A Farmers Views On the Tariff.

A Farmers Views On the Tariff.
Ed Virginian.
Sir.-The tendency to take extreme
views on the tariff Is very common,
even among well-informed people
Many seem to think that this country
should have tariff wall high enough
to protect our manufacturers from all
Ioutside competition. while a few go tn
an equally dangerous opposite extreme,
and advocate absolute free trade. The
simple fact Is, however, that mod
crate tariff which will raise a large
revenue. and still give the products Of
our factories and farms reasonable
advantage in our own markets Is de-
cidedly the best for this country at
the present time, and probably would
have been In the past.
Any fair minded person who will
fully consider the tariff problem, from
the respective standpoints of the pro-
Fducer. consumer and taxpayer, can
hardly fail to arrive at the above con-
lclusion. Let us look briefly at our
sugar industry. The reader must ad-
nit that It would be much better for
this country to produce its own sugar
both raw and refined, than to import
IL from abroad. Consequently our
tariff schedule should give both the
grower and reffner a reasonable pref
lerence in the home market, even II
the consumer has TO pay a trif1e more
for his sugar, 1t would however. be
both unjust and foolish for our Gov
eminent TO build a Chinese wal.
around our sugar or any other indus
try. On the other hand, there Is no
reason for placing any commodity on
the free list. unless 1t is some such
substance as raw rubber. that Is much
needed in our manufactures and ear
not be produced at home.

cate the levyins or much higher duties

The Governor brings out the fact
that notwit Outstanding that one dollar
ont OF every seven of our revenue
goes to the payment of an ante bellum
debt. Virginia has consistently ex-
banded In it's appropriations for edu-
cation, for the care OF its Confederate
veterans. and for the esta blishing
equipping. and eniarging our state In
stitutions.
| The Governor refers to the endorse
ment of the enabling, act by the peo-
pie of the State, thereby committing
the state TO the policy of prohibition.
In order that the executive may be
able to translate the will OF the people
into definite. vigorous and unmis-
taxable action the Governor earnestly
points cut the need that the arm OF
1.-The executive, the responsible head Of
the state government shall be
strengthened, that the state may be
able to step in and enforce the law
where local officials prove dilatory.
The Governor concludes with vigor-
GUS appeal for the enactment Of plain.
strong and enforceable laws" declaring
that in their absence the registered will
of the people will avail little.

Fcreseeing an attempt on the part
lof some of those who for obvious rea-

on the people OF the State not to be
fcheated out OF their just dues by any
hue and cry which may now be raised
against the methods found both neces-
sary and effective in bringing such
property to the view of the taxing
authorities. He warns against a sur
