[w51] Walipetoil, Dakota, F. H. BUTLER & CO., nd r»fvv "WWTOH Canadian capitalists are establish ing grain warehouses along the line of the Canadian Pacific with head quarters at Montreal, which prom ises to prove beneficial to the grain producers of the northwest, calling out the St. Paul Dispatch as follows: "Ift has long been a cause for com plaint that the Minnesota and Da kota farmer has been subjected to competition with Manitoba wheat, which is conceded to be an excellent variety. The Minneapolis Robber's Association has held this competi tion over the head of the Minnesota farmer like a club and used it to compel him to accept their terms for his own product. The only protec tion vouchsafed him—the govern ment tariff on grain—was, through the perfidy of Windom, taken away in the interests of the llobberg by Hlie granting by the treasury depart ment atr Washington of a "draw back," or rebate, equal to the cus toms duties. Now, Canadian capi tal has entered the field, and, with the active co-operation of the Ca nadian Pacific road, as outlined in our special telegrams,bids fair to cir cumscribe more narrowly the Rob bies'. field of operation. In other words, the Minneapolis -mills have to have wheat or the capital invest ed will be a losing investment and they will have to get that wheat hereafter this side of the line, exclu sively from the Minnesota and Ihi kota farmers. On this account the Dispatch hails the new departure with rejoicing satisfaction, mainly because it benefits our friends, the farmers and secondarily because it is a blow at that ctirsed monopoly the Millers' Association.'^ -o 4it*t! i* yz&T&zy*-* ~ig- liii WIDOW KmuQCHt igtYMmiMf. 507 aiSem 700 »m 740*m 7.R8 am 10% km ItSOp M'W [nsEa*t, 4HwmodaUoSt..
