SOUTH AMERICAN OILS
ARE ACTIVE ON CURB

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.--The South
American oils were the leaders in
activity in the curb market today
Recent developments In the Vene.
zuelaf oil fields have been very
satisfactory to the American oil
companies and number Of excel
lent producers have been opened up.
Carib Syndicate continued to lead
this group today, reaching new
high at 18N; Leonard OIL moved
up to a new high at 1115 Lago PEE
troielim and Lago Oil and Trans.
port were active at current prices.
Prairie Oil and Gas advanced IL
TO 81 new high at 58ss South Penn
Oil moved up s points to 100:
Vacuum OIL up IL to 1864, and
STANDARD Of Indiana up point to
671s.
The Industrial and utility stocks
were irregular, though most Of the
price changes represented moderate
gains. The strength Of the motor
and speciality stocks on the big
board" stimulated some measure or
outside buying in various sections
OF the curb market.
Money conditions were also con-
ducive to stronger tone in the
stock market. Stocks Of the eiec.
trio power companies were in de-
mand, with Lehigh up about 4
points, and American Gas and EIec-
trio up III. The refrigerator,
radio and rubber stocks were mac
tive and slightly irregular.

Recent developments in local fl

the problem of handling certain

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF

Democratic politicians may rave about what
the "robber' tariff does to the poor former, but
they can't get away from these facts:
In 1925, our total imports were worth $4,227,-
$4,000.
Of this total, commodities valued at $685.
100000, or 62.7 per cent, came in under the free
list.
Dutiable goods imported were valued at ST.
575,975,OOO.
Of these, S28O,O4O,OOO worth were ~luxuries and
nOn-essentials of no particular interest to either
the agricultural or the industrial population.
Of the remainder, there were:
Agricultural products valued at $685. log, 900
which were subject to tariff for the protection
of the farmer and
Industrial products worth $3.50, 761, 900 which
were subject to tariff for the protection of the
manufacturer.
From these figures, which are official, it would
appear that protective tariff was collected on
$174,4O5,OO 0 more of agricultural products than
on industrial products.
In other words, the farmer got by far the
longer end of the protection provided by our pre-
sent tariff law against cheap foreign competitive
products.
On the other hand, the farmers interest as a
consumer does not appear in more than 1872 per
cent of the total of dutiable imports. These he
was not able to buy at the imported price plus
duty, because American importers and middlemen
raised the price to the farmer to the domestic
level. This rise in price would have been the
same had the imported products in question come
in free.
Therefore it is plain that as a consumer, the
burden placed upon the former by the tariff is
virtually negligible, while as a producer, the pro
t%ective accorded him, directly and indirectly, is
great.
The foregoing figures speak for themselves
Look them over again, do a little thinking, ami
then decide whether the Democratic statement
that the present tariff law protects only tn,
manufacturer is correct.

FORECASTS STRONG,
PROGRESSIVE POLICY

WASHINGTON, D. C-The APP
pOintment of Albert C. Williams as
chairman of the federal. farm loan
commission points to the adoption of
a strong and progressive policy in
the administration of the system.
Both the federal farm loan and the
federal intermediate credit systems
r Of vital Importance to American
agriculture. Although the federal
farm loan system has been in opera
ton less than 10 years, the federal
and joint stock land banks up to the
present time have made loans Of ap-
p~rOximately $4,000 900 900.
In the even shorter period Of their
existence the federal intermediate
credit banks have served agriculture
in an effective way by making loans
for agricultural purposes aggregating
over $3OO,OOO,OOO.
Nh. Williams brings to this posi-
ton a first-hand knowledge Of agri-
culture and a sympathetic interest in
its needs. He has been closely as
sOciated with the livestock interests
of the country, as an official of the
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Rails
ers' association, as president OF q

lenium, let US see what the congress

only nine (Ashurst, BrattOn, Cara

IOWA REPUBLICANS
ENDORSE COOLIDGE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Iowa Re-
publicans in state convention assem-
bled have endorsed the Coolidge adj
ministration and its achievements IN
tax and debt reductions, and in in
creasing governmental efficiency.
Iowa Republicans, as was their FighS,
have set forth in the same endorse
ment their regret that the president
does not see eye to eye with them in
the matter Of farm relief, having in
mind particularly the McNary-
Haugen bill. But even this portion
of the resolution is, cOuched in reason
able language and the confidence is
expressed that at the December ses-
sion of congress the president will
reach AN understanding of the jus,
tice Of their views.
The immediate result Of this action
on the part of the IOwans has been
to create a new note Of c~heerfulness
throughout the. country. It has also
ccnfounded at first hand the pro-
phets who with Democratic urging
have been limiting and declaring that
the Republicans in Iowa were about
to turn their back on the administra-
tiOn.
The president is for the stabilize
ton of agricultural conditions. He
has made this plain in private con.
~versations with senators and repre-.
~sentatives and publicly through
statements uttered by the white
house spokesman. He is not the maj
who having started the plough in the
furrow turns back or leaves it hall
way down the field. Back of The
resolutions adopted in Iowa can b'
noted a confidence in the president
and a belief in his sincerity in Tho
search for a genuine and sound rem
edy for farm ills. The agriculture
! problem has not been set to One side
1T has not even been postponed. A
White Pine camp even to-day, tn
president is working over a solution
to meet the desires of the real agri
culturists of the country, and tn
Iowa endorsement gives him new
strength in his efforts.

ALCOHOLIC DEATHS INCREASE

An increase of 600 per cent in deaths due to
alcoholism for the first six months of this wear
as compared with the like period of 1920, when
the VOlstead act became operative, is shown bv
averages compiled by the Metropolitan Life In
surance company for its 100000 Industrial
policy holders.
The increase for the first six months of 1925
as compared with the same period of 1926 was
about % per cent, the figures show. The report
also indicates that five times as many people
die from alcoholism in "dry" United States than
in comparatively wet Canada. The figures.
while based on data regarding only the MetropoH-
tan's 100000 policy holders, are considered bv
statisticians as a fair index of the general situa-
ton.
For the first six months of this year. deaths
due to alcoholism represented SO per cent of every
100000 policy holders, while in 1920 the percent
age was only 6. Since 1920 there has been ,
steady increase. In 1921 the figure was s. per
cent; in 1922 it was 81; in 1928 it was 8:in 1921
it was 28 and in 1925 It was %.
From January /, 1922, 70 April i, 1926. there
were 1926 deaths from alcoholism ia the United
