Berlin, June lin the lower house o.
the diet today Herr Rickert made motion
that the government submit TO the house
the material upon which Chancellor vor
CapriYi based his recent speech upon the
grain duties
The chancellor opposed the motion
The government, he said, was convinced
that there was no distress existing from
the duties levied on grain; but, in cOnse.
quence of the agitation which had been
aroused in regard to the matter, the gov
ernment had since consulted a number OF
private parties, and, naturally, could not
submit their report to the house.
Herr RickeK made a most sensational
speech, during which be said that it would
be found necessary to recall the man who
alone was able 60 direct the government
He added: THE Hamburger Nschrichten
will soon send trumpet blast throughout
the land" Herr Rickert charged the gov
ernment with eh7eavoring to Silence
those who were defending the interests of
the millions against the minority" The
The same speaker said also that he dis
credited the governments report about
grain. The available stocks, he said, were
small and prices would advance Potatoes.
he continued, had already replaced bread
as the food Of the people, and they (pota-
toes) were also placed at an exorbitant
price. His party would not rest until the
duties on grain were abolished.
Baron Erffa Wernb berp denied that dis
tress existed and called upon the Freisin-
nige party TO cease its demagogical teach
in9s.
The minister of agriculture promised to
publish definite figures in July, when he
could make more favorable announce
ments regarding wheat rye and potatoes
than on the previous estimates.
Herr Richter tauntkd the government
with vacillation. He declared that if the
weather became more unfavorable the
duties must be absolutely removed.
