Some things are pretty hard Tor 1he
average American to grasp. Perhaps
among the most difficult problems with
which the lay mind is now wrestling is
Just how the American farmer is to be
benefited by the removal OF the tarlh
from wool and other raw materials
which they produce, and its retention
ON the manufactured products made OF
these materials, which the big corpor-
ations produce and resell to the farmers
again. Also, why it is beneficial to the
country to remove the tariff from rice
and sugar, articles that American
planters produce millions OF dollars
worth of annually, and have always
carried a tariff, and put it on bananas,
not dollars worth of which are
produced here, but are imported from
other countries exclusively. And Incl
dentally a good many of them are IN
aDle to understand now just why they
voted the Democratic ticket anyway.
