The farmer " should receive for his wheat at least. per bushel. - $1.40. for his flax $2." the distinguished Senator says in con0 nection with professions of his capacity to speak from personal e experience and study. I can assure anyone interested that he k can come to Montana and grow rich on wheat at 80 cents and flax at $1.25. though I hope as sincerely as the Senator possibly - can that he may get even better than $1.40 for the one and $2 f for the other. I have said thus much. and perhaps tediously. because I felt that the general circulation of the speech of the Senator in his y State and others adjacent would have a tendency to deter some h from coming to our State to help us develop its rich resources or - prompt them to choose rather to swell the tide of emigration d which. to our reproach. has in recent years rolled across the e boundary to the Canadian northwest. e What is the complaint. Mr. President. that is made in respect e to flaxseed?
