switch" at the time, and his act In
stepping between the cars was for
the purpose of saving the crew the

THE TARIFF
DOESN'T HELP
TI FARMER
DOES NOT PROTECT 1IIM IN ANY
WAY FROM COM-
PETITION.
MAKES EXPENSES HIGHER
Gotcruor Wilson Shows an Able
Grasp of Phases of the
Situation.
City Clerk RoodhouBe was in Te-
cumseh on city business this morn-
ing.
Washington, Sept. 3—Governor Wil-
son has indicated in the speeches
ho has made thus far In the cam-
paign that he attaches a groat deal
of importance to the question of the
tariff aa It affects farmers. The
democratic candidate put this whole
question Into a nutshell when he
said:
Doesn't Help Farmer.
"The farmer does not derive any
benefits from the tariff when he
goes to market to sell his products,
but on everything the farmer buys
there is an artificially high pries
due to the tariff tax."
High protectionists in congress
have for many years deceived the
farmers into believing that because
a tariff la kept on wheat and corn
the farmer is necessarily benefited
thereby. That this is false logic
is apparent to any student of Amer-
ican import and export statistics.
This country produces more wheat
and corn than the American people
consume, which obviously makes it
impossible for any country of Eu-
rope jj sell wlttl *or- corn hwe.
Europe, which is the great market
for surplus American grain, uses
all the grain produced there for
home consumption, and In addition,
the European countries have sent
over here for more.
If thore were no tariff on grain,
therefore, the American farmer
would not be menaced by the pos-
sibility of foreign competition, for
the reason that foreigners have no
grain to sell.
Costs Him More.
But the situation is vastly differ-
ent with the farmer when he romes
to buy the tools, machinery, cloth-
ing, an dother necessities of Mf-.*.
He fnids every article that he uses
In producing his crops taxed h!.:u-
er and higher, until as Governor
Wilson says, "it is getting to be
