The first request on the list is that the tariff be made effective. And that is a very reasonable request. The farmers have been paying the tariff for years. They have paid higher prices for the necessities of life in order that labor and industry might be protected from competition with the pauper labor and industries of Europe. Is it not fair play. is it not elemental justice that the farmers in their turn should be protected from competition with the cheap labor and cheap land of foreign countries? A tariff bill is coming up in the House next week.
