The reason is at once apparent. II

burden of growing the young is too
much of a strain upon her to allow Of
her gaining much flesh. This brings
us to what Is known as flushing"
among old shepherds.
Flushing may be defined as putting
the eve upon highly succulent and

OF FARMER
PROTECTION GIVES HIM GOOD
MARKETS FOR HIS PRODUCTS
At FAIR PRICES.
PRACTICAL BENEFITS SHOWN
Prosperity Under Republican Admins
tration, With Distress Under DEM
oeratie Control, Is the Answer to
Professor Wilson's Inaccurate
Statements Regarding Tariff.

Professor Wilson, who has been ad-
vocating free trade In all of his speech
es, says that the farmers never have
lection. Then he ads:
But everything you use on the
farm. everything that you wear and a
great deal of what you eat, but do not
produce yourself, including meats.
bears a heavy duty, which brings
about the interesting result that you
are paying for the wealth of the Unit
ed States and getting nothing. or
equivalent to nothing. so far as the
tariff is concerned. Now that has not
just begun to be true. II has always
been true"
II is not true. The protective tariff
does benefit the farmers. They know
it, and by their voets have helped to
maintain the policy of protection. Ev-
cry Republican victory has been due
to the vote of the farmers In support
of the protective system. These far
mers have not been mistaken through
all these years. The value of protec-
ton has been demonstrated to them
over and over again.
The fact is that every time tariff
duties have been reduced below the
protective point. the farmers in this
country have been heavy losers be-
cause of diminished demand and lower
prices for their products. On the 9TH
er hand. In every period OF restored
protection, the farmers have reaped
the benefits of a greater demand and
increased prices. There has been no
exception to the rule OF prosperity for
American farmers. when American
labor is fully employed.
There were good crops between
1892 and 1897. The rains fell. the
sun shone. the ground was Just as fer
tile as now. In those years, however,
corn sold for l6 cents a bushel and
wheat for 35 cents a bushed.
Why?
Because the factories were closed
and millions OF men were idle. With
the lowering of the tariff duties, Amer
ican merchants bought their goods
abroad. and the orders which should
have gone to American factories kept
foreign labor busy. AS payment for
these various goods had to be made
in gold, the vaults of the banks and
of the United States treasury became
empty. There was great stringency of
money. 1t was impossible to negoti-
ate loans, and banks suspended.
The farmer shared In these disas-
tiers because he had no market for his
products.
After the Republicans came into
power and passed laws which turned
the tide of commerce back from
Europe to the United States, good
times began again. and the farmers
shared In the general prosperity.
These are the figures. comparing 1896
with 1911:
Corn advanced 800 per cent
Wheat advanced 67 per cent.
Cotton advanced l65 per cent
Oats advanced 2s per cent
