By H. E. Miles, Fair Tariff League, argues that emergency tariffs hurt a small town glove factory near the Canadian border, reducing farm income as farmers lose local buyers.

It notes Cuban raw sugar duties raise costs for farmers, while beets receive little protection, and highlights higher prices for farm goods and clothing due to tariffs. The piece urges farmers to protest a tariff that supposedly fails to favor them.
