AND USE IN UNITED STATES. 6/ 



The foregoing considerations should be 

 sufficient to convince the candid reader 

 that the proposal to place flax on the 

 "free list" is a reasonable one. The re-

 that free-traders and protectionists can 

 alike welcome. To retain the duty on 

 flax of any kind, is not protection.
