THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF Governor Wilson has indicated in the speeches he ’--.s made thus far in tne campaign that he attaches a great deal of importance to the question of the tariff as it affects farmers. The democratic candidate put this whole question into a nut shell when he said: "The farmer does not derive any benefits from the tariff when he goes to marekt to sell his prod ucts. but on everything the farmer buys there is an artificially high price, due to the tariff tax." High protectionists in congress have for many years deceived the farmers into believing that because a tariff was kept on wheat and corn, the termer was necessarily benefitted thereby. That this is false logic is apparent to any student of American import and export statistics. This country produces more wheat and corn that the American people consume, which obviously makes it impossible for any foreign country to sell wheat or corn here. Europe, which is the great market for surplus American grain, uses all the grain produced there tor home consumption, and in addition, the European countries have to send over here for more. If there were no tariff at all on grain, therefore, the American farmer would not be menaced by the possibility of foreign competition, for the reason that foreigners have no grain to sell. But the situation is vastly different with the farmer when he comes to buy the tools, machinery, clothing and other necessities of life. He finds every article that he uses in producing his crops taxed higher and higher, until, as Governor Wilson says.

“It is getting to be next to impossible for tbe America* farmer to make a legitimate profit.” The farmers' implements, their smaller tools, wagons, household articles, clothing, lumber and harvesting machinery have steadily risen in price. That this rise in price has been due to artificial causes is proven by the fact that the identical articles used by the American farmer are sold abroad for from twenty-five to forty per cent less. B. D. Townsend, in his report to President Roosevelt on the Harvester trust, reported that the same harvesting machines that were made by the trust in Chicago, and sold to the American farmer for $125, are sold in Russia for $0 and S9O. Nothing but the tariff enables the trust to thus rob the American farmer, because, if it were not for the tariff, the danger of competition from Canada would force the American trust to sell its machines for one price to all. Governor Wilson has shown a deep grasp of the tariff question at it affects the farmer, and it is certain that before the campaign is much older he will have some illuminating things to say to the farmer on this vital subject.
