Halaman 974 - Canadian miller to the amount of 27i cents per barrel of flour and the byproducts, if both barrels are made of Canadian wheat. Under the proposed treaty he would be protected to the amount of 50 cents on the flour and 9 cents on the bran and shorts, or 59 cents in all, an increase of over 100 per cent.

I am not going to take the time of the committee in discussing that, because I have better evidence as to what the cost of production in this country is, and I also have better...
