FARMERS PAY HALF
OF TARIFF BURDEN

AS the farmers of the United States
buy half of the products consumed
they will pay half of the enormous tax
which the Fordney-M cCumber bill i'm
poses on the American people for the
enrichment of the profiteers, for whom
it was primarily intended. H. E.
Miles, chairman Of the Fair Tariff
League, a protectionist organization
in statement to the Senate Finance
Committee, said of the tariff which
the Fordney1McCumber bill has put
on raw wool ito stimulate agricul-
ture"
"At SO cents per secured pound
duty (the rate of the Fordney-M Nc
Cumber bill), the cost to the public
will be S190,000,000, of which the
wool growers would get S79,200,000,
against which the farmers as a whole
would pay $99,0OO,000 and the rest of
the public an equal sum.
This estimate is extremely con-
sentative. A widely experienced
manufacturer has given yoa his esti-
mate that this S60,000,00O Of pro-
lection on wool protected by a duty
Of 20 cents a poundl would cost the
consumer S250,060,000. ~ Person
allv. | think the farmer would nay
S100000,000 to get his S6O,000,000.
"The farmer puts upon his own
back as much wool as he raises. He
is therefore only taxing himself He
also pays full wool duties on the 40
per cent. of cotton and 80 per cent. of
shoddy adulteration in the winter
alothing-another, say, s25,o00,000
loss"
