Farmers Urge That Duty on American
Wheat and Flour BE Removed.

Winnipeg, Man, Feb. 1.-THE domin-
ion tariff commissioners recently held
sessions here, when the farmers sent
representatives to urge that the duty
on American wheat and flour be re-
moved, being of no practical benefit to
Canadian farmers.
This radical free trade demand has
so alarmed the millers in this country
that they have decided to suspend OPP
erations until definite announcement
is made regarding the tariff.
The millers declare if the United
States wheat and flour is admitted tC
Canada free, Canadian milling inter
ests will be ruined. But the agricul-
turists seem bent on free trade with the
United States.
