Show viduals or corporations, who, in turn, are dependent for the busi- r ness they do, upon the sale or manufacture of products derived from some farm crop. A large part of the business of the city drayman and the waterfront stevedore, will be handling farm crops either in their fresh state, canned, or in the shape of sugar, flour, cured meats, etc. The man who says he is not interested in agriculture, agri-culture, lacks good sense. j Lack of tariff protection on crops, where it is necessary, simply cuts off the jobs of thousands of workmen in other lines of industry indus-try besides farming. What good does it do the laboring man if he can buy butter, eggs or sugar for a few cents less each month, if unrestricted foreign competition causes him to lose his job? The sooner we all learn that we have an interest in each other's problems, j the sooner will industrial and agricultural stability be assured. ! |
