510 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Off. DOO. 



Aud now, gentlemen, I ask you Ihrough a sense of fairness to your 

 fellow farmers in the east and for the protection of your own business 

 from serious competition in your best nmrket, to earnestly advocate 

 the Grout bill, aud to tax the fraud out of oleomargarine. Can any 

 reasonable man accept and use free or cheap government land, which 

 is practically a subsidy, or ask for governmental aid for irrigation, 

 or ask that wool be relieved from dishonest competition with shoddy, 

 and at the same time refuse to grant dairymen the just protection 

 they so sorely need?
