vill prove thattie indirect protection afford ell ea to the farmer by the tariff on manufactured goods is sufficient compensation to him for the vast cost entailed upon him in carrying the piot chiyo t tariff a r myvern system upon manufactured goods it lias has become apparent to all thoughtful observers and certainly it is known to all who have any direct connection with the he agricultural

the money with which to restore that which you have tal taken ken it is t the be acry first duty of the congress of tho the Un united itell states to provide ermide a bill which shall hall not dot only bo be hofft in its present application but ant bollich aall pay back some of that which has been taken from the pockets of tile the toilers boilers of this land I 1 havo have talked with tho the farmers in ID 20 states of the union since last fall and I 1 firmly believe that this will no longer endure than until the farmers of the united states can call have a chance to revise it at the polls polla it if you do not give to them some portion of its benefits the farmer is bending beneath a lurden be cannot carry longer ile HB has been the backbone of tile the integrity of the united states but there comes in the place of the free and independent farmer of abil country a race of tenantry to reap where lie he sowed nobly men man who receive their opinions aloni debeis instead of giving their own independent voice oice at tile the polls poll and in oil all their declarations to bleir fellow met men the senate of the tha united stat tes can ablord to bo be absolutely just I 1 believe the amendment should le be adopted mr Clial chandler idler may I 1 ask the senator from utah a question mr cannon certainly mr chandler I 1 heard tho the senator speak of robbery a little while ago with reference refe renca to the tariff does the ise senator mean that the farmer has been lobbed blobbed all these ysais by the tariff Is that tile the Bc natora argument merit mr cannon yes sir fir decidedly mr chandler lid did the senator i first think that the american tariff system was a of 0 tho the fa iniel mr cannon just EO 60 as all tho the fell ator gave attention to tho the subject to understand the truth troth of it I 1 advocated republica tariffs as earnestly and as faithfully in my humble way as i the senator from new hampshire and I 1 relieved believed exactly ebat I 1 taught I 1 but I 1 am aia not dot disposed auy any longer to advocate a 1 I system by which one portion of the population is taxed for tho the benefit of another portion of the population I 1 think that it is unfair to cherish oni only y I 1 one a da clar and that hat the class which has already tire the most rower power cf self protection tie if 11 tit the senator from new hampshire will go across the plains plain of kansas as I 1 have bave gone arid and across tile the plains of I 1 believe in him sufficiently to think he will rome collie lack back and say that this bill is ia robbery of the
