WHO WILL FEED TIE RARY1
How the New Ttariff Bill Will Iniure
the Farming Industry

Under the appropriate heading:
"Who viii Feed the Baby?" Hon. w
A. McRae, Florida's commissioner of
agriculture, tells in remarkable lang
uage how the new proposed tariff bill
will help TO paralize the farming in
dustry of the country and especially
Of the South.
Commissioner McRae says:
1T is proposed by the tariff bill now
before congress, with prospects of its
passing. that new Infant Industry,

the farmers. 1t is generally under.

In effect the bill proposes to pen

who have just raised two crops at a
loss, for trying to reach maximum
production with greatest efficiency.
A sliding scale of tariff on potash is
proposed that will mean that millions
of dollars annually must be poured in
TO the subsidized potash producers of
the United States by the farmers ex-
clusively.
when tax is placed on CONNER
cial business or manufacturing, the
tax is merely passed on to the ulti-
mate consumer. and the consuming
public pays it. This cannot be done
by the farmer. He does not mark his
goods with a cost price and selling
price and hold till he gets it. Neither
does he send out paid drummers to
take orders for goods before they are
made so that he can calculate cost
and add the profit before a wheel
turns, as do manufacturers. He takes
chances on the weather, insects and
fungi as to production and goes into
the market asking, what will you
give?" How can he pass on to the
consumer special tax? Not at all.

the United States has been from S1OO

The sun is a great drying agent,
