‘ the manufacturing sectiouaof the coun-
try. This is but natural, because the
market for truck is at the large centers
of population, where there are
workers. Anything that tends to dimin-
ish the number of wage eamerain large '
cities will also decrease the demand for
farm truck and help to cheapen prices.
The nearer we approach free trade and
the larger our importations of foreign
goods the worse it will be for the truck
farmer, because there will be more idle
people in the United States There are
240,898 men, women and children who
find work on the farms. All would suf-
fer from free trade.
Thereare still others who are inter-
ested in truck farming. There are the
manufacturers of boxes, barrels, crates,
baskets and other packages. There are
the manufacturers of fertilizers, who
sell more than 810, 000,000 worth of
their product to the farmers. There are
the seedsmen and nurserymen who sup-
ply them with plants and seed at a cost
ranging from 50 cents per acre for the
cheapest seed up to $24 per acre for as-
paragus plants in Baltimore. These
form other large industries that are in
terested in protection for the truck farm-
era
Now let us see how the McKinley
tariff on track compared with the Gor-
man bill. In the McKinley bill the
rates of duty were. specific, but to make
an easier comparison for the farmer we
give the equivalent ad valorem rate.
Thus:

Potatoes. 51.90 :10 21.00
All othcr ......... 251]) 10 1.3.00
The last column of this table shows
the farmer that he may expect to re-
ceivo over 20 per cent less money for his
bean crop under the German tariff than
he sold his beans for when the McKinley
act was in operation. This assumes that
the country will be just as prosperous,
with as many people at work and able
tobuy truck. The farmer may expect
to get only half tho old price for his
cabbage when he has a full crop, 30 pct
cent less for his onions, 22 per cent less
for his potatoes and 15 per cent less
money for all his other vegetables. Lot
us figure out for the farmer how much
this means, taking the average not in
come of the different crops throughout
the country. Thus:

These are some of the principal truck
crops that farmers grow, and in the last
column tin-y can son the loss per acre of
their net income that they may expect
under the Gonnan tariff during an aver-
age season when drought or too much
rain has not spoiled any crop and crout:
ed a scarcity. It is certainly not a wry
cheering prrmu-ct for the farmers, but
they must remember that the Domm‘rats
want to buy cheap, so they encourage
competition from foreign farmers, such
as the potato and onion mun of Bor-
muda, who may also send us tonmtmrs
and other stuff. The farmer in (‘anada
will have a rich harvest in the Ameri-
can markets with his lu-ans, cahbagvs.
celery, potatoes and stud. We shall get
more Dutch cabbagos and morotmtntmes
from England, Scotland and (lornmny.
In “493 We imported ova-r 0,000,000
bushels of time fvw farm crops and
paid over $4,000,000 to foroign fnrm~
crs. This money should have been paid
to American farmers. We should not
send a single dollar out of the mmntry
for any farm stuff. But the Documents
do not care for tho American farmers.
so they reduce tho duties to help their
friends in Bermuda, (lanada and Eu-
rope. The farmers of Now England, the
Atlantic and middle states, must got
ready for this foreign conumtition.
When truck comes into the large east-
ern markets from Europe, Bermuda and
Canada; when it swanns over our north-
ern borders, than out farmers must sell
for less money to meet the communion
or also ship their stuff farther away to
the west and south into other markets
that have boon supplied by other farm‘
era This will increase the expense by
heavier freight bills. It will lower val—
ues by thegn'uleroomrsititiou. it won’t
pay to grow scum stuff in some studious,
and there will be more land for other
crops. again increasing their supply.

An importer of musical instruments,
owing to the reduction of duties on no-
cordions, harmonious, jows' harps, gul-
tars and ilddlve, was enabled to save
nearly $125 on a bill of $800. There
was a small saving on each instrument,
so small in fact that the buyer did not
think it worth while to divide it with
the purchaser. who is charged the old
price. while the buyer put in his own
pocket the extra .120 that he saved on
his bill of .800. This serves to illue~
trate one of the reasons why the import-
