U.S. TARIFF.
PROTECTING FARMERS.
PROPOSED DUTY ON PRODUCE. GUARDING LOCAL MARKETS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. .Received April 1, 11.20 p.m. Washington, April 1. The Secretary of Agriculture (Mr. Wallace), in a statement, declared that practically all agricultural product® should be immediately given adequate protection against foreign competition by tariff legislation or other means He added that it would be a mistake to permit a tariff so low that manufacturers sending ships loaded with their products abroad could have them return with foodstuffs and other agricultural products which could be marketed here at a lower price than they could be produced for in America. He pointed out that this would force farmers and stockmen to reduce production, thus leading to an era of high prices in the future.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
