Addresses Farmers at Williams Grove, Pa., In Support of Tariff Plank. i ’ ' Williams Grove, Pa., Aug. 30.—Gov. Woodrow Wilson fired his opening gi* n here in his campaign for the presidency. Addressing the farmers gathered here for the meeting of the Pennsylvania State Grange, the Democratic nominee appealed for support upon the tariff plank in his platform. He promised economic reforms not only beneficial to the farmers but to all. He said in part: “If our markets are not multiplied and our doors are not thrown open, I do not see how the farmer and most of the rest of us are to avoid being overwhelmed by the rising tide of domestic prices. We are told that priced are rising the world over, but if you will look Into the matter you will find that it is not so. They are rising In high tariff countries, but not in low tariff countries.”
