COHFfDHed from FfTSt PGge
farm problem based on producing
more than we can sell.
"The true philosophy is that the
American market ought to belong to
the American farmer to the full eA-
tent Of his. ability to supply. think
the Republican platform on that sub
ject states the true doctrine"
Senator BOrah's contention Is sup
ported by George N. Peek, former
head Of AAA and also former for
eign trade adviser to President
Roosevelt, but now an outstanding
critic Of the New Deal.
The Administration" said Mr..
Peek. has proceeded 10 make trade
agreements with some IA countries
under which many important agri-
cultural tariffs have been substan-
TALLY reduced in direct disregard of
President ROOsevelt's pledge in his
Baltimore speech of October 26,
1882, when he said:
"'I know of no effective excessive
ly high duties on farm products. do
not intend that such duties shall be
lowered. To do so would be incon-
slstent with my entire farm pro-
grant,"
Explaining specifically how these
presidential tariff deducts affect Am
eriean agriculture, Mr.. Peek said
that between December. 1885. and
June. 1886. the price Of prime steers
in Chicago fell from $I3.25 a hun
dredweight TO 49, This he laid to the
Canadian reciprocal trade agree
ment. saying that in the first five
months OF 1885 this country import
ed $4,000 head of cattle. while in the
same period of 1886 impOrtatiOns
were 238,0OO.
'sYet Administration sPokesmen
would have you believe that the cat
lie concession in the Canadian trade
agreement has had a negligible effect
upon imports and domestic prices,
