The first grea: action of the Assump-

national Legislature In 1898. They were
particularly successful at that time, be-

The Assumption investigation has so far
resulted only in some palliative measures
proposed by the government. which are
not considered being of any incisive
or lasting effect. The economic basis of
the congregations power and influence
remains unchanged, and the demand for
a confiseation of the orders property,
made by few extreme Radicals, has not
found even decent minority support in

the manifold labors required in the culture
of flower bulbs for commercial uses. The
reason for this can be found in the mani
fest unwillingness on the part Of the grow
ers. especially those In Holland, to divulge
any of their experiences or articles con-
nected with bulb growing. 1t Is claimed
by some that cheap labor in Holland is
mainly responsible for the maintenance
OF the monopoly which that country has
enjoyed, but when one considers the tarifr
