What the poorly paid farmer above all things just now, is a “sliding scale’ in the tariff, which is eating out his sustenance, through a high tax on implements and all he buys. The implement manufacturers protected in their high prices by a high tariff. The fact that American implements are scld for money in foreign countries than to our far- mers at home, proves the robbery that is practiced against American farmers under a high-tarift' policy. This thing of cudgeling the imple- ment dealers is not likely to correct the wrong, the farmer must be educat- ed upon the prime cs of the fleec- ing, which is the high tariff policy.
