TARIFF AND THE FARMER.

A striking example of the operation
of the protective tariff on the faiTnefs'
interests is afforded by consideration
of the effect Of the so-ealled protective
duty upon wool, and woolen products.
Schedule X, on wool and woolens, has
often been denominated the citadel Of
protection, and Mr.. Aldrich, co-author
. of the infamous Payne-Aldrich bill,
used to say that if Schedule X ever
fell, the entire protective system
would tumble into ruins.
1t is pointed out by well-known
economist that comparatively few
farmers grow wool, but that all farm
ers wear clothing. This might be a
narrow view, for it would seem that a
way could be found to equalize stand
ards of prices and profits so as to pre-
vent the wool-growing farmer from
loss. 1t appears, however, that the
woolen mill-owners takes the great
bulk of the protective duty on wool,
and gives the farmer little.
Farmers, and so far as that goes,
the most of us, are clad in winter in
cotton and shoddy, and yet the
wooden manufacturer receives 45
cents pound protection on the entire
weight of the farmers clothing on the
basis that it is all wool. He passes on
this additional cost to the farmer but
gives the wool grower only about one
third of this 45 cents in increased
price of wool.
A foreign price of suiting weighing
eighteen ounces to the yard is 40 per
cent. cotton, 80 per cent. wool and 30
per cent. wool shoddy. costing on the
present rate of exchange $1.09 yard.
A comparable domestic fabric costs
$1.75. Under the proposed Fordney
tariff the duty would be "a per cent. of
this SITS, or AZ cents; the weight duty
at 80 cents pound, 33 3-4 cents, and
the landing charge 8 1-2 cents, MAX
ing the foreign fabric cost here $1.95.
Under the existing emergency tariff
with its As cents a pound weight duty,
the cloth would cost $2O8 as against
the American price of S1.75. The
wool grower would get Is cents per
pound protection instead of the As
cents weight duty. Then he turns
around and charges Mr.. Farmer, when
heSbuys a suit of clothes the full As
cents.
The farmers economic condition
cannot be improved until there is some
adjustment between the proportionate
sale of his products and the profits ac-
cruing to manufacturers upon every
thing he buys. For instance, why is
it that the commons agricultural tools
made in the United States can be
bought for less by the European farm
er than they can be secured for here in
Missouri, or Iowa, or Kansas, or Ne
braska. even though we are several
thousand miles nearer the, source of
manufacture athan the farmer of
France or Germany,,.W WhYtdees i the
American farmer have to pay 1921
dozen at wholesale fprga shovel manq-
facturdd in thisl dduntry, while Z the
identical shovel exported can be
bought iniEurope for 81. so?

duetive speeches Of the protectionist,

General.
In order to maintain it's organiza-
ton and in recognition of its obliga-
ton to its employees and t the en-
munity, (Which is almost wholly de-
pendent on the mines), the company
continued operations, although it
could not sell its production and has,
in fact, accumulated very substan-
tial stock.
The company's employees have
shown their appreciation of this pol
icy by their successful cooperation
in the reduction of costs.
The year has been a trying one for
all corporations, particularly those in
the metal mining business. The
price of the metal has been lower than
at any time since before the war and
the company's earnings have conse-
quently been smaller than at any time
since 1912. The outlook for 1922 is
much brighter and the stockholders
have every reason to expect improved
business for the coming year.
