TWO PRICES.

How the Indiana Farmer is Swindled. Under (toe Republican Tariff-Extract From Senator Voorhce*' Speeoh In ttw Soonte, Sept. 3. How dares the American manufacturer compel the American farmer to pay him $65 for a mower which ho sells in South America for S4O, or S9O for a feed-cutter which he sells in the Argentine Republic for S6O? The following table discloses in brief space the increase of prices in the protected home market, where the farmer is compelled to buy, over the natural and honest prices of the same articles in foreign markets, where it has no protection and needs none:
