From a Democratic Authority Secretary of Agricluture Redfield, in a speech before the Chamber of Commerce at Hamilton, 0., on February 24th, 1914, gave an illustlflion of the operation of the Undeiwood tariff law, which illustration is enough to condemn it. He said: ••For example, take the last three months of isl and the last three months of 1913. In the, former we Imported 112,000 C&tUe; in the latter, 341,000. “In the former we brought In 253,000 bushels of corn, In the latter, 4,450,000 bushels. * ‘•ln the former, 13,600 bushels of oats; In the latter, 13,280,000 bushels. ■•ln the same period of l9ia.-865.000 pounds of fresh meat; In 1913, 33,500,000 pound*.” How will the farmer fare when this spotted prosperity—“spotted and stained”—is over by reason of the closing of hostilities abroad ? Isn’t it the guidance of “safety first” to build a reasonable protective tariff law before the protective wall of the European war totters and falls. Let us guarantee a permanent prosperity through our own upbuilding policy o i the Protective Tariff, rather than only as a transient prosperity resulting from war conditions abroad and sure.to end with the declaration of peace. - (
