AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 
Mr. Wyant. My position is this, that out of every dollar’s worth 
of manufactured products of steel, wire, machinery and every kind, 
the farmer gets 85 cents for food supplies, clothing, ete. That is a 
benefit to the farmer. Now, I believe that if there is any advantage 
in that, if any protection for the manufacturer, I believe the farmer 
ought to be placed on the same basis; and I have voted accordingly, 
as my record will show. 
4 Mr. AgwEIL, Do you think the equilization fee will put him in 
1at position: 
Mr. Wyant. I am not sure about that. I am in favor of doing 
something to relieve the farmer; whether the equilization fee is the 
best method or not I do not know. 
Mr. AsweLL. Would you be in favor of a bill without the fee in 
order to get some legislation? 
Mr. Wyant. I am in favor of any bill that will give him relief. I 
may not go the limit, but I will go te any extent that will give the 
farmers relief in a bill I think the President will approve | 
Mr. ASWELL. aon do not think he will approve—— 
r. Wyant. He has not approved 
Mr. AsweLr. I do not think he al of the fee it if it goes back with 
thy Sg ation fee in it. BO v 
r. Wyant. I think that will be futile. My suggestion i 
representatives of the farmers agree upon cometh the i os
