MELONS FARM AID
STAND is DENOUNCED
BY REPRESENTATIVE

out of IoVa the other day is merely
the sheet lightning Of the coming
storm.
Burdens placed upon them by the
Fordney McCumber tariff act. the arbl-
trary wage scales Of labor. the Adam
son eight hour railroad labor law and
the immigration act. he said, have
been borne by the farmers without
audible complaint" because they were
"said to he necessary for the protec-
ton Of industry and labor"
And now" he went on, Secretary
Mellon has the effrontery to demand
that not only shall the farmer con-
tinue to carry these enormous bur-
dens, hut that he shall also continue
to feed the consumers Of this country
as cheaply as those Of Europe are fed.
cainst whose cheaper merchandise
and laborers the tariff and the immi-
grafton act have erected n Chinese
wall of exclusion. The cruelty OF this
suggestion is astounding.
Assailing the opinion that the
| euualizat ton fee would increase costs
TO consumers. he said, IF the pro,
| posed Federal Farm Board should
collect through the -four mills of the
country fee Of 10 cents a bushel on
wheat To make up the loss on the eX-
| portable surplus, and If the Houf
mills In turn subtract this fee from
the current price paid to the farmer.
then by what stretch of the ina gina
ton does the Secretary assert that
| it will be paid by the consumer.
Position OF Consumer.
"If it is a crime to charge the con-
| sumers of this country reasonably
higher price for food as well as in
dustrial products than the consum-
ers Of Europe pay" he, continued
then is 1t not a greater crime 10
! force the 35.000.00O people who live
upou the farms to absorb their fuu
share of the tremendous burdens ok

out the slightest offset against these
| burdens? In this connection the
suggestion that foreign industrial
costs would be lowered through the
! Haucen bill is absolutely untrue. for
| Europe would continue to buy tts
| food at the world price level. as it
does now. and has in the past.
Ever since the Civil War the farm
ers of most of the great grain belt
States have supported the protective
system, not because they believed
| that IL meant anything to them di-
rectlv. but because industry insisted
| that it had right to fair price in
| The home market. and also because
| by this means our labOring men
| would he protected against the So
called 'pauper labor of Europe.
/ And now, when out of the agony
| of hundreds of thousands of foreclOsed
farm homes and the wreckage Of
several thousand erstwhile prosperous
country banks, the farmer asks that
the Republican party shall play
square with him and make the tariH
mean 10 him what 1t means to in
dustry and labor, and when. in addf-

clusion, which simply stated. that it
was far more, reasonable to acquit a

Congratulations on his humane
equity reached the judge from all
parts of the world, but officially his
Judgment could not be accepted with
out protest. The public prosecutor
appealed the acquittal. but so great
an outcry followed both from the pub
lie and the Parliament that the ap-

the acquittal prevented his being pro-
