Farmer tariff reply voiced by representative Green
Representative Green of the Ninth Town district issued a statement opposing the new democratic tariff bill. He argued it harms farmers by keeping wheat prices, admitting flour and bran duty free, and failing to shield American meat and cattle markets from Canadian and Mexican competition. He warned Canadian duties could be offset, displacing U.S. grain and meat with foreign products.
