pftRTARIFFNO" AID TOFARMERS Consumers Taxed for Benefit ol Factories, Not Beet Growers. WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED Fair Tariff League Head 8aya Baata Are Not Important American Crop. By H. E. MILES, Chairman of the Fajr Tariff League. Sugar in the beet, the product ol the farm, la given a protection ol 0 % ad valorem In the Fordney Tariff BUI dow before Congress. Refined sugar, the product of tbe beet sugar factory, la protected with a specific rate equivalent to from 80% to 100% ad valorem on the basis of present prices. • For example, tbe Michigan sugar factory receives a prohibitive protection against the Importation of the product of the Canadian augar factory, but the Michigan sugar beet farmer receives practically no protection against the Canadian sugar beet In view of this farmers are asking If the 60% Increase in tbe tariff en : Cuban raw sugar contained in the j Fordney Tariff B1U la an effort to protect the farmer or an effort te pay a further^bonut to an already sufficient- ' ly protected beet sugar Industry. 3 All farmera use augar. They umally t buy It In 100 pound sacks. Every time , a fanner buya a sack of augar be pays t #2.00 aa the result ef the tariff on , augar. Half of this goes to the Gov- ' ernment and half of It to tbe beet 1 sugar manufacturer. 1 This la true because we consume In , this country twice aa much sugar as , we make, but the price of sugar to the J farmer is the Cuban jrtce plus the j tariff. But the tarp»(9g[ys this price on both the domestic sugar and the foreign sugar. Therefore the farmer « pays half of thla tax to the Government and half to tbe manufacturer of ! beet sugar In thla country. Sugar Beeta a Minor Product The farmer might feel that he was ( getting some benefit out of this If the raising of sugar beets was actually an Important American agricultural pursuit. This, however, la not the case. The crop acreage of sugar beeta for - 1920 was 692,45.1. Tbe crop acreage for peanuts was 1.256.000, almost double the acreage devoted to the cultivation of sugar beeta. The following table Indicates tbe Importance of the acreage devoted to sugar beets as compared with certain 1 other crops : Sugar beets 092.455 Buckwheat 789.000 Dover seed 843.000 I Sweet potatoes... 1,042,000 Rice 1.091300 Rye 1,103,000 Peanuts 1,256,000 1 Flaxseed 1 .572,000 Tobacco 1 .910300 Irish potatoes.... 3,952,000 Bat-lev 7.198,000 Cotton 33366300 j Oats 41,835,000 Hay 563*2 000 , Wheat 72.308,000 Con. 100,072.000 Even those fanners who raise sugar j " beeta might properly ask In what way their interests are being protected by their- interests , H

an Increase In the duty on Cuban s1 sugar. It la currently rumored tbnt a' tbe contract price paid the fanner for [ F sugar beets during the coming season j will be from #5.00 to #5.50 a ton. |-T The average pre-war price with the ^ tariff at lc was #5.57, approximately the price that will be paid fanners during the coming season with the b tariff Increased 00%. P Very few farmers grow wool, but all g wear clothes. American grown u wool, the product of the American ^ farm. Is one of the chief rallying crlea . of tbe high tariff exponent. Fallacy of Wool -Protection- ° Farmeri are clad la mid winter mostly in cotton and shoddy, and yet J the woolen manufacturer today Is t given 45 cents a pound protection on the entire weight of the farmers' a clothing on the basla that It is all wool. . He passes this additional cost cm to £ the farmer, but gives the wool grower about one-third of this 45 cents In In- s creaeed price of wooL • A foreign piece of men's suiting c weighing eighteen ounces to the yard ^ Is 40% eotton, 30% wool and 80% wool shoddy, coating 00 the present } rate of exchange #1.09 a yard. A com- ' parable domestic fabric costs |L?5. i Under the Fordney Tariff the duty ] would be 24% of thla $1.75. or 42c; -the weight duty at 80c a pound. 83 %c, and the landlnr charge -9Hc. making .the foreign fabric cote here $1.95. ' Under the present Emergency Tariff. < with Its 45c a pound weight duty, the 1 fabric would cost #2.08 as against the American price of $1.75. j The wool grower would gel 15c protection per pound Instead of the 45c 1 weight duty, tbe manufacturer keepX , lng 90c of the weight duty, but charg- ; Ing the farmer who buys clothing the , full -45c. The American farmer should be ln1 tereated to find out why It Is that his 1 common agricultural Implements man- , ufactured In the United States can be bought for less by the European farmer than he has to pay for them, 1 thsnks to the protective tariff. For • Instance, he should Inquire why he has to pav $8.91 a dozen lor a shovel manufactured In this country while the identical shovel exported can be UouSfht In Europe tor $730. With these facts In mind It Is time that the American farmer let himself be heard In protest against a protective tariff which mote emphatically Goes not give him a square deal.
