LcnrOot Shears Gooding
One Of the out-givings on the tariff
in the Senate debate, which attracted
attention, not. by any merit of it's own
but by reason of the statements It pro-
voked in disproof and conformation
was by Senator Goodlng (Rep., Ida
ho), on the wool schedule. The kind
of speech Senator Gooding delivered
may be inferred from tho fact that he
himself is a large wool-grower and
also by remarks of Senator Robinson
(Dcm., Ark.). to the effect that Sena-
tor Gooding had read his speech,
thereby showing his unfamillarity
with the subject.
The Gooding speech provoked COM
mont by Senator Lenroot (Rep., Wis.,
which is worthy OF serious attention.
The Wisconsin senator characterized
Senator Gooding as "unwittingly the
greatest enemy that the wool-grower
and farmer have today, because Of
the policies which he advocates" >"
Among other things, he said:
THE senator wants an embargo
upon everything that we produce, and
If that policy could be carried into ef-
feet he would strike a blow at every
wheat-grower in America, at every
farmer In America. He must have a
foreign market for his surplus. Where
does the senator think that Europe is
to get the money or the credits to
purchase the surplus wheat, corn and
agricultural products Of America II
we are going to build tariff wall so
high that nothing can come in with
which to pay for those products2
Tie Is willing he says that we put
tariff wall so high that Europe can
not=establish any credits here; that
Europe cannot pay us for any of our
surplus products. lie is willing to
drive Europe to Australia and to South
America TO purchase all OF It's wheat
Tie is willing that the one hundred
million or two hundred million bush.
els of surplus wheat produced in this
country shall not find any outle
abroad, and thus reiuco the domesti,
price OF wheat to 60 or 60 or rs cent
n bushel. That Is the Kind of a frlent
OF the farmer that the senator from
Idaho Is and the policy that he advo-
Gates; and what is true Of wheat /!
true OF other agricultural products"
