It amounted to this:' Before I am a Demo crat or a partisan or a politician, I am a public official, worn to observe and enforcd the laws. , The law require mer to perform certain dutle, among them being the suppression of certain crime.

The largest flouring mill.rft Minneap olis haa been forced,-by the customs duty of It cent a bushel on wheat,' to have on of it mm piaoea under gov ernment supervision In order that U may retain . its export trade In flour. The poor quality of home wheat this year haa - made necessary Importations of a better grade from Canada for mix ing purposes. Flour manufactured from Canada - wheat. , which Is sold in the United States, , will aimply hsv the duty added to it for payment by the consumer; but in the case of flour 'for export the duty become a serious han dicap to th advantage of Canadian and British flouring mills. The duty can not be recovered easily under tne a raw back law, which figures In high tariff literature as such a crushing answer to the argument that the taxation ot raw materials constitutes an obstacle to the development of our export trade; and so the mill la question, at considerable expense and bother, asks to be placed In bond where government officials will not th extent to - which Canadian wheat Is used In flour tor export, and will permit a suspension ot the custom duty accordingly. - - ---.

It I difficult to un derstand why, when such cases are made clearly apparent, there should be mot onlv the more stubborn refusal, on the part ' of those responsible for the existing tariff schedules, - to recognise the - need - of - revision and modification. The tariff on wheat in particular never had any rood reason for existence. Or dinarily It la as absurd and unprotsctlve as would be a tariff on cotton, and at other times, as the present, . It becomes a nuisance . to trade and a tax' upon bread for noma consumers, it original ly, obtained a place In the tariff law In order to deceive the farmer and make htm think that he was a direct beneflcl ary of th protective system aa well a th manufacturer, and It ha held it place there ever alno for similar pur poses of deception.
