Farmers who have to bid in the open market for the available labor supply cannot compete with a protected or bonused manufacturer, as we" have repeatedly pointed out.

He is protected and consequently can af- ford to pay higher wages and offer more attractive inducements to the workmen than the farmer can. Let us for the sake of argument reverse the situation, and then see how matters would stand. Let the | farmers be protected or bonused for every bushel of grain grown, every) pound of cheese or gallon of milk pro-| duced, every head of live stock sold, ! and for everything else he produces on his farm.
