Notwithstanding only 10 per cent of the entire corn crop comes to the cash market. the price of corn Is unquestionably fixed by reason of the purchase of 40 per cent of this cash corn by the starchproducing industry of the country. The proposed duty on corn is 25 cents a bushel. If the gateway to our market is to be invitingly held open with a guaranty of free entry to the coolie labor of Java. then it is a foregone conclusion that the purchase of 100.000.000 bushels of corn by this starchproducing industry will cease. at any rate it will be greatly impaired. The question arises. and particularly at this time when we have dedicated ourselves to farm relief. Shall we sacrifice the interest of the farmer to subserve that of the glue industry or the textile industry?
