ing the passage Of his federal
grain inspection bill Senator Nc
Cumber handled the presentcon-
ditions without gloves. He said
that farmers were being robbed
of millions of dollars each year
by false grading and inspection
Of grain. He also charged that
the official record of the ele-
vators at Duluth ard Superior
would show that during the past
ten years 1885, 900 bushels
more wheat went out Of the ele-
vators than were weighed in.
The farmers have boon robbed of
over $40, 900, 900 in this way. The
profits of one elevator alone, at
Superior for a single month was
shown to have been $4,000, 900
made by the manipulation of
| grades. The Senator has y i
much hope Of securing the pus,
age Of the bill at this session but
hopes to have it in shape for q
vote next fall.
