THE FARMER AND The TARIFF

That ancient G.. o. P. fairy tale that
protection was responsible for the farm
ers' prosperity has been smashed to
smithereens by plain cold markstquota-
tions since the Underwood low tariff bill
became a law.
Corn under the democratic tariff, last
February averaged II cents q bushel
higher on the Chicago market than dur
ing the corresponding month of 1913,
under the republican tariff. Wheat.
under the democratic tariff. in February
1914, averaged about cents a bushel
higher than it averaged in February,
1918, under the republican tariff law.
Hogs averaged 10 cents per hundred
weight higher in February. 1914. than in
February, 1913. Cattle averaged IS
cents per hundredweight higher in Feu-
ruary this year than in the same month
last year, The marset prices of the
foregoing products are in each case
higher today than the average price of
the last four years. If protection makes
the farmer prosperous how does 1t hap
pen that he is getting more for his pro
ducts today, under a democratic low
tariff bill, than he did at any time under
four years of republican highprotection?
The answer is simply that the Amerl-
can farmer is practically unaffected, in
the value Of MS products, by tariffs high
or low. Protection viii not make him
rich nor can q low tariff make him poor.
The law of supply and demands is the
only law affecting the price of his pro-
ducts hat he need reckon with. and the
advantages of that Law are all on his
side. The agricultural resources OF the
world cannot be developed fast enough
to keep pace with the constantly H.
creasing demand. hence the American
farmers prosperity is assured regardless
of tariffs.
On the other hand the farmer is a
beneficiary of a low tariff. 1t takes the
hand of monopoly from his throat. 1t
%rheapens the cost of his raw material.
hls tools n machinery. the clothing for
i,lmself and family. and the countless
u her things he does not produce but
has to buy. The farmer has nothing to
fear and d great deal to gain from the
democratic policy of tariff for revenue

The directors Of the Father Scott me-

placed an order for a $3.50 monument to
be placed in the cemetery in memory of
the missionary hero, Rev. John Scott,
known to the early residents for many
miles on both sides of the boundary line
from the banks of the Red River Valley
westward to the Turtle Mountain re-
glon. The story of his heroism and in
cident hardships furnish the data of
many Of the frontier stories of the long

collected to pay for the monument, but
it is believed that the many friends oyer
the northern part of the state will easily
contribute enough to make up the def
cheney before the date of the unwilling,
