Likely enough, the Oregon farmer I and dairymen, who has been face to face with the disturbances and de moralization of his own market through free trade in foreign butter, will appreciate the following copious extract from a recent speech in Con gress by Representative Hamilton, of Michigan: | In a speech recently made at Bing ham, Me., ex-Governor» Ferna'd, of Maine, speaking from an intimate knowledge of conditions, declared that Maine dairy farmers are losing $7000 a day. Governor Fernaid owns a creamery, and in March 1913, he was paying farmers 33 cents a pound for butter fat, but in March 1914, under the new tariff law, the price of butterfat was forced down by Canadian competi tion to 23 cents a pound, and the far mer stands the loss. Governor Eernald told his audience that in one day he counted 29 car loads of Canadian hay at Danville, on their way to Boston, and ever since ' the new tariff law was passed the Maine farmer has been receiving $2.50 1 less a ton for hay than theretofore, and the importer takes the profit and ' the farmer and the Treasury stands 1 the loss. I The Michigan Manufacture and Fi nancial Record says: I "Michigan farmers are up in arms over the injury done the dairy inter ests by the new tariff law. The bot tom has dropped out of the market for dairy products and prices have lowered about one-third in the last three months. “ ‘ Cream, or butterfat, butterfat has dropped ....... from $1 90 from 32 to 22 cents; milk \° PAr hundred ,1Undrc<1 J.° $,’3S delivered to .$,*\ per to $1.35 at the tactones at Obv and Bad Axe "One One farmer stated stated'that that his milk I checks for March were $30 less for same ;* quantity 7* than for’February” t the ’---------- " Significant and unanswerable' unanswerable.
