At the cooperative con- fab at
Denver Last week it was agreed
that ~ one measure OF relief in
wheat prices, congress would be
asked for . higher tariff duty,
which cSuseth US to exclaim, o,
rats! what . wise set of guys at
the head Of some Of our affairs.
An emergsncy tariff on wheat
was enacted at the extra ses-
sion in 1891, and then wheat
took . great big jump from the
minimum suasantee Of $3.50 to
80 cents. and has remained away
below the cost Of production
down to this day and genera
ton. The farmer Is not in Q po.
sitlon to take advantage OF tariff
laws, and the talk Of thus pro-
tecting him is simply to impale
him on the protection hook of
those who can take advantage of
such measures - the cslled
captains Of industry. Cooper
ative marketing may aelp the
fsrtn out, but . tariff on wheat
or Other farm products To stop
the leak in prices would be about
as effective as an umbrella over
q hotel to keep dead beats from
jumping their board bills.
