Protection In Great Britain.

There Is an apparent change in sen.
tlment toward a protective policy for
Great Britain. In its adoption II
would seem that flour from the United
States, and possibly wheat and corn,
also. would be Disseminated against
in favor of similar products from
Great Brltain's colonies. In such an
event we would hnve to face the
wheat OF Canada, whose capacity at
present is to grow 10000, 900 bushels
OF surplus wheat. and whose acreage
in wheat Is increasing ten to twenty
per cent. per annum. Her milling In.
dustry, now boasting some OF the
largest mills in the world. has grown
by leaps and bounds the past six
years.
