Under the existing Republican protective law. these items have been placed on the protected list with very subetantial rates or duty. Im ports of agricultural products amounted to 54.6 Per cent of all imports Into the United States during the life of the Underwood Act but have dropped to 46.3 per cent of the total imports under the Fordney McCumber Act. O f more Importance than thia, evln, is tha fact that the agricultural product« which compete directly with American grown produce have dropped from 357 per cent of the total under the Underwood Act to only 23.2 per cent under the present protective meaeure. In the fiscal year ending June 3(3 1921. a year when farm prices were at rock bottom, agricultural Imports were valued at 81,942,000.000 and of this amount, products valued at 81.365.000.000 were in direct competition with American ' farm products. This meant that 81.365,000.000 worth of American farm products were displaced In the home market because of foreign I competition. In 1927. with much higher prices than in 1921, agricultural imports ’ were valued at $1 875.000,000 and com’'eri»:ve agricultural imports totaled on’v $879 000,000.

Opponents of the protective tariff have repeatedly asserted that it does not have any effect upon the American farmer. The above chart is the most conclusive evidence that the tariff does aid the farmer, provided it is high enough to enable him to compete in the home market with cheap foreign farm products. On March 7, 1924 President Coolidge proclaimed an increase in the duty on wheat and wheat flour. The effect on imports was im mediate, as can be seen on the chart, the average monthly imports of wheat dropping from nearly 2.000,000 bushels under “ he old rata of 30 cents a bushel to slightly more than 1,100,000 bushels under the new rate of 42 cents a buaheL I t la also interesting to note, in this tame connection, that for the last seventeen months of the Democratic Underwood T ariff Act, when wheat was on the free list the average monthly importationa were more than 3,200.000 bushels, which meant that exactly 3.200,000 bushels of American wheat was being displaced each month in the American market by th- product of foreign farmers. ' W heat flour waa admitted duty free under the Underwood com petitive tariff law and for the last seventeen months of ita life over 18.000.000 pounds of wheat flour were imported a month. W ith a duty of 78 cents per 100 pounds the importationa dropped to 5.057.000 pounds a month and when the duty became 1.04 per 100 pounds the imports practically ceased. Butter paid a duty of two and a half cents a pound under the Underwood tariff law and the average imports for the last year and five months of that measure were 2,874,000 pounds a month. Im portations dropped to 1,382,985 pounds a month when the duty was increased to right cents and have averaged only 584.137 pounds a month under an increased rate of twelve cents a pound. Certainly, even a casual study of the above facts, indicates that adequate tariff protection has been beneficial to and does help the American farmer. Indeed, the evidence shows that the real need is not for lowering the tariff, but for increasing rates where the evidence show» «hat American farmers are being injured through foreign competition. !
