Delegation From Minnesota Swoops
Down on Finance Committee
and Makes Strong Kick.

with fire in their eyes. descended up
on the senate committee on finance
today with protests against the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement. They
represented the state convention OF
farmers and the entire agricultural In
terests in the state. they said.
Henry Feig opened fire for tho
northwesterners with the declaration
that the agreement was free trade for
the farmers and protection for the
manufacturers.
I'VE repudiate the action OF Presi-
dent Taft, manufacturers, boards OF
trade and the Great Northern Rail
road Co. in their efforts TO force this
unjust proposition through congress-.
said Feig The high cost OF living Is
not due TO the farmer. IL Is caused
by the railroads and middlemen. The
farmer receives only 35 per cent or
the price paid by the consumer.
Throughout the northwest. all the
farmers / have talked with, have OPP
posed the treaty with one exception.
That man owns a thousand acres In
Canada, and last year he raised $4,000
bushels OF wheat Reciprocity would
add ten cents a bushel TO the value or
his wheat crop"
II challenge President Taft" de-
clared p. B. Collins. editor Of the
Northwestern Agricultural paper. ITO
show that there is any justice In sac
rificing the farmer to the interest OF
the manufacturers In the east.
There are many men in the east
who are easily deceived by western
jokers. You had a joker here In
James j. Hill, president OF the Great
Northern railway. Hill is NO longer
interested in the states traversed by
his railroad. He has 20 spurs extend
ing from his railroad to the Canadian
border and sees a pot OF gold In the
long haul In the development or the
west. These lines will be extended
into Canada with a Dominion subsidy
OF $4,000 mile"
This reciprocity agreement, II
enacted, will rob the farmers OF Min
nesota OF 100000 900 or S50,000,OOO
year." said Collins. 1T would reduce
the price of wheat by ten cents a
bushel
"All kinds OF mills will close.
Adoption OF this agreement, with
Canada means a panic. II you read
the bank clearings you will see that
we are now practically in state OF
panic on account OF this treaty. The
hoggishness of the cities means the
ruination OF the farm.
"The attitude OF the farmers Of the
Republican party" continued Collins,
lis like that of boy in circus, who
walked around an elephant with a
club, looking at him just as we have
looked at the @. o. p. and saying.
