You know, as know, that our local
wheat commands the price that it does
only because our mills can as yet OBJ
tain enough ct the stronger northern
wheat to mix with it.
But I trust my frie1 d, that you and
my other colleagues from our State,
who are men given to economic thought
and study, will take q broader view
of this whole question, one common
surate with its Importance to the future
OF our State Do you think that q
tariff OF 20 cents bushel helps the
price of grain in Minnesota? Do you
think that the tariff on hog products
helps the price of hogs? Last year
hogs were S, 6 and cents q pound;
this year they are cents q pound;
steers, last year, and 8 cents q poul d;
this year, under cents. If the tariff
helps those prices, for Gods sake
give US more tariff on hogs and more
tariff on steers. r

can help the price of q commodity OF
