2. The population of the couutre

purclhaeiug power and a stronger na-
tion.
8. iilaunf cures would spring up in
every part cif the Country, givittg lucra-

A FREE TRADE jonrnntl, in r•rd •r to
shake a poiut in favor of its theory,
alterations the fact that in one plaice iu
the United States the farmers can only
;el seventy-five cents per bis-ih•e1 for
wheat, This, of conrse, it argues is
owing to the protecti'•n of the United
Stated. If so, it 1s very strange that
the price in towns only a few miles
distatt is much higher. It is probable
the lowneya of !trice at the point mei,-
tioued is due: to some local oause which
is soscel'tible of being removed. One
of the strong pointe of the free trade
journals is that the Liverpool market
controls the price of wheat over not
only Canada but the "United States as
well. But it strikes us that these dig
orejranciev in prices in different parts
of the United States knock that theory
on the !heal!.
