Wheeler's court in Council Bluffs a

Inhibited the erection of the holes on

entire force of telephone linemen en-

TARIFF HITS THE FARMER
sMooT ASSERTS FREE MEAT
AIDS THE "6EEF BARoNs."
Charges underwood-S Bill is
Blow To Agricultural interests
of the Country.

Washington, July %. - When the
senate met the tariff debate was
resumed and Senator Smoot of Utah
completed his address. He attacked
first the action of the Democrats in
placing meats, cattle. hides, wool, ETC.,
on the free list. declaring that such
action is only playing into the hands
of the beef barons and throttling com
petition. The importation of meats
and cattle free of duty. he said, will
give a tremendous advantage to Can
ada. Mexico and Argentina at the ex-
pense OF the American farmer.
Senator Smoot argued that the
chief advocates OF the low rates of
tariff both before the house and the
senate have been the importers. OF
reduced duties upon automobiles, SEN
ator Smoot said:
"Just why the European manufac-
turers should have any consideration
whatever in fixing this or any other
duty, Is beyond the comprehension OF
and fair-minded American citizen.
But they figure very extensively in
this fixing of the rates on automo-
biles, occupying many pages of the
hearings, and filling threats, which
II made elsewhere by Americans
would be considered insolent."
In the cotton schedule, Senator
Smoot insisted that the northern
manufacturers had been discriminate
ed against and the southern produc-
ers had been favored. The northern
manufacturers make the finer grades
of goods. he said. He declared that
American mill workers must COM
pete with the cheap Asiatic labor OF
Japan in manufacturing cotton goods,
American clock and watch manu-
facturers, manufacturers of window
glass. of pottery and of gloves. all are
treated harshly by the proposed law.
