Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 September 1906 — Falling Prices of Farm Products. [ARTICLE]

Falling Prices of Farm Products.

The price of wheat and oats is still falling, and yet these cerealß are protected by the tariff, with 25 cents a bushel on wheat and 15 cents a bushel on oats. Hqw does the tariff protect the farmer when the price of his products is not increased thereby or even made stable and the cost of everything he buys is vastly Increased by the trusts and combines, which are fo# tered and protected by the tariff? Will tbe farmers vote to stand pat at the coming election, when they elect congressmen and members of tbe legislature who will elect senators? To vote for Republicans means to continue the tariff plundering; to vote for Democrats means tariff revision.
