t'OOUXU THE riKMEUS.
The American Free-Trade League
has just sent out an article under the
heading' "How protection Fools the
Farmer," one paragraph of. which,
contrary to most ol the articles sent
out, contains some figures and posi
tive assertions. This paragraph Is
as follows :
Probably a majority of farmers,
especially In the Northern, Eastern
aud Western states, believe firmly in
the protective system, which is the
parent and support of monopolies
and their aggregate trust; and they
do so in' spite of the patent fact that
only In this way can the prices of
commodities they buy be unduly
raised against them. On account of
the tariff-protected trusts, prices of
all the trust goods have been largely
advanced; aud there Is no avoidance
except by knocking out the trust un
derpinning, the prjtectlve tariff,
which the especially victimized
farmers regard as sacred. - Cau' they
never learn that advance In price of
things they buy Is the same iu effect
as a decree by the trusts that- wheat
shall be, say, 25 a bushel; outs 15;
potatoes 10 ceut; hops 6 ceuts per
pound; and wool 6 cents r pound?
He must take what he cau get for
his productions In a free-trade mar
ket, and suffer any trust extortion
imposed upon him. Need he ex
press any surprise that at the close of
bis fiscal year he cannot make ends
meet?" .
Here are five sentences and at
least ten false statements. No oue
believes the assertions of the second
part of the first sentence, i ot even
the man who wrote them. A part
of the second seutence we repeat:
On accouut of tfie tariff protected
trusts prices ot all the trust goods
have been advanced more than 60
per ceut.
It will be noticed that this differs
very materially from the way it
reads where we first . quoted it. And
yet both sentences belong lo the
Free-Trade League, which In this
same article uses. sometimes oue sen
tence, sometimes the other. This is
an old free-trade trick of changing
statements to fit different localities.
It waa done iu Ihe Polk campaign of
1844, and again iu the second Cleve
land campaign of 1892.
But whether the claim Is -that
prices of so-called trust goods have
been "largely" advanced, or ad
vanced "more than 50 perceut," it is
false In either case. It is true that
prices of commodotlcs range some
what higher than during the time of
the Gorman-Wilson Free-Trade per
iod. First, the commodity labor Is
very much higher. All products of
the farm are higher, and so are iron
and steel products. Ou the othe r
hand, many things are cheaper, so
that the average cost of living is but
little more than, say, six or seven
years age. But the net cost is much
lower, and not an honest man in the
country will deny it. We presume
that Mr, F. W. Davenport, of .Ore
gon, who wrote the article, had In
mind the higher price of steel rails
and similar products. Well, for the
sake of argument, let us suppose
that steel rails have been advanced
'more than 60 per cant." Is the
farmer paying any higher freight
charge-? No, he is paying less than
ever before aud leas lor his tickets
when he took his family t ) the Pan
American. But let u suppose again
for the sake of argument that the
farmer hea had lo pay 1100 more for
certain things he has bought. Mr.
Davenport tells us that "in effect"
this meaua for bim only 25 cents a
bushel for his wheat, 15 cent for his
oats, 10 ceot for his pott3, 6 cent
for bis hops and 6 cents for hi wool.
Now the farmer is getting 60 renti
for his wheat, 3D cents for bis oats,
60 rents fi bis pa ta tots, 20 cents for
his hop aud 25 ceuts for his wool.

Now just a little figuring will nhow
whether the farmer is a fool or the
man who makes such Hatements.
We find that 100 bushels of wheat,
100 bushels of potatoes, 100 bushels
of oats, aud a few bops and a little
wool (even at Mr. Davenport's own
price, as compared with the real
price) will pay for the (100 extra
that the farmer bas had to pay for
ail he has bought. But here remain
thousands and thousands of bushels
of grain and potatoes for which he
cau get the biggest prices of his lite,
In other words, agalost that (100 the
farmer is getting from (1,000 up, and
wheatever Mr. Davenport and the
Free-Trade League think, the farm
ers thiuk iu a pretty good bargaio,
aud that's why a majority of them
"believe firmly in the protective sys
tem," to quote again from tho arti
cle. Furthermore, the farmer is not
"taking what he cau get" ho is
getting what be asks, ami he is ask
ing a good atiff price, and the con
sumer is willing to pay it, for ho is
getting good, high wages for steady
work. Nor is the farmer expressing
any "surprise that at the end of tho
year he cannot make ends meet."
He is from (5,000,000,000 to (7,000,-
000,000 better off today than he was
en 1890. Ilia mortgages are cancel
ed, bis farm Is well stocked, his bank
book shows a good balance, and his
Christmas tree was so loaded down
that the branches touched the floor.
Under theae conditions Mr. Daven
