No tariff can change this condition. The one factor that de- termines whether you are to receive much or little for the wheat you grow is the world price level which is fixed in Liver- pool, England, and which varies with the supply of wheat in the world market. The average amount handled in the world market is 650,000,000 bushels—of which Canada supplies al- most a third. Therefore, if any part of Canada’s wheat can be can brands. This wheat passes through our ports to turn the wheels of foreign mills— kept out of the world market, the natural result will be an in- crease in the price you get for your wheat, at home and abroad. The millers of this country, who are the farmer’s best cus- tomer, buying 80% of his wheat each year, have suggested a plan to stop Canadian wheat in transit, mill it in American mills, by American labor—and export it as flour under Ameri- If this plan is adopted it will mean— More U.

If the miller is to get back the duty he pays on each 100 pounds of Canadian wheat he must export 100 pounds of flour. But the 100 pounds of Canadian wheat makes only 70 pounds of flour. use 43 pounds of American wheat to make the total of 100 pounds of flour which he must export in order to get his duty back.

It assures you a bigger home market for your own wheat and a bigger price.
