NOTES. The Toronlo News. declares that "a. free trader is a person who has Iota the capacity to reanon from ally national standpoint." Alienists say that it is tumal for lunatic,' to imagine that everybody is crazy but them- selves- However, it would not. do to easy that The News ham lost its "capa- city to reouson"--it never had any. The restrictionist preen tells us that reciprocity will open the door to the Cnited State' trusts It is not ex- plained to us why the truets on both sides of the line are fighting Against reciprocity. It is protection that breeds trunts. and recipmcity meant; less. rather than more. protecticm. Trusts do not flourish a free mar- ket.

The Crime of the Fermin. Chatham Neu*. A wail mines froni anti -reciprocity thouteni that the farmers of Canada are twine organized in suprt a the reciprocity agreement. ..Despicable development: says The Hsanilton Spectator. It is, indeed. lamentable that the feigners of Canada should dee- crud to such ignoble tactics as to or- ganize in .ttipport of anything that will benefit them. Cannot they see that all their organising should he done for the purpotte of helping the capitalists of Toronto and Montreal to secure further and bigster dividends at their expense ? The Taz on Chinese Women. Hematites Spectator. Conte te think, it does seem rather Absurd for Canadian reforie advocates to cry out against marriages between Chinese and white girls when the Can- adian Governuient puts a head tax of OM on every Chinese woman coming into the country. If the Chinaman can get a white wife for lees than that amount one can hardly blame hitn. The tax on Chineee womett coming to Canada to double up with men of their own race or to join their huebands already here should he removed. - Trade and Nationality. Tomato star. London Truth gives a logical an- swer to the argument that closer trade relations mean annexation. Enghoul and Germany are taken as an illustration. They do a larger trade with .me another than do any other European countries During the very period of the greateet growth of this trede the relations of England sod Germany have bemuse more end more unfriendly. In 190V the earn- inerce between England end Germany amounted to $520,000,000. and between England and France. which are quite friendly, to only $375.00lelle0. The' American Economist, which savagely denounces the reciprocity agreement, prints a letter from "one of tbe largest handlers of American fruit and farm produce in the United States," who snalyzes the arrange- ment as follows : ' Potatoes. New Brunswick (Can- ada) ....can grow double the crop of New York State. Cabbage. Can be grown in On- tario double the weight per acre in New York State. Apples, fresh. She (Canada) grows better apples than Americie Oats. Prince Edward Island and other parte of Canada mow double the crop per acre to what is grown in many part 8 of America. Mbeep and Iambs. Everybody knows Canadian sheep are larger. The London Advertiser. comment- ing upon this, points out tbat there ie an element of truth in this trhute to Canadian agriculture. It is another proof that tbe arguments used against reciprocity in the United States des- troy the areuments used against it in Canada. Here the farmers are warned against a flood of American competition. The opponents of recip- rocity in the United States have the better case : they have only to cite the market quotations. With free ex- change there will he a flow of farm products in hoth directions out at prism eat, but the larger stream must flow to the United States tnarket. where prices range bidet.. The Ploughman.
