TARIFF BAD FOR
HOOS|ER FARMER,
DEMOCRAT SAYS
Evans WooIIen Analyses e.
feet Differently From
Coolidge.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
~ RUSHVILLE, Ind, Aug. 81
Evans Woollen, Democratic nominee
for the Senate, spoke here on the
Fordney- McCumber tariff act, advo.
eating downward revision, with spe'
cial reference to the things the
farmer buys.
Speaking of President Coolidge's
defense of the act before the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, Mr.
Woollen said: 1.-THE President
claimed that the list of commodities
on which no tariff was laid was
made especially to favor the farm.
err. He pointed out that the free
list includes such essential commodi-
ties as farm machinery, barbed wire
and fertilizer.
Not for Indianians
~ "That is true. but it is also true
that these commodities are not i'm.
ported either by or for the Indiana
farmer He does not buy his ma
chinery, barbed wire or fertilizer
abroad. 1t makes no difference to
him If they are on the free list. Put
ting them on the free list was a ges
ture, pretense.
there is a high tariff on the steel,
from which the American manufac.
turer makes farm machinery. Be-
cause of that tariff the manufacturer
has to pay more for his materials
and the additional cost goes into the
prices the farmer pays for plows,
binders, drills, harrows and other
equipment.
The farmer does not pay a tariff
on machinery he does not import,
but he does pay tariff on the ma
terials in the machinery he buys
from the American manufacturer.
So with barbed wire. So with fer
,ilizer, which, to be sure, is on the
rec list, but ammonia nitrate, potas-
sfum compounds and sodium sui
plate are not on the free list. The
high tariff on these ingredients make
the cost of them greater and so
make fertilizer cost more.
l.
value Of imported commodities on
which tariff is laid are farm
products and that was intended to
favor the farmer. Yes. to favor
some farmers, notably the growers
of sugar cane and sugar beets.
Hard On HOOsiers
Where does the Indiana farmer
come in? He comes in by having
to pay two cents a pound more for
his sugar. Likewise the growers of
figs, lemons, oranges, grapefruit,
are favored by tariffs. Again the
Indiana farmer comes in by having
to pay more for these products.
THE President at Chicago did not
state all the facts necessary to a

sound conclusion about the Ford
ney-McCumber tariff law as 1t af-
fects agriculture. The farmer gets
little advantage and pays much.
"He pays a tariff on his crockery,
tinware and glassware; on his
carpets and rugs; on his paint,
harness, buckles and nails; on his
dynamite and fertilizer. He pays a
tariff on the iron, steel and alumni.
mum that go into his equipment.
He pays a tariff on his clothing, be
1t of cotton. wool or silk.
"In a word. the tariff works
against the Indiana farmer. 1t will
not work for him. 1t raises the
prices Of the things he buys. 1t
does not raise the prices of the
things he sells"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-08-27

cerned, it is positively necessary
that you die.
Here is how the pastor Of local
church figures it out:
Beginning at the time of Christ
with 3O0,000,000 people alive then,
and figuring that the population
doubles every fifty years, there
would now be 412,316, $3.50, 416, 900. 200
persons inhabiting the globe.
Considering the earth's surface,
$4,000, 900 square miles, of which To-
600, 900 is not inhabitable, that would
be a population of 10,307,921 to the
square mile.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-08-27
