TUE NEW TARIFF AND THE FARMER
Prices Of Farm Products Not Lowered
by Foreign Competition.

Dy Foreign competition.
The Iowa farmer enjoys better pric-
Cd for his corn, cattle, wheat. hogs and
eggs under the Democratic ttariff that
recently went into effect than he en-
joyed under ethe Payne-Aldrich tariff
which proceeded it.
This is the answer which the DAILY
MARKET QUOTATIONS for the
month Of February make to the lying
statements of Republican newspapers
that Democratic Free Trade is
bringing ruin to the farmers by reas.
on of the competition of Canada and
the Argentine Republic.
The daily quotations on CORN for
February 1914 under the democratic
tariff average Is cents bushel higher
than the quotations for the correspond
ing month in 1913 under the republican
protective tariff.
The daily quotations on WHEAT av-
eraged about cents per bushel higher
IN February, 1914 under the democratic
tariff than they averaged in the same
month of 1918 under the republican
tariff law.
The daily quotations on HOGS for
February 1914 average As cents per
hundred weight. higher than. those of the
corresponding month in the proceed
ing year.
The daily Quotations on CATTLE
average IS cents higher per hundred
weight in February 1914 over the pric-
es quoted on the corresponding dates
Of 1913.
The daily quotations on EGGS for
February 1914 average about 9 cents
q dozen higher than the quotations ,or
the corresponding dates in 1918.
This advance in lprices means mill
ions of dollars of added value to the
products of Iowa farms and the reve-
nues of Iowa farmers. Take the one
little item of eggs alone: The annual
production of eggs in Iowa is estimat-
ed by the State department of Agri-
culture at 97.549,73l dozens. An in
rease Of 9 cents per dozen means that
this annua, production will sell for 49,
COO. 600 more money. The advance of
rs cents in the price Of corn means an
Increase many times greater than that
from the advance in eggs.

house at Vera Cruz. as well as those
at other ports on the East and West
seaboard, VIII be seized. BY this
means, the efficiency of any opposi-
ton to American military movements
can be seriously hampered.
The President was very busy in his
study at the White House for several
hours this morning, reviewing the
recommendations made to him last
night by the army and navy boards Of
strategy. Naturally, all supposed
movements are being shrouded with
every possible secrecy. II is known,
however, that at the conference. the
suggestion was made that the expe-
dictionary force which will be sent to
Vera Cruz ought to leave Immediately
after our blockade is declared. This
will be the Texas City force Of regu-
lars that has been held in reserve for
more than a year.
Would Keep Guns From Huerta-
It was known here that the ship
ment which the administration is SO
anxious to prevent reaching Huerta
consists Of 100000 rounds of ammu-
milton and 200 Of the latest models OF
Krupp rapid-fre machine guns
Huerta, it is understood. expected
these munitions specifically to hold
and defend the railway from Mexico
City to Vera Cruz. The seizure OF
this line is the very first step contem.
plated by army and navy strategistE
to follow occupation Of Vera Cruz
and the initial warlike measures.
If Huerta gets arms to defend it
the task of the United States woulC
be infinitely increased.
From the air of gravity maintained
by all officials, it was believed her,
that orders of some sort affecting thil
shipment had already been sent.
All sorts of rumors attended the cab

WASHINGTON. April 2i.-Presi-
dent Wilson chafed today while Con-
gress talked. The Executive. with all
Of his plans for action in Mexico COM
pleted. sat quietly in the executive
offices waiting. When Congress JUS
ti6es action that action VIII come.
But until Congress does this the army
and navy will be held In leash and no
formal action will be taken IN the
critical Mexican situation.
It was the first time in the history
of the United States that the Presi-
dent had not been enthusiastically
upheld by Congress when he asked
authority to use the army and navy
To enforce respect for the flag. When
the form OF the resolution declaring
war against Spain was before Con-
gress. there was a long dispute, but
the final vote was unanimous. There
was unanimity. in the end, that was
not indicated as forthcoming in to-
davis situation. Both sides to the
DISPUTE blamed the other. The oppo-
sition to the President, and even
some OF his closest supporters IN
sisted that he had blundered. They
said he had over-emphasized Huerta
and under-emphasized outrages
against Americans. The Presidents
slogan. Huerta must go, met with no
popular shout of approval. Huerta
! has loomed up big and strong at all
times In his defiance of the United
states and has forced much hostile
sympathy for his stand. They IN
sisted that had the Executive seized
on the Vergara incident and demand
ed the right to use the army and navy
to ayenge that and previous murders
and outrages there could have been
no ouibbling. But making Huerta the
chief object Of reprisals could not
force unanimous support from Con
gress.
Friends of the President expected
that the situaticn would be smoothed
\ out. They insisted that he had made
the diplomatic incident the excuse toI
action in order 20 comply with the re-
ouirements of international procedur,
and Justify a beligerent blockade OF
the Mexican coast.
