g. A. Archer. proprietor OF the Yank-
ton oil mill, says il the free flax clause
in the Mills bill becomes law the flax
industry in this section will be dead, as
Dakota farmers cannot make flax culture
pay in competition with foreign coun-
ties. His mill would close and another
industry would be wiped out through
the workings of the democratic free
trade doctrine. Mr.. Archer paid the
farmers of this section ST.. .35 per bushel
for their last years crop Of fax seed and
is now waiting to take the 1888 crop.
Our farmers will lose this income if the
democratic party has it's way.
