It is not only less than 1 percent. it is less than onehalf of 1 percent and. as the gentleman says. it was brought out in the hearings that this corn is of such a nature that it cannot be fed to livestock without grinding. But the very fact that the tariff on corn is low enough to admit it automatically fixes the domestic price at the figure at which foreign corn can be imported and if the high industrial tariffs which have destroyed the foreign market for our products are to be maintained we should increase our farm tariffs to a figure which will protect the American farmer from competition with the peon labor of Argentine and Mexico as effectively as factory labor is now protected against competition with the pauper labor of Europe and Japan.
