A most effective answer to the charge that adequate tariff
protection haa not aided American agriculture, is contained In the
above chart, taken from the October issue of T H E T A R I F F
R E V IE W
Under the Democratic Underwood T ariff Act. practically all agricul
tural products were either placed on the free liat or given Inadequate
rates of duty. 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.
Hence, despite 1-ighe' prices, protection

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.
