for American wheat The volume Of
wheat which goes to Minneapolis and Du-
luth mills to be ground has no effect
whatever in reducing the price of wheat.
On the other hand, the effect, if any
thing, is to stimulate the local markets
by developing the industry which pro-
duces the market. Minneapolis last year
broke all records and received over 90.OOO,-
coo bushels of wheat, of which nearly
SO,OOO,ooO were ground into -four. But
Notwithstanding this immense volume of
receipts. Minneapolis prices are within
S1k cents of Chicago, while the freight to
Chicago is ~ cents; thereby showing
that the Minnesota milling industry helps
the wheat market by cents per bushel
The two facts which confront the
farmer are these:
First, the tariff against Manitoba
wheat shuts out that product from com
ing to develop home milling industry
which makes market for the American
crop.
SoSSOuu, liAdl ldT11l Of1NSS llllS WHEAT "
Liverpool to break down the market
where world prices are made for the en-
tire American crop.
1t therefore strikes at the very interest
which it pretends to help. It is probably
safe to say that no Minnesota or Dakota
farmer ever asked to have this tariff en-
acted. Such an insane proposition as
protecting the wheat growers of the
Northwest by tariff never found birth in
the brain of a Northwestern farmer. The
wheat duty was put in the tariff, most
likely by the congressional tool of the
Eastern trusts who want the tariff made
general on all industries in order to cover
up the tariff game by which these trusts
fleece the Western agriculturist.
Is it not time this farce were ended
and the tariff bolstered trust, on the one
hand, and the independent Northwestern
farmer, on the other, be allowed each
to stand on it's own merits?

FARCE or 4 WHEAT TARIFF.

One of the crazy features Of +ba 81
called protective" tariff is the duty on
wheat, which. supposedly enacted in tba
interest Of the wheat belt of the North
west, is now giving Minnesota industry
and enterprise so much trouble.
Manitoba harvested during the mast
season 50,OOo,0OO bushels of high grade
wheat an increase of 100 per cent over
the crops of recent years. Rapid set
Ting Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan. ASSN
iboia and Alberta mean still larger crops
next year and the harvests followinp
The Canadian Northwest has no milling
centers to give this wheat a home mar
ket. and the absurd tariff prevents Min
nesota millers from using it to enlarge
their industry. Consequently, the $4,000
600 bushels are exported to Liverpool and
are put upon the market at 2 to 4 cents
under the Duluth basis of prices, there
by making the price for the whole Amer
lean wheat and -four product.
What are the results?
1t furnishes British milIers with low
priced wheat with which to undersell
American -four manufactured from Amer
lean wheat.
Dumped upon the comparatively small
market Of Liverpool, where milling de-
mands are limited, it breaks down the
price of the entire American crop at the
point where world prices are chiefly
made.
American mills American elevators.
American railroads and American lake
transportation interests are deprived of
an important business which by the logic
Of natural laws belongs to them.
American manufacturers and merchants
are deprived of nearby market and
this especially applies to Minnesota Job
bers and manufacturers-which without
this absurd tariff wall would arise from
the exchange of Manitoba grain for
American products.
American labor in the mills. elevators
factories. jobbing houses and transporta-
ton business IS robbed of the increase
In work and pay which would result if
business between Manitoba and Mime
sofa were allowed to take natural chan
neIs.
If this tariff on wheat were removed.
