SPENCE, Market Agent 723 Court House, Portland The tariff was originated as a sort of insurance against the com petition of aliens to raise their products to the price of our high er standard country, or to keep them out entirely. In a way it was a sort of a "bonus" to the farmers and manufacturers of this country. But the schedules do not act automatically, they do not rise or fall with changing conditions They rise by organization strength and political pull, and they seldom fall. And as the years go by they become one-sided, from the fact that organized interests keep rais ing the fence against their prod ucts, while agriculture, with little organization and few representa tives in coi.gress, has but a three rail barrier between it and the products of many countries where wages, standards and money keep going down. And' the result is that for the year ending June 30, 1923, there were brought into this country agricultural products aggregating the stupendous sum of $3,315, 000..000, while we only sold abroad (at prices less than pro duction cost) $1,927,000,000. All the Industries of our coun try, except agriculture, are pros perous,, and all pay good wages This condition is very largely due to unjusj favoritism of the tariff duties. Manufactured articles are very largely protected by combina tion strength, while more tnan three and a quarter BILLIONS of dollars of agricultural products are brought in here to add to the "surplus" this country produces; to break down further the ho.-ne prices of this surplus; to break dowL the wiige scale of farmers and to fores thousands more off the farms. If the protective tariff svstem farmer's dollar, is to Drevail in this nation then it i dear dollar to should "be impartial and just, that all industries be on the same level and the dollar of the farmer be worth as much as the dollar of the manufacturer. It tariff schedules are to protest those wh cannot compete with alien producers, then let these schedules be so ad justed that three and a quarter billions of dollars worth of Euro pean ai.d Asiatic products shall not be dumped onto the farmers of a country who are already al most buried under deflation Deflation, foreign importations, high freight and express rates mounting taxation and the middle interests are all against the farm ing industry, and the result is that it is forced to a different basis than the other business in terests of the country. While other Industries have protected themselves and boosted and main tained their prices in keeping with conditions, agriculture today pays 65 per cent more for what it forced to buy than it did before the war, and is selling' its products as low or lower than it did before the war. This condition forces unequal exchange value for an His is a mighty get and a very cheap one to buy with. Yet in 'the face of conditions that are daily forcing men from the farms, we import $36,000,000 ot dairy products. In the face ot tbe desperate condition of the cat tlemen we import $5,663,000 of meats.

It is not "calamity howling" to state these conditions, but rather to forestall future further calamity that id cer tain to result to other industries of our country if this unjust two standard system continues.

Their absence has a way of placing you in their minds. Your owning a MILESTONE tile home stuccoed may be but a passing commendation.
