In

has taxed the farmer both ways. in

farmers will be benefited by free
meat. Let the good work go on !;
