The Underwood Tariff and the Farmer During the lfCfet three months of 1912 under PROTECTIVE TARIFF we imported 112,000 head of cattle, 253.» 000 bushels of corn, 13,600 bushels of oats, 865,000 pounds of fresh meats, and 41,000 bushels of potatoes. During the same period of 1913, under FREE TRADE, we brought in 341,000 head ,of cattle, 4,450,000 bushels of corn, 13,320,000 bushels of oats, 35,500,000 pounds, of freshi meat, and 2.800,000 bushels of potatoes. The price to the consumer was hot reduced one cent, but the National Treasurer lost $7,943,000 and the American farmer lost almost three times that amount.

The Farmer Demands a Tariff and Gets a Tax , The National Grange 1 at its 42nd session said: Whatever the policy of the Government may be, the farmers of the United States demand that, as far as possible, such measures of direct benefit therefrom as is given to manufacturers or any other industries of the country shall also be accorded to agriculture.” So it was under Republican Tariff Laws. Below is presented the record of Democratic Free Trade in Farm Products; 31% War Taxes Paid to Replace Revenue Lost on Changes in Farm Products Schedule.
