and to casual observers the adinit-
tance of our product free to this
number of people would creete a

who advance this theery have'teysi
considered that thio 6ti,000,000 of
people are producing a surplus of
everything that we do, and are
competitors in 'he same market
that aur Canadian farmers are.
Then with a reciprocity of tariffs on
farm products the competition of
the United States farmer agnist the
Canadian farmer would be greater,
because the former are in the ma-
jority. Of course, we refer to a class
of products which do 1.ot compete

farm product in American markets
similarly situated to our central
markets is not so high as in Onta-

says :-
"tA1I farm productions are low. Our
butchers get all the steers they can
handle at $2.25 per cwt., and it takes
the best hogs to br:ng ;33.40 ; wheat is

Canadians can hardly fail to note
the contrast in tone with that

in the case of the Behring Sea dis-

possibly be surer that he is in the

American matter. What is the
cause of the difference ? Probably
the true explanation is to be found
in the disparity tai English eyes of
the interests involved in the two
cases, though the magnitude of the

are glad, however, to believe this

Earl Derby, in te speech at Liverpool
un tbe Irish questiou, admitted that a
land purchase sehemo was necessary as
the lesser of two evils. Thelatest federal
development of the home rule idea, he
said, was much more reasonable than
Gladstone's original proposals, and
doubtless could be made to work, but
he believed it to be impossible to create
a satisfactory central body responsible
for Imperial affairs, because the
English representation would outweigh
the Scotch, Irish and Welsh together.
