The farmers’ free list, proposed by the democratic members of the house as a companion piece to the reciprocity bill, was designed purely for campaign purposes/’ The list was prepared without scientific investigation. The free list is simply political bumcombe, designed to catch the public fancy. If the responsibility of revising the tariff rested with the democratic majority of the house the list would be speedily revised. That the list was prepared without thought of a tariff law’s obligation in raising revenue is proved by a report from the treasury department. The democratic measure, as now offered seriously for the people’s attention, would cost the government about $10,000,000 in revenues. It is obvious that the democratic leaders of the house prepared the farmers free list without the slightest thought to the revenue feature of a tariff law. The free list, now held out as a promise of what the democratic party would do if in power, is impractical and indefensible. That is should be proposed at this time shows conclusively that the democratic party should not be entrusted with tariff legislation. If the democratic leaders of the house are merely joking, that is if they are holding out the promise of an extensive free list w’hen none is intended, they are resorting to demagogy of the most despicable nature. On the other hand if they have proposed the farmers' free list, really believing it to be an intelligent tariff solution, they prove their own incompetency. In either event the democratic party does not gain endorsement as an authority on the tariff question. Making a tAriff law is a serious problem. The people don’t wish to be fooled with demagogy and they can’t have faith in a promise that ignores the revenue of the tariff. The farmers’ free list is either the result of demagogy or incompetency. —Lafayette Journal.
