JDANGKR TO FARMERS. IN HIGH TARIFF.

CMr- B. F. McLeod, in News-Courier)To the Editor of The News and

Courier: The high protective tariff.party will be in complete control of«veay department of the governmentafter March 4. and it is probable theJhjgb protective tariff legislation willSh- .the first work of the new adminiuuxation.A high protective tariff.wneans low price farm products in-any country whose products are in«\cess of domestic consumption. Thatcondition will exist in exaggeratedionaa if there is any protective tariff.legislation within the next two' orIhxee years, or, until the exchange is.restored to somewhere near the pre

»arbasis.Jt is true that the farmers managedlo exist under a high tariff law.

Exist is the proper word to use be-cuse they did not really live. Butthe English pound was worth $4.85tInstead of $3.37; the German mark.16c instead of 1, and the frank 20c';instead of 6c. It is true also duringvifce high protective tariff period thatthe production of cotton and wheatentside of the United States increas-!'

by leaps and bounds, especially-45f<lon. The war-devastated Europeancoaiatries, especially th° central pow- i«n, cannot buy our surplus cotton, Icera, wheat, cattle, etc., unless theycan sell to us the products of their ifactories approximately of equal val-|<

e. When we. build a tariff wall if^around the United States that cannot iJbe surmounted by these countries,>tIfeep cannot buy our farm products;!ultl 'th e exchange reaches some-;«where near par. ! (_. Al the present value of the German ,t

.mark cotton would cost Germany 22 amacks or $5.50 per pound delivered.'«TOlheat 3!>0 marks or $50.00 a bushel., \When this condition exists our sur- vrvli.o ^111 U* 1Imu^ mi hi |;iuuuci5 win utr a surpiua cJadeed and the value of the surplus'enWIB "be .the price of the entire pro-,cftdpdtion, which will be far below the kaoqrt of production. Then another ex- exxjus of farm labor to the cities and tiindustrial centers. This condition will pforce European countries to buy cot-is

. tan, wheat, corn, cattle, etc., from the w- countries to which they can sell the tiproducts of their factories. It will aforce them to try to increase the pro-|gduction of cotton, wheat, etc. in all. sioriBatries where they can be grown. !g;Wfo can sell some of our surplus af-jtiler the supply everywhere else has 01Tboen exhausted. Trade movps along aithe. lines of least resistance. Build a ti<dana across the channel and it willflow through other channels. Thiscoalition will enable England to conJtinueto practically force the central,powers to buy her inferior low grade'lB0lan cotton at a big profit-and enableher to increase the production."TOwii vhat will become of our low

TtTbere is another side to the quesu&L. --We cannot afford for our in- nc

dm&tries to be put out of business. wl

rrfdiffcter can we 'afford to bankrupt ar

urifarmers and merchants. There is |°.a \middle ground somewhere and it °>

-seems *o ne we have enough brainsamong the farmers, business men P*

and manufacturer to find the middle^'ground where all can stand. Will the nt

.manufacturers sit at a table with the |i:iftmsiness men and representatives oftthe farmers and try to solve the prob<leofr-4-'solveit for the best interest ofhe^entire country and not for thefavored few? 1 doubt it."With that idea in view I urged the D

Carolina cotton manufacturers, b'Ao 'take memberships in the Araeri-j0can Cotton Association aggregating u

$11^000,000 which would give themthree members on the board of di- 1rectors and one member on the exe-

entirecommittee but they declinedXhe invitation. If they had. joined theassociation in a cooperative spirit I

' btelieve every manufacturer in the3outh would have followed them, andit'la probable they would have gottonthe ear of every manufacturer in theentire country. n

TJiis group and that will be foundlighting for protection, the other-group for preservation, and in thewild scramble some group will bemurdered commercially. Are you, Mr.Farmer and Mr. Merchant, going to 1

belong to that murdered group? You £

will, unless you prepare now to meet '

JUbe situation.*Bhe manufacturers are beginning .

to say that Europe will soon begin-damping goods in this country man

ulactured by cheap labor and they«in't meet the competition as they LV*T their labor so much more thantte labor is paid i nEurope. If thatas true we cannot export any moremanufactured goods because if we

» can't meet foreign competition in ourj[ own country we certainly cannot'I aaeet it anywhere else with or withI<ont a protective tariff.B if the manufacturers are given a'A kitgh protective tariff the y will do;

one of two things reduce produc-lmk 1km to actual domestic consumption,

©r sell a part of their product to for-|eign countries at a loss and sell the.

B^A home people at a profit plus the loss|-and plus a profit on the goods ex-1

ported .

The farmers will be offered a sop'1 n the way of a. duty on Oriental oils Cand Canadian wheat that will not beworth anything. Our anjmal and*egetaj>le fats and wheat will be so

cheap, owning to our inability to ex- iiport our surplus at a fair price, that oother countries will not be able to tlmeet the price-at which we will be ^

forced to sell. Therefore, we need t1not fear that competition. . tl

If we have a protective tariff Eu- dropean countries, will buy where th4y ficait sell their goods. (

fiIf it is good business for the man- si

ufacturer to reduce production to de-,t<mand, is it not good business for the'cifarmer to reduce his production to de- f£mand. The Southern farmer who does j<not follow this business rule and re- siduce his cotton acreage at least33 1-3 per cent in' 1921 deserves alwhat he will get. Now is the time afor the farmers, country merchants a

and bankers in every nook and corn-^nier of the United States to join hands cir» r» A cvV* f ea r\v\« man fnr tK olr nro. W

The campaign for acreage reduc-.F):ion should be pushed vigorously at |jnce and I suggest that the cotton asjociatiohNneach of the States attachi request for the farmers to sign tohe acreage reduction pledge, requestngthe legislatures of the severalstates to enact laws requiring thejinners to collect 15c per bale on ev>rybale of cotton ginned. Thismount to be paid to trustees appoint- j'>d by the legislatures, who in turn!rill pay 10c per bale to the Stateisions of the American Cotton Asso-i"iation and 5c to the county branch-J.,s for defraying the expenses of the^ounty branches, developing a markingassociation in each county,tc. If a request of that kind is atachedto the acreage reduction .

ledge, it is probable that all who . .

ign the acreage reduction nledge ch,'ill sign the request for the legisla- cgJon relative to collecvting a certainmount per bale at the g"ins.
