Senator Walsh, democrat. Massa-
chusetts, declared today in the Sem
ate. He was discussing the agricul-
tural schedule and announced that
from time to time he would submit
figures. staggering in their size,
showing what an unbearable burden
these duties on agricultural products
will be- to the consumers"
Senator Walsh estimated that the
duties on beef and veal would in
crease prices of those commodities
and lamb would advance by a total
of $31,500,O0o: pork, by s1o5.ooo.ooo,
and lard, by $12,000.o00. He said the
total would be $3.77 for each man,
woman and child in the country. or
s1Ss5 for a family of five. The
the increased cost to the people OF
his state alone would be $15,14o.o00
No BENEFIT to Farmer.
The speaker argued that the pro-
posed tariffs could not result in any
benefit to the farmers, for reasons
which he outlined as follows:
"A tariff upon agricultural prod
ucts, except in a very limited number
of instances, may not have at all the
effect of raising the general level of
prices to the producer.
ITO whatever extent 1t will raise
the price to the producer it will (a)
react in higher cost of living to the
people of the country, and (b) react
In higher costs of the things the
farmer must buy. This was we'll IL
Illustrated during the war. As the
prices Of agricultural products in
creased. an increase in price Of things
the farmer purchased closely follow
ed, and the result was little net ed-
vantage to him.
Wages Depend on Costs.
Tho wages of labor have been and
are becoming more and more depend
ent upor the cost of living. Increased
costs through tariff rates Of those
things the laboring people Of the
country must eat means increased
wages, and increased wages in the
industrial and large centers of popu-
lation means that labor will be scarce
and will demand corresponding:y high
wages on the farms
"In those cases where the duties on
agricultural products will be most ef-
fective in increasing prices they are
levied upon commodities produced in
restricted sections by a small per-
centage of the farmers of the United
States. Thus high duties are pro-
posed on lemons, almonds, walnuts.
figs, and wrapper tobacco. of Wnlcn
the great majority Of farmers are con-
sumers rather than producers.
"An examination Of statistics ana
well known information IN regard to
some of these agricultural articles,
Senator Walsh continued. will prove,
I believe, beyond question, that this
chedule will not meet with the sue
cess claimed for it. but viii! result IN
very serious losses to the American
neople as a whole, and will impair and
injure materially the growing ana
expanding export business or the
country. II this is true, then these
