face with the disturbances and de­
moralization of his

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.

The Michigan Manufacture and Fi­
nancial Record says:

"Michigan farmers are up in arms
over the injury done the dairy inter­
