THE INTERNATIONAL Af;iMEIEWERT The rotted States menace failed 10 pass the Canadian reciprocity autres. . set the sseeien clovfeg us Saturday without a vote having heel readied. PresidentTaft has tabled a special sea sion to meet nn April 4th to deal with the matter. The new Senate will have a larger membership at low -tar- iff men than that which has just been dissolved. and it is confidently •E - peeled that the measure will go through. In the House of Comm)Os at Ot- tawa on Tuesday Sin Wilfrid Laurier gave a great speech in favor of the agreement, declaring emphatimilly•his belief that the Gover'nment's policy basjtbe enthusiastic approval of a ma- jority- of the Canadian people. INCONSISTENCIES. The anti -reciprocity organs are now circulating to statement to the effect that the farmers from the United States who have settled in the West- ern Provinces are opposed to recipe*: city, for the reason that they came to Canada to avoid the operation of the trust,, which they fear will invade Canada under the new trade agree- ment. Leaving aside for the present the question of the trusts, is not the state- ment that the settlers from across the line are opposed to reciprocity a direct contradiction of the position formerly taken by the "antis"—namely, that the Western movement for freer trade was being engineered by these same new settlers be,auee they were annex- ationists at heart ? The fact is that an opponent of reci- procity can hardly open his mouth on the sub'ec wit j t4 hoot contradicting him- self. "The United St atee market is of no beneflt to the farmer"—in the next breath "the farmers will desert the British market and ship their pro- ducts to the States." The farmer is told that he will not get higher; prices 'for his beef and grain. etc. --the city dweller is told that his meat and flour will coat him more. One restriction - let tells us that Canada will be flooded with fruits, farm products. lumber, etc., from the United States. The nett one declare,' that we are "giving away" our raw materials to the States. Mr. 9ifton sees the dismal pros- pect of the farmer suffering for awhile under free trade in the things be sells and protection on the things he buys and eventually declaring for annexa- tion in order to'get cheaper manufac- tured articles. And now here before us is The London Free Press with an entirely different argument. Under reciprocity "we will have built up a trade with the United States that will asake that country not only our near- est, hut our beat market." Then the Washington Government will threat- en to close their market to us, and the population of Canada in the meantime, under tb. beneficent influence of reci- procity, having perhaps more than doubled, and many of the newoomers having no regard for (Janadlan nation- Ilty. the country will declare for an imitation in preference to losing the United State, market!

Does his opposition Gr reciprocity wipe out (in the eyes of The Free Press) all these alleged misdeede ; or does The Free Press now admit that these charges against Mr. Sifton were mete wind? Can The Free Press give a straight answer to these questions, without talking all around them ? Mr. Milton either was or was not a "grafter"— which is it, Mr. Free Press? And while The Free Pima is about it, will it give ill candid opinion of the position of Hon. Geo. E. Foster in the Conserviitive party ?

There is no better way of help- ing the tanner than by providing him with a good market for what he has to sell. All the advice obtainable on methods of agriculture will avail little unless the farmer can be assured of a profitable market for what he pro- ducee. These lousiness omen, as- sembled from all parts of Outeri° last week, cannot expect that farmers will pay touch attention to their professed interest in agriculture when they de- liberately nullity all their goon inten- tions by endeavoring to deprive the farmer of what be thinks will be to his advantage. EDITORIAL NOTES. R -E -C -I -P -R -O -C -I -T -Y means more money for Goderich fishermen. Mr. Sifton's constituents at Bran- don have passed a resolution favoring the reciprocity pact., Will Mr. Sifton remain in Parliament aa the rspre.ent- 8LIVO of electors whoa,- views he mis- represents? Now it is repotted that the Niagara district fruit -growers are getting over their reciprocity scare. ,and are begin- ning to see the advantages of the opening o fthe United States market to their products. In the meantime the fruit lands of the Niagara penin- sula have not dropped in value. The London (Eng.) Times says edi- torially : "We cannot tell how far the sporadi- cally raised cry of annexation is influ- encing Canadian opinion, hat there is no reason to suppose that the recipro- city agreement should produce any tendency in that direction. On the contrary, bargaining on equal terms. with the United States might tend to foster rather than diminish the self- reliance and independence of the Can- adian people." In defence of its action in abolish- ing the county model schools the Ontario Government claimed that the present scarcity of teachers in this Province was not due to any lack of candidates for the profession, but that it was owing to the fact that so many of the teachers were going to the West. If the flguree quoted by The London Advertiser are correct—and it quotes from official reports—this claim does not represent the facts. In the last year of the model school. 1,760 young men and women were in train- ing in these institutions. Aeco rding to the latest report of the itepartment of Education only 1,1(14 were enrolled pr all the normal schools. Of the lat- ter number a large proportion were ° persons who had taught before, and k instead of 1.760 teeruita from the model schools there were .tamely Of10 from the normal schools.

The following letter appeared in The Goderich,•Star last weer : Dear Sir,—A Gudericb Signal of February 9th came to our house to- night and I was interested in the edi- torial, "a Terrible Discovery," "What Agriculture Say.,," etc. Since I am yet a loyal Canadian and ioter- ested.in Canada's welfare, I would like to say a few words in your columns on the reciprocity move at Ottawa. 1 receivyed an electrical engineering edueatiodin one of the foremost en- gineering schools in the United States, some of the professors in which are Government experts in fuel and nat- ural resources, so the statements I make as coining from then) are these of "men who know," who are on the inside, as we say, in such matters. Moreover, i am constantly meeting MPH who are educated and shrewd in their business, some of them directors of great c-rporatioos and very much "Yankee," whose opinions count for a good deal, so 1 can speak with a knowledge The Signal does not pos- sess about the general temper of the people here regarding Canada and the British Empire. Since thio give-away game of the Canadian Government hits started. I have constantly asked my neighbors in ear, office and store, "What do you think of reciprocity ?" and I only wish all Canadians could hear their answers, there would be fewer people advocating reciprocity in Canada. not even The Signal, I would hope. It might he interesting to know something of the natural resou.ces of the United States and to quote some of the opinions of American experts on the neceasity for their conserva- tion : Prof. Ewald, Government fuel ex- pert, says that about seventy -live years will see the exhaustion of their coal supply. I)r. Steinmetz, consult- ing engineer of the General Electric Co., says practically the game thing. as do others who are competent judge.. They also state that the iron ore is fast being used up and that the best grades of iron ore and coal are now practically used up. Lumber has ceased to be classed as a natural re- source. Most of the pulpwood timber comes from Canada, and it the Yan- kee mills could not get Canadian pulp timber they would have to close down or go peer to Canada with their mills. The finest farming land and wheat belts have been taken up long ago, and now the soil is "wbeated" out and. farmers have to nee fertilizers. The beet fisheries are in Canadian waters. Canada abounds with water powers, iron, nickel, ooal, copper and other metals and resources that the fat -see- ing and shrewd thinkers of the United States see the practical exhaustion of In this country. IITTence the answer to that "Terrible discovery' article in 1'he Signal from which i quote : "Now that the Washington Govern- ment in the reciprocity proposals is removing the ground for complaint (the unfavorable belar.ce of trade) by snaking much larger tariff reductions than Canada fs waked to make, our protectionista have made another alarming discovery," etc. Did the editor of The Signet or his readeri ever know a Yankee to make larger reductions than anyone else, or give more than he was aimed tc give, :rept he had a might gond reason nr it ?

In regard to our pulpwood, it was stated by experts (toe Yankee kind in n • whose wisdom Mr. Rundle hes so much confidence) before the United ° States Congress that the agreement will mean the removal of the wanu facture of paper to Canada. Mr. Ruodle says that most of tbef pulp- ; wood timber now used in the United • States come. from Canada. 1f under the changed conditions of the recipro- n, cal agreement Canada ceases to send g, her pulpwood to the States, and in - of stead sends the manufactured paper, n . employing many men in her paper i- mills, the result will be quite to Mr. e Rundle's liking. of ! As for wheat, does not Mr. Rundle et know that under the bonding priv- • ileges which have been in existence for years Canadian wheat zan he ly shipped through the United States to end United States wheat through n Canada? Canada has the tetter e_ route and is getting the businew and ,r• ' will contirnte to get it. But under the at I new deal there will be .harper compe- s_ tition among the millers of the two n countries for Canadian wheat and keener competition among the rail- ways for freights, with resulting *d- ie vantage to the Western farmers. o, This country was not made for the n C. P. R. o.• the C. N. R. or any other t railway. and if J. J. Hill will pat t y i_ wheat wore cheaply for our farmers e than the other railways he will get f :he business and b- welcome to it. But we fancy that J. J. Hill and his wen are not "cure" enough to beat the C'anadiats railways at their own game. Canadians of a proper spirit resent all this talk of being outwitted by their neighbors of the States. The Yankees rosy have pulled John Bull's leg on a number "f occasions, but when they have had C+radians to deal with, as In the recent fisheries arbitra- tion, they halve not had things their own way. Canadian educational in- stitutions, although apparently not good enough for Mr. Rundle. have produced men and women who are fully able to cope with their neigh- bors of the Republic when they owes in competition with there. And if Mr. Rundle, after being educated and having settled down in the Stater, can still call himself "a loyal Cana- dian," we do not think that the Oana- diens who remain in the land of their birth are likely to be seduced into an- nexat ion. Mr. Rundle is able to see how the United' States has been suffering under high tariffs, until be says, it is tinder the domination of trots, "con- trolled by practically thirteen men.' For relief they are taking the sensible course of reducing their tariff. That is entirely in their own hands, and Cat.adians cannot, if they would. pre- vent the carrying nut of their design to open their market to Canadian wheat, beef, fish and other oommodi- tee. We on our side of the Ilae have full control of our gown tariff, and any reductions wbich ani proposed at the pnaent. time are quite as justifiable troth the viewpoint of the great mass of the Canadian people as are the re- duction. on the otber side in the esti- mation of the United States people and in the eyes apparent/7, of Mr. Rundle himself. The fart of the whole matter is that on both sides of the line the influence of the common people (as opposed to the "intere.G."I 1s Ming directed effectively against the restric- tions which towed trusts and inonopo. Ilea and which rob the producer and the consumer alike of • portion of the wealth they create.—Ern Stakes.. We are forced to the conclusio from many of lir. Rundle ° remark that he has never read the terms the proposed agreement between Ca Ada and the 'United States. He ev densly does not know that it is not "treaty," that Canadians are' •n binding themselves "hands and fe for years," that they are not "losin control of their own raw materials His sources of information apparent have been some of the "loyalis papers of Canada, whose ambitio seems to be to. slander their own con try end their own countrymen. Fr example, the untrue statement th the Oliver Plow Uo, bad ceased riper tions on the extension of its Canadia plant at Hamilton. Neither does Mr. Rundle know apparently, what is going on on h own side of the- line. We happen t know over here that the majority i the House of Representatives a Washington that passed the sec proelty hill was not composed of th friends of the trusts. A majority n the Republicans, the party of high protection, voted against it, and it was carried only by the votes of Dem. ocra is elected in opposition to the trusts In 16e Senate, where "stand - patters' abound and where the trusts exercise their influence most strongly, the agreement was defeated or. at least, was blocked. And if the "cute" Yankees were playing a trick to lead green and innocent Cana- dians into a trap --;annexation, de- struction of our natural resources, bondage to the trusts, or whatever it might be—is it not rather a reflection upon their astuteness that they failed to let the biggest anti -Canadian scneechers ha on the deal, but left them to vote ageinet and defeat their scheme? Another thing we happen to know over here, deepite our lack of oppor- tunities, is that it is the "interest*' on both rides of the line, the friends 4 the trivets, the touters for combines and monopolies, who ere opposing the agreement. 1f Mr. Rundle would look for the facts, he would find that Presi- dent Taft has incurred the hitter re- proaches of the "standfatiers" for daring to knock a few bricks off the tariff wall behind which the United States trusts have hitherto ambushed themselves for their assaults upon the- consumers. heconsun.ers. Mr. Taft has taken a wider view of the needs of the people of his country than has hitherto pre- vailed at Washington, and in at- tempting a reduction of the tariff on some of the necessaries of life he has taken the side of the common people an opposed to the "interests." That one result of this totem is to give Cana- dian farmers and other produced an oppnrtuoity of salting their 'mods to greater ad.entage than formerly in the United States market is certainly nothing that should alarm (•anedisns, and ('anadlanr who understand the situation, and who are net tied up to the "interests" or tsnnstrained by mis- erable party prejudices, are not ape erred.
