This is the only cottonproducing country on earth that stands by and sees its cotton farmers thus penalized. We often hear references to the condition of the poor peons in Mexico. However. the Mexican Government does not force the peon to compete with this product of the coolies of the Orient. but levies a tariff on all of the raw jute which enters Mexico In competition with their cotton. Cotton is produced in Brazil by underpaid peons. with a low standard of living. but Brazil levies a tax on all of the raw jute imported into that country. The United States is forcing our cotton farmers to compete with the laborer who is paid 8 and 10 cents per day in India. without affording him the slightest protection.
