THE REPLY.

Minneapolis mi1lers produce
flour which is famous the
world over and Minnesota far
mers raise wheat which COM
mands 10 to Is cents more in
the Liverpool market than
does winter wheat. This is the
famous blue stem wheat which
is raised only in Minnesota and
the Dakotas. Over a third of
this wheat is ground in Mime
apolis, and what is not ground
there and at other points in the
Northwest is exported and
ground abroad, where it comes
into competition more or less
with the finished product from
Minneapolis.
tits obvious therefore that
OAuC SICh1 hOu1 dl4u OIUtt SLC111
wheat must go into the foreign
markets on somewhat equal
terms, for any market condi-
tons which seriously affected
one would react on the other.
1t is also equally true that so
long as the Northwestern far
mers are producing more
wheat than the home mi1lers
can grind, the wheat is worth
more to them than it is to the
foreign miller. We venture
the assertion that on account
of the difference in freight on
wheat and flour, on account of
superior machinery and cheap
er power, blue stem wheat is
actually worth from ten to fif-
teen cents bushel more to the
Morris tribune., 1903-09-12

! Regarding the composition
| of this League, we may say
that there is not a single lum-
herman in this organization be-
cause our program includes
the abolition of American duty
on Canadian lumber. Natur-
ally our American 1umbermen
cannot subscribe to this pro-
gram. 1t is not true that a
single man on our list is heavi-
| ly interested in 1umOer mills Of
Minneapolis. Some of them
are interested in the flour mills
and we wish we could get
more n1illers to cooperate with
us. We frankly admit that we
think it would be to the inter
est of the milling industry to
secure reciprocity with Canada
and we believe that anything
that benefits the one industry
in which Minnesota leads the
Union will be good for the
whole country. Not all of the
flour mills in the northwest are
in Minneapolis by any means.
AS to the benefit of the
American owner of Canadian
wheat lands, we may say there
is comparatively little interest
among that class in reciprocity
with Canada, or at least if they
are interested they have not to
any great extent assisted us
AS for macaroni wheat, it is
still an experiment. The mill
ers are suspicious of it and it
would be folly to bank on it in
any way until it's practical pos
sibilities are fully demonstrate
ed.
You say that the Canadian
northwest is great country,
but in it's prosperity Minneap-
oils is not destined to share it.
Would you not like to see
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Du-
luth and other business cen
tiers in Minnesota share in the
prosperity of that country if
possible? Would our own
northwestern farmer object if
he were neither directly or in
directly injured thereby in any
way, and was both directly and
indirectly benefited? Would
not land near Morris be worth
more if Minneapolis and St.
Paul had a million people in
stead of 500, COOP Why should
not the whole northwest be
glad to have Minneapolis share
in the prosperity of the Canad-
ian northwest if in doing so
our own country is benefited?
That being the case, why not
lend a hand to the movement
that if successful will have an
incalcuable effect for good on
the future relations of the Unit
ed States and Canada?
Very respectfully,
Minnesota Branch of the
Reciprocity League.
Morris tribune., 1903-09-12

1t is said that the Canadian
Reciprocity League is already
figuring on favorable plank
in the next state Republican
platform, but we venture the
assertion that the league will
be doomed to disappointment.

THE LEAGUE ANSWERS.

lf1E l SSAuOE ANSW EN0s
Minneapolis Mimi, Sept. 4, 1905
Editor,
Morris Tribune,
Morris, MINI
Dear SIR
We were much inter
ested in your three-column dis
dussion of wheat, reciprocity
and Canada, in the issue OF
Aug. 22nd. Will you give us
space for a reply to your intelh-
gent and breezy discussion?
First, as to the temporary
lead of the Minneapolis market
in the Liverpool market. You
will recall that very little hard
wheat was bought during the
recent bulge in the Minneapo-
lis market when the price got
slightly higher than that in
Liverpool, and it is doubtful
whether a single farmer got
the advantage of dollar wheat,
or even approximately that fig
ure. Minneapolis offered a
high price for cash wheat
when there was none and the
mills either closed in Conse-
quence of the high price or else
turned their attention to Kan
sas wheat. Almost always at
the fag end of the crop year
there is bulge in Minneapolis
independent of other markets,
but it is a bulge that does the
farmer little or no good because
at the end of the crop year very
few farmers have any wheat to
sell and as soon as the new
wheat begins to come in the
minneapolis market sinks to
it's proper level with respect to
other markets.
But suppose for the sake of
the argument that the supply
of hard wheat tributary to Min
neapo1is should decline to APP
point very much below the de-
mand of the Minneapolis and
other northwestern mills.
What would be the result?
For a short time the millers
would perhaps pay fancy pric-
es for hard wheat. During
that period the tariff would be
an actual protection to the
northwestern farmer, but if the
millers thought that they were
to be confronted with a perma-
nent scarcity they would trans
fer their export trade to mills
that they would shortly erect
in Canada. By so doing they
would reduce the demand of
Minneapolis alone for Ameri-
can grown hard wheat nearly
100000 bushels a year. That
reduction would tend to restore
the equilibrium between supply
and demand. Still another ten
dency in the same direction
would be produced by the COM
petition of flour made from the
cheaper spring wheat. Hard
wheat mil1ers can stand a GER
tain margin of hard wheat ov-
er winter wheat, but the mo-
ment that is past they will lose
trade to the soft wheat nillers.
A permanent shortage in hard
wheat raised on this side of the
international boundary line,
then, would mean the Gripping
of the Minneapolis and all 9TH
er mills that now enjoy an ex-
port trade and an ultimate re-
duction of the price of hard
wheat to the same relative bas-
is as now. The farmers would
after equilibrium had been re-
established, find that the tariff
was unable to keep up prices
and that there was a reduced
demand for their wheat; so, in
the end, they would be selling
less wheat for the same price

Minneapolis miller than 1T is to
the foreign miller.
Now the writer of the above
letter admits that the object of
this Canadian reciprocity agi-
taUion is "to the interest of the
milling industry" We have
no quarrel with the millers, so
long as they ask nothing which
Injuries the greatest industry
of the Northwest farming.
But that is what they do ask.
They wish to buy wheat cheap
err, and in order to get it ask
that the Canadian tariff wall
be taken down, which would
not only bring our farmers in
to direct competition with
flood of Canadian wheat in the
home market but would also
give that wheat an easier out
let into the foreign market
than it ever had before.
There is nothing inequitable
to the millers in keeping out
this Canadian wheat. Our
farmers raise more wheat than
the millers can grind, and will
continue to do so for many
years to come. Even with
diversified farming, the North
west will produce 15O,OOO,OOO
bushels of wheat in the natural
course of crop rotation. With
a storage capacity of, | think,
35, 100000 bushels in Minneapo-
lis alone, the millers at that
place can easily keep them
selves supplied with an album
dance of the best wheat on
earth by simply paying enough
more during the moving sea-
son so as to turn the wheat in
to the storage elevator rather
than letting it go abroad. This
the miller can easily afford to
do. The tariff is~rea1ly the bal
ance wheel of the market be-
tween the miller and the farm
er. Within certain range, it
makes the price of wheat a
question to be settled by the
Northwestern farmer and the
Northwestern miller. On the
other hand, if it protected to
the extent of % cents bushel
it would force the miller who
grinds for export out Of BUSH
ness, and if it were entirely re-
moved, it would force the
wheat farmer out of business.
We are sorry that the
League does not give more
prominence to the discussion
of the removal of the tariff on
Canadian lumber, but while
this may be con the program"
yet the performance will prob
ably be cut short. There may
be no 1umbermen in the
League, but almost any bust
ness man in the list is close
enough to the lumber industry
not to wish to see that bust
ness injured. It is going to
take the united demand of the
people to get the tariff off lun
Der and some organization will
have to push the matter.
The Tribune draws it's con-
illusions regarding great fut-
ure for macaroni wheat from
the published statements of
Secretary Wilson and other of
ficia1s of the department of ag-
ricu1ture. A flood of Canadian
wheat might hinder the devel-
opnent of this new cereal.
We would like to see the
twin cities capture the trade
of the Canadian Northwest,
but that the Canadians them
selves view the matter differ
emily is shown by the interest
which Canada takes in the
building of the Grand Trunk
Pacific and i'll the building up

PROVISION OF CODE
BARS INDICTMENTS
Demurrer of Defense Sustained IN
Case of Hartman.

The decision given yesterday by Jus
tice Anderson in the case of Hartman
Parker, and others, is most important
It settles a question long In dispute
concerning the meaning of two sections
OF the code. which went into effect in
January. 1902
LanceIot A. Hartman was charged IL
the Police Court May e. 1901, witn vio-
Iation OF the gaming law, and Edward
Parker, George E. Cadarr, John J. Keat-
ing, and John y. Meyer. employed by
the Metropolitan Railroad Company
were accused Of conspiring TO defraud
that corporation. The latter we're held

await the action of the grand jury. See
tion 959 OF the code provides that in
all cases where persons are accused OF
crime the matter shall be reported to
the grand jury. which shall report an
Indictment within nine months OF
otherwise ignore the accusation In the
cases of Hartman. Parker. and others
the evidence against them was submitted
to the grand jury. but indictments were
not returned until March u. 1902, near
~ eleven months after the accusation
was made against them.
Through their counsel. Prescott H CAT
ley, Thomas NJ Fields. and Joseph Shil-
Iington. the defendants FLED demurrers
to the indictments, on the ground that
these had not been reported within the
time specified by the code The case
was argued. some time ago, before JUS
tlce Anderson. The Government con-
tended that the indictments were legal,
as the defendants were held to await
the action of the grand jury before the
code went into effect.
In answer, the defense eontended that
section 1893 Of the code, in relation 10
practice and procedure. supported their
side Of the case This section provides
THAT the provisions of this code reiat-
ing to procedure and practice. and not
ehecting the substantial rights OF par
ties. shall apply to pending suits or
proceedings civil or criminal In other
words. the court held that since tho in
dictnents were reported under the pro-
visions of the code, they should have
been reported within nine months. the
time stipulated by the code.
The sustaining of the demurrers in
these cases means more than a nolIe
prosequi of the indictments. or an
abandonment of the. prosecution against
the defendants. It Precludes any further
proceedings against them by the Coz
ernment for the offenses which they
were accused of committing.
