The emergency tariff bill designed
to help the farmers. passed by the
house, has struck snag in the senate.
always it has been regarded as good
politics to cater to the rural vote.
What other benefit that can accrue to
anybody by the passage Of the pro-
posed law is not apparent to the naked
eye. It would provide high protec-.
tive tariff on wheat, flour, corn, beans,
cotton seed, soy beans, cocoanut oil,
potatoes, rice, cattle, sheep, lemons,
peanut oil, wool and wooden cloth. It
should, to a small degree. raise prices
TO consumers in this country; but at
the same time this might be offset by
a further construction in consumption.
No tariff bill. comments the Sioux City
Tribune, can force the surplus farm
products down the threats of Ameri-
can consumers. That huge surplus
must be moved to where there are
stomachs with room to hold 1t. A tar
if viii not move it. So far as bring
ing any permanent or worth while re-
flief to farmers is concerned, the pro-
posed tariff will make no larger ripple
in prices than does n pebble when
tossed into n laRge pond. Our farm
surplus will compete in European
markets If it does not compete with
foreign farm produce here. Further
more. tariff invites reprisals; and
when the farmer goes to buy he most
likely will find that all mis- temporary
gain from the tariff win go into the
enhanced prices of articles that must
be imported.
