THE DAILY DEMOCRAT.
A FAItMKli ON THE TAH!FP
All sorts of iil'jocti are discussed at the
gatherings, of the Chautauqua isemblv.
and there U a great variety of view a
well as of topic. Last week the McKiiv
ev tciifl in it relation to fanners was the
thiMiie of a difcCiWfcion by a Pennsylvania
farmer, lion. Gerard C. Urown, lecture
of the l'cnnsvlania state cranLtf f H-e
Patrons of Husbandry.
Mr Urown (.aid the "heme maiket' Mr
farm products, which va the u.ii: ihat
caught the farmers' vo:e for pruttxtl'.;
not materialized, eve: v tiling which tiue
farms nrodi.ee now M.'.lin Ur a lower
price than bef' ire the ctab;Uhmem ol the
tnanufacturir.i; enlei i v. hich tlic
farmers have o taxi J them wives to sup
port. As a rcimrtv for the i'.jjricultura
depression uhieh exUta under alleged
proteclion" of the farmer, Hitc:ct i bv
high tariff, the .McKinlev hill iro:i.-ifc
more pro:ec:in by still higher tariff
probably on the principle of "a hair of the
ilog that bit you." This if the fanners'
part in the Mc&hiley biil as suir.iuaiized
by Mr Brown ;
First An increase cf 50 per cent, duty
on live animals imported.
Second An increase of 50 to 100 per
cent, on app!e, barley, b-ans, cabbages,
cg. fruit, hay, hides, honey, hops, unions,
potatoes, seeds, straw and tobacco; a
double duty on lard, ham, mutton and
me;a of all kinds, on milk, butter, cheese
and dairy products, with a higher rate n
wool, accompanied by a still higher tax on
all manufacturers, of wcol.
Third Raw sugar, free lift; rates on re
fined retained, rice reduced.
Fourth Morb tl an 100 per cent, in
crease on tinplate. on sulphuric acid and
phosphatic fertilizers, and a general in
crease of tax on the whole line of manu
facturers.
Mr Crown wonders now any such a
scheme of raising the tariff on farm pro
ducts, of w hich we produce a great surplus,
as an off-set to the enhanced cost of pro
duction under a tariff which raises the ,
pi ice of all o'.her commodities, can impose
on any intelligent farmer or any man out
side of the asylum. Examining the mcst
prominent items briefly he say :
As to animals, on which the dutv is to
be more than doubled with the avowed ob
ject of shutting them out of the country,
the result would be that we would simply
have to pay more for breeding animals,
which constitute the most important part
of the importation .
As to oats and barley, the effect, if any,
would be merely in th: counties bordering
on Canada. We did buy these 22,324
bushels of oats, but we sold 624,266 bushe
and raised 6S,ooo times as many bushels
as we bought. The barley we must have,
as our brewers agree, in order to brew the
best of beer, and so far as tbeer is necces
sary at all, 90 far we must have the barley
grown north of the lakes, as none can
compete with it in quality.
The duty on hides askei for by the com
mittee will notbeputon.owingtoa whole
some dread of the New England vote, but
if it were, would mainly benefit the -'Big
Four of Chicago, while making dearer to
cfery person on the farm or elsewheie
shoes, gloves, harness, belting, leather, etc.
The farmer who kills his own beef might
gain 25 cents, which would not pay the in
creased price of a pair of boots.
As to the higher tariff on wool w hich
will undoubtedly be clapped on for a simi
lar reason than that, on hides will b; re
ected (there are supposed to be about a
million voting shepards in the country.) it
will make dearer hats, clothes, blankets
and carpets for everybody. The rich will
not feci this as much as the poor, a the
rates on the fine woolens which they can
afford are but two-thirds of those on the
lower grade goods commonly worn; be
sides, they can troop over to Europe every
season, more than paving their traveling
expenses by purchasing th-;lr wearing ap
parel there.
It may benefit the great sheep ranches
of the southwest and the breeders of blood
ed rams, but the utmost possible benefit to
the farmer of the estt w ith ht little flock
of twenty or thirty sheep, will be more
than offset by the certainly Increased coft
O' the fit st suit of clothes or bedroom car
pi! that he buys.
It will probably wind up most of the sur
viving woolen faclorics,sixty-cight of them
having failed in Pennsylvania alone in
thirteen months; In which case it cannot
but lower the price of wool by decreasing
the number of buyers.
As the home market :annot begin to use
up what the farmer produces Mr Jircwn
points out ihe absurdity of the argument
that it needs a taiiff to choke off foreign
competition. Evidently the farmers have
been doing a heap of thinking and some of
them arc getting ready to act. Cleveland
Pl.tiiuftal'r.
Mr Wharton Parker, leader of the
Pennsylvania antl Delamater republicans,
has received a letter from S C Pall, of
Bucks county, in which he says : "I have
noticed several accounts of your move
incnts against bosMm, and have fully de
termined to exert my influence in what 1
deem to be the proper course fur our fann
er republicans. 1 traversed out township
( Buckingham) and obtained tle !ii.uik-
ijf over 400 republican out of a posiM
475 tar Hastings liill.en hint our tk-le-
ate entirely under his thumb, nd they
declined even to look at the firu d p, l:
lion. I know of over iuo republicans who
wiil nvt support Pelamater under urn-
pretext whatever. Cu1 county ticket :s
doomed this fall by Quad's dict.itniial
manrc.."
