M'G|LL PANS HYDE
AS TARIFF BACKER
kansan Declares 1880 Act
Is Menace to Farmers
:, Instead of Help.

:. Holding the tariff law detrimental
to agriculture, Senator McGill, Demo-
crat, of Kansas, in a statement made
public today through the Democratic
National Committee, criticized Secre-
tary of Agriculture Hyde for praising
1t in his annual report.
The law was aSsailed as "a blight
upon those engaged in agricultural
pursuits. Notwithstanding the effusions
of the Secretary of Agriculture in his
annual report"
Scores Hyde's Stand.
Scoring Secretary Hyde for contend
/ ing the reduction Of SurpluSeS was
"the only logical course" McGill said:
Reduction of production of the ne
cessities of life is not a new argument
to those who seem to be willing TO
deny the American farmer the right
to foreign market in order to con-
tinue the gross inequalities Of the tariff
act of 1890 OF all those composing the
official staff Of the present administra-
fion who should know of the causes of
the plight in which the American
Farmer at this time finds himself and
pf the ruinous effects the Grundy-
Smoot- -Hawley tariff act has had upon
the basic industry of agriculture-iS
he Secretary of Agriculture.
The great majority of the farmers
bf the Nation are aware that the ma jor
ause of our economic collapse Is our
