WILSON DEFENDS
NEW TARIFF BILL
. --
Secretary of Agriculture Says a
Further Reduction Would
Hit Laliorer First.
HURT FARMERS ALSO
I. —
Speech of Opening of Ohio t am
paign Proves ‘ Farmer Jim
a Stand Patter.
KlifXTOX, O., Sept. 17.—The He*
; publican State campaign was opened
here formally here to-day by the gath
ering of voters and politicians from
every quarter of the State to hear the
first pronouncement of Warren G.
Harding, who is to oppose Governor
Judson Harmon, for re-election. Sec
retary of Agriculture James Wilson di
vided honors, with Harding as the
principal speaker.
Mr. Wilson spoke in part as fol
lows:
"While we were building up our
mamitacturtng system. the public
lands were being given to the peo
ple. which resulted in very cheap food
for many years, not very profitable to
the farmers. The farmers of the
country had low prices for their crops,
while free land was to tie had for
taking up. The farmer endured high
prices for factory products, while
these industries were being developed,
and the West was being settled. It
now costa him more than it did before.
Is he now to be put in the same class
as farmers in new adjacent countries
and sell his goods in an open market
in eompetltion with pioneers of other
lands.' We had experience between
1893 and 1997 along that line. The
factory lost its customers because
goods made cheaper abroad came in.
The farmer lost his market because
idle factory people could not buy.
"The new schedules average lower
than the Dtngley law. Mans' articles
1 that have been reduced have risen in
price because of increased demand,
and some without increased demand,
i Bread and meat are dear, owing to
j heavy demand for them, and because
j of population growing faster than
i crop productions. High prices will
i encourage production, better cultiva
tion. better animals, tile graining and
j better production with better meth
| ods. These will enable the farmers
I to meet the demands of growing popu
| iation in reasonable time, without
making tarm labor the exception when
others are protected.
"A further reduction of tariff would
hit the working people firrt. Europe
i has lower wages than the United
! States and would promptly take ad
vantage of lower duties. The farmer
would lose his customers and prices
i for both factory and farm goods would
i come down.
Praise* President.
I Secretary Wilson praised President
; Taft and his administration and spoke
In the highest terms of the work of
I Congress. The tsrlfr law would be
changed, he said, if the researches
, of the tariff board showed amend
| ment* to be desirable. He made spe
cial mention of the railroad and pos
tal savings laws and the creation of a
commission by Congress to investigate
the question of employer's liability.
Then he continued:
“Congress at It* last session gave
the President authority to conservs
the interests of the people with re
gard to the public lands, water pow
er* on pub’le lands, minerals, such as
j coal, gas, phosphates, oil,.etc. Conser
vation of our national resources is
being looked after. The most im
portant feature of farm conservation,
however, is the soli. The (armor pros
pers while the soil yields good crops
i as the result of his work. He censes
to do well when the soil refuses to
respond to Ills labor.
Secretary Wilson told how improved
methods in farming had increased the
yield per acre of corn, wheat, tobac
co. cotton, potatoes and hay. He
urged as a matter of the highest im
portance th.- renewal of the fertility
i "f farm soil. The secretary closed
with a recital of the disaster that oc
curred in the wool industry when wool
was placed on the free list In the Wil
■ son bill.
