agricultural district officials to report as to
the condition and probable yield of wheat

Immediately upon the conclusion of gath

The North German Gazette published an
article on the subject, in which it avows
that the main reason of the government

the duties was a fear that the reichstag
would, once they were abolished or re-
duced, never allow them to be re-
stored. This statement raised a
storm of protests. in which the
agrarian journals joined. The notion
that suspension of duties meant perma-
nent abolition is denounced as absurd, in
view of the fact that the reichstag, which
has yet three years to serve, has a clear
protection majority ready to reimpose the
duties when the government desires. In
the meantime, what measures are possible
will be taken to tighten the hardships re-
sulting from the dearness of rye.
