THE FARMER IN NO DANGER

A correspondent of The FirGtniGn writing un-
der the name Of Farmer" expresses the fear
that putting the agricultural products on the
free list will work to the detrment of the
farmers Of the country. He says that so far as
the steel and iron producers and manufacturers
are concerned, he is satisfied that they are in
no danger because they export their products
and have little competition in this country with
foreign made iron and steel but wants to know
what about the farmer
He is in the same boat, friend as regards most
Of his products They are not imported and
he has no competition. In a great number of
instances the duty on farm products is a bluff
placed there by the Republican tariff makers as
a sop to the farmer To persuade him to vote
for protection of agricultural implements in the
interest of the manufacturer they placed a duty
on his goods-a duty In many cases which
amounted to nothing, for the simple reason
that those products do not enter this country
+ AS to the few things produced by American
farmers and imported In some quantities, our
friend need have no fear. There will be no cut
in the prices he receives, the burden-when
there is a burden-falling upon the commission
merchants. who will be forced to sell at lower
rates to meet competition with the imported
article Moreover. the lower rates on farming
implements, on lumber and on the food the farmer
has to buy will result in some decrease in the
prices he pays
In the matter of tariff revision the farmers
interests are the same as those of any other
consumer II apv one is hurt II will be few
manufacturers, who by selling their goods more
cheaply abroad than at home, demonstrate that
they are selling them too high In this country.
