THE FLOUR -MILLING INDUSTRY.
The ree.i t opening of the Western
Canada Floor Mills Company's new
plant at Mt. Boniface has afforded the
orcanion for a controversy between
Th. Tot -onto Mail and F mpire and
The Winnipeg Free Press in regard to
the effect of protection un the milling
industry. Thr Mail and Empire said
"Had flour toren on the fr'e'e list the
huge plant of the \\'sacro Canada
Flour Mills Company would not have
eaten at St. Boniface, and the count. r
would not now have the immeme
works of the Lake of the \V.ekls Com-
pany, the Ogilvie Company, and other
poll[' Illanlltartlretv."
The Free Pres. pointed out that it
would jrlmt he an rr:a"Onahlr fur The
Mail and Empire to salt that if wheat
were on the free list there would be
none grown in t he Canadian West. if
the present tariff un flour or wheat
was quadnlplel. or Abolished, the ef-
fel•t on the wheat -growing indnmtry
