THE TARIFF

ELSEWHERE in this issue appears
~ a discussion of the tariff by the
non-partizan Washington Farmer. 1t
is clear concise statement Of facts.
and we believe our readers should
clip this article and save it as re-
ference.
In spite of our surplus last year,
wheat in the United States sold from
six to ten cents higher than it did in
the primary Canadian markets. This
year, wheat is selling for seventy-five
per cent more than it did in the sum-
mer Of 1914, before the war counter
acted the effect of the Wilson-Under-
wood tariff.
We have repeatedly heard that the
present tariff is not framed for the
benefit Of the farmer, that makers of
agricultural implements sell cheaper
in foreign lands, etc. and that you
can buy hay mower of any Ameri-
can make, in Canada cheaper than in
the United States. While it may be
true that certain manufacturers at
times dump their surplus at low pric-
es into foreign markets, is it not true
that the tariff makes this business
policy, or is it true that a tariff for
revenue only" ever stops this prac-
tice. It is lamentable however that
a large number of farmers do not
realize that the present tariff law is
not only the best tariff law for farm
ers that was ever enacted, but it is
q better law than the eastern con-
sumers will probably ever again al
low them to put on the statute books.

ducing the protection on American
manufactures. .a-~...- --..--- ..---.
The two methods and the issue be.
tween the two parties are best shown
in their tariff laws-the democratic
tariff act, known as the Wilson-Un
derwood law, and the present tariff
law, enacted when the republicans
came into power in 1921 and which
repealed the democratic Underwood
law.
In the present republican law farm
products are protected by substsn-
tial tax on imported farm products.
In the democratic tariff law, re-
pealed when the republicans returned
to power in 1921, foreign farm pro-
ducts were allowed to come into the
American markets without payment
of tariff tax or were admitted on
payment of tax considerably lower
than is now charged by the republi-
can tariff. The accompanying table
shows the policies of the two parties,
When the Wilson Underwood tariff
law was in effect democratic party
leaders contended that the American
farmers, all things considered, were
better off with their products unrro.
tected, for they were compensated
with reduced protection on manufac-
tured goods.
It is only fair to add that, while
the present republican tariff law pre-
vides pretty high protection all along
the line-for manufactured mercnan-
disc as well as farm products it
does put upon the free list and per-
mits to be imported without any tar
riff tax, many things that the FARM
er buys. In this free list are agri-
cultural implements. animals imported
for breeding purposes, binding Irvine,
all kinds of coal coffee. fertilizers,
crude rubber, boots, shoes, crude pc
troleum and fuel oil, all barbed wire,
whether plain or galvanized, arsenic
for insect pests. bananas, house brick,
Portland cement, gloves, shingles and
numerous other commodities. - -
For our part, we never have be-
come excited over this tariff contro-
versy, but after the home markets
were invaded by foreign food pro-
ducts in 1921 we supported the de-
mand of various farm organizations

T" people do not get so used to
high taxes that they begin to like
them. Anyway we have observed
several occasions when certain organ
izations have gone on record in favor
of legislation that meant nothing TO
them except increased taxes.
One glowing example OF this phil
anthropic desire to pay more taxes
and get nothing in return, was
sprunr on us when the Pomona
Grange of Benton County endorsed
the Bone Bill. Why in the world a
granger on this side of the mountain
wants to allow Seattle to take more
property off the tax rolls is beyond

THE TARIFF PLANKS IN THE
NATIONAL PARTY PLATFORMS
A Clear Exposition of How the Tariff Effects
the Producer by the Washington Farmer

THE two major parties have held
L their national conventions and pm,
out their platforms for 1924. They
differ in number of ways, particu.
larly upon the tariff question. Or
that issue the platform adopted by
the recent republican convention says:
1--WE reaffirm our belief in pro.
tective tariff to extend needed pro.
lection to our productive industries
We believe in protection as a national
policy, with due and equal regard to
all sections and to agriculture, indus
tries and occupations" IL r.Sr5aa B
According to that statement, the
republican party is for tariff for
protection as we'll as a tariff for
revenue. E-aE
The opposing tariff plan of the
democratic platform, adopted last
week at New York, says: eve declare
our party's position to be in favor
of tax on commodities entering the
customs house that will promotes eff
fective competition, protect against
monopoly and at the same time pro-
duce a fair revenue to support the
government"
When that declaration is anaiyzed
it seems to mean that the democratic
party believe in tariff that will be
low enough to invite the active COM
ing in of foreign manufacturers and
farm products, as the platform puts
it, "that will promote effective COM
petition and protect against mono
poly"
This is equivalent to what has been
called "tariff for revenue only"
Both republican and democratic
parties avow purpose to help Amer
lean manufacture and producers, hut
their methods are different. The re-
publican policy is to make it difficult
for foreign farm products and mel
cliandise to come into competition
with American products and merch-
andise.
The democratic plan is to put the
American manufacturers in sharp
competition with their foreign COM
petitors, and then compensate the
American manufacturers by allowing
them to import free raw materials
without payment of a tariff tax and
satisfy the American farmers by re-
